China Media Group (CMG) on Friday unveiled its list of the top 10 military news stories of 2025, and at the very top was a spectacular event that brought tens of thousands of people to the streets of Beijing. 🎉
1. Massive Parade Marks 80th Anniversary of WWII Victory
On December 20, the Chinese mainland hosted an impressive military parade to honor the 80th anniversary of the Second World War victory. Columns of tanks, rows of drones, jets soaring overhead, and hundreds of soldiers in precise formation reminded everyone of the sacrifices made by earlier generations. ✈️🪖🚁
The streets near Tiananmen Square were flooded with spectators waving flags and cheering as historical and modern military equipment rolled by. The parade wasn’t just a display of firepower—it was also a message of national pride and a tribute to peace.
CMG highlighted this event as the year’s most significant military story, emphasizing its scale and the unity it inspired across the country. Even among our community of students, entrepreneurs, and travelers, this parade sparked conversations about history, defense technology, and the importance of remembering the past to build a brighter future.
