"China is preparing for one of the most anticipated and politically charged military events in recent years. On September 3, in Tiananmen Square, China will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II with a spectacular military parade that is not only a ritual of historical remembrance but also a message to the entire world to be prepared for the war of the future."
"The official theme is the celebration of peace and international justice, but the real content will be the demonstration of the People's Liberation Army's ability to fight high-tech wars in new strategic domains: cyberspace, outer space, electronic and hypersonic warfare. According to leaked information from Chinese dress rehearsals and official sources, more than 100 models of weapon systems, all domestically produced and already in operational service, will be on display."
China will hold a military parade on September 3 in Tiananmen Square marking the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan. President Xi Jinping and foreign leaders including Vladimir Putin will attend, prompting concern from some European diplomats about legitimizing Russia. The roughly 70-minute event will feature dozens of formations, more than 10,000 military personnel, over 100 aircraft, and hundreds of ground vehicles. The display will emphasize PLA capabilities for high-tech multidomain warfare—cyberspace, outer space, electronic, and hypersonic domains—with over 100 domestically produced operational weapon systems. Highlighted systems include the YJ anti-ship missile series aimed at countering U.S. carrier power within an A2/AD strategy.
