China is set to showcase its military advancements for the first time at a large military parade, commemorating the 80th anniversary of its victory against Japanese aggression in World War II. The event, attended by 26 foreign leaders, including from India’s neighborhood, aims to project China’s growing military capabilities, featuring modern fighter jets, missiles, and electronic warfare systems. This display serves as a strategic signal to the U.S. and its allies amid rising geopolitical tensions. India should closely monitor these developments, as China’s military modernization directly impacts regional security dynamics and necessitates a robust response from Indian defense strategies.
