China to Showcase Military Might in Beijing Parade

China is holding a big military parade in Beijing to celebrate the end of World War II.

President Xi Jinping wants to show off China's power and its vision for the world.

Leaders from other countries like Russia and North Korea will be there.

It's a chance for China to present an alternative view of history.

The event will showcase new weapons and equipment, but some Chinese citizens hope the money spent could go towards improving their lives.

Security is tight, with many volunteers monitoring for potential issues.
