Millions of Chinese people were killed during a prolonged war with imperial Japan in the 1930s and 40s, which became part of a global conflict following Tokyo’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. In historic scenes, Chinese President Xi Jinping was pictured walking down a red carpet alongside North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin towards Tiananmen Square ahead of the 70 minute parade. It’s the first time the trio have appeared together at the same event.
