China’s Military Parade: Diplomacy and Defence on Showcase | Putin, Kim Jong Un to Attend | Vantage

China is putting on a show of diplomacy and dominance. As the largest-ever Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit unfolds in Tianjin, China is ramping up both security and symbolism. Military trucks line the streets, traffic is restricted, and the world's attention is now firmly fixed on what's next: a massive military parade in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. This parade — scheduled for September 3rd — will mark 80 years since the end of World War II, but it's about more than just history. It’s about sending a clear, calculated message to the world- about China’s growing military power, its ambitions, and its global standing.
