"Leaders from countries united in their opposition to the west will gather in Beijing this week in a show of support for China's president, Xi Jinping, at a second world war commemoration parade designed to show off China's military strength and geopolitical might. Described by western analysts as the axis of upheaval, the military, economic and political collaboration between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea has been on display on the battlefield in Ukraine and in the Middle East this year."
"The tightly choreographed military parade through Beijing's Tiananmen Square to commemorate 80 years since the defeat of Japan in the second world war referred to in China as the war of resistance against Japanese aggression will be attended by 26 heads of state. As well as Russia, North Korea and Iran, leaders from Myanmar, Mongolia, Indonesia, Zimbabwe and central Asian countries will witness China's unveiling of a range of combat-ready weaponry."
