What new weapons on show at huge parade say about China's military strength

China is leaping forward at an alarming rate.

China has unveiled a range of new weapons, drones and other military hardware in a massive parade that many see as a clear message to the United States and its allies.

The event saw Xi Jinping host more than 20 foreign heads of state, including Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un, both of whom rely on China for economic support and more.

It was a display of Xi's growing power on the world stage, and of China's military prowess - the show included the "Guam killer" missile, the "loyal wingman" drone and even robotic wolves.

about how the parade and show of weapons by China that demonstrate how paltry and pathetic Trump's was will have an impact on Trump. Will we witness the typical narcissistic ego collapse? It could be dangerous if Trump thinks that he needs to do something "grand" to regain his emotional equilibrium
