China denies ‘flexing muscles’ in military parade
Beijing denied yesterday that a huge military parade planned for China’s 70th anniversary was a sign of the country “flexing its muscles”.
The country is ramping up preparations for a week’s holiday from October 1, marking the day the Chinese Communist Party seized control and established the People’s Republic of China.
At a press conference in Beijing, a defence ministry spokesman unveiled more details about the upcoming parade and said that the strength of the Chinese military was a chance to provide “more positive energy” for world peace.
