本站:原文:

On September 3rd, Beijing held the largest military parade in history.

China says this is to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the World Anti-Fascist War.

President Xi Jinping attended on the Tiananmen Rostrum together with Russian President Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

A Chinese author wrote in an article that this parade is not simply a celebration.

The author believes that inviting Putin and Kim Jong-un, but not leaders from Western allies, creates a suspicious image.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama also attended, but the author says he does not represent the Japanese people and is more like a 'political actor'.

zuò zhě作者zhǐ chū指出kàng rì zhàn zhēng抗日战争deshèng lì胜利dāng rán当然zhí de值得jì niàn纪念

The author points out that the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan is certainly worth commemorating.

That war caused China to lose more than ten million lives and tens of millions became refugees.

dàn shì但是zhōng gòng中共bìngbú shì不是kàng zhàn抗战dezhǔ yào主要lì liàng力量

However, the Chinese Communist Party was not the main force in the war of resistance.

zhēn zhèng真正lǐng dǎo领导kàng zhàn抗战deshìguó mín zhèng fǔ国民政府

The Nationalist Government was the real leader of the resistance.

gòng chǎn dǎng共产党gèngduōshìzàibǎo cún保存shí lì实力

The Communist Party was more focused on preserving its strength.

The author questions: if so, why did the Communist Party rarely celebrate the victory in the war in the decades after founding the country, but only started high-profile parades from 2015?

zàizuò zhě作者kàn lái看来zhè xiē这些yuè bīng阅兵shìzhèng zhì政治gōng jù工具

In the author's view, these parades are political tools.

Since the 1990s, the Communist Party has often used nationalism, treating Japan as a 'hypothetical enemy' to consolidate power and divert conflicts.

Especially now, when China's economy is struggling and unemployment is high, the parade looks more like a political show.

The author finally warns that when Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Xi Jinping stand together, they form a new 'axis of dictatorship'.

They display military power in the name of 'peace', but this is the real danger.

The author calls on ordinary people not to be manipulated by nationalism, to think independently, and to remember the truth of history.
