US President Donald Trump has accused Chinese President Xi Jinping of “conspiring” against America alongside Russia and North Korea, while urging Beijing to recognise America’s role in securing China’s freedom during World War II.
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against the United States of America,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, hours before Xi addressed China’s largest military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
The event in Tiananmen Square drew more than 20 foreign leaders, including Putin and Kim, underscoring China’s alignment with authoritarian partners at a time of heightened tensions with the West.
In his speech, Xi declared that the world faces a choice between “peace or war” and “dialogue or confrontation,” pledging to strengthen China’s armed forces to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity — comments widely seen as a veiled reference to Taiwan.
The parade featured columns of goose-stepping soldiers, squadrons of fighter jets, and advanced missile systems rumbling across the square, highlighting China’s expanding military capabilities. The display also sought to project Beijing’s growing influence across Asia, with eight Southeast Asian leaders in attendance, though Western leaders were largely absent.
Kim’s surprise participation pointed to warming ties between Pyongyang and Beijing, even as North Korea reportedly deploys troops to Russia in support of the Ukraine war. Analysts said China’s decision to host Kim reflects its intent to keep him close amid growing military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
