2025 Victory Day parade thread (workup, 3rd Sept)

North Korea probably will attend too

But the Kims have never attended any of China's military parades after the 1950s, so that was why Park's attendance of the 2015 parade was such a big deal.

North Korea probably will attend too

NK attended in 2015 by the 2nd guy, so attendance is almost guaranteed this time. Kim Jong Un's attendance would be something else.

Sino-NK relations remain lukewarm, NK will only send one representative at most, unlikely that Kim will personally attend.

I don't remember Kim Jong Un attended Moscow Victory day parade either, it's just how NK diplomacy works, should not be overthought of. Remeber, Kim Jong IL visited Beijing not Russia just before passing the power to Kim Jong Un. That is what really means, anything else is just superficial.

Beijing recently is very rainy. I checked the forecast. At this point it's looking like full sunshine for September 3. Let's hope it holds up.

If not, they will probably change the weather to fit.

Too many foreign dignitaries that may ask Kim Jong Un questions especially if Western European ones show up. I don't know if they actually sent an invite to Trump after it was reported that China at these Sino/US trade talk meetings where the Chinese just sit there politely letting the US lay out its grievances saying nothing and that's it. After Trump's pathetic military parade, it might be embarrassing to dare to go.
