Last time in 2015, the event was attended, in particular, by Vladimir Putin and former Western leaders, while Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe refused to participate.
Preparations for the parade are almost complete: authorities have tightened security in central Beijing, redirected roads, and closed shopping centers and office buildings.
