China showcased advanced high-tech weapons and its modern warfare capabilities at the grand military parade in Beijing on September 3, 2025, which featured more than 10,000 troops, over 100 aircraft and hundreds of ground vehicles. The Victory Day parade marked the 80th anniversary of Japan\u2019s surrender and the end of World War II.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China unveiled latest stealth fighter jets, anti-ship missiles, air-defense systems, new intercontinental ballistic missile, undersea drones, as well as robot dogs, revealing the country\u2019s growing military strength under Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s vision to modernize the world\u2019s largest standing army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony brought together high-profile foreign dignitaries. With Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un among the guests of honor, the display was as much a demonstration of Beijing\u2019s military progress as it was a carefully orchestrated message about China\u2019s role in shaping a new world order.<\/p>\n\n\n

More than 50,000 people filled the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, where President Xi Jinping presided over a massive show of military hardware. Thousands of Chinese troops paid guard of honor in precise formations, accompanied by tanks, armored vehicles, and state-of-the-art missile systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overhead, a fleet of fighter jets and bombers roared through Beijing\u2019s skies, performing flyovers that drew applause from invited audiences. The parade highlighted a wide range of advanced systems, including hypersonic missiles, stealth drones, and modernized naval strike capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xi Jinping, dressed in a grey Mao-style suit, reviewed the troops from an open-top limousine, saluting units as they passed. In his keynote speech, he emphasized both national pride and military readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we honor the heroes who fought to secure peace, but we also show the world that the Chinese people are ready to defend our sovereignty and national security,\u201d Xi declared. His remarks reinforced the dual message of commemoration and deterrence, linking China\u2019s historical sacrifices to its modern strategic ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
