China – Nation commemorates 78th anniversary of victory in Anti-Japanese War
Experts call for vigilance against Japan’s remaining militarism
As Sunday marked the 78th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War, people across the nation held ceremonies to commemorate the martyrs and cherish today’s hard-won peace.
Eight decades have passed but the remnants of militarism that caused World War II still remain, experts said, pointing to Japan, which has taken a sharp turn from the path of peaceful development in recent years, and warning of the dangerous trend of its military buildup in the Indo-Pacific region.
China’s Anti-Japanese War was the longest, largest and most costly war of national liberation that the Chinese people fought against foreign aggressors in modern history. It was also the first complete victory won by the Chinese people in their struggle for national liberation.
The great triumph in the war marked a full victory in the global war against fascism, re-established China as a major country in the world, and won the Chinese people the respect of all peace-loving people around the world, stressed participants in a symposium held on Sunday in Beijing attended by about 200 officials including Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.
To commemorate this day, the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance Against Japanese Aggression held a series of exhibitions showing how China, as the main battlefield in the East, took the lead in opening the prelude to the global anti-fascist war, breaking the plot of Germany and Japan to divide the world and becoming a crucial pillar in the Asia-Pacific region.
