General Song Puxuan, Commander of the Beijing Military Region, greeted Xi in front of Tiananmen at the start of the parade.Ītop Tiananmen, Xi Jinping wore a Mao suit, as was customary for leaders inspecting troops at military parades the first lady Peng Liyuan wore a red dress. Premier Li Keqiang was the master of ceremonies for the parade, breaking convention from its two previous renditions of the parade, which were both hosted by the Communist Party Secretary of Beijing ( Jia Qinglin in 1999 and Liu Qi in 2009). Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, President of the People's Republic China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, was the central figure of the day's events. Observers noted that the umbrella, which became iconic in China-controlled Hong Kong during the protests in 2014, were nowhere to be seen despite the blazing heat although commonly used as a shield against the sun in China. The factory shut-downs and road closures gave rise to rare instance of clean air, where PM2.5 measurements were below 50, and the lack of traffic jams, and these were welcomed by residents of the capital. To reduce air pollution and ensure blue skies for the parade, half of Beijing's cars were barred from the streets and nearly 10,000 industrial firms in Beijing and in areas near and far – Hebei, Tianjin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Henan – suspended or cut production starting on August 20 to cut down on emissions. The act passed despite strong resistance and more than 90 amendments from one legislator. The CY Leung administration in Hong Kong argued for a holiday to facilitate participation in commemorative events, thus it tabled the "Special Holiday (3 September 2015) Ordinance" – designating the day as a one-off holiday – for debate in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong (LegCo) in July.
The second one was declared for December 13, marking the Japanese takeover of Nanjing, China's then capital under the Nationalists. Xi Jinping decreed the creation of two new public holidays targeted at Japan, the first being September 3, officially named The 70th anniversary of Chinese People’s Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War Victory Commemoration Day.

National leadership placed considerable importance on being able to put the best foot forward and do away with distractions. Xi Jinping had attended the 2015 Moscow Victory Day Parade in May as the guest-of-honour of Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Xi returned the favour at this parade. The prevailing theme was to be "peace and victory". The 70th anniversary parade was also the first major parade since Xi Jinping took power as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China in November 2012.
The most prominent renditions of the parade were held in 1959, 1984, 1999, and 2009, presided over respectively by then leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao. Since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949, China held parades primarily on October 1, the country's national day. The 70th Anniversary of V-day parade marked the first time that China held a military parade other than the National Day, and the first to celebrate the end of WWII.
