RECOGNIZE PIVOTAL CONTRIBUTION
In his signed article, President Xi stressed that China and the Soviet Union served as the mainstay of resistance against Japanese militarism and German Nazism, making pivotal contribution to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.
As the main theater in the East of the World Anti-Fascist War, China played a pivotal role in defeating Japanese militarism and achieving broader victory over fascism, an outcome made possible by the immense sacrifices of the Chinese people, said Boris Cheltsov, scientific secretary of the Victory Museum in Moscow.
"The Chinese people displayed extraordinary resilience and courage under extremely difficult conditions," he said.
In the article, Xi emphasized that Taiwan's restoration to China was a victorious outcome of WWII and an integral part of the postwar international order.
Taiwan is part of China, and China's sovereignty over Taiwan is both legal and a recognized fact, said Mohab Nassar, associate professor of international law at Cairo University.
