China News Agency reporter Xing Yi
On the 23rd, Chinese officials solemnly commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ departure to fight against the US and aid Korea in Beijing, Shenyang, Dandong and other places. Supreme Leader Xi Jinping attended the commemorative meeting in Beijing and delivered an important speech, looking back at history, looking at the present, and enlightening the future.
Resisting U.S. aggression and aggression against Korea is considered a "war for the founding of the nation" of New China. It is a modern war waged under extremely difficult conditions of extreme disparity, asymmetry, and difficulty between the two warring parties.
Its ending changed the international image of New China, established its status as a major power, and deeply shaped the strategic pattern of Asia and the world after World War II.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger once pointed out that this war established China's military prestige as a formidable opponent, and this prestige has remained unchanged in the following decades.
In the past, China’s commemoration of this extraordinary history on the tenth anniversary of it was not uncommon, but this year’s attention has been even more prominent.
The top leadership attended all exhibitions and commemorative conferences on the theme of Resist US Aid Korea twice within a week.
In the past few days, exhibitions and film and television works on related themes have been continuously launched, and the degree of heated discussion in society has continued to rise.
At a time when the world’s century of change and the great cause of national rejuvenation are superimposed, the solemn commemoration is on the one hand to inspire the people, show determination, confidence and self-confidence; on the other hand, it is to warn those who move against the current of the outside world about the value of peace and proclaim China’s peacekeeping. determination.
The 70 years of learning from the past is not only an internal strategic mobilization, but also a window for the outside world to observe China's peaceful development path and the national character of friendly neighbors.
Xi Jinping said that the great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea spans time and space, and will last forever. It must be passed on forever and carried forward from generation to generation.
The solemn memorial is first of all to condense and inherit the national spirit.
Resisting U.S. Aid Korea has always been regarded as a classic of winning more with less and defeating the strong with weak. The so-called "less steel and more gas" defeats "more steel and less gas."
At that time, China was waiting to be prospered and all industries to be promoted.
The driving force for people to step onto the battlefield is to maintain peace and justice and to resist foreign aggressors. They are famous; they rely on the national character and bloodliness that do not cause trouble or fear.
From resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea to reform and opening up, and now seeking modernization and national rejuvenation, the perseverance of the national spirit runs through.
The far-reaching impact is the Chinese people's struggle to open up roads in the mountains, build bridges when encountering water, endure hardships and stand hard work, and come back against the wind.
The solemn commemoration is also to strengthen our own system and path.
The resistance to US aggression and aid to Korea is a historic decision made by the Chinese party and government with extraordinary courage and courage.
The so-called "fight with one punch, so as not to have a hundred punches", New China has since gained a firm foothold, fighting for the peace and security of the country.
From being poor and white to now growing into the world's second-largest economy, every time an inward reform and opening-up policy are made, it is not easy to rely on its own unique political system advantages.
In particular, as the world faces the impact of the new crown epidemic, many overseas polls also show that the Chinese people's satisfaction with government governance ranks first in the world.
The grand commemoration reflects China's profound thinking on the relationship between war and peace, and is a warning to the world to cherish the hard-won Chinese experience of peace.
Undoubtedly, the resistance to US aggression and aid to North Korea greatly promoted the modernization of China’s national defense and military, but the Chinese government and people have always pursued a defensive national defense policy.
As Xi Jinping said at the memorial meeting, no matter how powerful any country or army is, if it stands on the opposite side of the world's development trend, bullying the weak, rebelling against the weak, and aggressively expanding, it will inevitably be broken.
This battle has once again proved that justice must defeat power and peaceful development is an unstoppable historical trend.
The Chinese nation has always believed that a strong country does not need to seek hegemony, advocating harmony without difference, and only fighting for war.
At that time, China was on the side of opposing aggression and promoting the oppressed nations and peoples of the world to strive for national independence and liberation.
Today, unilateralism, protectionism, and extreme egoism are rising in the world against the current. Individual countries do their own things, triggering shocks in the global pattern through blackmail, blockade, and extreme pressure.
The solemn commemoration of China’s confrontation with the United States and aid to North Korea once again declares to the world that as a responsible power, the alarm of war is still in our ears. China will stick to the unstoppable historical trend of peaceful development and once again stand on the side of justice.
