In Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, Xi Jinping declared that humanity now faces a decisive choice between “peace or war,” underscoring the significance of the moment. Flanked by Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, Xi showcased Beijing’s biggest-ever military display, featuring advanced weapons from hypersonic missiles to underwater drones. The event, organized as a rebuke to Western alliances, attracted leaders from Iran and other Global South nations but drew little Western attendance. The spectacle signaled China’s intent to reshape the global order on its terms. Analysts interpret the parade as both a show of strength and a diplomatic statement against U.S.–led influence.
