Chinese state media announced a military parade that would be held at Tiananmen Square on September 3.
Military expert Zhang Junshe told Huanqiu Times that the parade will clearly showcase the new structural layout of China’s military services and arms. This structure includes the Army, Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, as well as the newly organized Space Force, Cyberspace Force, Information Support Force, and Joint Logistics Support Force, all under the direct leadership of the Central Military Commission (CMC). Zhang noted that this means the Information Support Force, Space Force, and Cyberspace Force will make their first public appearance in a military parade.
The parade will also present the modernized image of China’s “three-pronged” armed forces, which consist of the PLA, the Chinese People’s Armed Police Force, and the militia.
Another highlight of the parade will be the equipment formations showcasing the PLA’s latest advancements. These will include new combat forces featuring unmanned intelligent systems, underwater warfare equipment, cyber warfare tools, and hypersonic weapons.
