At the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, Lt. Gen. He Lei, former vice president of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences, reminded attendees that the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War victory is more than a historical milestone—it’s a call to safeguard the global order established after World War II.
He emphasized that opposing hegemonism and power politics is essential to preserve a rules-based international system. History shows that unchecked power can undermine peace and security.
Turning to modern challenges, Lt. Gen. He Lei encouraged the People's Liberation Army to take an active role in United Nations missions, suggesting that PLA participation in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations can reinforce global stability and foster trust among nations.
These insights resonate with young global citizens and tech entrepreneurs alike. In a world where emerging markets, startups, and sustainable travel depend on stable international frameworks, protecting the post-WWII order is key to unlocking future opportunities.
Whether you’re a digital nomad exploring new cultures or a changemaker advocating for human rights, this 80th-anniversary reminder highlights the ongoing value of cooperation. The next generation’s commitment to shared rules will shape the horizon of global connectivity.
