China held a grand gathering in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square on Wednesday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
President Xi Jinping delivered a speech and oversaw a military parade which proceeded in two steps: a military review by Xi and a march-past of troops.
A total of 61 foreign heads of state and government, high-level representatives of relevant countries, heads of international organizations and former political dignitaries were present at the commemorative event.
Before the beginning of the gathering, Xi ascended the Tian'anmen rostrum and shook hands with war veterans attending the event.

Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
Back in June, I watched the parades in London on the occasion of the 80th Aniversary of VE Day ... Victory in Europe in 1945.
Today I have been watching the parade in Beijing remembering the Victory over Japan later in the same year.
The parade in London, was very British ... not surprising! The parade in Beijing was different ... very Chinese ... again not surprising.
These two parades were very different ... but both were very effective.
The London parade had a very strong 'story line' ... and for someone like me was very effective.
The Beijing parade had a very different story line. In a simplistic way, I see the Chinese parade of a modest reminder that China had a win in WWII, together with a strong message that modern China now has the strength to be a dominent world power right now and even more into the future.
To put the Chinese parade in perspective ... I would describe the Chines parade as being more than a thousand times more impressive than the feeble military parade Trump organized in Washington on July 3rd for the 200th anniverary of the US Military and his own birthday!
In relation to the British parade ... the Chines parade was different. Bot sere ... in my view ... excellent parades. The British parade was more rememberance and respect for past sacrifice. The Chinese parade had the message tht China now had huge scale and competence and cannot be ignored and sidelined without dire consequences.
