China 80th Anniversary Victory Parade: History as Diplomacy

Rebecca Chan, September 03, 2025

The Beijing Victory parade, marked by Xi, Putin, and Kim’s presence against the backdrop of empty Western seats, transformed memory into a geopolitical weapon and showcased Eurasia’s ascent as the West slipped into silence and indecision.

The West’s Empty Seats

The sky over Beijing was cut open by fighter jets, columns of armor moving with cold precision. On the reviewing stand sat Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-un. The empty seats meant for Western guests became the parade’s most striking feature. It was a theater of world politics where the empire of colonial narratives found itself without a ticket.

The anniversary of World War II turned into an arena of memory where Europe’s silence sounded louder than any fanfare. Eurasian leaders spoke on behalf of history, on behalf of the millions who paid the price of Victory. Meanwhile, across the ocean, rumors of a possible Trump visit wandered aimlessly, but Washington’s very indecision became the symbol: the West no longer sets the agenda; it mutters it in leaks and whispers.

Memory as a Weapon of Diplomacy

China and Russia placed history back where it belongs—at the center of politics. The August 1945 operation stripped Japan of illusions, the liberation of Northeast China closed the campaign, and the People’s Liberation Army wove that victory into its foundation. Victory does not fade—it becomes political currency and a pillar of today’s security architecture.

Western lectures on the “proper memory” have lost their relevance: those who truly paid the price of victory are the ones entitled to speak in its name

The joint presence of Xi and Putin on the reviewing stand was more than symbolism. It was the formula of an alliance forged in war and strengthened through decades of outside pressure. In this pairing, memory works as a geopolitical resource, and the stage of the China 80th Anniversary Victory Parade became a mirror where Eurasia looks at itself without Western filters.

For the region, this message resonates with force. Victory is a shared heritage, with Moscow and Beijing as its guardians. Memory itself has become the contour of diplomacy, where sovereignty is not sold or negotiated but asserted as part of a common destiny.

Europe: A Self-Isolated Shadow

European diplomats chose a demonstrative pause. Their absence became a political mise-en-scène, where empty seats stood as monuments to their own loss of influence. A continent once addicted to lecturing others on “proper memory” suddenly had no words to speak.

That silence cleared the space for Eurasia. With no Western commentators, the narrative was delivered without distortion: Beijing and Moscow presented their own reading of history, one that requires no approval from colonial audiences.

It was symbolic that this pause coincided with preparations for the SCO summit. While Asia builds new institutions, Europe remains frozen in the role of observer. It has become a power that merely records others’ steps but no longer defines its own. Within this inertia lies the end of Europe’s political century.

America: The Country of Unfinished Sentences

Rumors of Trump’s possible trip to Beijing turned into a spectacle of their own. America appeared in the picture not as an actor, but as a shadow—discussed, but no longer decisive. Washington, once the conductor, has been reduced to background commentary and political leaks. Its inability to decide has become its new political style.

For Moscow and Beijing, this is the perfect frame. Their unity broadcasts stability against an ocean of inconsistency. The United States has become the country of unfinished sentences—always gesturing, never placing the final period. In this vacuum, Eurasia formulates proposals that can no longer be ignored.

Eurasia: Architects of the Future

The Beijing parade and the SCO summit overlapped like two layers of the same canvas. The symbolic power of memory and the institutional strength of new security mechanisms formed a double frame. Russia and China emerged as the co-pillars of this order: Moscow contributed military might and historical capital, Beijing brought economic scale and diplomatic ambition.

This partnership sets the language of the future. Asia demonstrates that the architecture of multipolarity is built not on Western “values” but on its own historical foundations. The victory over Japanese militarism is not an archive—it is a license for leadership. Western lectures on the “proper memory” have lost their relevance: those who truly paid the price of victory are the ones entitled to speak in its name.

