China is preparing to hold a large-scale military parade on September 3 in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The parade will feature tens of thousands of troops, over 100 aircraft, and hundreds of ground vehicles, showcasing the latest domestically produced military hardware. New-generation weapons, including fourth-generation tanks, carrier-based aircraft, fighter jets, hypersonic precision strike missiles such as the YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19, and YJ-20, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, underwater drones, directed-energy weapons, laser tanks, and electronic warfare systems, will be unveiled for the first time. The formations will be organized to reflect real combat functions under a wartime command system, emphasizing joint combat capabilities across land, sea, and air domains. Preparations for the event have been completed, with multiple rehearsals conducted involving AI motion capture technology to ensure precision. Officials stated the parade aims to demonstrate China's commitment to peace, international fairness, and justice while signaling its military modernization and strength amid geopolitical tensions with the United States and regional neighbors. The event will also feature the largest military band in the history of Chinese military parades, consisting of over 1,000 personnel. The parade is expected to provide a first opportunity for foreign observers, including potential rivals like the US, to assess China's advanced military capabilities.
