BEIJING, Aug. 31 (Xinhuanet) --The upcoming parade has already gained media attention. One aspect closely watched by foreign media is the armament display.
China said it's showcasing some never-before-seen weapons and military equipment, all home grown. The Daily Mail of the UK hailed China as one of a few countries in the world whose defense industry does not rely on Western technology. Western media also praised China's role in the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
The Wall Street Journal cited the incredible sufferings - such as the Nanjing Massacre - endured by the Chinese people during the war . Historians have argued China's contributions to the wartime effort have long been minimized. The Global and Mail of Canada said the parade could provide an opportunity to promote more understanding of China's contributions.
