The Chinese government has banned every entertainment television show since Sep. 1, which included the popular reality talent show "The Voice Of China" and the "Happy Camp" variety show, so that people will get the mood for the Victory Day parade, held on Sep. 3.

Some people described it as a patriotic move. However, not all people were impressed and happy about the ban.

According to BBC, a user Yaxixi posted on China's Twitter-like Weibo site that the blanketing over the entertainment TV shows was a step like "ignorant brainwashing," and another named Alex Huaier added that "The victorious country is banning entertainment, whereas the losers continuing singing and dancing - isn't it paradoxical?"

On Thursday's parade, China made it perfect by creating four eye-catching presentations. First was deploying falcons and macaques, which are Asian monkeys with sturdy build. They have been trained to climb trees to destroy bird nests for the preparation of the parade so that the birds would not destroy the fighter jets' engines.

The monkeys were able to dismantle six to eight bird nests per day and left their scent on the trees so that the birds do not build their nests again. On the other hand, the falcons were deployed to circle the skies to scare the other birds away. Also, bird breeders were warned not to release their pigeons during the day of the parade.

Second was Beijing pledged to ensure to have blue skies on the day of the parade, because Chinese government is able to improve the weather when it puts its mind to it. However, local people argued online that the government should do it often to improve the quality of their lives.

Third was trimming the generals. The 50 generals with 53 years average have to take part in the parade. They have to lose five kilograms each and should train for the "perfect standing posture" by putting playing cards between their hands, legs and knees.

Fourth was the tight security and censorship. Social media and internet were tightly controlled by the Chinese government by issuing guidelines to people that only positive comments are allowed.

On the day of the 70th anniversary that commemorated the World War II, the Victory Day parade showed off over 12,000 troops, tanks and missile launchers that paraded through Beijing's Tiananmen Square, according to The Guardian. The occasion was spectacular, showing the military strength and Xi Jinping's grip on power.
