"Eighty years on, it remains the case that the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War and China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are the fundamental basis for an international order based on peace, democracy and the rights of peoples and nations." Keith Bennett in interview with China Daily.
VE Day: Russia, China and the Global South defend the principles won by victory over fascism
In an interview by China Daily published on 7 May 2025, Keith Bennett stated:
Eighty years on, it remains the case that the Soviet Union’s victory in the Great Patriotic War and China’s victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression are the fundamental basis for an international order based on peace, democracy and the rights of peoples and nations.
Today, those principles that were established at the cost of so many lives are being challenged as never before by acts of unilateralism, aggression, bullying and hegemonism. At the same time, China and Russia are taking the lead and, together with the combined might of the Global South, are defending the postwar order while promoting multipolarity as never before.
