China adhered to the anti-Japanese national united front and adopted the strategy and tactics of people's war. While defeating the Japanese aggressors, the Party and the people got great development. All these have laid a solid foundation for the victory of the democratic revolution. (3) China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression are an important part of the world anti-fascist war. The people of China persisted in the war of resistance, containing and weakening most Japanese troops, making them unable to attack the Soviet Union in the north, greatly reducing the pressure of Japanese troops on the United States and Britain in the Pacific battlefield, and strategically assisting and assisting people all over the world in the anti-fascist war.
