China held one of its biggest-ever military parades Wednesday, with Chinese President Xi Jinping joined by leaders from a host of countries at odds with the United States and its allies in a display of unity by an “Axis of Upheaval.”
Topping the guest list were Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has pressed on with his war against Ukraine despite a U.S. peace push, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in a rare departure from his isolated, nuclear-armed state. This was the first time Putin, Kim and Xi have been seen together in public.
