I have seen this in my Twitter stream today, and I can't really believe it - does the PRC state media really try to re-brand the photos as a "celebration"??

Then again, I think that's pretty much what they did with pictures from the Taipei student protests earlier this year...

They actually got some "celebrators" standing in front of the protesters claiming everybody is having a party.

Don't spread the FUD that others are creating.

This is a picture of a separate celebration event from the 26th (Friday). It's part of the celebration events leading up to 1st Oct.

The students were already boycotting classes and attending the protests around the CGO on Friday.
