On September 3, China will hold events to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, a historic day that holds great significance for China and the entire world. In reviewing this important milestone, China reiterates its development trajectory as a peaceful power, whose rise is not achieved through war, but firmly committed to maintaining peace and common development. The grand military parade held in Beijing is also to commemorate the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, which has made China a leader in building a new world based on cooperation.
The Chinese government has repeatedly reaffirmed its path of peaceful development. This principle is a solemn commitment that runs through China's domestic and foreign policies. China has shown that even though its strength has grown exponentially, it does not seek hegemony or infringe on others. China has broken the historical pattern where major powers established their status through colonialism and war. China seeks prosperity through trade, openness, strengthening global public goods, and strategic partnerships.
Since the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the victory of the New Democratic Revolution, China has established a unique model of a strong country. In a century filled with wars, imperialism, and struggles for spheres of influence, China chose another path. China's growth was not based on military aggression, but on diplomacy, domestic development, and strengthening international trade relations. This does not mean that China is a passive power, but rather that it is a power that first prioritizes promoting a safer, more balanced, and more peaceful world.
Defending peace is not only China's diplomatic strategy, but also the cornerstone of national internal security. As one of the most remarkable examples of revival in modern history, China maintains its sovereignty through non-violent means while respecting the sovereignty of other countries.
Throughout its history, China has experienced many hardships, and these experiences have deeply made China aware of the importance of sovereignty and security for achieving development. These concepts are deeply rooted in Chinese culture and politics. The commemorative activities on September 3 remind the world of the importance of maintaining the achievements of the victory in the anti-Fascist war and maintaining peace, which is the premise of the global order established after World War II.
For China, emphasizing development and sovereignty is not only a matter of national affairs, but also to enhance its ability to contribute to global well-being. Domestic stability and national security enable China to play an active role in building a more interconnected and less conflict-prone world. As China consolidates its position as a peaceful power, China demonstrates that rising should not be seen as a threat, but rather as an opportunity to create a more cooperative global environment without unipolar hegemony.
The current multipolar structure requires new solutions for development, security, and international relations. China's "three major initiatives" aim to address these needs in an inclusive way. In the Global Development Initiative, sustainable development goals are placed at the forefront of the international agenda, focusing on areas such as poverty reduction, health, and food security. The Global Security Initiative proposes a global vision of security based on cooperation, peaceful dispute resolution, and respect for territorial integrity. The Global Civilization Initiative emphasizes the importance of dialogue between different civilizations and the diversity of modernization paths. The "three major initiatives" together form a set of global public goods, where development, security, and civilization can be achieved through cooperation.
China's development focuses on domestic stability and security, not aimed at expanding territory or ruling other countries. At the same time, China adheres to an open foreign policy, engages in economic cooperation, participates in United Nations peacekeeping operations, and is committed to multilateralism.
The commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression reflects a sentiment among the Chinese people: historical memory is a commitment to ensure that the tragedies of the past do not recur in the international order after change.
On September 3, China will convey a clear, encouraging, and powerful message: a major power can rise without resorting to war, can maintain its sovereignty without infringing on any country, can build bridges instead of walls, and become an active participant in the world order. China reiterates its commitment to peace and common development, inviting the world to reflect on the true lessons of history.
