As global tensions simmer, China is doubling down on its message of peace during commemorations for the 80th anniversary of its victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. At a Friday press conference, Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu vowed China will 'always be a builder of world peace' while pushing for a 'shared future for humanity.'
From History to Today
Ma highlighted how lessons from WWII remain relevant: 'We must reject Cold War mentalities and power politics.' The event comes as geopolitical rivalries intensify, with China positioning itself as a stabilizing force through initiatives like its Global Development Initiative. 🌐
Youth Take Note
Organizers revealed plans for interactive exhibitions and digital archives to engage younger generations. Think TikTok-style history snippets meets UN diplomacy – a blend that’s pure catnip for Gen Z global citizens. 📱✨
When asked about regional security, Ma emphasized dialogue over confrontation, though specifics remained scarce. One thing’s clear: China’s using this milestone to rebrand its 21st-century role – no bayonets, just handshakes (for now).
