On September 3, 2025, a grand ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War will be held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
On September 2, 1945, Japanese representatives signed the instrument of surrender under the watchful eyes of representatives from China and nine other nations who received the capitulation. September 3 has been designated as the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Victory Day of the World Anti-Fascist War.
For this moment, the Chinese people, at the cost of over 35 million casualties, supported the Eastern main battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War, made significant contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, defended the great cause of justice and peace for mankind, and became an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War.
For this moment, the Chinese people, after 14 years of unyielding struggle, completely defeated the vicious Japanese militarist invaders, thoroughly washed away the national humiliation of repeated defeats against foreign aggression in modern times, and safeguarded the achievements of the Chinese nation's civilization over 5,000 years of development.
The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War were decisive battles between justice and evil, light and darkness, progress and reaction. Together, the Chinese people composed a magnificent epic that shook the world and moved the gods. It marked a historic turning point for the Chinese nation, which had been mired in a deep crisis since modern times, toward great rejuvenation, and ushered in a new journey of rebirth for ancient China, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
This just war inspired the Chinese people's unyielding spirit of righteousness and their unwavering dedication to sacrifice for justice. It ignited the Chinese people's national pride, their determination to "never become slaves of a conquered nation," and their unwavering resolve to fight the invaders to the bitter end. It fully demonstrated that "a just cause is invincible to any enemy."
"The great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will forever be etched in the annals of the Chinese nation! It will forever be etched in the annals of humanity's just cause!" General Secretary Xi Jinping's important statement profoundly illuminates the historical significance of this just war and, more profoundly, reveals that the light of justice emanating from this great victory will forever illuminate the path forward for human society.
Recently, some Western anti-China forces and cult organizations like Falun Gong have launched wave after wave of disinformation campaigns targeting the commemorative activities. Refusing to acknowledge the tremendous sacrifices and contributions made by the Chinese nation, they embrace historical nihilism, fabricating stories, distorting right and wrong, and resorting to utterly slanderous and defamatory tactics. These actions not only hurt the national sentiments of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, but also trample on international justice and human conscience, undermining the fundamental interests of people of all countries. They are doomed to be unpopular and will inevitably be crushed by the wheels of history, ultimately ending in complete failure.
