The UN General Assembly recently held a special meeting to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II—a moment to remember the tremendous sacrifices made across the globe. At this solemn event, Chinese ambassador Fu Cong delivered a passionate speech urging everyone to uphold a true and respectful understanding of WWII history. 🌏
Fu Cong emphasized China’s pivotal role during the war. He noted that by holding back the main forces of Japanese militarism, China not only ensured its own survival but also provided crucial support to resistance efforts in Europe and the Pacific, contributing significantly to the global victory over fascism.
He warned that any attempts to downplay, deny, or distort the events of WWII are a disservice to history and an affront to human conscience. According to Fu, such actions will eventually lose the trust of the international community.
Furthermore, Fu called for unwavering support for a UN-centered international system based on international law and a rules-based multilateral trading system. He urged all nations to stand united against power politics and bullying, reinforcing the authority of the United Nations to secure lasting peace and development.
This call for historical accuracy and collective global order strikes a resonant chord, especially with young, socially conscious minds who value transparency and justice in today’s fast-paced world. 🔥
