The immense assistance rendered by the Soviet Union to the Chinese people during the War of Resistance, together with the strengthened alliance between the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China for the joint prevention of a resurgence of Japanese aggression, have provided the Chinese people with boundless encouragement in their struggle against the forces of aggression in the Far East. Long live the great friendship between China and the Soviet Union in their just cause of opposing Japanese imperialism and safeguarding peace in the Far East!
