Chinese President Xi Jinping stands in a car to review the troops during a military parade in Beijing, September 3, 2025. China kicked off its largest-ever military parade on Wednesday, a show of its growing firepower and geopolitical clout as Xi seeks to cast Beijing as the custodian of a post-U.S. international order.

Flanked by Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, a smiling Xi strolled up a red carpet to take his seat for the lavish event at Tiananmen Square to mark 80 years since Japan’s defeat at the end of World War Two.
