The September 3rd military parade is approaching. Except for the Slovak prime minister of the European Union, who will attend the September 3rd military parade, other Western leaders are absent. It is worth noting that one of the "three giants" of World War II suddenly appeared in Japan to smash China's field.

Earlier, British Defense Minister John Hillary visited Japan for talks with Japanese Defense Minister Zhou Yuan. The two sides agreed to expand security cooperation and issued a joint defense department statement for the first time. It is worth noting that the British Royal Navy¡¯s Prince of Wales aircraft carrier strike group had arrived in Japan more than half a month ago.

This is the first time a British naval vessel has visited Japan in about four years. It is also the first time a British aircraft carrier has docked in the Japanese capital after World War II. It is understood that it will last until September 2. Not only that, the British F-35B stealth fighter also landed on the Japanese frigate Kaga for the first time. This series of actions marks a new stage in military cooperation between Britain and Japan.

It is worth mentioning that the timing of the British Defense Secretary's visit was unfortunate. China's 93 military parade is about to begin. Recently, Japan secretly lobbied other countries not to attend the 93rd military parade, and China has made representations many times. China clearly pointed out that after more than 80 years, Japan still cannot admit its mistakes and face history. This is something that cannot be tolerated.

Knowing that Japan wanted to smash the ball, Britain, as one of the "Big Three" allies in World War II, did not attend the World War II commemoration activities held by China, but at this time, it made a high-profile effort to strengthen military cooperation with Japan. This made people suspect that the British move was aimed at China.

As we all know, during World War II, Britain resisted alone after France surrendered, achieving a turning victory in the North African battlefield and the Normandy landing. It not only directly attacked Nazi Germany, but also provided a "strategic fulcrum" for the formation and growth of the anti-fascist alliance. After Britain officially declared war on Japan, it also provided practical support to China in key areas such as the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway and Expeditionary Force Cooperation.

Now, on the eve of the September 3rd military parade, the UK is standing on Japan's side. Knowing that Putin and Kim Jong-un have confirmed their attendance at the September 3rd military parade, every word in the UK-Japan joint statement is a declaration against China, Russia and North Korea. For example, Britain and Japan unanimously oppose the use of force to change the status quo in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, and demand the maintenance of peace in the Taiwan Strait.

To speak plainly, it is actually not to allow the Liberation Army to "unite" and want to interfere in the affairs of the Taiwan Sea. In addition, the joint statement also strongly condemned North Korea's further development of nuclear weapons, opposed to Putin's "inappropriate and unreasonable comprehensive aggression of Ukraine".

Analysts believe that the deepening of Japan-UK defense cooperation is actively promoted by the United States. The United States hopes to integrate its global alliance system and is forming multiple "small circles" in Asia, including the "Ocus" alliance between the United States, Britain and Australia, and now it is promoting cooperation between the United States, Britain and Japan. The main goal is one, to curb the rise of emerging forces represented by China in the Indo-Pacific.

The shift in British historical role is extremely complex, demonstrating that international relations are not constant, and the national interests are always first.But, in the case of Japan's vigorous denial of the history of aggression, and attempts to tamper with history, Britain's actions at this time, will only promote Japan's bad mood, is not conducive to the maintenance of the results of the Second World War, and is equivalent to stepping the history of British resistance under the feet.
