Shanghai events highlight Sino-US ties forged from war against fascism

The hard-fought victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (and the World Anti-Fascist War) has not been forgotten, nor has the friendship forged between the Chinese and citizens of the United States during those years.

The Flying Tigers, General Claire Chennault and the rescue of the Doolittle Raiders returned to the spotlight at a commemorative event in Shanghai on June 23 marking the 80th anniversary of the victory.

Titled "History Illuminates the Present, Cooperation Lights the Future", the event was organized by the Shanghai Public Relations Association, the Shanghai Institute of American Studies and partner organizations to deepen the Sino-US friendship forged during the anti-fascist struggle.
