China’s military might on display with Putin and Kim Jong Un in attendance
The military parade, which commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of the World War II, continues in Beijing on Wednesday, and Chinese President Xi Jinping is home to more than two dozens of foreign leaders.
In the event that has been heavily choreography, Chinese will take part in a crossing ceremony with transitional missiles and tanks through the Tiananmen Square and the war jets that roar on the capital of the soldiers.
President Xi Jinping, from time to time, “Greetings, Comrades!”
Western leaders did not exist to a large extent, Kim Jong Un from North Korea, the chief of Myanmar’s Junta and Iranian President Masoud Pezshkian, and Vladimir Putin of Russia, Minmar’s Junta and Iranian President Masoud Pesshkian.
The parade ceremony is designed to exhibit some of the country’s newest weapons, and commemorates the country’s “victory against Japanese aggression and the victory of the world against fascism.”
The Parate route will move along the Tiananmen Square and the city’s entrance to the city of the Middle East -West Arteri Chang’an Boulevard.
Here are some scenes from the parade:
