China flexes its military muscle in the presence of Putin and Kim in the largest military parade in decades. Beijing - Arabian Sea Tiananmen Square in the Chinese capital witnessed today, Wednesday, the largest military parade in decades, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. The parade was attended by Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in an unprecedented tripartite public appearance, carrying a clear message about the nature of the new alliances in Asia. The parade included long-range hypersonic missiles, advanced drones, and modern defense systems, in a display aimed at emphasizing China's rise as a competing global military power. Xi Jinping delivered a speech in which he warned that the world is facing two choices: Peace or war. Strategic Angle: This event puts Beijing at the forefront of the global stage and establishes a tripartite axis (Beijing-Moscow-Pyongyang) in the face of the West. It is not just a military celebration, but a declaration of entering a new phase of international power balances.
