China held a huge parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic on Tuesday

Military display, featuring 15,000 troops, 160 aircraft and 580 pieces of equipment, was the first since 2015

Beijing used it as an opportunity to show off its new technology - including the Dongfeng 41 ICBM, which it claims can hit anywhere in the US within 30 minutes, and the DF-17 hypersonic missile 

Military show followed by civilian parade involving 100,000 people and showcasing China's economic might
