Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un joined Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on September 3 for a large-scale military parade marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.
While no American officials attended, U.S. President Donald Trump reacted on Truth Social, writing: "Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America."
The event marked the first public appearance of Putin, Kim, and Xi together—highlighting deepening ties among the three countries and reduced geopolitical isolation of both the Russian and North Korean leaders.
Addressing a crowd of more than 50,000 people at the military parade, Xi said: "Today, mankind is faced with the choice of peace or war, dialogue or confrontation, win-win or zero-sum," adding that the Chinese people "stand on the right side of history."
The parade came just days after the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit, which brought together Xi, Putin, Kim, and other world leaders, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Taken together, both the military parade and the SCO summit are seemingly designed to project China's power on the global stage and Xi's vision of a post-U.S.-led international order — especially amid rising tensions with the United States over trade and security.
