China is set to host a massive “Victory Day” parade on September 3, marking 80 years since Japan’s WWII surrender, but this year it doubles as a bold geopolitical statement: Xi Jinping will stand alongside Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other leaders from what analysts are calling an emerging “Axis of Upheaval.” With Western leaders absent, the event highlights a tightening bloc of states defying U.S. and allied influence, while China uses the parade to showcase its modernized military and signal its ambitions to reshape the global order.
