Theres also something about the PLA goose step style that looks more impressive than those seen in the military parades of all other countries, though I can't quite put my finger on what exactly is the actual difference. The only marching styles that even come close are the more recent DPRK parades and the 1970s/1980s ROC parades. Russian goose step style is visibly different and less synchronized/precise. However, the parade step of Vietnam, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan (as well as a few other ex-Soviet republics) look outwardly very similar to the PLA style but for some reason just doesn't look as quite as mechanically smooth or give off the same overall awe-inspiring impression.
PLA drop the height of foot tiptoe from 30 to 25cm, and the arm stop at chest not shoulder since 1950s.
Vietnam and NK keeps those Russian standards which is not suitable for Asian.
To maintain balance, NK soldiers need to "jump" for each step and Vietnamese have to tilt their heads back, which is very awkward as they are marching forward.

Though NK and Vietnamese both perform the step better than the Russians IMO. I guess both PLA and original ROC step were closer to the Prussian style than Russian/Soviet style?

North Korea and Vietnam's movements are too large, but their physiques can't support them. Furthermore, their training levels are different.

A common complaint in China about PLA military parades is that the range of motion in the goose step is smaller than before the millennium, especially compared to 1984. However, the average height of PLA personnel is increasing, which has in turn led to the PLA's goose step becoming more restrained, even criticized as lacking in momentum, walking with hip twist, no "killing Aura”, etc.

First, it's much better synchronized than other countries' marches. Second, the PLA goose step has a perfect combination of a hard step and a smooth, almost relaxed gait with a low-to-moderate kick height; very aesthetic.

Well we do have alot of Olympic level trainers,choreographers,biomechanical specialists,doctors etc in analyzing/detailing every aspect of the troops goosestep steps and the different races do have subtle but significant differences in their physiques and Chinese are alot bigger/stronger/taller due to alot of good nutrition/healthcare/less overall stress:):):) Loving it !!!!
