BEIJING, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — The Victory Day military parade scheduled for Sept. 3 in Tiananmen Square in central Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, is intended to show China's firm commitment to peace and international justice and fairness, said Major General Wu Zeke, deputy head of the Office of the Military Parade Leading Group and deputy head of the Military Operations Development Department of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission.
At a press conference in Beijing on Wednesday, Wu Zeke spoke about the preparations for the parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
The parade will show that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the country is becoming increasingly prosperous, its armed forces are constantly developing and strengthening, and the great spirit of the War of Resistance is passed down from generation to generation, he said.
According to him, the parade will demonstrate to the whole world that the victory achieved 80 years ago was a great victory of justice over evil, light over darkness and progress over reaction.
China was the first to fight against fascist aggression and put up strong resistance for a long period of time, Wu Zeke said, adding that China's sons and daughters marched forward, united and, at the cost of enormous sacrifices, provided support on the main battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War in the East.
China contained and fought the main military forces of Japanese imperialism, destroying more than 1.5 million soldiers and officers of militaristic Japan in the battles, thereby writing a great chapter of victory in the war against Japan and making a significant contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, he recalled.
China is willing to work with peace-loving countries and peoples around the world to uphold the correct view of the history of World War II, resolutely safeguard the post-war international order, uphold international justice and impartiality, oppose hegemonism and power politics in all forms, and jointly advance the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, Wu Zeke stressed. -0-
