Wall Street Journal: China Reveals Guest List for Big Military Parade
Many Western nations have been reluctant to send leaders or troops
China released the guest list for its World War II Victory Day parade, providing a snapshot of its growing clout in many parts of the world while showing the strains the event is placing on relations with the U.S. and its allies.
The military parade through Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Sept. 3 marks the first time China is commemorating the allied victory with such a high-profile event. Top leaders from 30 countries, including Russia, Venezuela and Sudan, will attend, and 17 countries will contribute troops to the spectacle, senior Chinese officials told a news conference Tuesday.
