International observers across the Asia-Pacific region have lauded the 80th anniversary commemoration of Victory Day (V-Day) in Beijing, highlighting its powerful emphasis on global cooperation and peacebuilding. The event, held Wednesday at Tian'anmen Square, marked eight decades since the conclusion of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Regional Voices Unite in Praise
In exclusive interviews with China Media Group, experts and officials emphasized the gathering's contemporary relevance. "This anniversary serves as both a historical reminder and a roadmap for multilateral collaboration," said Dr. Amina Wijaya, a Southeast Asian historian from Indonesia. "By framing peace as an active pursuit rather than passive ideal, it resonates deeply with modern challenges."
Economic Implications of Collective Security
Singaporean investment strategist Rajiv Chowdhury noted the economic dimension: "When major powers like China reinforce stability narratives, it creates ripple effects across Asian markets. This anniversary comes at a crucial time for regional supply chain realignments."
Cultural Bridges Through Shared History
The ceremony's cultural elements – including historical reenactments and cross-generational dialogues – were particularly noted by diaspora community representatives. "Seeing youth participants engage with wartime archives creates living connections for overseas Asians," remarked Malaysian-Chinese cultural researcher Li Wei.
