Abstract

The article focuses on Chinese plans to commemorate the end of the second world war in 1945 with a huge military parade in Beijing in September of 2015. It states that the parade will be the first time China commemorates the war with a show of military force instead of a solemn ceremony and suggests the symbolism will unsettle other East Asian nations. It suggests the demonization of Japan is unfair as Japan is largely pacifistic and warns that nationalist animosity cannot always be controlled.
