Legacy of Flying Tigers honored with new exhibition in south China

NANNING, China, Sept. 9, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

A guest at the permanent exhibition honoring the Flying Tigers in the Liuzhou Military Museum in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. 

A permanent exhibition honoring the Flying Tigers — the American volunteer pilots who fought alongside Chinese forces against Japanese aggressors during World War II — opened on Sunday in Liuzhou, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Housed in the Liuzhou Military Museum, the exhibition brings together more than 1,000 artifacts — from flight suits and arm patches to letters and diaries, many of which were donated by people in China and the United States.

Liuzhou was a key transportation hub and military stronghold in southern China during the war. In 1942, the Flying Tigers came to the city and was stationed in a local airport. From there, American pilots flew missions against Japanese invaders, leaving behind historical sites, images and stories of locals risking their lives to rescue downed airmen.

Describing the history as one “with remarkable friendship and mutual sacrifice at its heart,” Jeffrey Greene, chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, said at the opening ceremony that the peoples of China and the United States had developed a remarkable relationship during the darkest days of WWII.

“This history has become more than a bridge between two nations. It is a timeless testament to the power of solidarity,” Greene said.

Also at the ceremony, Yang Wanming, president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, noted that more than 80 years ago, China and the United States chose to fight together for justice and peace.

“This history shows that people from different countries can overcome their differences and unite in the face of common challenges,” Yang said, adding that the younger generations from both countries will carry forward the spirit of the Flying Tigers.

The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge long term, featuring five themed sections presenting the stories of how the American pilots fought side-by-side with Chinese soldiers and civilians during the war.

XIAMEN, China, Sept. 2, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

The 25th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT), themed “Join Hands with China, Invest in the Future,” will be held in Xiamen, Fujian, from September 8 to 11. 

This year’s CIFIT focuses on three major sectors — “Invest in China,” “Chinese Investment,” and “International Investment.” It will feature an exhibition area of about 120,000 m 2  and host over 70 specialized investment activities and more than 100 specialized roadshows.

The “Invest in China” section comprises various events. Nearly 100 executives from the headquarters and regional branches of multinational companies in the fields of energy, chemicals, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and intelligent manufacturing, as well as representatives from sovereign wealth funds and international investment institutions, have confirmed their attendance. Additionally, over 100 “hidden champion” enterprises from Europe and Asia will participate.

The “China Investment” section is divided into three areas: China Outbound Investment, Overseas Comprehensive Services, and Silk Road Maritime. These zones will showcase the cooperation achievements and signature projects of Chinese enterprises worldwide. The Ministry of Commerce will organize multiple chambers of commerce to release China’s Outbound Investment Activity Index for the first time. This year’s CIFIT will also host an economic and trade exchange conference between Chinese provinces and U.S. states.

To date, delegations from more than 110 countries, regions, and international organizations have registered to attend CIFIT, and 51 countries and regions will set up exhibition booths.

As the only major national-level investment exhibition in China, CIFIT is committed to building three platforms: two-way investment promotion, authoritative information release, and investment trend discussion. Since its inception, it has facilitated the signing of more than 30,000 projects, emerging as one of the world’s most influential international investment events.
