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. 🎯
💡 Why it matters: This anniversary highlights China’s role in defeating fascism during WWII. The grand gathering will feature a military parade – a symbolic showcase of national unity and historical remembrance. Tanks, troops, and aircraft are expected to dazzle spectators under Beijing’s autumn skies. ✈️🪖
With less than two weeks to go, all eyes are on Tian’anmen Square – a site steeped in modern Chinese history. Will this year’s event blend tradition with 21st-century tech? Stay tuned! 📅
