Foreign media attention: Putin, Kim Jong Un and other leaders of 26 countries will attend the 93rd military parade to get a glimpse of China's strength!
The Author: EvanOn September 3, 2025, Tiananmen Square in Beijing is about to stage a grand event that will shock the world - a military parade to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 26 foreign heads of state and government gathered, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which triggered heated discussions in foreign media and exclaimed "unprecedented" "milestone event"! This is not only a ceremony to remember history, but also ChinaAre in a confident mannerA business card of strength to show the world!A high-standard guest lineup demonstrates China's diplomatic influence!
The guest list of this parade is simply a “global relationship illustration”! 26 heads of state and government, covering Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, are luxurious to make sense. The Russian President Vladimir Putin once said this was a “unprecedented” visit to China, showing China’s “back-to-back” friendship. After all, during the Second World War, the Soviet Union stood up against the enemy, the friendship of blood and fire was not a play!
The presence of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was even more eye-catching. This was his first visit to China since 2019, and he also participated in an unprecedented multilateral event. Foreign media called it "rare". Bloomberg and the BBC both said that this gave North Korea a strong sense of presence on the international stage.
The “big guys” from Southeast Asia also came – Indonesian President Prabhupada, Malaysian Prime Minister Anvar, along with all five Central Asian countries, showing how hard China has influence in its surroundings.Kim Jong-un was present in person,South Korea also sent National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik to attend,"Enemies" have to give face to China in the same frame!
The leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia also came, putting aside their differences and gathering in Beijing. Isn't this a reflection of the strength of China's Belt and Road Initiative to promote peace? European President Vucic of Serbia and Prime Minister Fizo of Slovakia are also among them.
As for the United States and the West? I'm sorry, I didn't invite current senior officials, but I invited descendants of 50 international friends from 14 countries, such as the family of Chennault, the American Flying Tigers. Isn't that sentimental? This list is not arbitrary, it is simply a "near-minded map" of Chinese diplomacy. iron relations with China, historical relationships, all came; those who don't have a heart, cough, your own measure!
Military science and technology muscle show highlights China's hard power!The military parade is not just a formality, it is a "super show" of Chinese military technology! According to Major General Wu Zezhi of the military parade leading group, the equipment on display this time is all domestic "hard goods" in active service, new tanks, carrier aircraft, fighter groups debut, and unmanned intelligent equipment, anti-drone systems and hypersonic missiles debut!Both the BBC and CNN watched, shouting this is the "high-light moment" of Chinese military technology.Bloomberg also revealed that China may showcase the latest anti-ship missiles and nuclear capabilities ballistic missiles, simply "show muscle" and "carrying" - after all, Pakistan has used Chinese J-10C fighter jets and J-15 missiles to dry up the performance of Indian "Arsenal" fighter jets, has made Chinese weapons burn around the world!Don't get me wrong, this is not a show of force. Hong Lei hit the floor, Ministry of Foreign Affairs: China is the only big country that has written peaceful development into its Constitution. It has never taken the initiative to provoke war, nor has it occupied an inch of other people's land. This military parade shows the confidence of safeguarding sovereignty and world peace, not the ambition of expansion!History clearance, response to the "positive energy" of small actions!Eighty years ago, China and the Soviet Union were the "hard core responsibilities" of the anti-fascist war and paid the price of blood. Nowadays, some countries can't sit still, especially Japan, which spent 6.22 billion yen on "information war" in an attempt to cut War of Resistance against Japan from the anti-fascist war and whitewash its history of aggression. And the result? The leaders of 26 countries all accepted the invitation from China. Cambodia, Vietnam and other ASEAN countries, five Central Asian countries, and even Serbia and Slovakia in Europe all came, slapping Japan in the face! Isn't this "more help when you get the right, but little help when you get the right"?Not to mention that the Chinese side also specially invited 50 descendants of friends from 14 countries including the United States, Britain, and France, such as the descendants of the Flying Tigers, demonstrating China's respect and openness to history. Those noises of "China dominates historical cognition" have long since disappeared in the face of facts!
In the new geopolitical landscape, China's role is becoming more and more critical!
This military parade is not only to commemorate history, but also a "big test" for the rearrangement of the global pattern. China's diplomatic password is hidden in the list: China-Russia and China-DPRK relations are extremely iron, neighbors in Southeast Asia and Central Asia are hugging each other even tighter, and heads of international organizations such as the United Nations and the New Development Bank also come to join in, showing China's appeal on the multilateral stage.
The global security initiative pushed by China is to engage in "common, cooperative, sustainable" security concepts and break the global turmoil.Why does the U.S. West have no current senior officials?It is simple, China's invitation is only sent to "true friends".
History is glorious, and the future is even more promising!
The 93 military parade is an echo of history and a declaration of China's strength. From the heavyweight presence of Putin and Kim Jong-un, to the stunning appearance of cutting-edge weapons, to the firm defense of history and peace, China tells the world with actions: We don't pick things, but we are not afraid of them! In the future, no matter how the international situation changes, China will join hands with other countries to write a more magnificent chapter as a messenger of peace! This big drama has just begun, and the excitement is yet to come!
