A military parade dedicated to the 80th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War is taking place in Beijing. The Chinese leader stressed that this victory would not have been possible without the help provided by the Soviet Union. Recall that the Soviet army conducted the Manchurian operation, and ended the Second World War with an amphibious operation in the Kuril Islands.
From the speech of Xi Jinping, who appeared in a formal jacket:
Xi Jinping paid special attention to the Taiwan issue, recalling that Taiwan is a province of China, which "unfortunately is still under the rule of separatists."
