On the morning of September 3, 2025, a grand ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, reviewed the troops.
   26 foreign heads of state and government attended the meeting, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean Workers' Party General Secretary Kim Jong-un, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz, Serbian President Vucic and others.
   The parade, lasting approximately 70 minutes, consisted of two stages: a parade and a march-past. The troops lined up along Chang'an Avenue for inspection. Afterward, the parade passed through Tiananmen Square in the following order: the air flag guard, the foot column, the battle flag column, the equipment column, and the air column.

45 formations demonstrate military strength
   This parade featured 45 formations (columns) showcasing the comprehensive strength of the Chinese military. The Air Flag Guard, comprised of multiple helicopter formations, guarded the flag, formed characters, and displayed banners, proclaiming the great truth that justice will prevail, peace will prevail, and the people will prevail.
   The Battle Flag Formation, representing the honors and sacrifices of those who bravely fought in the flames of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, selected a representative flag from among the countless flags of heroes and meritorious service, and carried it during the parade by officers and soldiers from their respective units.

Weapons and Equipment - China's main active forces debut
   This military parade showcased the latest achievements in China's defense technology. All weapons and equipment on display were domestically produced, active combat equipment, with a high proportion of new equipment making their debut.
   Many of these equipment represent the latest evolution of modern warfare, while some are state-of-the-art equipment, fully demonstrating our military's formidable capability to win modern wars.

The air echelon is eye-catching
   The air echelon is organized in a modular and systematic manner, comprising advanced early warning and command aircraft, fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft.
   These aircraft essentially cover all of the PLA's main combat aircraft currently in service. Many are highly anticipated star equipment, while others are making their public debut, demonstrating the remarkable progress of the PLA's air combat capabilities.

   The core significance of the September 3rd military parade lies in "remembering history, commemorating the martyrs, cherishing peace, and creating the future." It is not only a solemn commemoration of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, but also a demonstration of the Chinese Communist Party's pivotal role in the War of Resistance. It has also become an important platform for the international community to jointly witness history and safeguard the victory of the Second World War and the post-war order.
