China commemorated the 80th anniversary of its victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War on September 3 with a powerful blend of historical reflection and modern muscle. Thousands gathered at Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square to honor a 14-year struggle (1931–1945) that once tied down over 80% of Japan’s military forces, a critical yet underrated chapter in defeating global fascism. 🕊️
The event featured a stunning military parade showcasing cutting-edge drones, missile systems, and stealth tech—highlighting China’s rapid defense modernization. But President Xi Jinping’s message cut through the roar of jets: "Peace is the most precious inheritance." 🌍
Xi emphasized development-first multilateralism and a "community of shared future for humanity," framing China’s rise as a force for global stability. For history buffs and peace advocates alike, the day blended solemn remembrance with a forward-looking vision. 🚀
