‘Setting sun': Chinese media contrasts US pageantry and violence on Trump's parade day
Donald Trump's first large-scale military parade in decades has prompted Chinese commentators to compare and mock the contrast between the US president's pageantry and the nationwide unrest sparked by his immigration policies. The festivities in Washington on Saturday occurred on a day marked by protests around the nation that underscored the country's deep divisions. In China, some state media and online commentators declared Trump's 'America First' policy a failure in light of the mass demonstrations and law enforcement response, and said it reflected the United States' 'uncertain future'. 02:01 US holds first major military parade after 34 years to honour army's 250th anniversary US holds first major military parade after 34 years to honour army's 250th anniversary 'The parade reflects [Trump's] urgency to proclaim that 'America is great again' … Yet, no matter how it's staged, it only reinforces the sense that the halo of the United States is fading, and its deep-rooted institutional problems remain unresolved,' wrote the Beijing Daily, a state-affiliated publication. 'Instead, it evokes deja vu of 'the setting sun's afterglow' and 'a past that cannot be reclaimed'.' China News, another state-run outlet, added that the day symbolised how 'democracy is struggling in the mud'. 'On this day, there are celebrations and protests … In 2025, the United States is moving towards an uncertain tomorrow – amid gunfire and slogans,' it wrote. The three-hour parade in Washington, staged in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the US Army and coinciding with Trump's birthday, featured soldiers marching while wearing a selection of uniforms dating back to the Revolutionary war, as well as displays of modern hardware and weaponry used in nearly every major US conflict since World War II. Trump used the occasion to deliver a fiery speech that vowed that the US military would always protect American interests.

‘Nothing new': US Army parade holds no surprises for Chinese military minds
The US Army's parade through Washington on Saturday offered no surprises, Chinese military observers said, while cautioning that the full force of American power was not on show. The parade for the US Army's 250th anniversary showcased a range of American equipment, including Abrams tanks, Paladin artillery, robot dogs, reconnaissance drones, AH-64 Apache helicopters and Joint Light Tactical Vehicles. Most of the technology is well known, with machinery such as the Abrams tanks deployed widely in conflicts ranging from the Middle East to Ukraine. The US equipment also has well-established Chinese equivalents, such as China's Z-20 helicopter , which is considered comparable to America's Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. The Z-20 has advanced fly-by-wire controls, a five-blade main rotor for improved lift and range, powerful domestic engines and enhanced defensive systems. Less is known about newer equipment such as the drones and robot dogs, and the roles those weapons would play in a conflict Song Zhongping, a military commentator and former People's Liberation Army (PLA) instructor, said that many of the US Army's weapons were developed well before their Chinese counterparts, and although there had been upgrades in recent years, there were 'some shortcomings to a certain extent' in the American equipment.

US holds first major military parade after 34 years to honour army's 250th anniversary
The United States held the first major military parade after 34 years to honour the 250th anniversary of the US army. The parade also fell on the same day of US President Donald Trump's birthday, as well as the national flag day. Over 6,000 soldiers marched in the parade, along with a showcase of tanks, aircrafts and military technologies. More than 2,000 'No Kings' protests were organised across the US on the same day. The 'No Kings' theme reflects outrage against the stances of the Trump administration, comparing the president's action to that of a king instead of an elected president.
