China has announced plans to mark the 80th anniversary of its victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, with commemorative events emphasizing historical remembrance and global cooperation. The State Council Information Office outlined preparations during a Tuesday press conference, highlighting the conflict's role in shaping modern Asia.
Officials stressed the importance of preserving historical accuracy while promoting peace-building initiatives. The anniversary events will include academic symposiums, cultural exhibitions, and educational programs designed to engage both domestic and international audiences.
This milestone comes as Asian nations increasingly collaborate on economic and security initiatives. Analysts suggest the commemorations will underscore China's commitment to multilateralism while honoring the sacrifices made during the 1931-1945 conflict that claimed millions of lives across the region.
The anniversary programming aims to resonate with younger generations through digital storytelling platforms, blending historical accounts with contemporary peacekeeping efforts. Organizers have invited representatives from multiple countries and regions to participate in cross-cultural dialogues.
