SCMP: China’s National Day parade to showcase advances in nuclear deterrence
* Military experts say PLA modernisation brought about during Xi Jinping’s presidency will be the main focus of October 1 celebration in Beijing
* It’s necessary for China to ‘show some of its muscle’ amid the trade dispute with the US, observer says
China plans to show off its most advanced active weapon systems at the upcoming National Day parade, which will be the biggest of the 14 such events it has held over the past seven decades.
The parade, to be held on October 1 to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic, will highlight the military modernisation – particularly in nuclear deterrence – that has taken place since President Xi Jinping

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) offered a glimpse of those weapons during rehearsals for the parade in downtown Beijing from September 14.

INF Treaty died because Russia chose not to abide by it and the US chose to respond to China's overwhelming number of missiles banned, to the USA, by the INF Treaty. In short it was doomed once China showed no restraints.
Strategic arms limitations are also doomed since China continues showing no restraint on its buildup. The MIRV restrictions are particularly troublesome once hypersonic flying warheads are introduced widely to China's ICBM's.
