These videos are set to the Imperial March or Darth Vaders the from Star Wars.

.China recruits people to march in these grand parades. Most females you see marching are members of marching malitas. Their term of service is about 9 months. They train only to march and very basic military drills. They must meet specific physical standards as to height and weight and overall physical appearance.The same is true for many of the men marching you see in these grand parades.

These videos are from the 60th Anniversary parade of the Peoples Republic of China in 2009.

Five carrier-borne J-15 fighter jets with Flying Shark logos painted on their vertical stabilizers flew in a perfect V-shaped formation over Tian'anmen Square in Beijing on Oct 1 during a military parade to celebrate the People's Republic of China's 70th birthday.

The J-15 fighter force, established in 2013, is China's sole carrier-based air combat unit. Representing a major milestone in the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force's combat capability, the force's crown jewel has participated in all five military parades in China in the past four years.
