War remembered for peace, future: Hu

    Victory has great impact on other countries    

    The victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had a great impact on the great cause of the people in other countries to win the victory of the Anti-Fascist War and to safeguard world peace, said President Hu.

    "For a long time, we Chinese contained and pinned down the mainforces of Japanese militarism in the China Theater, and annihilated more than 1.5 million Japanese troops," said Hu when delivering a speech marking the 60th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggressors and fascists during the World War II.

    "This played a decisive role in the total defeat of Japanese aggressors," he said.

    The war of resistance, according to Hu, lent a strategic support to battles of China's allies, assisted the strategic operations in the Europe and Pacific theaters, and restrained and disrupted the attempt of Japanese, German and Italian Fascists to coordinate their strategic operations.

    "As a major rear base of the Allied Forces against Japan in the Asia-Pacific region, China provided its allies with a great deal of strategic material and military intelligence," he said.

    He said the war constitutes a glorious page in the history of the World Anti-Fascist War, for it broke out much earlier and lasted the longest.

    "The victory of the war in China sets a shining example of the weak vanquishing the strong for the people all over the world and boosted the confidence and morale of the oppressed and victimized nations to carry on their liberation wars," he said.
