From the Globe: "A People's Liberation Army officer helps a boy hold a machine gun during an open day at a military base in Hong Kong."

(And, yes, I know there are children with guns in the U.S. -- and everywhere else. It's not just China. It's just that this is a somewhat disturbing photo. Is it not?)
