US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday after Beijing hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at a military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Xi, Putin and Kim of plotting against the United States, while lacing his remarks with sarcasm. He questioned whether China would acknowledge the American soldiers who sacrificed their lives during World War II to help free the country from Japanese occupation.
“The big question to be answered is whether or not President Xi of China will mention the massive amount of support and “blood” that The United States of America gave to China in order to help it to secure its FREEDOM from a very unfriendly foreign invader,” Trump wrote, adding that many Americans died for China’s ‘Victory and Glory’.
He further expressed hope that people would ‘rightfully honour and remember’ their bravery.
In a pointed closing remark, Trump quipped, “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Symbolic Parade in Beijing
World leaders attended the grand military parade in Beijing, where China showcased its close ties with Russia and North Korea.
Footage from the event showed Xi warmly greeting Putin, while Kim Jong Un shook hands with the Chinese leader in a rare appearance abroad.
The gathering followed the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin, where Xi and Putin reaffirmed their commitment to deepening their strategic partnership.
The parade itself marked eight decades since the end of World War II, an event that holds deep significance in Chinese history given the nation’s heavy losses during its war against Japan.
During the Second World War, the United States and China stood as allies against imperial Japan. However, relations shifted dramatically in the Cold War era and have continued to deteriorate in recent years over trade disputes, technology restrictions and geopolitical rivalry.
Trump’s remarks underscore how Washington is closely scrutinising military symbolism and diplomatic alliances in Beijing, further straining already tense US-China ties.
