China has launched its biggest military parade in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II,with 10,000+ troops and massive military displays. Columns of marching troops, armoured convoys and fighter jets thundered through and over Tiananmen Square. Chinese troops marched in lockstep for a review by Xi, who is also head of China's military. The massive parade showcased some military hardware which was on public view for the first time.
In a brief speech, Xi told a crowd of over 50,000 spectators that the world, once again, faced a choice between war and peace, and that the Chinese people "firmly stand on the right side of history."









80 years on, China honors victory, upholds peace 
Marking the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, China reflects on the backbone that carried the nation through 14 years of struggle — unity, sacrifice and faith. In today’s uncertain world, remembering history is meant to serve peace, not fuel hatred. China reaffirms its commitment to true multilateralism, justice and shared security. The enduring spirit of "the backbone" continues to guide the country's path toward national rejuvenation.
