Russia's Vladimir Putin and North Korea's Kim Jong Un are among 26 world leaders attending China's largest-ever military parade.
It marks 80 years since Japan's defeat at the end of World War Two.
The 70-minute parade features over 10,000 troops, hundreds of advanced weapons, and a 80-gun salute.
It also marks the first time a North Korean leader has attended a Chinese military parade in 66 years.
Chinese President Xi Jinping says the parade marks a major turning point in what he calls the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation".

Opposition health spokesperson Anne Ruston says the government's handling of home support for older Australians is unnacceptable.
It follows revelations that that one older Australian is dying every two hours, while waiting for the level of home care they need.
The Coalition, with support from the crossbench, will push amendments on aged care legislation in the Senate, which would immediately release the packages for 200,000 older Australians.
Health Minister Mark Butler says he will continue to have discussions with Ms Ruston on the matter.
"I've had constructive discussions with Senator Ruston for months and months about our shared commitment to deliver a better aged care system to older Australians and I hope those conversations will continue over the next day or two."

In sports, suspended Adelaide Crows AFL player Izak Rankine says he's committed to regaining society's trust, following his AFL ban for a homophobic slur.

In a press conference, he says he regrets the way he behaved.

Rankine says he will apologise personally to teammates in coming days.
