Chinese President Xi Jinping continued Beijing’s offensive yesterday against what it sees a new wave of Japanese nationalism and militarism.
Mr Xi unveiled a commemorative sculpture to the 1937 Marco Polo Bridge Incident based on a military medal at the Museum of the War of the Chinese People’s Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
The military incident was provoked by Japanese troops attempting to enter the city of Wanping near Beijing via the Marco Polo Bridge, since renamed Lugou Bridge.
