Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un of conspiring against the United States, as they came together in Beijing for a massive military parade marking the 80th anniversary of China’s victory against Japanese aggression in World War II.
In a Truth Social post, the US President said he expects Xi would acknowledge the sacrifices of American soldiers who fought in China during World War II.
Through his post, he also reminded Beijing of the “massive amount of support and blood" that the United States provided.
“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.
“Many Americans died in China’s quest for Victory and Glory. I hope that they are rightfully Honored and Remembered for their Bravery and Sacrifice! May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration."
“Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America," he added.
China on Wednesday unveiled for the first time some of its modern weaponry, including jet fighters, missiles and latest electronic warfare hardware, showcasing its military might.
Twenty-six foreign leaders, including Putin, Kim Jong Un and the leaders from Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Indonesia, Zimbabwe and Central Asian countries attended it.
From India’s neighbourhood, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu were in attendance.
All foreign guests were welcomed by Xi and his wife ,Peng Liyuan.
Xi, Putin and Kim’s presence together in Beijing, especially at a military parade, was seen as an attempt by China to send a strong message to the US and Trump, who tried to woo both Putin and Kim to take them into Washington’s fold.
Their meeting in Beijing followed the high-profile summit of the 10-member Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Tianjin, which was dominated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meetings with Xi and Putin against the backdrop of Trump clamping 50 per cent tariffs against India for buying Russian oil.
The presence of foreign leaders at the parade commemorating China’s war of resistance against Japanese aggression in World War II has become a diplomatic spat between Japan and China after Tokyo urged the world leaders to refrain from attending.
