Event to share glory of victory in war of resistance

The Sept 3 military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War is aimed at upholding the post-World War II international order and celebrating the shared victory over fascism, especially Japanese fascism.

The postwar international order serves as a framework for maintaining global peace, and China organizes this military parade to demonstrate its will to continue defending the international order.

The Chinese people fought against fascist invasion during World War II. The Chinese military and civilians resisted the Japanese forces for more than a decade, paying a heavy price with about 35 million casualties. Their resistance comprised the fight against fascism in the Eastern theater of World War II, contributing to the ultimate Allied victory in 1945.
