China’s September display marking 80th anniversary of end of WWII will be a statement, as well as a show, observers say
The event, to be held on September 3, will mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. It will feature the latest and most advanced weapons of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and a speech by Chinese President Xi Jinping that is expected to hint at China’s foreign policy and the future direction of the country’s military.
While Taiwan will not be the theme of the event, Beijing has already started telegraphing messages towards the self-ruled island.
The PLA is expected to showcase advanced weapons, including its latest fifth-generation fighter jet, intercontinental ballistic missiles and cutting-edge uncrewed equipment, much of which was commissioned with the Taiwan conflict scenario in mind.
