Sixty years of what? You are avoiding the real issue. Was China 'created' by the victorious WW II Allies sixty years ago?what makes so crazy, chinese are celebrating 60th anniversary?is that what every countries will do? parade is just a part of the celebration,don't be obsessed about it
China invented the world's first seismograph, it was crude but functional. When the Europeans were still choking their horses with the primitive throat harness, Chinese farmers were using the more advanced trace harness that put the load on the breastbone, resulting in increased longevity for the animal, longer labor and higher output.

We judge individuals by what they produce, not by their appearances. Even those among us who are exceptionally handsome, men and women, they also produce something, anything, based upon how they exploit their exceptionalism. No different for countries. Just like individuals, each political organism from what we call nation-states also have a decision maker -- the head or the government. The government can either allow or oppress the people's creativity, in the arts and the sciences. The trace harness endured over time. The Great Wall can be seen from orbit. Chinese artistic expressions in all medium are desired throughout the world.The link-work trace harness (or breast-harness) for horses was invented by the 4th century BC in Warring States China, while the fully developed collar harness was found in Southern and Northern Dynasties China during the 5th century AD.[1] The Chinese breast harness became known throughout Central Asia by the 7th century, introduced to Europe by the 8th century.
So what happened?
China and Japan were similar at the end of WW II. Japan was bombed very nearly back to the Stone Age with two of her cities were destroyed in the most terrifying mean yet known to mankind. But in the same time span that communism ruled over mainland China, Japan surpassed China to give the world one 'trace harness' after another. Same condition for Taiwan, the PRC's cousin. Look at those missiles and tanks and see how they shamed the original trace harness. That is what you are celebrating.
