To mark 60 years of communist rule China put together its biggest-ever military parade: hundreds of thousands of marchers, batteries of goose-stepping soldiers, and weaponry from drone missiles to amphibious assault vehicles (AP/Vincent Thian). But troubles persist all over China due to human rights abuses. 2.

Not only restive Hong Kong, but Tibetans in the south, Uighurs in the west, Nepalese dissidents, Indian exiles, and Burmese refugees along the border highlight just some of the world's largest nation's troubles.
