A Chinese paramilitary police yawns and his colleagues sleep while President Hu Jintao, unseen, delivers a speech on a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of China's reform held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China, Thursday, Dec. 18, 2008. Thirty years ago this month, China's communist leaders launched an economic revolution, opening the door to free market reforms and foreign trade though not to political change. The party marked the anniversary Thursday with a ceremony in the Great Hall of the People, opening with a speech from Hu Jintao, general secretary of the party and China's president.
