A Chinese veteran is helped to adjust his uniform before a military parade marking the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan and the end of World War II, in Tiananmen Square on September 3, 2025, in Beijing, China. The missile is said to have a range exceeding 20,000 kms. China's Victory Day military parade serves as a powerful display of national pride and military power. This year's parade carries heightened geopolitical weight with the attendance of 26 world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, underlining China's diplomatic alliances as it presents itself as an alternative global leader.
