Donald Trump has not liked the fuels in China in memory at the end of World War II, 80 years ago, in which Xi Jinping has claimed as a global power. Thus, the US president has published on his social networks: “The big question to answer is whether the Chinese president, XI, will mention or not the enormous support and 'blood' that the United States of America gave to China to help her ensure her freedom against a very hostile foreign invader.”
“Many Americans died in China's fight for victory and glory,” said Trump, in reference to open hostilities against Japan, who had invaded China in 1931, after the attack by Pearl Harbor, ten years later, in 1941. “I hope they are honored and remembered as they deserve for their courage and sacrifice,” Trump President XI and the wonderful town of China have a great and lasting day of celebration.
The meeting takes place two weeks after Trump met with Putin in Alaska, at a summit that did not end up the way for the end of the war in Ukraine, unleashed after the Russian invasion in February 2022.
The military parade that China commemorated on Wednesday the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific concluded after an hour and a half of exhibition of troops, weapons and air formations in the Plaza de Tiananmen, in the center of Beijing, reports Efe.
The Chinese president, Xi Jinping, presided over the act accompanied in the gallery by the Russian leaders, Vladimir Putin, and North Korean, Kim Jong-un, main guests of a ceremony attended around thirty foreign leaders.
During the act, Xi proclaimed that the Chinese people made a “great contribution to save human civilization and defend world peace” and warned that humanity again confront the dilemma between “peace or war, dialogue or confrontation.”
The parade included about 45 formations of veterans and modern units of the popular liberation army, as well as the presentation of new missiles and drones, which served XI to show their military advances in a moment of tensions with the US Taiwan.
Kim, with her daughter
The North Korean leader traveled to the Chinese capital accompanied by his daughter, according to photos disseminated by the state agency KCNA, on which he is speculated could be his successor.
Kim Jong-un arrived at Beijing on Tuesday to attend the military parade of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific.
It is believed that the young woman, who has not been officially revealed age or name, could be called Kim Ju-Ae, and was next to her father at an official reception made by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, in the Chinese capital, according to the South Korean agency Yonhap, EFE reports.
The presence of the daughter of the North Korean leader in public events has been increasing, which has led to the National Intelligence Service of South Korea to think that it could be its successor, although they do not rule out that there are other possibilities.
The young woman was in 2023 with her father and mother, Ri Sol-Ju, in the gallery from where they witnessed a military parade on the occasion of the anniversary of the creation of the country's army, in which in addition to soldiers, ballistic missiles of intercontinental scope (ICBM) and tactical nuclear weapons were exhibited.
He also appeared in state media for the first time on November 19, 2022, when he accompanied his father to witness the test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). South Korean intelligence experts then aimed that it could be Kim's median daughter.
Seoul believes that Kim and his wife had three children around 2010, 2013 and 2017.
After one of his visits to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong-un, the former American basketball player Dennis Rodman said publicly in 2013 that he took “his daughter Ju-Ae”, a baby at the time.
XI, Putin and Modi
Trump's message also comes just after China, Russia and India staged on Sunday and Monday the growing narrowing of ties between the three powers during the XXV Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (OCS), Regional Forum for Collaboration in Economic and Security Matters.
In the meeting, the growing cordiality of China and India, historic regional rivals that have left their territorial disputes – the disagreement in the demarcation of borders causes recurrent skirmishes in the Himalayas – and economic to show tune before the first military power.
The current approach coincides with Trump's decision to impose a 50% tariff on Indian exports in retaliation for their purchases of Russian crude oil, a measure that has pushed India to explore greater regional cooperation.
In his Sunday speech, XI defended that China and India must be “partners and non -rival”, while Modi said that bilateral cooperation can make the “century of Asia.” The Chinese leader stressed that both countries are “two great oriental civilizations” and the most populated states on the planet, so they must assume together a “historical responsibility” in defense of multilateralism and international justice.
Modi, on the other hand, stressed that India and China defend strategic autonomy and independent foreign policy, with relationships that should not be influenced by third parties.
