soldiers representing the modernization<br />
power of its Army. It was the most<br />
crowded ceremony of recent times.<br />
Just like the Victory Day ceremony in<br />
Moscow, leaders of Western powers<br />
and Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe<br />
did not participate in China’s show of<br />
military strength. In reply to Chinese<br />
Army which attended the World War<br />
II victory celebrations of the Russian<br />
Army in Red Square; Russian President<br />
Vladimir Putin was present in Beijing<br />
together with United Nations Secretary<br />
General Ban Ki-moon. For the first time,<br />
China displayed 84% of its most modern<br />
weapons-equipment in its inventory<br />
during this huge military parade which<br />
reminds the arms race before the World<br />
War II. Well, who stands in the firing<br />
line? Most importantly, an anti-Western<br />
alliance is being formed by Russia and<br />
China, or does it mean that Russia<br />
keeps a close watch on China? In terms<br />
of international relations, it seems that<br />
China’s historic show of military power<br />
will actually continue to have a deep<br />
impact on USA-EU-China-Russia-Japan<br />
strategic relations as well as the tension<br />
in Syria and Ukraine crises.<br />
RUSSIAN FACTOR AGAINST US-JAPAN<br />
ALLIANCE<br />
This military parade, for which China<br />
spent months to get prepared, can be regarded<br />
as a crucial turning point in history.<br />
China previously had bad relations<br />
with the West and Japan and it was suppressed<br />
by the Boxer Rebellion. With<br />
this official ceremony, China announced<br />
that it left this status behind and became<br />
a new and different super power in the<br />
world. But what was the driving force<br />
-the security concern- behind Beijing’s<br />
decision to take so many soldiers out<br />
of their military posts? Why did people<br />
watch anti-Japan broadcasts? Beijing<br />
asker, yakın zamanların en kalabalık törenine<br />
katıldı. Moskova’da kutlanan Zafer<br />
Günü töreninde olduğu gibi Çin’in askeri<br />
gövde gösterisine Batılı ülkelerin liderleri<br />
ve Japonya Başbakanı Şinzo Abe katılmadı.<br />

Boxer Rebellion or Boxer Movement was<br />
an uprising against the West’s economic<br />
and political influence on China in the<br />
19 th century. The aim was to take all foreigners<br />
out of the country. It started in<br />
November 1899 and ended on September<br />
7, 1901. Thousands of rebels, foreigners<br />
and low-class Chinese people lost their<br />
lives during the uprising and while repressing<br />
the events.<br />
