Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square will host a grand military parade on September 3 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The event underscores China’s dedication to peace and global justice, according to President Xi Jinping.
A Legacy of Peace
At the 70th-anniversary commemoration in 2015, Xi emphasized: "The Chinese people love peace. No matter how much stronger it may become, China will never seek hegemony or expansion." His words echo China’s post-war philosophy of prioritizing diplomacy over dominance.
Key Quotes from Xi
"China will never inflict its past suffering on any other nation."
"We must build a community with a shared future for mankind."
"Peace, like air and sunshine, is hardly noticed until it is lost."
Looking to the Future
The parade, featuring advanced defense tech and international delegations, aims to honor history while signaling China’s role as a stabilizing force. Analysts say it’s a reminder that strength doesn’t equate to aggression—a message resonating with Gen Z’s global-minded values. 🌍✨
