China’s Extensive Propaganda Celebrating the Armistice Agreement Day with North Korea as a Victory

[앵커]

China, which has been commemorating the dispatch of troops to the Korean War in October 1950, has embarked on extensive propaganda this year, celebrating the Armistice Agreement Day with North Korea as a victory.

Even children were mobilized to sing a song from 70 years ago, and they threatened the United States not to forget the lessons of the Korean War.

Red flags flutter across the railroad bridge over the Yalu River bordering North Korea and China.

Gray-haired war veterans, as well as college students and children, are mobilized to sing old military songs everywhere.

It is a propaganda activity that reminds us of the history of the ‘anti-American aid’ war, which means helping North Korea against the United States.

Various commemorative events and exhibitions are in full swing in Jian, where the Chinese army first crossed the Yalu River during the Korean War.

At 8:00 p.m. during prime time, a special documentary commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of anti-American aid is organized to raise the atmosphere.

People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Communist Party, linked the spirit of anti-American aid to patriotism and urged it to be put into practice.

Global Times, a foreign propaganda media outlet, bluffed that the United States should not forget the painful lessons of the Korean War, and that China’s power today is different from 70 years ago.

[탄커페이 / 중국 국방부 대변인 : 우리는 위대한 항미원조 정신을 대대적으로 고취하고, 위기의식을 강화하며, 필승신념을 굳건히 다지고 있습니다.]

China, which had been commemorating October 25, 1950 as the day of its participation in the war, had already held a large-scale 70th anniversary event three years ago.

[시진핑 / 중국 국가주석 (2020년 10월) : 위대한 항미 원조의 정신은 시공을 초월해 영원히 계승되고 대대로 발전해야 합니다.]

In line with North Korea once again this year, we are solidifying internal solidarity by packaging Armistice Agreement Day as a victory.

It is interpreted as a change that reflects the recently intensifying strategic competition between the US and China and the new Cold War structure in Northeast Asia.
