TOKYO -- Beijing flexed its muscles on Oct. 1 with one of the country's biggest-ever military parades to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic of China.
The array of new weaponry showcased in the extravaganza reflects China's "war plan," which is aimed at realizing the military annexation of Taiwan by 2049 -- the centennial of Communist Party rule -- while preventing intervention by the U.S.
