The center will be operational on September 22, eight days before the October 1 celebrations begin, the Xinhua News Agency said.

The news center will issue press cards and provide journalists with other news services, such as translations of Chinese news reports.

However, reporters will have to apply first in order to attend the celebrations. The application period is from August 3-23.
