Chinese Communist Party to Hold Propaganda Military Parade to Celebrate Their Supposed Victory Over Imperial Japan in World War II
It looks like Chinese Communist Party is going to pretend they had anything to do with defeating the Imperial Japanese during World War II and they are inviting President Lee to join them in their delusion:
The South Korean government is weighing whether President Lee Jae Myung should attend China’s military parade, held in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan during World War II.
This will be another diplomatic test for the Lee administration, as the invitation, extended amid heightened regional tensions, reflects China’s efforts to reinforce its historical narratives and expand its regional influence.
For South Korea, Lee’s potential attendance poses a delicate diplomatic balancing act — weighing the importance of its economic relationship with China against its security alliance with the United States and its deeply rooted historical tensions with Japan. Whether he accepts or declines could carry far-reaching implications for regional alignment and the evolving historical discourse in Northeast Asia.
You can read more at the link, but the CCP during World War II sat back and did hardly anything against the Imperial Japanese invasion of China. Nearly all the fighting against the Japanese was from the Kuomintang that ruled China at the time.
If anything the CCP should be sending the Emperor of Japan a thank you card because the only reason the CCP took power was because World War II had so weakened the Kuomintang. The degradatoin of the Koumintang allowed the CCP to win the Chinese civil war and the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan where the civil war with the CCP continues from to this day. If anyone should be having a military parade to celebrate the defeat of the Imperial Japanese in China it is Taiwan.
With that all said President Lee should not attend a military parade for a country that is responsible for the current division of the Korean peninsula. If CCP troops had not intervened in the Korean War, Korea would be one country today and instead it is divided because of China.
So did the US under Trump. Don’t point fingers at others, you two countries have more things in common than you admit.
CCP just hoarded weapons and hid in the hills while Chiang and the Nationalists did the fighting.
“So did the US under Trump.”
So did the US what? Is there a subject here? Is there a point?
Protip: Never go full But Trump.
If you are talking about victory over Japan, it isn’t clear that Trump celebrated it specifically, but America’s victory (followed by japan’s unconditional surrender) was pretty spectacular… likely the most spectacular military victory in human history.
“Don’t point fingers at others, you two countries have more things in common than you admit.”
Keep thinking that through and you will understand why America doesn’t want that commonality to become equality.