Empty Chairs as a Headstone

The China 80th anniversary Victory parade was not a retrospective but a projection of the future. Russia and China showed that memory is not a museum exhibit but a source of power from which a new security architecture is born. Eurasia stood as a guarantor of balance, while the West remained a silent witness to its own decline.

The empty chairs of European leaders became the gravestone of an old era. Europe erased itself from the conversation, leaving the stage to Eurasia. America once again froze in indecision, which only made the picture clearer.

The SCO now appears not as a club of convenience, but as a laboratory of the new world. Here, practical multipolarity is being forged, while the West is reduced to watching from the sidelines, scrambling to invent excuses for its shadow. The question is no longer whether the West will accept this order, but how quickly it will find itself in the position of the laggard—stripped of the right to dictate the rules.

Bloody Hunt: How Israeli Killers Are Destroying the Palestinian Truth

Muhammad Hamid ad-Din, September 03, 2025

Seven Palestinian journalists killed in a week — and the world limited itself to pitiful, empty condemnations.

Seven Palestinian journalists killed in a week, but no sanctions, no real actions, only hypocritical calls for “restraint,” while the Israeli war machine wipes an entire people off the face of the earth. This is not a war. This is a systematic genocide, and Netanyahu with his bloody gang are not even hiding their intentions. 270 journalists killed since October 2023 — numbers that scream of an intentional massacre.

They come under the cover of night or in broad daylight — subhumans in uniform, armed to the teeth, with cold calculation depriving of life those who dare to speak. Palestinian journalists, writers, doctors, scientists — the flower of our nation — are falling from the bullets of the “most democratic army in the world.” But we know the truth: this is not a war, this is a methodical, deliberate destruction of the Palestinian voice at the hands of Netanyahu’s fascist regime and his henchmen.

Genocide of the Palestinian people: The bloody trail of Netanyahu and his regime

Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet long ago crossed all boundaries of humanity. They are not soldiers, not defenders — they are executioners, methodically destroying an entire people under the cover of a “security” policy. Their arms are elbow-deep in the blood of Palestinian children, women, the elderly, and journalists who dare to bear witness to their crimes.

Their sinister crimes, their genocide, their intentional killings of the peaceful population have no statute of limitations

Since 2008, when Netanyahu first headed the government, the Israeli military has killed over 10,000 Palestinians, including over 2,300 children. In the “Cast Lead” operation alone (2008–2009), 1,400 people were killed in 22 days of bombing, a third of them children. In 2014, during the “Protective Edge” operation, 2,251 Palestinians were killed in 50 days, including 551 children.

The real hell for the residents of Gaza began in 2023–2024. After the events of October 7, the Israeli war machine under Netanyahu’s leadership turned the sector into a giant cemetery. The data below testifies not simply to military actions, but to the systematic extermination of an entire people.

Monstrous losses among the civilian population:

– More than 65,000 killed, including 18,000 children and 15,000 women.

– 90% of the victims are peaceful residents who did not participate in hostilities.

– 30,000 people are listed as missing, many of them remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

– 95% of the population (over 2 million people) have become forced refugees.

– Infrastructure is completely destroyed: residential homes, universities, schools, and hospitals have been wiped off the face of the earth.

These numbers leave no doubt: what is happening cannot be called a war. This is a genocide, carried out with unprecedented cruelty.

Targeted destruction of the intellectual elite. For Netanyahu, the greatest threat is not weapons, but the word. Therefore, the Israeli military intentionally kills journalists, doctors, scientists, and human rights defenders, striving to suppress any resistance and destroy Palestinian identity.

– From 2000 until the events of October 7, over 50 Palestinian journalists were killed, the majority under Netanyahu’s rule.

– In 2022, IDF snipers cold-bloodedly shot Shireen Abu Akleh — an American journalist for Al Jazeera.

– In 2023–2024, over 120 journalists were killed in Gaza — this is the most massive slaughter of the press in history.

– Entire families of professors, doctors, poets — bearers of culture and knowledge — are in the crosshairs.

