China has shown not only its military power to the world in Beijing, but also the growing diplomatic impact, the Canadian newspaper "The Globe and Mail" reports.
"China's leader C. Jinti watched the mass parade of Chinese military forces on Wednesday, which marked the 80th anniversary of the World War II, the newspaper writes.
The newspaper noted that the parade was presented with advanced Chinese weapons, including advanced missile systems, tanks and planes, which were produced by their own military-industrial complex. In this way, The Globe and Mail continues, China aims to "become the most advanced combat force in the world."
The publication emphasizes that more than 20 world leaders took part in the parade, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and the leader of North Korea Kim Kim NO.
