During the Second world war, the resistance of China was the main theatre of war against Japanese fascism, as well as the chief theater of operations of world war II in the East. The Chinese people suffered huge sacrifices for Victory during the Second world war, making a huge contribution to its achievement. Anti-Japanese war began in September 1931 and ended in August of 1945, it lasted 14 years. Japanese fascism invaded China not only for the complete destruction of the country, but, more importantly, the Japanese army planned to use China as a “springboard” or “trampoline” for the invasion of the Soviet Union in the North and advance to the Pacific coast in the South, as well as expansion external expansion and domination in Asia and around the world. Japanese fascism was the enemy of not only the Chinese people but also the common enemy of the peoples of the Asia-Pacific region and even the Nations of the world. According to incomplete statistics, during the anti-Japanese war, China suffered over 35 million people, the death toll had reached 21 million. In the result of hard struggle, the Chinese people drew the main forces of the enemy in the vast abyss of “people’s war”, during which were destroyed 1.5 million of the Japanese invaders, approximately 70% of the losses of the Japanese in world war II. It is the resistance of China has played a crucial role in the complete destruction of the Japanese invaders, was of great strategic importance in achieving Victory in world war II, other regions of the world. The head of the USSR I. V. Stalin wrote that “only in the case when hands and feet the Japanese invaders are connected, it is possible to avoid military operations on two fronts during the German attack on the Soviet Union”.
Since the beginning of anti-Japanese war, the government and the people of the Soviet Union provided financial, personnel and technical assistance to the government and people of China. Especially in the first period of the war, from 1937 to 1941 the Soviet Union was the only country that has provided direct military assistance to China. Soviet assistance included $ 170 million, 1,200 aircraft, 1317 guns, and a large number of weapons, ammunition and oil. The Soviet Union also sent to China more than 5 thousand military advisers to assist in the conduct of military training, many of the military advisers took part in the battles. The famous squadron of Soviet volunteer pilots took part in the battles for the defense of Nanjing, Wuhan, Chongqing, Chengdu, Lanzhou and other cities, destroyed 1049 Japanese planes struck a heavy blow on air forces of Japan, effectively suppressed their barbaric bombing of the Chinese rear, in battles of more than 200 Soviet pilots gave their lives. In the late period of anti-Japanese war, the Soviet Union sent military units for the defeat of the Kwantung army, which played an important role in achieving the final victory over Japanese fascism, led to the surrender of Japan. Assistance to the Soviet Union during the anti-Japanese war is largely supported by China, the Chinese people will never forget the friendship sealed with blood.
the Second world war – an unprecedented disaster in the history of mankind. Being the main theatres of war in Asia and Europe, Russia and China suffered huge losses, made a huge immortal contribution to the achievement of final victory in the Second world war and the salvation of mankind. This period in history should be remembered forever. One should guard against distortion of history of the Second world war and the denial of the historical contribution of the Soviet Union and China. These steps some countries emanating from the ideological bias, the mentality of the cold war and pragmatic political interests, not morality, is fundamentally unacceptable and unforgivable. In 2015, the eve of the 70th anniversary of Victory in world war II China and Russia issued a joint statement, which stressed: “In the world there are some forces that make constant attempts to deny history, distort the outcome of the Second world war and the decisions of the international military Tribunal at Nuremberg and the Tribunal for the Far East, against such steps are necessary to Express a decisive protest.” During the Second world war, the Soviet Union and other countries actively contributed to the establishment of the international anti-Hitler coalition, for the first time in human history, the forces of truth have teamed up to defeat a common evil. After the war the formation of the United Nations was the formation of the modern international relations and international order, defining directions of development of the world – from chaos to order. All this was not easy. The denial of the history of the Second world war will inevitably lead to the collapse of international order and repetition of chaos world war. Some politicians, based on their personal interests, are not considered with the true course of history, at its discretion, give out black for white, these ignorant and unscrupulous approaches should be subjected to condemnation from Nations around the world in calling for peace.
the Peoples of China and Russia, fighting shoulder to shoulder, has laid the ties of a great friendship, which to this day is an inexhaustible powerful driving force for the development of Chinese-Russian relations and strengthening of friendship between the two peoples from generation to generation. As said the President XI Jinping during a telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin: “As the main Victor countries in world war II and permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and Russia are on the shoulders of special m��the Russia to maintain world peace and promote development and progress of mankind. China is ready to join with Russia firmly stand for the end of the Second world war, to maintain international impartiality and justice, to support and implement the multilateralism, the parties must be the eternal world creators around the world to contribute to global development and to protect the international order.”
global pandemic coronavirus infection was another serious challenge and scourge of mankind after the Second world war. The governments and peoples of China and Russia again helped and supported each other, persistently overcoming all obstacles, he reveals the world sample of bilateral relations. The international community must develop and inherit the spirit of the world struggle against fascism, to work, to exercise the common will and mutual support, actively putting into practice the concept of a global community of a shared destiny that, by combining our efforts together to achieve victory in the battle for the safety of life and health of people all over the world.
