China: 81st Anniversary Commemorated of Victory Against Japanese Aggression! (4.9.2026)

When at school in the UK during the 1970s – we were falsely informed that there was something “special” about the Japanese (our former enemy) and this is why its economy was rapidly growing (we were also told to practice Japanese martial arts – aggessive arts used against our soldiers during WWII). All lies and manipulation. Japan was given free US money so that its oppressed people would not resort to a Socialist path. The US still pays for Japan to operate a completely “free” healthcare system – and for the same reason. The war in China lasted between 1931-1945 – with the US openly assisting the ruling Nationalist China from 1941 onwards. From 1928 onwards – the US assisted the Nationalists behind the scenes to attack the Communist Forces (which were supported by the USSR) wherever they formed in the Chinese hinterland. During 1941-1945 there was a loose truce between between the Communists and Nationalists – when US pilots volunteered (the “Flying Tigers”) to assist the Nationalist Forces. As the Americans and the Nationalists could not defeat the Imperial Japanese – the US requested that the Soviet Red Army enter into China and take-on the invader. The Soviet Red Army took around three–weeks to completely over-run and destroy the Imperial Japanese Forces in Manchuria. The Soviets then handed this vast liberated area over to the Communists – together with all the captured arms and industry. This was a pivotal boost to the Communist cause – with Mao Zedong then inflicting one defeat after another on the US-backed Nationalist Forces. This resulted in the US supporting the Nationalist invasion of Taiwan – an atrocity that many know nothing about.

China: Nanjing Exhibition – Resumption of Mainland Sovereignty Over Taiwan! (15.10.2025)

Beyond conventional displays, the exhibition features specialized sections on maritime culture, historical maps, and Geng Lu Bu (ancient sea route manuals). It also incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) technology to offer immersive experiences of the South China Sea’s historical and cultural heritage.

The core value of the exhibition lies not only in demonstrating China’s historical proposition and legal basis on the South China Sea issue and Taiwan question but also in helping teachers and students understand history and draw spiritual strength, said Zhu Feng, executive director of Nanjing University’s Collaborative Innovation Center of South China Sea Studies.

“Only by clearly understanding the humiliations and struggles of the past can we more profoundly grasp the importance of safeguarding national sovereignty, which serves as the foundation for facing the future and building lasting peace,” he added.
