'Guam killers' to ‘robot dogs’: These deadly Chinese weapons send chills down west’s spine?

Tanks, missiles, drones, and hypersonic weapons. China’s 80th Victory Day Parade wasn’t just about remembering the past, it was about signaling the future. President Xi Jinping opened the event with talk of peace and “shared humanity,” but what followed was a chilling display of military power. From the Type 99B tanks to the “aircraft carrier killer” DF-26D missile, from AI-powered drones to the debut of China’s full nuclear triad. For allies, it was a shop window of cutting-edge weapons. For rivals, a warning shot. With aspirations to rival the U.S. military by 2049, the People’s Liberation Army is transforming at breakneck speed. But the real question is: is this parade a promise of peace, or a rehearsal for war? In this episode of Grey Zone, we decode the message behind China’s biggest-ever military parade, and what it means for the global balance of power.
