9/3 Victory Day Parade - China showing its muscle and strength

 All the invitations have been sent and 6 Asean leaders have confirmed attendance. Singapore is still pending, like waiting for approval to attend. Trump is still silent about any invitation, likely is not invited and unable to start crowing that he is going to Beijing. He may be dumb, but by now he should have gotten the message. 没门.

This Victory Parade over Japan in WW2 will see China making a new statement in its foreign policies. By now many observers could have seen a new and more confident China standing up firmly against the Americans, and also firmly defending friends of China against American bullying and threats. What China is doing for Iran, selling weapons needed to defend itself against attacks from the Americans and the Israelis is a big statement without shouting out loud like Trump. Then China came to Brazil's assistance by buying up all coffee shipments rejected by the Americans, giving Brazil a big reprieve and a big push from behind. Yes, Trump can no longer threaten or bully Brazil with China watching its back.

For several decades, China's foreign policies were one of not being seen and not being heard. It followed the guidance of Deng Xiaoping, avoid trouble, do not show your strength, bend your head to the extent of keeping quiet even when beaten. The policies were formulated at a time when China was still very weak and relatively poor, and had served China well in many ways, deceiving the Americans and the West that China was no threat, a weak and poor developing state. The drawbacks were constant bullying by the Americans and the West, including Mickey Mouse little countries thinking that they too could kick China around. Some silly American doggies are still doing it.

In the last few years, Americans and the West were stunned by a more assertive and confident China taking more defying positions in the face of western coercion and threats. China starts to talk back, to say no, and to speak out for countries that were threatened or bullied by the Americans and the West.

The Victory Parade will see China making a big statement. China is going to show to the world how strong militarily is the PLA and how advanced the Chinese weapons systems are. China is not hiding its strength anymore, no more looking like a sick cat. China will parade all its newest and most advanced weapons to the world, especially to the Americans and the West. And many of these weapons are state of the art and out of this world, that the Americans and the West have never seen before, and never had. The Americans would no longer be able to lie about China copying or stealing new technologies that they did not have or heard of.

This show of strength is to tell the Americans and the West to wake up from their silly ideas that they are the best, they have the best of everything. China is showing them how far behind they are to China in military hardware and weapon systems. It is also to tell the Mickey Mouse not to be silly anymore.

The Victory Parade is also a way to assure the invited guests, mostly heads of state of friendly nations, that they can feel safe with China standing side by side with them, have no fear of being bullied by the Americans and the West again.

The Americans and the West want to see a more assertive and aggressive China? The Victory Parade is the answer.
