Military Parade in Beijing

I personally think that this parade is just another excuse to muscle their military power.

High-level officials in China probably wanted to flaunt arms and soldiers and they succeeded in that aspect. People on the globe recognized their ability to wage a war and accept the fact that China can confront the US which has the greatest armed force in the world. However, Chinese people suffered a lot in preparation for this parade. Some of them were locked in their apartments or others had to shut down their factories to prevent noises. Of course, they lost lots of money.

I am not Chinese and do not care about their pride in a victory against wartime Japan, but I have a doubt that Chinese people would agree to the way this whole event operates.
