China had been fighting the Japanese as far back as 1931 and throughout those decades of Japanese occupation, China suffered around 35 million deaths. It was a massive sacrifice, fighting to avoid more massacres, chemical warfare with even the USA on the side of the Japanese.
The Nationalist and Communists eventually joined hands to chase out the Japanese. Some are claiming it was Chiang Kai Shek signing the peace agreement after Japan's defeat that resulted, who should claim credit, and that the Communist has no right to claim Victory. Were the Japanese chased out of mainland China or Taiwan finally, which is the question. Taiwan is still ruled by Japanese or fake Japanese masquerading as Taiwanese.
Taiwan is a part of China, and driving the Japanese out of China is a victory for the Chinese, Nationalists or Communists are still Chinese, and the Chinese in mainland China have every right to celebrate that victory over Japan. Why are the allies celebrating the Normandy Landing as the pivotal defeat of Nazi Germany, when the actual credit should rightly accrue to the Soviet Union, suffering 26 million casualties to overwhelm Hitler? The Allies are not even part of the Soviet Union, while Taiwan is part of China.

Not only is the Victory Day Parade to commemorate victory over the Japanese an important celebration for mainland China, Chinese elsewhere in South-East Asia have also suffered atrocities by the Japanese and are equally supportive of the commemoration by China. This is not just about the Chinese in Taiwan having that right.
Therefore, why is China's Victory Day Parade not a genuine right to show the patriotism of all Chinese anywhere in the world?
Dear Mr Redbean, this article is from a comment in your blog but this article's heading is written by you. Who is young Marshall Chang? There's no reference to this name in the article body.
Marshall Chang Hsueh-Liang was the warlord who kidnapped Chiang Kai Shek to persuade Chiang to form an alliance with the Communist to fight the Japanese aggression.
I look this up to learn a little more of history.
I was hoping that those who are unfamiliar with Chinese history should look up who is young Marshall Chang, not senior Marshall Chang, during the anti Japanese War, and the kidnapping episode. Just google.
I raised young Marshal Chang for this conversation because the KMT was trying to claim all credit in the anti Japanese war. Chiang was only interested in fighting the CCP, chasing them across China in the Long March. He was not too concern about the Japanese invasion, making many nationalists very angry, Chinese fighting Chinese, not fighting Japanese.
This was the reason why young Marshal kidnapped him and forced him to negotiate a ceasefire with Mao and joined forces to fight the Japanese.
Young Marshal's contribution in this part of China's history is about patriotism. Chiang and his KMT were not regarded kindly on this.
Chang Hsueh Liang was the son of the bandit Chang Tso Lin of North-East China province of Manchuria who usurped power as the warlord of the region after the demise of the Ching Dynasty. For his own selfish ends and aggrandizement he collaborated with the Japanese invaders against Chinese interests and was greatly influenced by the United States to go against the Chinese communist which had just taken root in 1918 with its foundation and seedling laid by Professor Li Ta Chao and Professor Chen Tu Hsiu of Peking University. Professor Li Ta Chao had a great and highly intelligent protege and assistant Mao Tse-Tung who followed closely his footsteps and teachings on liberating the countryside agrarian communities as an important step to liberate China from Western imperialism and colonialism which had plagued China since the 1830s. Unfortunately at the behest of the Americans and Japan Chang Tso Lin kidnapped and arrested Professor Li Ta Chao and had him executed on April 28, 1827.
However, Chang Tso Lin's son Chang Hsueh Liang took over as the warlord of Manchuria after the demise of his father. Unlike his father Chang Hsueh Liang was more amendable to the formation of a strong Chinese nation under the banner of the cooperation between the Chinese Communist Party and the Nationalist Party or Kuomintang ( KMT ) of Doctor Sun Yat Sen.
But when Dr. Sun died in 1925 the leadership of the KMT was taken over by his army general Chiang Kai Shek. Chiang Kai Shek under the powerful influence of his whorely wife was strongly brainwashed by the Americans to go against the Chinese communist. He hunted down the Chinese communists, leftists or socialists and massacred thousands of them in Shanghai in 1927.
During the resistant fight against the Japanese invaders from 1931 to 1945 Chiang instructed his generals and armies to attack and harass the Chinese communist armed forces which bore the blunt against the Japanese invaders. He refused to fight against the Japanese invaders and instead concentrated on trying to destroy the CPC then under the leadership of Mao Tse-Tung claiming that the Japanese menace was only the disease of the skin while the Chinese communist was the disease of the heart.
Chiang Kai Shek being under the strong influence of his pro American wife and drunk with too much toxic American anti Chineses ideology was a comatose potato. He had sold the Chinese nation, the Chinese peoplle and the Chinese spirit to the Americans and the West.
Fortunately most of his armies and Chinese soldiers and generals realized his betrayal of the Chinese people and nation and crossed over to the patriotic Chinese Communist Party in the final battles of the civil war and thus resulted in the final and successful liberation of China to found the great People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square on October 1st, 1949.
