The Guards of Honor of the People's Liberation Army perform the national flag-raising duty at the Tian'anmen Square in Beijing, Jan 1, 2018. This means that the PLA has taken over the responsibility of guarding the flag from the Armed Police. [Photo/VCG] The responsibility for guarding China's national flag and firing salute cannons was transferred to the People's Liberation Army starting Jan 1, 2018, as authorized by the Communist Party of China Central Committee. Before Jan 1, the ceremony had been conducted by the Armed Police since 1982. Here we remember and honor the services of the Armed Police force. silicone rubber bandsfabric wristbands ebayrubber wristbands custom cheapcustomise fidget spinnerrubber wristbandsrubber bracelets cheapmotivational wristbands for athletes
