Over 340 representatives from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and global Chinese communities gathered in Beijing this week to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The event highlighted unity, historical remembrance, and a call for lasting peace. 🕊️
A Shared Legacy
Wang Huning, a senior leader of the Communist Party of China, emphasized that the victory was a “shared memory and honor” for all Chinese people. He acknowledged the critical role of overseas Chinese and residents of Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan in the anti-fascist struggle, calling their contributions “unforgettable.”
Patriotism & Progress
The symposium stressed preserving the spirit of resistance and patriotism to fuel China's modernization. Wang urged stronger integration of Hong Kong and Macao into national development and enhanced cross-strait exchanges, while opposing “Taiwan independence” and external interference. 💪
Looking Forward
Leaders also called for promoting a truthful narrative of WWII history to advance global peace—a message resonating with younger generations advocating for unity in today's polarized world. 🌐✨
