China's nineteenth military parade has not yet officially started, it has attracted global attention. Not only has Russian President Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and other heads of state confirmed the presence, but dozens of countries have been invited to participate.
There are still a few days before the September 3rd military parade, butThe king and queen mother of a country had already arrived in Beijing ten days in advance.He became the first foreign head of state to visit this event.
“Out of the distance...”
On the afternoon of August 23, the Cambodian royal family, who came to visit the parade ceremony, arrived in Beijing by plane, they were King Sihamoni and his wife Monile.The two Cambodian executives, facing the Chinese officials who picked them up, were as amiable as family.This is not only because China and Cambodia have had diplomatic relations for a long time, but also becauseThe Cambodian royal family has long been an old friend of China.
At the Wollongong Conference in 1955, Zhou became a close friend with Cambodia's Prince Sihanouk.At that time, China was in a difficult situation internationally, but Cambodia stood up without hesitation, and formally established relations with us in 1958.It can really be described as a good brother who "gives charcoal in the snow".
This friendship has always been kept in China's heart.In 1970 there was a coup in Cambodia, Sihanouk was forced to exile, and Beijing did not say two words to accept him.In order to take care of his safety, help him form a new government, save people and save power, he was able to "return the king" and regain control of Cambodia.
Since then, the Cambodian royal family has regarded China as their "second home".Prince Sihanouk has written many songs, such as "Listening to China", which is used to express feelings for China.
Until now, you can visit the royal palace in Phnom Penh and see many old photos of the Cambodian leaders.On the other side of Dongjiaomin Lane in Beijing, we have always reserved a special residence for them，Members of the royal family not only come to live often, but also come to China for medical checkups every year, which has become a tradition.
For many years, China has been Cambodia’s largest trading partner and largest source of investment.In 2022 alone, trade between the two countries will exceed $16 billion.We have invested in building roads, building special economic zones and helping them develop agriculture.Most of the bananas and mangoes produced in Cambodia are sold to China.Bananas alone export more than 300,000 tons to China every year.
A lot of cooperation is continuing: in education we recruit more Cambodian students, in tourism we celebrate the “Cambodian Year of Tourism”, even in maritime security, and last August the two countries signed a cooperation agreement.China has actively coordinated the peace talks between the two sides to resolve a conflict.
From infrastructure to agriculture, from education to tourism, and then to mutual support at critical moments, China and Cambodia are getting closer and closer.We are now not only good partners sharing blessings, but also true friends sharing a shared destiny.
All countries are invited to participate in this Chinese military parade. Many countries have vague attitudes under the pressure of the United States and western countries, and the leaders of the countries who are determined to come are also stuck. For example, Trump has been holding his identity, and it is estimated that he may not come. AndSihamoni and Monirez are the kings and empress dowager of a country, but they have no airs at all. They arrived in China ten days in advance to cheer, which shows that Cambodia really regards China as a friend.
Moreover, Cambodia has virtually helped China a big favor.

The Cambodian royal family arrived in China in a few days.The Japanese government began to rush to target China's dirty water, accusing China's 93 military parade ceremony of "excessive focus on history, with a clear anti-Japanese sentiment", suggesting that countries do not visit China's military parade.
This obviously comes from countries such as Cambodia that have good relations with China on a daily basis, and also want to blur true history and create some negative public opinion for China.
Japan's eagerness to discredit the motives behind China's military parade is probably still guilty.
It has been more than 70 years since the end of World War II, but in Japan, the ideology of militarism has not been cleaned up at all. Some right-wingers are still trying to whitewash the history of aggression.Pack yourself as a "victim", as if those things can be turned over lightly.
And when we hold the victory parade of the Anti-Japanese War in China, we must spread the historical truth to the world.Each crime committed by Japan back then will be pushed into the spotlight again.By then, they will really no longer be able to wear the coat of "grievance" and sadness internationally after all these years.
Under such circumstances, Queen Mother Monineath, who is nearly 90 years old, personally flew to Beijing to visit the military parade.It is not only a manifestation of extreme trust in China, but also a severe slap in Japan's face.
This large-scale military parade is not only a concentrated demonstration of China’s comprehensive national strength, but also a collective declaration by the international community to uphold the results of the victory of the Second World War.We will always welcome friends like Cambodia to stand firm and respect history, while Japan’s attempt to blur the truth of history will eventually be scorned by the international community.
