🇨🇳 80 years since China's defeat of fascism

China marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the end of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with a massive military parade.

Addressing 50,000 spectators at Tiananmen Square and in the presence of 26 world leaders, President Xi Jinping noted how the Chinese people made significant contributions to save human civilization and in the defense of world peace with huge sacrifices in the war. He also called upon leaders and nations to "eliminate the root cause of war and prevent historical tragedies from recurring."

"Humanity is again faced with a choice of peace or war, dialogue or confrontation, and win-win outcomes or zero-sum games," Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed in his speech.

Japan's fascist aggression started in 1931, years before what Western societies assume as the beginning of World War II, with the German invasion of Poland. The Japanese officially surrendered on September 2nd, 1945.

Diplomatic solutions to all disputes are preferred as the “failed military aggression by the United States and the Zionist regime has shown that military options are ineffective and will face the heroic resistance of the Iranian people,” Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said.

After weeks of threats, US President Donald Trump officially announced that he is sending federal forces to the US city of Chicago. On September 2, Trump declared his intent to send federal troops, including National Guard personnel, to Chicago to address rising crime, stating: “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, but we’re going in.”

After Trump’s announcement about the midwestern city, Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson, a progressive Democrat, swiftly responded: “He just wants his own secret police force that will do publicity stunts whenever his poll numbers are sinking, whenever his jobs report shows a stagnating economy, whenever he needs another distraction from his failures,” Johnson told reporters.

“Chicago is doing what works without Trump’s invasion of our city,” wrote the Chicago Teachers Union on X. “We reject occupation. We welcome investments in public education, youth employment, and affordable housing.”
