BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — When the Great Patriotic War began in June 1941, the China theater of the World Anti-Fascist War tied down about 70 percent of the 2.74 million Japanese troops sent abroad, hampering the Japanese army's "move north" strategy and holding back its plan to invade Siberia, a report said Friday.
The report, titled "Historical Retrospect, Upholding Justice – The Great Contribution of the Main Theater of War in the East to the World Anti-Fascist War," was jointly prepared by the Party History and Documentation Research Institute of the CPC Central Committee and the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency.
According to the report, the Chinese National War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression tied down Japan's armed forces, interrupted direct cooperation between the fascist forces of Germany, Italy and Japan, and thwarted the plans of Japan and the fascists of Germany and Italy for global domination, which provided powerful support and coordination in other theaters of anti-fascist military operations.
China's protracted war gave anti-fascist countries such as the Soviet Union, the United States and Great Britain valuable time to prepare for war, and China provided them with vital material assistance.
The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not only to save the country but also to fulfill its great responsibility in the world anti-fascist front. This fact clearly demonstrates the selfless support China has given to other theaters of war around the world in strategic coordination, military assistance, and material resources. -0-
