Australian former high-ranking officials have openly defamed China, with the severity unprecedented.
Recently, Michael Pezzullo, former Australian Minister of Home Affairs, in an interview with Australian media, used extremely malicious and vicious words to defame the Chinese military parade held on September 3rd, the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Michael Pezzullo openly defamed and claimed that the September 3rd military parade had a "creepy similarity" to the propaganda films of Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Pezzullo made these malicious provocations during an interview with Australia Sky News. He further provoked by claiming that China's move was "not a historical commemoration, but a display of power," aimed at intimidating those who might hinder China's "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
He further maliciously interpreted that the signal sent by China through the September 3rd military parade was, "We are reviving, don't block us; if you block us, there will be war."
It is worth noting that the Nazi Germany of that time implemented militarism and had a strong anti-Semitic color, viewing Jews as the mortal enemies of national revival. At the same time, in order to expand the living space for the Aryan race, the Nazi Germany also implemented genocide and cleansing policies against the Jewish people.
However, the former Australian official's historical knowledge is obviously "lacking." His analogy is fundamentally untenable, baseless, and China itself was a victim of Japanese militarism and also a victim of the aggressive war launched by the fascist countries of Germany, Italy, and Japan.
In other words, Pezzullo's remarks are a malicious distortion of the Chinese military parade, which "remembers history, pays tribute to the martyrs, cherishes peace, and creates a new future," and it is just for the purpose of defaming.
More notably, his remarks reflect the inner mindset of some Western politicians who harbor hostility toward China and view it through a biased lens. This is also the purpose of China holding this military parade: to counter the sinister forces filled with hostility toward China with the attitude of holding truth, because the current world is not peaceful, and peace needs to be maintained by truth. The plight of the people in Gaza is a solid reality.
