China honours the role of overseas Chinese in World War II, highlighting memorials and exhibitions that recognise their courage and contributions to the fight against Japanese aggression.
On August 29, China released the fourth list of newly designated memorial facilities and historical sites commemorating the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The list recognises the contributions of overseas Chinese and international anti-fascist forces.
These sites reflect how the Chinese people fought alongside international allies, honouring the immense sacrifices on both frontlines and home fronts.
Joined Hands to Resist Invasion
In addition, China has established over 100 overseas memorials related to the war. More than 30 are in countries including Myanmar, India, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Russia, while over 80 are located in Hong Kong and Macao.
These memorials show that compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and the broader overseas Chinese community united without hesitation to resist invasion and ultimately achieve victory.
Honouring International Anti-Fascist Forces
Recently, exhibitions worldwide have highlighted the role of overseas Chinese and international supporters. They mark the 80th anniversary of China’s victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
