China’s military parade in honor of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II is in Beijing in Beijing on Wednesday, with Chinese President Xi Jinping hosting more than two dozen foreign leaders.
The military parade included a parade of rockets and tanks that shake along Tiananman Square, geese soldiers steps in a formation and fighter jets roaring over the capital while China showed its military valor.
President Zhinpin gave an opening speech to the stand for review overlooking Tiananman Square before examining the troops in a limousine, saying from time to time, “Greetings, comrades!”
More than two dozen foreign leaders, including Kim Jong Un in North Korea and Russia, Vladimir Putin, the chief of Myanmar Min Ang Ang -Loing, and Iranian President Masud Pezshian, have been in place, according to state -owned media, with Western leaders being absent.
The highly choreographed event is intended to show some of the country’s most weapons and notes “the country’s victory against Japanese aggression and the world’s victory against fascism.”
The Parate route will run along the Chang’an Avenue, the central Eastern artery of the city, passing Tiananmanmen Square and the entrance of the forbidden city.
Here are some scenes from the parade:
