Xi, Putin, Kim Jong Un Display United Front Against U.S. at Massive Beijing Military Parade

Beijing, China – President Xi Jinping today presided over China’s largest-ever military parade, a powerful demonstration of advanced weaponry and a striking display of unity with Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The event, ostensibly commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, sent an unmistakable message of defiance against the U.S.-dominated global order, with some Western analysts dubbing the trio an “Axis of Upheaval.”

The spectacle in Beijing showcased China’s latest hypersonic weapons, nuclear-capable missiles, laser systems, and advanced drones. President Xi, standing alongside Putin and Kim, declared his nation “unstoppable” as tens of thousands of troops goose-stepped through Tiananmen Square. This gathering marked the first time Kim Jong Un has appeared publicly with both Xi and Putin, signaling a deepening of ties among nations frequently at odds with Washington.

The military showcase culminates a week of intense diplomatic activity. On Tuesday, Putin hailed “unprecedentedly high relations” with China during talks in Beijing, while an earlier Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit on Monday saw Xi, Putin, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi present a united front, with Xi advocating against “Cold War mentality” and “hegemonism” – thinly veiled references to U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, dismissed the summit as “performative” and accused China and India of fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The parade underscored Beijing’s growing geopolitical influence and its ambition to reshape the international landscape, backed by burgeoning alliances and formidable military strength. The presence of leaders from Iran and Myanmar’s junta further solidified the perception of a burgeoning anti-Western bloc.
