China showcased advanced military technology, including missiles, drones, and AI-powered weaponry, in a massive parade. This display, attended by several world leaders, signals China's growing military strength and its ambition to rival the US. Experts note China's rapid production capabilities but question its ability to effectively integrate these new systems. While China is catching up technologically, the US still holds an operational advantage due to its decentralized command structure. The parade also served as a demonstration of Chinese military prowess and a sales pitch for its weaponry to other nations.
