In a carefully orchestrated show of strength, Xi Jinping is capping off a week of high-stakes diplomatic meetings with an elaborate China Victory Day military parade through the center of Beijing tomorrow on Sept. 3, according to CNN.
The spectacle will roll out China’s latest weaponry — from cutting-edge hypersonic missiles to nuclear delivery systems — while thousands of troops march in formation along the historic Avenue of Eternal Peace, the news media company reported.
The parade’s guest list reads like a who’s who of America’s biggest headaches as Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Xi, marking an unprecedented gathering that’s sure to raise eyebrows in Washington. Many see this alliance of convenience as a direct challenge to Western influence.
Xi’s message seems clear — combine raw military power with a diplomatic charm offensive. While the U.S. struggles to maintain consistent relationships with its traditional allies, Beijing is positioning itself as a reliable partner, particularly among nations that have historically clashed with Washington, CNN highlighted.
