21st Century Perspective: Apocalypse of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

  70 years ago, the New China, which was born only one year ago, is not afraid of the military threats of the world’s largest power. In order to defend world peace and human justice, and to defend the country, it resolutely sent troops into the DPRK to fight and resist imperialist aggression and expansion. The spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea has shaped a milestone in the process of national rejuvenation.

  Seventy years later, major changes unseen in a century have accelerated, and the international economy, security, and politics have undergone profound adjustments. The world has entered a period of turbulent change, and human society has reached a "crossroads."

China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation, and win-win results, unswervingly seek to achieve national rejuvenation, and unswervingly maintain world peace and promote common development.

(Subheading) Resolutely oppose hegemonism and firmly safeguard core interests

  Ju Wanchang was wounded four times in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

Now the old man’s study room is full of military books and materials.

  Ju Wanchang said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea made any hegemonists and aggressors soberly aware that the indomitable Chinese people will use their blood to defend the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests.

  The historical clock is set back to 1950.

After the Korean Civil War broke out on June 25, with its Cold War mentality and ambition to dominate the world and contain communism, the United States brutally carried out armed intervention, and dispatched a fleet to invade the Taiwan Strait. The war quickly burned to the border between China and North Korea. Damage, China’s security faces a serious threat.

  China was forced to wage a war to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

At this time, New China was founded only one year ago, the wounds were still unhealed, and everything was awaited. The strength of the two warring parties was extremely disparity.

  However, the Chinese people are united and not afraid of powerful enemies, breaking the myth that the US military is invincible.

  From 1950 to 1953, China's GDP increased from 42.6 billion yuan to 70.9 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 15%. The total GDP in the three years was 170 billion yuan, and the 6.2 billion yuan spent in the war only accounted for 3.6% of it. "The war is fought well and the construction is done well."

  70 years later-2020, hit by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China's economic growth in the first three quarters "turned positive", becoming the only major economy in the world with positive growth.

  This shows that whether it is to resist traditional threats such as hegemonism or fight against new challenges such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China can overcome the enemy and be invincible.

  The magnificent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea forged a great spirit of Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

  “In the past, there was less steel and more gas, but now there is more gas and more steel.” said Xu Yan, a professor at the National Defense University. No matter in the past, present or future, China can demonstrate its institutional and spiritual advantages. No force can shake China’s status. Power can stop China from advancing, and the Chinese nation will be able to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and achieve the great cause of rejuvenation.

(Subheading) Accurately grasp the historical trend

  After the unprecedented tragic end of World War II, human society was at a crossroads and faced the historical question of "where to go".

  The founding of the People's Republic of China not only means that Chinese history has entered a new era, but also changed the development process of world history. It itself is the result of accurately grasping the general trend of human history.

  The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and its great victory was a manifesto of New China standing in the east of the world, and an important milestone for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It profoundly influenced the shaping of the strategic pattern of Asia and the world after World War II, and strongly promoted the cause of world peace and human progress. .

  Now, human beings are standing at the crossroads again.

  The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea 70 years ago made it clear that justice must triumph over power and peaceful development is unstoppable. Only by moving in the right historical direction, avoiding any form of "new cold war" and military conflicts, and seeking win-win cooperation, can we promote the peace and stability of human society. , Development and progress.

  Volunteer Army veteran Ju Wanchang said that the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has shown the world that China is a powerful force that opposes hegemony, defends peace, upholds justice, and stands up to the forefront.

  An international background of the Korean War was the Cold War confrontation between the two major political and military blocs. The two ideological countries of capitalism and socialism regarded each other as enemies.

At present, some Western politicians who stick to the Cold War mentality are trying to provoke a "new cold war" with China against the trend of the times.

  Liu Jianfei, Dean of the International Strategic Research Institute of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that the comparison of ideology and the vitality of social systems does not depend on containment, attack, containment, blockade, pressure, and smear, but on the national governance system and governance capabilities. The level of modernization.

  "Certain Western politicians must abandon the Cold War mentality and power politics, otherwise they will inevitably suffer new defeats." Liu Jianfei said, "The New Cold War" is not in line with the theme of the era of peace and development. China will not join or accept the "New Cold War" and continue. Hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit.

(Subheading) Building a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind amidst major changes

  Volunteer soldiers with steel guns stood upright, 70 beams of golden light burst out, and peace doves, water patterns, five stars, and laurel leaves were tightly surrounded to form the five-petal shape of Jindalai flowers.

  The "70th Anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' Fighting Abroad to Fight the United States and Aid Korea" symbolizes a just battle to defend peace and resist aggression. It demonstrates China's determination and confidence in defying strong enemies, maintaining world peace, and building a community with a shared future for mankind.

  The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and the global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the evolution of this major change. Economic globalization has encountered a countercurrent, protectionism and unilateralism have risen, the world economy is in a downturn, and international trade and investment have shrunk sharply. The international landscape has undergone profound adjustments, and the world has entered a period of turbulent change.

  Liu Jianfei said that in the face of the severe international situation, the "Chinese plan" for building a new type of international relations and building a community with a shared future for mankind is more clear and more important.

  The rapid rise of China's national power and world influence has caused some Western countries to fall into "collective panic", and some politicians are confined to old theories and Cold War thinking, and have made "geo-strategic conflicts will be inevitable" and "fateful conflicts between rising powers and conservative powers" judgment.

  China advocates the construction of a new type of international relations, with "mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation" as the main connotation. It is a new plan to promote the reform of the global governance system in a fair and reasonable direction.

It transcends the 400-year-old old international relations of “power politics, discrimination and exclusion, and zero-sum game”.

  China's promotion of building a community with a shared future for mankind is to "build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness and tolerance, clean and beautiful."

This transcends the differences among nations, cultures, countries, parties, and systems, and is in line with the common values ​​of all mankind and the general trend of world history.

  Liu Jianfei said that some Western politicians stick to the Cold War mentality and cannot solve the spread of the epidemic and political and economic contradictions, and it is also not conducive to all countries in the world to overcome the difficulties.

Just like 70 years ago, attempts to piece together an "anti-China alliance" will not succeed.

  "War must not be forgotten, and influence must not be forgotten. Some Western politicians should stop making strategic misjudgments like 70 years ago, and should not underestimate the will, determination and strength of the Chinese people." Liu Jianfei said.
