China Is About to Show Off Its New High-Tech Weapons to the World


On September 3, China will hold a “Victory Day” military parade in Tiananmen Square to celebrate the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan—and to send the West a message.

The Russian president's presence is reported to have prompted several European ambassadors to consider defecting from the event, fearing it would contribute to the Kremlin's international legitimization amid the ongoing war against Ukraine. The official theme is the celebration of peace and international justice, but the real content will be the demonstration of the People's Liberation Army's ability to fight high-tech wars in new strategic domains: cyberspace, outer space, electronic and hypersonic warfare. China is developing and deploying a new generation of advanced mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), designed to ensure the survival of the nuclear deterrence force in the event of a preemptive strike.
