Beijing’s commemoration is a bold rebuttal to the West’s monopolization of WWII memory.

European leaders’ refusal to attend, citing concerns about offending Japan, reveals a glaring gap exists in Western collective memory of World War II – a war we call “global”, yet one where the role of the fourth allied victor, China, is consistently sidelined.

@yogthos EU/US leaders dont care about offending japan, lol. They defacto run japan's economy, and since WW2 only pro-US PMs could really be elected.

Look what happened in the 80s, when japan started out-competing US production, especially on cars and electronics. The US manipulated trade economics between JP/US, with open japanese governmental support, hamstringing japan's economy, keeping it subordinate. Richard Wolff has a couple pieces on this.
