Echoes of Dissent: Protests in China

In this week’s episode of China Insider, Miles Yu breaks down last week’s eightieth anniversary celebrations for victory in WWII and the PLA military parade held in Beijing. The first part of the discussion focuses on the politics, dialogue between foreign leaders in attendance, and international community response to the parade; the second focuses on the content of the parade, including the advanced weapons showcase, and the PLA's modernization efforts; and finally, Miles comments on the anti-CCP demonstration in Chongqing, and the significance of this protest within the context of the anniversary celebrations.
