China has unveiled plans 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, with a series of commemorative events aimed at honoring historical memory and promoting global peace. The State Council Information Office detailed the arrangements during a press conference led by Hu Heping, executive vice minister of the publicity department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.
Hu emphasized the significance of preserving historical truth and fostering international understanding through educational initiatives, cultural exhibitions, and diplomatic dialogues. The commemorations will include academic symposiums, archival releases, and cross-border youth exchanges to highlight Asia's role in defeating fascism.
This anniversary holds particular resonance amid current geopolitical tensions, serving as a reminder of the costs of conflict and the value of multilateral cooperation. Analysts note the events will likely strengthen China's narrative of wartime contributions while encouraging regional stability.
For overseas audiences, virtual museum tours and documentary screenings will be accessible globally, offering the Asian diaspora opportunities to engage with this pivotal chapter in history.
