The West Seeks to Distort the Truth About WW2: Putin<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTurk, now a professor of international law, said while the world usually regards Sept. 1, 1939 as the start of World War II, atrocities began earlier in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChina had many victims in the Second World War and was among the first victims of aggression, long before the war in Europe began,\u201d he said. \u201cChina\u2019s contribution to the defeat of Japan and the end of the war remains insufficiently understood, and this historical mistake should be corrected, even 80 years later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflecting on the war\u2019s broader significance, Turk said China was both a victim of Japanese militarism and a key contributor to its defeat. More should be done to raise global awareness of China\u2019s wartime contribution, he said, noting that it is a long-term task that requires cooperation among historians, writers and filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYoung people need to know history. Much has to be done in popular culture, particularly film production, so that the memory of that era is preserved,\u201d Turk said and highlighted China\u2019s constructive role in safeguarding peace and promoting multilateralism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world should take the Global Governance Initiative proposed by China seriously, he said, adding that its five core concepts \u2014 adhering to sovereign equality, abiding by the international rule of law, practicing multilateralism, advocating a people-centered approach, and focusing on taking real actions \u2014 are all very important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChina has sufficient power, self-assurance and wisdom to avoid unnecessary conflicts. It is developing economically and enlarging the circle of cooperation, which makes it well placed to explain how it sees the world today and how it wants the world to be organized in the future,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
