How can China use the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind to solve peace and security issues?" Ma Zhaoxu said that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has never taken the initiative to provoke a war or occupied an inch of other countries' land. China is the only country in the world that has written into its constitution that adheres to the path of peaceful development. It is the only country among the nuclear powers that has pledged not to be the first to use nuclear weapons. China has always firmly upheld the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. It is the country that has sent the largest number of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the Security Council and the second largest peacekeeping contributor to the UN

At the first press conference the day before, in response to what message China hopes to convey to the international community through the commemorative activities, Assistant Foreign Minister Hong Lei said that the love of peace is integrated into the bloodline of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people have suffered from the aggression of foreign powers and know the preciousness of peace. We held the military parade to demonstrate our firm determination to follow the path of peaceful development, our strong will to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and our strong ability to maintain world peace and tranquility. "On issues of peace and security, China has the best record in the world." Hong Lei said that China's enhanced strength will provide more positive energy for promoting world peace. No matter how far it develops, China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or engage in an arms race. It will firmly be a force for peace, stability, and progress in this world.

Hong Kong's "Oriental Daily" said that on the afternoon of the 29th, at a press conference held in the press center, the heads of the Central Committee of the five democratic parties introduced their in-depth thinking on promoting the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War. Wang Lu, vice chairperson of the Central Committee of the Chinese Peasants and Workers' Democratic Party, pointed out that the victory of World War II not only ended the serious threat of militarism and fascism to world peace, but also reshaped the post-war international order and strengthened the determination of mankind to world peace and development. The establishment of the post-war international order is a precious achievement achieved by the bloodshed and sacrifice of people all over the world, including the Chinese people, and must be respected and protected.

Li Haidoon, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the College of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with the "Global Times" on the 29th that China will hold the 80th anniversary celebration of the victory of the Chinese people's war against Japan and the world anti-fascist war, not only in order to remember history and remember the predecessors, but also in order to consolidate the results of the victory of the Second World War, in the current intertwined international situation, to ensure that the principles and rules ofining international order stability and prosperity will not be distorted or weakened, but also to provide Chinese programs for the future development of the international order, injecting positive energy for world peace and prosperity.

Li Haidong said that on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War, China has sent an important message to the world through its own practice: on issues related to world peace, China will never be absent and will surely assume more international responsibilities. This is also the inherent requirement of China's concept of building Community of Shared Future for Mankind-China should contribute to the progress of all mankind.

Demonstrate determination to maintain peace

The international community has paid a lot of attention to commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War.Many foreign media reports say that these commemorative events will demonstrate China's firm determination and strong ability to safeguard post-war international order and safeguard world peace and stability.

Koshkin, a professor at the Russian Institute of Oriental States, said at a forum held by Rossiya Segodnya news agency on the 29th that China's front line prevented Japan from attacking the Soviet Union in 1941, which was a very important factor (in the victory of World War II). "Historical documents are very convincing evidence that China had a crucial and significant impact." Koshkin said that historical research has the problem of underestimating the contribution of the Chinese people in the victory over Japan and World War II.

The "Moscow Communist Youth League" said on the 29th that many national leaders and representatives will participate in the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the China People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the SCO Summit before the commemoration, which highlights the new pattern of political power on the international stage.

Kenya's "Star" published a commentator article saying that the world anti-fascist war should be re-examined from a more balanced and broad perspective, and the heroic resistance of the China people and their huge contribution to the victory of this war should be correctly evaluated. "Some people try to downplay or distort the role of countries in the global South such as China, or portray invaders as victims, which is blasphemy to those martyrs who fought bloody battles." Another article in the newspaper emphasized that as Kenya and Africa look to the future, China's experience in the Anti-Japanese War remains relevant: once the power of the people is organized, it can defeat powerful invaders.

Zimbabwe's Herald said on the 29th that the Chinese people made great contributions to the victory of War of Resistance against Japan and World War II with great sacrifice and extraordinary perseverance. According to the report, China's victory is of world significance, inspired the global movement against imperialism, colonialism and hegemonism, and wrote a glorious chapter in the history of human civilization. This victory was not only military, but also survival. It shattered the yoke of aggression and created the necessary conditions for sovereignty and self-determination. It is on this hard-won basis of peace and independence that China embarked on an extraordinary development track and finally became the second largest economy in the world. Therefore, the commemoration witnesses the direct connection between past struggles and today's peace and prosperity.

On August 27th, an exhibition of books and documents commemorating the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations was held at the Hammarskjöld Library of the United Nations. Ambassador Fu Cong, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, said in his speech that a correct view of the history of World War II is the cornerstone of building world peace. At another activity called "Echo of Peace", Fu Cong said that we should draw wisdom and strength from the great victory of the world anti-fascist war and make unremitting efforts for the promise of "saving future generations from the scourge of war again". He said: "The bell of history echoes endlessly, and the echo of peace travels through time and space."

"Unparalleled Unity"

"Coinciding with the commemoration of the victory of World War II and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Tianjin Summit has special historical significance." SCO Secretary-General Yermekbayev said in an interview with RIA Novosti on the 29th that this year many SCO member states held relevant commemorative activities, and the SCO Secretariat also held a series of activities."I believe, These commemorative activities have brought the SCO family closer together." Yermekbayev said that SCO member states are drafting a joint statement commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of World War II and will be delivered at the Tianjin Summit. The joint statement will emphasize promoting a correct historical view of World War II, safeguarding the authority of the United Nations, promoting world peace, and building a more just and inclusive global governance system.

"Unparalleled unity", the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported on the 29th under the title, saying that the leaders of many countries gathered in Tianjin for the SCO summit. The participating countries are all developing countries or emerging market countries. In an era of erosion of the international order, this summit will show the "unparalleled unity" of the countries of the global South.

Igor Morgulov, Russia's ambassador to China, said on the 29th: "The SCO Tianjin Summit is expected to become an important milestone in the development of the SCO." He said that the SCO Tianjin Summit is expected to adopt more than 20 outcome documents, including the "Tianjin Declaration" and the SCO Development Strategy to 2035, which will become the long-term cooperation roadmap of the SCO member states.

Mr. Morgulov said that the increasing attractiveness of the SCO on the international stage was reflected in the number of countries applying to join, including those outside Eurasia. He stressed that the SCO was based on the principles of equality, consensus, balance of interests, mutual benefit, respect for cultural diversity and non-targeting of third countries. "I think it is precisely because of these characteristics, and because the SCO can offer the world a positive alternative to the idea of bloc confrontation and conflict, that the SCO is becoming increasingly attractive to other partners."
