A large-scale military parade was held in Beijing. What the media is writing
On September 3, China hosted a major military parade dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II after the surrender of Japan. A march with the participation of the nuclear triad took place in Tiananmen Square. US President Donald Trump has accused China, Russia and North Korea of allegedly plotting against Washington. What the world media write about the Chinese military march is in the Izvestia digest.
CNN: Trump makes American enemies great
US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction on social media against the background of the meeting of the leaders of China, Russia and North Korea Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un at a military parade in Beijing. He asked Xi Jinping to send greetings to the Russian president and Kim Jong-un, accusing them all of conspiring against the United States of America.

The big celebration in China is taking place at a tense international moment. The Asian superpower is seeking to capitalize on Trump's erratic foreign policy, which has destroyed America's reputation as a reliable great power.
The gathering of anti—Western powers in Tianjin and Beijing is more than trolling the United States. This is a warning that Trump's second-term policy may be a failure. Tariffs, bullying of developing powers, and the slogan "America first" may not pay off.

China showed off its military forces at a huge military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, featuring the latest generation of fighter jets, tanks and ballistic missiles against a backdrop of well-coordinated thousands of personnel.

When Xi Jinping spoke about China's victory over "Japanese aggression" in the "global anti-fascist war," he thanked foreign governments for their help. Xi Jinping did not mention the United States, despite the country's important role in ending World War II. The Chinese leader said that the lessons of the war are more relevant now than ever.
China's most advanced weapons were demonstrated at the parade, including next-generation hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, early warning aircraft, and aircraft jamming systems. Long-range intercontinental missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads also stood out prominently at the parade. 50,000 people watched the military marching in unison.
Reuters: Xi Jinping has demonstrated his strength
Chinese President Xi Jinping said at a large-scale military parade in Beijing that countries are faced with a choice between peace and war. The unprecedented strength of the PRC was demonstrated at the parade. The event, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Japan's defeat at the end of World War II, was ignored by almost all Western leaders, and Putin and Kim, those whom the West wanted to isolate, were honored guests.

Trump had previously told reporters that he did not consider the parade a challenge to the United States. The Japanese government's press service declined to comment on the parade, noting that the two strong Asian economies are building "constructive relations."
Democratically governed Taiwan, which China considers its territory, has urged its citizens not to attend the parade. Taipei warned that the presence of Taiwanese at the event could strengthen Beijing's territorial claims. Taiwan did not hold a military parade in honor of the victory.

The 90-minute event, ostensibly dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, was a chance for Xi Jinping to organize an extravaganza. He demonstrated China's military might and gathered friendly leaders to deliver a message to the rest of the world.
The event was the culmination of a tumultuous week for Xi, who hosted a host of Eurasian leaders at a summit in the northern port city of Tianjin. All these days were aimed at putting China at the forefront of relations between the countries of the region.
Anadolu: China has introduced a land, sea and air nuclear triad for the first time
The parade featured China's complete nuclear triad, including the JingLei-1 long-range air missile, the JuLang-3 submarine-launched intercontinental missile, the DongFeng-61 land-based intercontinental missile, and the new type of DongFeng-31 land-based intercontinental missile.

It is a strategic weapon for China, which plays a key role in protecting the sovereignty and security of the nation. The introduction of the nuclear triad marks an important step in how China demonstrates its capabilities in retaliatory strikes from land, sea and air.
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), China's nuclear arsenal has grown faster than any other country. It has reached approximately 600 warheads by the beginning of 2025. At the same time, the pace is also quite fast — starting in 2023, nuclear weapons stocks are increasing by about 100 warheads per year.
