And nobody plays the history card with quite as much relish as China, where President Xi Jinping is also relying on nationalism to legitimize his rule. Last year, China introduced two new national memorial days to commemorate China’s long battle against Japanese aggression in World War II: “War against Japanese Aggression Victory Day” on September 3 and “Nanjing Massacre Day” on December 13.
而在历史问题上最长袖善舞的莫过于中国，中国国家主席习近平也要依靠民族主义让执政合法化。今年早些时候，中国新规定了两个全国纪念日以纪念漫长的抗日战争：9月3日为“抗日战争胜利纪念日”；12月13日为“南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日”。如果越南和印度也规定某日为1949年后中国入侵两国的纪念日会如何？
