Hey Asia fam 🌏, big diplomatic vibes are brewing ahead of China’s upcoming 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
At a recent press briefing, spokesperson Guo Jiakun from the Chinese Foreign Ministry dropped some serious points. He said this commemoration is all about remembering history and cherishing peace ✌️. But Japan’s negative remarks about the event didn’t sit well, so Beijing lodged "serious representations" with Tokyo.
Guo stressed that any country genuinely committed to peaceful development wouldn’t question or object to honoring the past. He pointed out that understanding and treating history with integrity is key for Japan’s post-war return to the international community and for building solid ties with its neighbors 🤝.
Wrapping up, he urged Japan to face its history of aggression head-on, break away from militarism, stick to peaceful growth, and respect the feelings of people in China and other victimized countries 💬.
For young pros from Mumbai to Manila, this talks to why history matters in shaping today’s peace and unity in Asia. Whether you’re swiping through TikTok or scrolling news on your morning commute, these diplomatic moves remind us that looking back can help us move forward 🚀.
