Not really - more just a heads up, but it seems September 3~5 (thurs, fri and sat) will be public holidays and then Sunday 6th will be a work day due to the 70 year anniverary of the defeat of Japan in WWII. Will affect the private school guys and for the uni crowd it kind of makes for an odd first week back.

Is this because it is it is the 70-year anniversary?
I was teaching 10 years ago but don't remember it being celebrated as a 60th.

Probably right. Little Brother following Big Brother.
Though I think Russia (Putin) wanted a big patriotic show to divert attention from issues closer to home. MH17 being one.

All he!! has broken lose in B-Town, with road block and motorcycle checks everywhere and regulations about where motorcycles can travel and which ones according to number plate can enter the ring roads.....incl. ele bikes and possible detention (happened this weekend to a Chinese rider with a fake license) in in violation of proper paperwk. We were stopped west of Beijing leaving a mountain geo park and given the once over and recorded info.

I hope i got this all pasted.....as to the reason why .. I think it is a dual purpose to rid the city of motorcycles .... enforce the Jing B ban inside the city .... and to regulate traffic useage by Jing A number plates.... inclu. days of legal operations .. and oh, Sept is a celebration of the Defeat of the Japanese .... I have heard that Putin and Obama will attend.....
