China hosts military parade with anti-west leaders to showcase strength and commemorate WWII victory, signalling rising geopolitical influence
– Leaders from Russia, Iran, and North Korea will attend Beijing’s military parade marking Japan’s WWII defeat.
– The event will showcase China’s military strength and support for President Xi Jinping amid Western influence.
Leaders from Russia, Iran, and North Korea will attend a military parade in Beijing this week, commemorating 80 years since the defeat of Japan in the Second World War. According to The Guardian, the event will showcase China’s military strength as an alternative to the Western-led global order.
The parade will feature leaders from 26 states and is seen as a demonstration of international support for President Xi Jinping. Analysts describe the gathering as an expression of the so-called “axis of upheaval,” with a focus on countering Western influence.
Military Showcase
The showcase aims to compare Chinese military capabilities with those of the US. Recent months have highlighted China’s narrative surrounding World War II, which diminishes Western contributions and emphasises its own role against Japanese aggression. Analysts expect to see advancements in Chinese military technology, particularly fighter jets relevant to potential conflicts in Taiwan. With the desire for self-sufficiency in military production, China aims to rely less on foreign technologies, including Russian engines.

Trump gives Hamas ultimatum for Gaza peace plan acceptance
Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region
Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.
A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.
The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.
Pressure Mounts
Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.
Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
