BEIJING, Sept. 24 -- A selection of new weapons utilized by the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) will feature in the upcoming National Day parade, and the media will not be disappointed, said a senior PLA officer at a group interview Tuesday.

Tan Min, executive deputy director of the office of joint parade command, made the remarks in response to a question raised by Japanese media asking whether China's latest ballistic missile DF41 will make an appearance in the parade.

All the weapons and equipment to feature in the parade are domestic and in active service with a high level of IT application and better strike accuracy, he said.

The new weapons also display a joint combat system of the PLA and innovative features from China's national defense industry, said Tan.

The parade, which will take place in Beijing on Oct. 1, marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
