On September 3, Beijing held a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. International media outlets closely followed the events and unanimously noted that the military parade demonstrated China's significant progress in military development. Amid the ongoing tensions in the global situation, China is sending a strong signal of its commitment to peace and international cooperation.
The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, the British newspaper The Guardian and other leading media published photo reports capturing the exciting moments of the military parade.
The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reports that the parade demonstrated coordination and military might: more than 10,000 troops and hundreds of units of ground equipment took part in the grand parade on Beijing's Chang'an Street.
A reporter for Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao newspaper, reporting from the parade, noted that the parade featured cutting-edge weapons, from strategic nuclear forces "capable of striking anywhere on Earth" to hypersonic "carrier killers" and AI-powered stealth drones and underwater drones. The report emphasized that China displayed not only military hardware, but also a powerful capability for the rapid production of advanced and diverse weapons.
The American magazine Foreign Policy, in an article titled “China’s Military Has Brought a Lead,” writes that today China has become an innovator and technology leader in robotics, electric vehicles, solar energy, drones, high-speed rail, and artificial intelligence. The military parade on September 3 convincingly confirmed that military technologies should be added to this list. The article notes that the military parade became a relevant demonstration of China’s military power and an opportunity to look into its future.
The Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reports that the grand military parade in Beijing not only demonstrated China's defensive might to the world, but also underscored its growing diplomatic influence.
The Indian newspaper Telangana Today points out that the event was organised to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Despite the ongoing tensions in the global situation, China sent a strong signal of its commitment to peace and international cooperation.
The article recalls that during the World Anti-Fascist War, China was the first to join the resistance and waged it the longest. The Chinese theater of military operations held back and repelled the main forces of Japanese militarism for a long time. Losses among the Chinese military and civilian population exceeded 35 million people, which is about a third of the total victims of World War II.
The editor-in-chief of the Russian magazine National Defense, Igor Korotchenko, in an interview with the Sputnik news agency, said that the military parade demonstrated that China is a first-class military power and has a developed military-industrial complex.
Another article by Sputnik, citing experts, notes that the military parade on September 3 became a centralized demonstration of China’s military might, as well as a peace manifesto addressed to the world.
Experts stressed that the military parade demonstrated China's ability and determination to safeguard national sovereignty and world peace. In the context of the intertwined changes and instability of the international situation and the rising unilateralism and hegemony policies, the parade sent a strong signal to the international community to preserve the post-war international order and defend multilateralism.
Qatar's Al Jazeera TV channel said the parade was a show of military might and China's historical memory. The key point is not to impress the world, but to send a clear message: China has not shied away from showing off its strength in the past or now, but it has not shied away from dialogue either.