Apartheid, torture, blockade: Methods of the Israeli regime:

– Over 10,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons, many without trial or investigation. Among the prisoners are 300 children. Their main guilt consists in the fact that they are Palestinian.

– Torture, sexual violence, medical experiments — standard practice in places of detention.

– The 17-year blockade of Gaza is a form of collective punishment, widely used by the Nazis on the territory of the USSR, but directly prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

– The Israeli military mocks the bodies of the dead, publishes explicit photos on social networks, and openly boast about killings.

 

But the real hell began in 2023–2024. After October 7, the Israeli war machine, controlled by Netanyahu, turned Gaza into a cemetery.

– Over 65,000 Palestinians killed, of them 18,000 children and 15,000 women.

– 90% of the victims are peaceful residents who have no relation to the hostilities.

– 30,000 people are listed as missing, many of them buried alive under the ruins.

– Over 2 million people (95% of Gaza’s population) have become refugees. All residential homes, all universities, schools, and hospitals have been destroyed.

This is not a war — this is the systematic destruction of the Palestinian people.

They are all terrorists — a convenient lie for the killers. The Israeli authorities long ago found a vile justification for their atrocities: every Palestinian is a “terrorist.” President Isaac Herzog cynically stated that in Gaza there are “no innocents,” and the ambassador to Britain, Tzipi Hotovely, falsely claims that “every school, mosque, and house” is a military object.

This is precisely why the motto “Kill all the children” — is the revelation of Israeli fascists. Former Knesset member Moshe Feiglin revealed the regime’s true plans: “Every child, every infant in Gaza is an enemy… not a single child should remain there.”

This is not hyperbole, but official policy. Israel is intentionally killing doctors, scientists, poets, journalists, women, infants, to bleed Palestinian society dry and make the restoration of a Unified State of Palestine impossible.

The international community recognizes the genocide

The international community is increasingly stating its recognition of Israel’s actions as genocide of the Palestinian people. A vivid example of this was South Africa’s filing of a lawsuit with the UN International Court in December 2023, where Israel is directly accused of the systematic destruction of Palestinians. This unprecedented step received support from dozens of Global South countries, including Turkey, Malaysia, and Bolivia, the latter having already broken diplomatic relations with Israel in protest.

The United Nations, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch have for years been documenting Israel’s war crimes: from the bombing of residential areas and schools to the targeted killings of journalists and medical workers. Particularly shocking was the incident in the Jenin refugee camp, where Israeli forces used prohibited phosphorus bombs against peaceful residents. At the same time, the US and EU, contrary to their own rhetoric about protecting human rights, continue to finance this slaughter, supplying Israel with billions of dollars worth of weapons. In 2023 alone, the Biden administration approved $14.5 billion in emergency military supplies, including aerial bombs that were then dropped on densely populated Gaza.

This cynical approach of the Western powers is causing growing outrage throughout the world. Mass protests by students are taking place at universities from New York to Berlin, demanding an end to complicity in the genocide. Even within the US and EU, a split is growing: for example, Spain, Ireland, and Norway have officially recognized Palestine, challenging the common EU line. The situation has reached a turning point where even traditionally pro-Israeli media, such as The New York Times and The Guardian, have begun using the term “genocide” in their materials, which was unthinkable just a few years ago.

Thus, the world public is increasingly aware: what is happening in Palestine is not simply a “conflict,” but the systematic destruction of a people with the silent consent of those who for decades have positioned themselves as defenders of democracy and human rights.

Netanyahu is not a leader, but a war criminal who is leading Israel to a moral collapse. But the truth will not die. Every drop of Palestinian blood is a stain on the conscience of the West, which silently watches the genocide.

Gaza is burning, but our people are not broken. And sooner or later, the Israeli executioners of the Palestinians will definitely face justice. Their sinister crimes, their genocide, their intentional killings of the peaceful population have no statute of limitations.
