China will hold a military parade at the Zhurihe Training Base in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 9:00 a.m. local time Sunday, to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the event.
On August 1, 1927, armed forces led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) organized an uprising in Nanchang, in eastern Jiangxi Province, against the Kuomintang. The day was later designated as the founding day of the PLA.
