CCP Using Massive WW2 Parade to Propel False Historical Narrative, Analysts Say

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has held two large rehearsals for a massive military parade in Beijing on Sept. 3 to mark the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender, ending World War II.

Analysts say the CCP is using the parade to push false claims that it led the fighting against Japan’s invasion on China during the war rather than the Republic of China (ROC) government, which at the time ruled China.
