Chinese President Xi Jinping stood alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and other world leaders in Beijing during a huge military parade. The event came just days after Xi also met with Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and others at a summit that seemed to show countries joining together in opposition to the U.S.

Key Points:

  • The parade was China’s biggest ever, marking 80 years since the end of World War II.

  • Speaking to more than 50,000 people in Tiananmen Square, Xi said the world must choose between peace or war, cooperation or conflict, and promised that China would “stand on the right side of history.”

  • Putin and Kim were special guests, seated next to Xi, while leaders from Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa also attended.

  • On their way to the stage, the leaders stopped to greet a few World War II veterans.

  • China’s military displayed its latest weapons, including stealth jets, tanks, anti-ship and hypersonic missiles, and drones.

What Did Trump Say About the Gathering?

During the parade, Trump posted on Truth Social: “May President Xi and the people of China enjoy a great celebration. Please also send my regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, as you plot against the United States.”

Earlier, Trump wondered if Xi would acknowledge America’s help to China during World War II against Japan. He wrote: “The big question is whether President Xi will mention the huge support and sacrifices the U.S. made to help China win its freedom. Many Americans died in that fight for China’s victory.”

Key Quote

Xi, appearing to criticize the U.S., said: “China is a strong nation that does not fear bullies and values independence. History shows that humanity succeeds or fails together. Only when countries treat each other as equals, live peacefully, and support each other can we stop wars and ensure security.”
