Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared together publicly for the first time on Wednesday at a massive military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of China’s victory over Japan in World War II. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Wednesday that China “seems to have fully forgotten” that they only triumphed over the Japanese because of the Americans.
“In fact, 80 years ago, the United States shed blood. If you think about it, had we not been involved in World War II, China might be under Japanese control right now. And I think that there is not a full appreciation of that in China. I think that the China right now, today thinks they did it. It is amazing how revisionist history works under Xi Jinping. The Chinese seem to have fully forgotten all of that, and they can only remember grievances. But the fact is that were it not for the United States of America stepping into World War II, China would be a very different place,” Hagerty said during an appearance on “The Record with Greta Van Susteren.”
Hagerty noted that there is not a true friendship emerging between the three countries. “But let me say this — there’s no real alliance there. It’s a marriage of convenience. Well, I wonder if we were invited … I mean, I wouldn’t expect that we would be. But I don’t know if it’s classified or not, but I’ll say this — the United States has a long history of helping other nations,” he added.
