At approximately 22:00 on August 29, 2025 (Beijing time), in Xijie, Chongqing University Town, Shapingba District, Chongqing, China, an individual used a projector to display slogans critical of the Chinese Communist Party onto the exterior wall of a building. The projection lasted about 50 minutes before being stopped by the authorities, and attracted considerable public attention.

The event occurred on the eve of the 2025 China Victory Day Parade (also called the 'September 3 Parade'), and was described by commentators as notable given the Chinese government's strict suppression of any public displays of dissent under CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping. Observers have drawn comparisons between this incident and the 2022 Beijing Sitong Bridge protest.
