As China prepares to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, rare footage from a Beijing training base reveals the meticulous preparations underway for this year's military parade.
Over 10,000 participants are reportedly engaged in precision drills at the secured facility, where soldiers train up to 12 hours daily to perfect synchronized movements. CGTN's Zhao Yunfei observed specialized equipment being used to maintain straight lines and consistent marching heights, with digital monitoring systems tracking every detail.
The parade will feature historical military uniforms alongside modern defense technology, creating what organizers describe as "a living timeline" of China's development. Veterans' families and international representatives are expected to attend the September event, which coincides with similar commemorations across Asia.
While the display emphasizes China's commitment to peace, analysts note its significance in demonstrating military modernization efforts. The event also serves as a diplomatic platform, with invitations extended to representatives from over 50 countries and regions.
