September 3rd, 2025, at Tiananmen Square – what an incredible day! A grand military parade once again ignited the pride of hundreds of millions of Chinese people. What truly took my breath away wasn’t just the mighty tanks and fighter jets, but the overwhelming display of unmanned and intelligent equipment that announced a profound transformation in future warfare.
Friends from Around the World: 26 Nations’ Leaders Join the Celebration
This parade wasn’t just a showcase of China’s military might – it was also a beautiful testament to international friendship. Leaders from 26 countries gathered in Beijing to commemorate this historic moment together. From Russian President Putin to numerous leaders from developing nations, their presence truly highlighted China’s important position and influence on the world stage.
The scale and caliber of this international gathering perfectly demonstrated the trust and support that “Global South” countries have for China. It also signals the formation of a new world order. China is embracing the world with an increasingly open and inclusive attitude, working hand in hand with nations everywhere to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
The Future is Here: The Age of Unmanned Warfare
In this parade, an amazing 84% of the equipment made their public debut! The most eye-catching among them were undoubtedly the unmanned combat systems covering land, sea, and air.
On land, the “Robot Wolves” came charging forward. These incredible machines have 360-degree perception capabilities, can autonomously navigate obstacles, and quickly swap power sources. They achieve seamless communication between humans, vehicles, and “wolves” for coordinated combat. They can change batteries in just 30 seconds, climb 40-degree slopes, carry 20kg of supplies, and truly embody “fighting alongside wolves.”
In the sky, “Ghost” drones roared overhead. With their blended wing-body design and special coatings, they can evade radar to the maximum extent while carrying precision-guided bombs for “detect and destroy” missions. Their high-definition real-time image transmission and strong anti-jamming capabilities make them true “aerial assassins.”
Underwater, “Silent Submersibles” moved stealthily. With silent navigation and extreme diving depths, they can break through blockades undetected to execute various underwater missions. The unmanned surface vessels are equally impressive, with stealth coatings that allow them to approach targets for reconnaissance, surveillance, verification, and strike missions.
National Treasures: Intelligent Swords That Shake the World
If unmanned equipment represents the “nerve endings” of warfare, then missile systems are truly the nation’s “anchoring pillars.”
The Dongfeng-5C: Global Strike Capability Like No Other. As a crucial component of our strategic counterattack system, it doesn’t just have global reach – it also features highly intelligent capabilities like image recognition and mid-flight target switching. This is what I call the “ceiling of military technology!” Always ready, effectively deterrent, using strength to maintain peace and stability.
The Dongfeng-61, a mysterious and sharp sword, is unmatched in intelligence. Although official specifications have yet to be disclosed, its true formidability lies in its advanced intelligent capabilities. By utilizing AI algorithms for trajectory adjustment, it makes interception nearly impossible, earning its reputation as a genuine “penetration weapon.”
Furthermore, the debut of the two-seater variant J-20S marks a significant step forward for China in manned-unmanned collaborative operations.
From Flesh and Blood to Steel and Intelligence
Eighty years ago, we defended our homeland with flesh and blood. Eighty years later, we forge shields of peace with steel and intelligence. This parade represents China’s magnificent transformation from “following” to “leading” in military technology, and it’s the resounding footsteps of the Chinese nation marching toward great rejuvenation.
Future warfare won’t be about numbers or firepower – it’ll be about data and intelligence. China is already at the forefront of this new era, showing certain countries what today’s China is truly capable of.
And let’s not forget those absolutely stunning female soldiers! They were the most beautiful sight in this powerful military force – so elegant and cool, perfectly embodying the spirit of Chinese military personnel in the new era.
This parade didn’t just excite us about our national defense achievements – it showed the world the peaceful intentions of a responsible major power. China’s development is truly a blessing for world peace!Wishing for world peace.
You know what? Watching those formations march past, seeing those cutting-edge weapons, and witnessing the respect from international friends – I couldn’t help but feel incredibly proud to be Chinese. From “millet plus rifles” to “Dongfeng Express,” from walls of flesh and blood to fortresses of steel, we’ve come such a long way. And this is just the beginning!
As someone in the packaging machinery industry, seeing today’s advanced intelligent systems—used across defense and manufacturing—was truly eye-opening. This growing wave of smart technology is rapidly transforming how we live and work.
Innovation Is Our Shared Responsibility
This shift is a strong reminder: every industry must align with national progress. In packaging machinery, we have a responsibility to move forward with intelligent manufacturing solutions that replace outdated methods and boost efficiency.
Moreover, embracing smart packaging technology is not just about staying competitive—it’s about playing our part in China’s larger strategy for innovation.
From Made in China to Intelligently Made in China
What we witnessed wasn’t just technological strength. More importantly, it reflected our country’s growing ability to innovate across industries. This momentum is part of the national vision behind Made in China 2025.
Therefore, we must keep evolving. Let’s bring intelligent upgrades to packaging lines, rethink old challenges, and actively support China’s manufacturing transformation.
