Chinese social media users mock Trump’s June parade after Xi’s show of power on V-Day

As China hosts its massive Victory Parade, social media users are taking aim at the U.S. President Trump. Chinese netizens are comparing Beijing’s show of military might, with its latest hardware, laser weapons, and undersea drones, to Trump’s June parade in Washington D.C. The June parade celebrated 250 years of the U.S. Army with tanks, vintage equipment, and pageantry. While both superpowers flaunt advanced forces, analysts say the events are markedly different: China’s display signals Xi Jinping’s vision for global power, while Trump’s parade leant toward historic spectacle.
