China Prepares for Monumental Military Parade in Beijing
China is set to hold a massive military parade in Beijing to mark 80 years since World War II ended. The parade will showcase new weapons and military equipment, highlighting China's military capabilities. President Xi Jinping and international dignitaries will attend as security measures increase in the city.
China is gearing up for a monumental military parade in Beijing next month, commemorating 80 years since the end of World War II. This event, following Japan's formal surrender, will feature military prowess through an extensive showcase of aircraft and ground equipment, including some never before seen by the public, as confirmed by military officials.
Scheduled for September 3, the parade is China's second since 2015 and aims to project the strength of the People's Liberation Army. Neighboring countries and Western observers are expected to scrutinize China's display of power, which includes new tanks, early warning aircraft, and drone countermeasure devices.
The spotlight will be on China's expanding range of missiles, with particular focus on anti-ship variants and hypersonic capabilities, as global powers like the U.S. ready themselves for potential future regional conflicts. President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and other foreign leaders will witness this display of military might at Tiananmen Square.
