A contingent of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force (PAP) will join the September 3 grand military parade in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The PAP parade unit includes security sentinels, counter-riot specialists, maritime patrol force troops and emergency rescuers. Since assembling for intensive drills, it has consistently ranked among the top infantry formations and was repeatedly chosen to carry out demonstration exercises. Qu Cong, commander of a company known as the "Brave and Battlewise Company" of the Qiongya Column -- a Chinese Communist Party-led guerrilla force active in the southern island of Hainan during the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which fought in isolation for years and became known for its tenacity and sacrifice -- said joining the parade is an honor to inherit the spirit of perseverance. The parade, set to take place in the iconic Tian'anmen Square, will honor the heroic legacy of the 14-year War of Resistance and showcase the strength and unity of modern China.
