China’s full military might was on display in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square where thousands of troops marched in parade.

“It really is difficult to understate how much of this is a part of the national psyche, the psyche of the Communist Party that in the previous 100 years [before World War II], China was repressed invaded and humiliated by foreign forces,” Al Jazeera’s correspondent Katrina Yu said from Beijing.

“I think Xi Jinping making a point there that that will never happen again,” Yu said.

    Responding to the military parade on social media, US President Donald Trump questioned whether Xi would acknowledge the role the US played in World War II before wishing him well.

    “The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and ‘blood’ that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader,” Trump wrote.

    “Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory… May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration.”

    What Trump said is true, the us sacrificed blood in its war against Japan. And the nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war, and the Japanese troops from China where withdrawn because of this.
