Against the backdrop of ongoing tensions between the United States and China, CPC General Secretary Xi Jinping led seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee and other senior officials, including Vice President Wang Qishan, to visit an exhibition on “Resisting the United States and Helping North Korea,” a high-profile commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Analysts say the authorities are trying to brag to the public that they defeated the United States with weakness and strength.
Xi Jinping went to the Chinese People’s Revolutionary Military Museum to visit the “Remembering the Great Victory, Defending Peace and Justice – Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army’s Anti-US Aid to the DPRK War,” the official Chinese media Xinhua News Agency reported Monday evening.
Xi said that 70 years ago, in order to defend peace and resist aggression, the Chinese Party and government resolutely made the historic decision to resist the U.S. and aid the DPRK and defend the country, and that the Chinese People’s Volunteers “held high the banner of justice” and won the victory together with the Korean people and army, “making great contributions to world peace and the cause of human progress.
The government’s high-profile commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Korean War has a number of reasons: “One reason for the high-profile commemoration of the anti-American aid to the DPRK is because Chinese people talk about every fifth or tenth anniversary, and this is the 70th anniversary, so it’s normal to commemorate it. The second reason is to encourage the spirit of the Chinese people’s so-called resistance to the U.S. and aid to the North, which means they are not afraid of strong enemies or the United States.”
Xi Jinping stressed that the war “forged the great spirit of anti-Americanism and aid to the DPRK, which is a precious spiritual wealth that will inspire the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to overcome all hardships and obstacles and defeat all powerful enemies.
Commemoration of the Korean War boasted that “the weak defeated the strong” against multi-national siege
Cha said Beijing’s message to the U.S. was clear: “The message to the U.S. is also clear, because the anti-U.S. aid to North Korea is actually a war that North Korea started first, with the U.N. counter-attacking,” he said. The U.S. had no intention of invading China, as China was defending its country with the so-called “defense of the country” (by entering North Korea). At that time, China was weak and the U.S. and other U.N. forces were strong, so China is now transmitting this spirit.”
Cha added that China is using the so-called war against the U.S. to help North Korea to send a message to its citizens: “Even though I am weak, I am not afraid of you being strong, so let’s carry forward this spirit. This intention should also be clear.”
The official media mentioned that seven members of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Wang Qishan all visited the exhibition. Wang Qishan made his first public appearance after the “fall” of his close associate Dong Hong. Wang Huning, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, said in his speech at the opening of the exhibition in the morning that the exhibition “fully demonstrates the firm determination of the Chinese people to maintain peace despite violence, and inspires us to join the great cause of strengthening the country and the army in the new era.
CCTV Korean War Documentary Distorts History
Starting this week, the CPC Military Commission approved the production of six episodes of “anti-American aid to the DPRK” documentaries, “Justice Bears”, “Death Match”, “Blood Burst”, “Hymn of Heroes”, “All Hands One Heart” and “Great Victory”, each episode of 50 minutes, to be broadcast on CCTV. However, scholars believe that the above documentaries do not correspond to the historical truth.
In the past, once a domestic crisis occurred, the authorities would blame the hostile forces outside the country to arouse the people’s indignation. Old-fashioned.”
According to public records, in the early morning of June 25, 1950, with massive Soviet assistance, Kim Il Sung ordered the Korean People’s Army (KPA) to launch a surprise attack and within four hours to break through the Korean lines and drive straight to Seoul.On June 27, President Truman issued a statement announcing U.S. troop deployment to the Korean Peninsula and the Seventh Fleet’s presence in the Taiwan Strait to thwart the PLA’s attack on Taiwan.
Disparity in the death toll between volunteers and UN troops.
On October 29, 2014, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the General Political Department of mainland China confirmed that there were 197,653 martyrs of the “anti-American aid to the DPRK”. A total of 57,606 U.N. troops were killed, including 36,570 U.S. troops.
The Hong Kong daily Sing Tao disclosed that on the 25th of this month, Beijing will hold a high-profile commemorative event, in which Xi Jinping will personally participate, and for the first time will award a commemorative medal for the “70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ anti-American aid to the DPRK”. Some scholars argue that, in terms of the death toll, China suffered heavy losses in the Korean War and did not win.
