Notably, the Indian Prime Minister was not invited to the event. Observers suggest this exclusion reflects shifting strategic dynamics in the region.
China’s spectacular parade served not only as a remembrance of the sacrifices of the past, but also as a clear signal of current political and strategic realities in Asia.
