Likely the purpose. If there’s one thing these guys are good at is a good military parade.

Beijing landmark = Tianmen Square. They're mocking democracy as our "king" wears orange paint instead of clothes. They're telling the world that democracy will always devolve into fascism and Nazism. They highlight the nature of man to always seek absolute power while ignoring their role in tipping the USA into madness from afar. It is imperative that we stop the madness in the USA and prove them wrong. The battle has always been democracy vs authoritarianism. They've played us as the right is preoccupied with infantile notions of good versus evil and the left doing the same thing with capitalism versus socialism.

I'm honestly not sure they're wrong about that.

Soldiers shouldn't march in unison like that. If you were a smart adversary you could just shoot like 30 of them with a single bullet. Just an observation.
