WWII Victory Parade in Beijing: China Unveils New Missiles, Tanks, and Laser Air Defence
Wednesday, 3 September 2025 () On Wednesday, September 3, Beijing hosted a grand parade on Tiananmen Square marking the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan and the end of World War II. The event became a showcase for China’s defense industry, highlighting new weapons systems designed with lessons from modern conflicts in mind. Experts: A Parade of Unusual Importance Vasily Kashin, Director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at HSE, noted that China does not hold annual parades, which gave this event particular weight. “This parade stands apart even among the past 15 years of Chinese parades. It was conceived as a demonstration of China’s new level of military power and may precede doctrinal changes,” he explained. On display were advanced armored vehicles, laser weapons, and missiles that could play a decisive role in a potential conflict with the United States.
