Moscow, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — This year marks the 80th anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as the end of the World Anti-Fascist War. The lessons of World War II must not be forgotten, and all attempts to distort the historical truth must be resisted. This is the main thesis of an article by Chinese Consul General in Khabarovsk Jiang Xiaoyang, published in the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper on Wednesday.
Jiang Xiaoyang recalls the history of the Chinese North-Eastern Anti-Japanese United Army, which waged a heroic guerrilla war against the Japanese occupiers for 14 years. In 1941, the army, having suffered very heavy losses and being surrounded, crossed into the territory of the USSR. In the village of Vyatskoye in the Khabarovsk Territory, the 88th separate rifle brigade of the Second Far Eastern Front of the Red Army was created on its basis, which wrote a heroic page in the history of the joint anti-Japanese struggle.
“China and the USSR, being the main theaters of military operations of the Second World War in Asia and Europe, suffered colossal sacrifices and made a huge contribution to the victory over fascism, saving the existence of their nations and the future of humanity,” the article says.
Any attempt to distort the history of World War II, attempts to belittle the role of China and the USSR in the overall victory are unacceptable.
“The bitter lesson of World War II must not be forgotten,” the article emphasizes. “All attempts to distort the historical facts of World War II, deny the victory in World War II and denigrate the historical merits of China and the Soviet Union will fail.”
"Our peoples, united by a common historical memory, similar values and deep traditional friendship, have created a new standard of relations between major states. Eternal good-neighborly friendship, comprehensive strategic interaction and mutually beneficial cooperation have become the spiritual core of Chinese-Russian relations," the Consul General emphasized. –0–
