Beijing’s iconic Tian’anmen Square transformed into a stage of precision this weekend as China conducted its final comprehensive rehearsal for the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. 🌍✊
The 12-hour drill, running from Saturday evening to early Sunday, tested every element of the upcoming September 3 event – from military coordination to crowd management. Organizers called it a ‘full-process’ simulation, ensuring seamless transitions between segments. 🎯
