Discover the main weapons displayed at China’s military parade

The Chinese military parade led by Xi Jinping in Beijing was a show of strength. In front of thousands of spectators and a crowd of allied leaders, China displayed its military technology in a spectacle combining nationalism, military might, and a clear geopolitical message. Among the guests were key figures in the international scene like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, marking the first time the three leaders appeared together at a public event. Alongside European allies close to Russia such as Serbia, Slovakia, and Belarus, the display conveyed a message of unity among countries advocating for an alternative world order to the US-led system. However, at the heart of the stage were the weapons: air defense lasers, stealth fighters, nuclear-capable bombers, anti-ship missiles, new submarines drones, and the latest Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile.
