Beijing ,October. 23 (Xinhua): Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday urged efforts to carry forward the great spirit demonstrated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

It is necessary to speak to invaders in the language they know: that is, a war must be fought to deter invasion, and force must be met by force, Xi said. “A victory is needed to win peace and respect.”
