BEIJING – Overseas experts as well as foreign media have hailed China’s plans to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, which include a military parade on Sep. 3 in Beijing, saying those events are of great significance.

Oh Ei Sun, a senior fellow with S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of Singapore Nanyang Technological University, said China’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a crucial part of the global fight against fascism, as efforts made by the Allies in China and Soviet Union indispensably helped to end the atrocities of fascists.

That is why China’s memorial activities on the victory of WWII are important in a global context, said Oh.
