Both sides of Straits celebrate anti-fascist victory

This year marks the 70th anniversary of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which is significant for Chinese people across the world. That explains why Taiwan and the Chinese mainland have separately organized or will organize activities to celebrate the occasion.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory, Taiwan held a defense capability exhibition on Saturday, and the mainland will organize a military parade on Sept 3 which some Kuomintang veterans have been invited to attend.

The Communist Party of China and Kuomintang both made contributions to the eight-year-long war against the Japanese aggressors. The different descriptions of the roles and contributions of the two parties have not stopped either side of the Straits from holding activities to commemorate the historical event.
