Commemoration comes amid high bilateral tensions after Beijing’s large-scale military parade and Tokyo’s deployment of Typhon missile system
The incident refers to the evening of September 18 when the Japanese Kwantung Army in Shenyang, Liaoning province, used an explosion on the South Manchuria Railway as a pretext for an invasion and quickly occupied three northeastern provinces.
