On September 3rd， in honor of the Chinese who perished and those who contributed to the victory in the deadly conflict with Japan， China held a military parade in Beijing. The parade was a tribute to history and a call for peace. President Xi Jinping paid high tribute to all the veterans， comrades， patriots and officers in China who took part in the War of Resistance and all the Chinese at home and abroad who contributed significantly to the victory of the War. In his speech， President Xi announced the disarmament of 300，000， which was beyond the expectations of most western media. This action shows the world that China will never seek hegemony but will instead protect the peace of the country and the world. Previously， some western media hype has said that Chinas parade is to‘protest ‘show muscles. However， the recent disarmament is a slap in the face. China currently has about 2.3 million troops. On the scale of 2，300，000 to 300，000， the development of Chinas weapons and equipment are all related. In addition， the Chinese military is also preparing to reform the Existing System. The reduction will focus on units with outdated equipment and non- combat personnels and will essentially be completed by the end of 2017. There will be no obvious reduction in defense budget after the troop cuts， since the military will need money to upgrade its weapons， increase salaries for its personnel and offer allowances to those made redundant. When asked if the money saved from troop reduction would be used to develop nuclear， cyberspace， or space power， a relevant official said that China will stick to its defensive nuclear strategy and peaceful exploitation of the space. As for cyber-attacks， the official said China is the biggest victim and faces grim threats in the security of cyber infrastructure. He said， “Our strategic intention in this aspect is transparent.” It has been pointed out that since the number of Army posts is to be reduced， the level of weapons and equipment must be improved in order to ensure the defense capacity. In 1985， China decided to reduce the number of troops to approximately 1，000，000. This is the eighth major disarmament after the founding of new China， but it is the first time since the reform and opening up of Chinas first large-scale reduction of the army.endprint
