I'm sure the rifles are empty or even just non functional replicas. How about the bayonets? Are they real or blunt replicas? Just imagine how easily a rogue soldier could cause some serious harm diplomatically... or even a war...A small but interesting observation is that China has changed protocol of security details for VIP.
The Chinese guard or head of security detail for Macron is wearing a (regular) police uniform rather than PAP uniform in the past.

They are professional and most definitely psychologically screened, has it ever happened in modern times where a Honor guard went rogue?
It is more like lackluster face saving. They got outmaneuvered in the last few months. China successfully isolated USA away in many affairs especially in the middle east. This is the USA trying to say I am still here but it won't work because everyone know they have no interest in solving problems. And with China-brokered Iran-Saudi normalisation nobody needs the USA in the middle east anymore.
IMHO, most neocons/neolibs thugs (e.g. Gallagher, Bolton, Pompeo, McFaul, Blinken, etc.) as most fundamentalists, are pretty much insane fanatics. These far-right nutjobs in Washington DC and their enablers need to be taught a very serious and a very thorough lesson.

The ridiculous thing is, all these moves China has made are all just warn ups and stage setting preparatory moves. None of them are direct counter attacks against American interests, all the damage America is feeling are very much spillovers and side effects.
China could deliver a whole series of devastating direct attacks immediately, but instead it is working to minimise blowback and collateral damage against China first. Because for decades, China’s primary defence against America attacking China is to mutually connect each other’s economies, whereby America will hurt itself as much, if not more than China with any economics or hot war. That strategy worked while America behaved rationally. But as Trump-Biden proved, America is no longer willing or able to act relationally. They basically blew past all the stages of grief and are now at the the suicide bomber stage of the uncharted lunatic zone way off the normal map.
China is slowly edging away while throwing distractions America’s way, to get itself safely outside of the blast radius before starting to seriously strike back.
I’ve said in the past that the west has lusted after China and dreamt of controlling China, not just for its vast territory but also its entire civilisation and people. They want to be gods of the civilisation that created gunpowder, paper, the wheelbarrow and now modern technologies like 5G and quantum communication. The west has lusted after China the way a stalker obsesses over Taylor swift.
And in the short instances where they did control some aspect of Chinese people, abominations have arisen like Saruman creating Uruk-hai from splicing orc and elvish bloodlines in torment and pain, we see this in the form of Falun Gong and Chinese Christian cults which combine the very worse aspects of both western and Asian cultures.
The mormons of the CIA and the Catholics of the FBI along with their unprincipled beltway bosses would love nothing better than China as a massive Philippines/ South Korea utterly beholden and enslaved to Anglo American power
what use are American dollars when the only thing China ever needed from America - tech - is denied to them?
and Australian whistleblowers who alert the public to the war factions in government, are persecuted
funny, is this how a liberal democracy is supposed to behave? Seems liberal democracies devolve into autocracies when the going gets tough. It just highlights how Anglos As a culture have no principles.
Amazing, maybe Xi reminded Macron he is a French man and must honour the memories of napoleon and degaulle
