China’s President Xi Jinping has announced military cuts at a parade marking the 70th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War Two. President Xi spoke at the huge military parade in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. He said China would cut its troops by 300,000, or more than 10 percent, from the world’s largest military. Officials said the troop cuts would be completed by 2017.

The event included 12,000 troops and many new weapons not seen by the public before. Among the weapons were what Chinese media called “carrier killer” missiles.
