Though there was a dearth of high-level Western leaders at the parade because of China's power-grabbing attempts in the South China Sea, numerous senior politicians did attend including Russian President Vladimir Putin and South Korean President Park Geun-hye. But more than sending a political message, the parade provides an important look into the national and military character of the most populous country in the world.
On full display in China's parade were domestically produced tanks, drones, ballistic missiles, and more.
