soldiers representing the modernization
power of its Army. It was the most
crowded ceremony of recent times.
Just like the Victory Day ceremony in
Moscow, leaders of Western powers
and Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
did not participate in China’s show of
military strength. In reply to Chinese
Army which attended the World War
II victory celebrations of the Russian
Army in Red Square; Russian President
Vladimir Putin was present in Beijing
together with United Nations Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon. For the first time,
China displayed 84% of its most modern
weapons-equipment in its inventory
during this huge military parade which
reminds the arms race before the World
War II. Well, who stands in the firing
line? Most importantly, an anti-Western
alliance is being formed by Russia and
China, or does it mean that Russia
keeps a close watch on China? In terms
of international relations, it seems that
China’s historic show of military power
will actually continue to have a deep
impact on USA-EU-China-Russia-Japan
strategic relations as well as the tension
in Syria and Ukraine crises.
RUSSIAN FACTOR AGAINST US-JAPAN
ALLIANCE
This military parade, for which China
spent months to get prepared, can be regarded
as a crucial turning point in history.
China previously had bad relations
with the West and Japan and it was suppressed
by the Boxer Rebellion. With
this official ceremony, China announced
that it left this status behind and became
a new and different super power in the
world. But what was the driving force
-the security concern- behind Beijing’s
decision to take so many soldiers out
of their military posts? Why did people
watch anti-Japan broadcasts? Beijing
asker, yakın zamanların en kalabalık törenine
katıldı. Moskova’da kutlanan Zafer
Günü töreninde olduğu gibi Çin’in askeri
gövde gösterisine Batılı ülkelerin liderleri
ve Japonya Başbakanı Şinzo Abe katılmadı.

Boxer Rebellion or Boxer Movement was
an uprising against the West’s economic
and political influence on China in the
19 th century. The aim was to take all foreigners
out of the country. It started in
November 1899 and ended on September
7, 1901. Thousands of rebels, foreigners
and low-class Chinese people lost their
lives during the uprising and while repressing
the events.
