During the 2024 Spring Festival Gala, presented by Chinese Communist state media, CCTV, armed forces performed a shocking display where they flaunted firearms and sang military anthems. Critics argued it was complete out of place and failed to align with the celebratory spirit of the Lunar New Year. They believe that this performance clearly exposed the bloody and murderous nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
CCTV’s annual variety show broadcast on the eve of the Lunar New Year, Feb. 9, featured soldiers donning helmets, clad in camouflage attire, carrying rifles on stage, performing military drills, and singing military anthems. The stage also showcased images of modern fighter jets, tanks, and submarines, simulated beach landings and missile launches.
