China showcased its growing geopolitical and military power with its largest-ever parade on Wednesday, surprising global audiences, including Western leaders, as President Xi Jinping stood alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
The parade, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, featured tanks, missiles, fighter jets, and thousands of troops marching through Tiananmen Square in perfect synchrony.
In his address, Xi Jinping warned that the world faces a critical choice between peace and war, accusing certain nations of bullying and declaring China “unstoppable.” The display was seen as a strong signal to the US, Europe, and regional neighbors that Beijing is prepared to defend its core interests at any cost.
The event unveiled advanced weaponry, including nuclear-capable missiles, drones, stealth aircraft, and fighter jets, highlighting China’s rapid military modernization. With over 50,000 spectators and dozens of world leaders present, the parade’s symbolism extended beyond military strength.
Xi emphasized the “rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” interpreted as a veiled warning on Taiwan. Analysts noted that while the People’s Liberation Army has advanced, Xi’s ongoing purges demonstrate his firm grip on military power. The parade capped a week of high-level diplomacy, underscoring Beijing’s alignment with Russia and signaling defiance toward the West amid the Ukraine conflict
