China banned Japan from participating in the parade

According to Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China has expressed serious dissatisfaction with Japan and issued an official statement. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This situation arose as the military parade planned to be held in Beijing in September 2025 approached. Japan, in turn, called on the international community not to participate in this event.

As Guo Jiakun emphasized during the briefing, China expressed its dissatisfaction with Japan's call and demanded an explanation. He stated that any country that respects history, has learned lessons, and has chosen the path of peace and development would not accept such an approach.

This event is a reminder for China of its historical victory. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory over Japan in World War II in 1945, China plans to hold a large military parade in Beijing on September 3.

According to sources, on August 24, the Japanese government called on European and Asian countries not to participate in the parade in Beijing. Japan explained this decision by China's excessive emphasis on history and the display of a negative attitude towards Japan.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as leaders from Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, are expected to participate in the Chinese parade. At the same time, European Union leaders, especially considering Vladimir Putin's participation, decided to boycott the event.

This situation poses a risk of further increasing tensions in political relations between China and Japan. It may lead to a deterioration of ties between the two countries.
