For the first time, China showcased its nuclear triad \u2013 land, sea and air-based strategic forces \u2013 signaling its readiness to defend sovereignty and secure economic and political interests at home, in the region, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts noted that the parade was \u201cmore than a simple show of military know-how.\u201d Carlotta Rinaudo, a China specialist at the International Team for the Study of Security Verona, said it reflects Beijing\u2019s determination to assert itself as the leading voice of the Global South and a counterweight to Western-dominated power structures.<\/p>\n<p>The commemoration also sought to rewrite war literature by highlighting Asia\u2019s overlooked role in defeating fascism during World War II. Frans-Paul van der Putten of the Clingendael Institute observed that Western accounts have long downplayed China\u2019s sacrifices in breaking Japan\u2019s war machine. Xi Jinping, recalling his May visit to Russia, underscored that \u201cChina and Russia were the main theatres of the Second World War in Asia and in Europe,\u201d paying tribute to Moscow\u2019s \u201cgenerous\u201d support during China\u2019s struggle against Japanese colonial aggression.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 20 world leaders attending, the parade reinforced China\u2019s strategic partnerships. Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif joined President Xi at the ceremony, symbolizing Islamabad\u2019s alignment with Beijing\u2019s vision. In their meeting, Xi stressed that \u201cas global changes unseen in a century unfold at a quicker pace, a strong China-Pakistan relationship is conducive to safeguarding regional peace and development.\u201d Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to accelerating a \u201cChina-Pakistan community with a shared future,\u201d setting what Xi described as a model for the broader neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Observers say the day\u2019s events underscored China\u2019s dual message: honoring Asia\u2019s historic resistance against colonialism and fascism, while asserting modern China\u2019s resolve to defend sovereignty and lead a reshaped international order beyond Western dominance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing: China on Wednesday staged its largest-ever military parade to mark 80 years of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, with President Xi Jinping using the occasion to position Beijing as the \u201cpillar of an alternative world order\u201d for the Global South.
