A military symposium was held in Beijing on Tuesday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, addressed the symposium, urging the armed forces to remember that a nation can only be secure if it has a strong military.
He emphasized three key areas:
- Strengthening the Partys absolute leadership over the armed forces.
- Enhancing combat readiness through reforms.
- Accelerating national defense and military modernization with technological innovation and improved governance.
Zhang also called for safeguarding the postWWII international order, building a community with a shared future for humanity and maintaining the Chinese mainlands role as a steadfast force for world peace.
For tech innovators and business enthusiasts, these priorities hint at new opportunities in defense technology and collaboration. Young global citizens are reminded that historical victories can inform modern debates on security and innovation. Thought leaders may find fresh inspiration in calls for a shared future, while travelers and digital nomads can watch how these developments shape the world stage.
As the Chinese mainland charts its course toward modern defense, the 80th anniversary serves not just as a reflection on the past, but as a springboard for tomorrows global partnerships and peacebuilding efforts.
