Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the "unstoppable" momentum of national rejuvenation during a high-profile ceremony in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Speaking as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Xi addressed a solemn gathering of dignitaries and veterans on Wednesday. He framed the commemoration as both a tribute to historical sacrifices and a roadmap for future development.
"This ceremony allows us to remember our history, honor martyrs, value peace, and jointly build a shared future for humanity," Xi stated. The Chinese leader paid special tribute to veterans, patriots, and overseas Chinese who contributed to the war effort, reaffirming China's commitment to peaceful development through multilateral cooperation.
Analysts suggest the speech underscores China's growing confidence in shaping global governance frameworks while maintaining historical consciousness. The event comes amid heightened international attention on Asia's evolving security architecture and economic partnerships.
