Hundreds of troops and military vehicles paraded through the streets of Beijing as China showed off its military capabilities in a grand display of power. The parade, which included tanks, missiles, and fighter jets, was part of the National Day celebrations marking the founding of the People's Republic of China.
President Xi Jinping inspected the troops and delivered a speech praising the country's armed forces for their dedication and professionalism. The parade also featured a flyover by the country's most advanced aircraft, including the J-20 stealth fighter.
The event drew attention from around the world, with leaders such as Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin in attendance as guests of President Xi. Australian Prime Minister Dan Andrews was also present, signaling closer ties between China and Australia.
The display of military might comes at a time of heightened tensions in the region, with China asserting its territorial claims in the South China Sea and Taiwan. The parade served as a reminder of China's growing influence and military capabilities, sending a strong message to its regional rivals and the international community.
