The leaders of China, Russia and North Korea have come together to mark the end of World War II, prompting a bitter rebuke from President Donald Trump who suggested they are 'conspiring against the United States of America.'
Chinese leader Xi Jinping hosted the military parade to mark 80 years since the war, showcasing some of China's high grade weapons - including a laser which experts fear could burn out electronics or even blind pilots.
His guests included Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who arrived earlier at the historic Tiananmen Gate to watch the parade.
Putin and Kim put on a display of unity with Xi as they flanked him to make their way onto a viewing platform overlooking the Tiananmen Square. They paused to shake hands with five WWII veterans, some older than 100.
Trump slammed the gathering in a Truth Social post on Tuesday night, asking Xi to 'please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.'
