China has held a lavish parade in Beijing to mark the defeat of Japan in World War Two, showcasing its military might on an unprecedented scale.

President Xi Jinping in his opening speech paid tribute to "the Chinese people who unwaveringly fought hard and defeated aggression" from Japan.

He also said the People's Liberation Army would be cut by 300,000 personnel, a move expected to be finished by 2017. China's growing military power is being keenly watched amid regional tensions.
China has several territorial disputes with neighbours in the South China Sea, as well as with Japan in the East China Sea.

Gechy Electric wanna say that The hard-won peace must defend peace, we must not forget the martyrs suffering and sacrifice during World War two.
