CHINA
OVERTAKES JAPAN
AS
NUMBER TWO
ECONOMY.
OFFICIALLY.
THE FRONT GATE
("NEW CHINA GATE")
TO ZHONGNANHAI
SEAT OF THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES
BEIJING, CHINA
Behind these traditional trappings, in what is essentially a continuation of the "Forbidden City," lies the command center for the thirty-plus years of "reform" and "opening up" which have led to the People's Republic of China overtaking its World War II enemy (which started in China as the Sino-Japanese War). The photograph was taken about halfway through this period; a view close up and head-on of the Zhongnanhai "New China Gate" can be seen here.
