China is set to showcase its military might in a parade commemorating the defeat of Japan in World War Two.
Some 12,000 troops and 200 aircraft, as well as tanks and missiles, will go on display in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
More than 80% of the machinery will be shown in public for the first time, state media said.
China's growing military capabilities will be keenly watched amid geo-political tensions in the region.
President Xi Jinping, who is also commander of the armed forces, will be centre stage at the proceedings along with more than 30 foreign government officials and heads of state.

China’s major contribution the war was to have endless people die and tie up Japanese troops doing it
If it were not for the US China would speak Japanese today

Yeah. China didn’t defeat Japan. They just held on until the USA defeated Japan.

If not for China, Pearl Harbor would have been far more disastrous.
Two mistakes the Japs made: taking over China and opening a front against America.

I don’t want to minimize the Chinese contribution. China lost an incredible number of people to the Japanese invasion but if it were not for the US China would have absorbed into the greater Japanese Empire
