On Tiananmen Square, 45 square formations of iron flow with a magnificent momentum, and the new generation of domestically produced heavy equipment makes its debut. The world is watching this peaceful army move from victory to victory.
On the morning of September 3, 2025, a commemorative ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War will be held at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, including a grand military parade lasting about 70 minutes. This is China's third national military parade with the theme of "Victory Day", and it is also the first military parade to comprehensively promote Chinese path to modernization into a new journey.
Heads of state and government from 129 countries across five continents, representatives of international and regional organizations, and over 2500 members of the foreign military observation team gathered in Beijing. 680 million viewers worldwide watched this military parade ceremony synchronously through 5G+8K ultra high definition signals.
Defending historical truth and safeguarding collective memory: The most direct significance of the 9.3 military parade is to commemorate the great victory of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, emphasizing the enormous national sacrifices and historical contributions made by China as the main battlefield in the East to the world's anti fascist war. This is the most powerful response to all acts of denying and distorting the history of aggression.
Declaring the concept of peaceful development: China repeatedly emphasized its commitment to "never seeking hegemony or expansion" through military parades, indicating that the development of the Chinese military is defensive and the ultimate goal is to maintain peace rather than undermine it. General Secretary Xi Jinping's announcement of a reduction of 300000 troops in his military parade speech is a concrete manifestation of this concept.
Shaping the image of a responsible major country: China uses this to demonstrate to the world that it is not only a staunch defender of world peace, but also a constructive participant in the international order. A strong China is a stabilizing force for world peace, not a threat.
