我除了希望延展修訂期限外，亦希望政府根據條例賦予修訂限期，就如何逐步落實提供清晰的安排及方向。
In addition to extending the period for amendment I also hope that the Government will provide explicit arrangements and directions on gradual implementation within the period for amending the subsidiary legislation under the legislation
這是重要的，因為任何法例若要得以執行，都需要在期限方面有清晰的預備。
This point is important because preparations should be made for the implementation of the legislation within the specified period
在小組委員會的討論中，政府未能令委員有足夠的信心，條例的執行及根據修訂期限的......
In the course of discussion of the Subcommittee the Government failed to give Members sufficient confidence the implementation of the legislation and the period for amending the subsidiary legislation
代理主席，我發言支持潘兆平議員的原議案及所有修正案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr POON Siu - pings original motion and all the amendments
世界經濟論壇在10月發表的報告中指出，香港的競爭力在全球排行第七，下跌一位，但最令所有"打工仔"感到驚訝或不安的是，香港在勞工權益方面的得分是零分，我再說一次是零分。
As pointed out in the report published by the World Economic Forum in October Hong Kongs competitiveness dropped one place to the seventh in the world . And yet the most surprising or worrying to all wage earners is that Hong Kong scored zero on workers rights and I repeat zero marks
因此，在這基礎上，我贊成及希望政府從善如流，增加現時並不足夠的勞工假期。
Therefore on this basis I support the proposal and hope that the Government will accept good advice by increasing the current insufficient labour holidays
為甚麼一個進步並號稱公平的社會會出現兩種假期並存的情況？
Why would an advanced society which claims to be fair allow the co - existence of two types of holidays?
當我們在清晰討論如何稱許抗日戰爭時，請大家不要忘記，中華人民共和國曾不止一次對中日戰爭出現不同的看法。
While we are discussing loud and clear how to commend the war of resistance against Japanese aggression Members should not forget that the Peoples Republic of China PRC had expressed different views on the Sino - Japanese War on more than one occasion
在1972年，當中共派出周恩來與日本首相田中角榮簽訂《中華人民共和國政府和日本國政府聯合聲明》的時候，亦同時發表了一個使中國人震驚的事實，就是中國政府為了中日兩國人民友好，決定放棄對日本的戰爭賠償要求，而這在當時的日本及中國華人社會均造成了極大震撼。
In 1972 when the Communist Party of China CPC sent ZHOU Enlai to sign the Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Government of the Peoples Republic of China with Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei TANAKA an announcement was made that shocked all Chinese people and that is China decided to renounce claims for war reparation from Japan for the sake of friendship between the two countries . The Japanese and Chinese societies were shocked at that time
大家也知道，在日本侵華時，中國在人命或經濟方面均蒙受損失。
As we all know owing to Japans invasion China suffered human casualties and economic losses
按照1972年的計算，中國直接損失1,200億美元，間接損失超過5,000億美元。
According to the calculation in 1972 the direct and indirect losses of China were US120 billion and more than US500 billion respectively
不過，令我們更震驚的是，中共前領導人毛澤東曾經先後6次在公開場合感謝日本侵華。
However what is even more shocking is that MAO Zedong former CPC leader had openly expressed gratitude for Japans invasion for six times
第一次是在1956年，當時毛澤東向訪華的前日軍中將遠藤三郎說："你們日本的皇軍也是我們的先生，我們要感謝你們。
The first time was in 1956 when MAO Zedong said to former Japanese Lieutenant General Saburo ENDO during his visit to China Japans Imperial Army is also our master and we must thank you
正是你們打了這一仗，教育了中國人民，把一盤散沙的中國人民打得團結起來了，所以我們應該感謝你們。
Precisely because you fought this war you taught the Chinese people who had been like a sheet of loose sand to unite so we must thank you
" 他在1960年接見日本左派文學家野間宏時亦說過同一番話。
In 1960 he repeated the same remark when he received Hiroshi NOMA the Japanese leftist writer
第三次是在1961年，當時是與日本社會黨國會議員黑田壽男會談，而第四次則是在1964年，當時毛澤東參加第二次亞洲經濟討論會，再次向南鄉三郎講述同一番說話，感謝日本侵華。
The third time was in 1961 when he talked at the reception for Hisao KURODA a Diet member of the former Socialist Party and the fourth time is in 1964 when MAO Zedong attended the Second Asian Economic Forum he repeated the same remark to Saburo NANGO thanking Japans invasion of China
當時我們有兩個祖國，一個是中華民國，是帝國主義的工具，另一個是中華蘇維埃共和國。
We had two motherlands at that time one was the Republic of China an instrument of imperialism and the other was the Chinese Soviet Republic
自此以後，即使是在國共聯合抗日時，當時的八路軍及其他軍隊表面上是一同抗日，但大家也知道，當時的軍隊數目只是軍力約十分之一。
When the nationalists and the communists had formed a united front to resist Japans invasion the Eighth Route Army and the other armies were ostensibly fighting against Japan the troops deployed only accounted for one tenth of the force
事實上，根據眾多事實及歷史學家所指出，中國共產黨的掘起在某程度上是建基於抗日，即日本侵華。
In fact as pointed out by many historians and substantiated by facts the rise of CPC did owe much to the anti - Japanese war that is Japans invasion of China
正是由於這一點，所以在我們重新檢視抗日勝利時，我內心實在有百般滋味。
It is precisely because of this that I have mixed feelings when we revisited the victory against Japan
當大家振振有詞、義憤填膺地表達對"日本仔"的憤怒時，原來我們號稱愛國的黨......很多時候也與我們的敵人走在一起......
When Members spoke categorically with indignation to express their anger at the Japs the party that claims to be patriotic is actually walking side by side with our enemies most of the time
政府表示一直按有關的國際標準，致力打擊洗錢及恐怖分子籌集資金的活動，以維持香港的國際金融中心地位。
The Government has stated that it has all along been striving to combat money laundering and terrorist financing activities in accordance with relevant international standards in order to maintain Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre
香港決心與國際社會攜手打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集。
Hong Kong is committed to combating money laundering and terrorist financing together with the international community
香港於1991年起成為財務行動特別組織的成員。
Hong Kong has become a member of the Financial Action Task Force FATF since 1991
多年來，我們參照特別組織制訂的國際標準，建立了一套成熟穩健的打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集制度。
Over the years we have put in place a robust anti - money laundering and counter - financing of terrorism AMLCFT regime having regard to international standards set by FATF
政府亦不斷檢討相關制度，確保其足以抵禦瞬息萬變的金融市場和安全環境所帶來的挑戰。
To stay ahead of the curve we put the AMLCFT regime under continuous review to ensure that it can live up to challenges posed by the fast - changing financial market and security landscapes
近年，政府採取了多項措施，大幅強化了香港的打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集制度，以確保有關制度合乎最新的相關國際標準。
Over the past few years the Government has adopted various measures to strengthen the AMLCFT regime so as to ensure that our system is keeping with international standards
為辨識及評估香港所面對的洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集風險，政府進行了全港性風險評估，以評估金融業及指定非金融行業，以及香港整體面對的洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集威脅及其脆弱度。
To identify and assess money launderingterrorist financing threats facing Hong Kong we have conducted a territory - wide risk assessment to examine the money launderingterrorist financing threats and vulnerabilities confronting financial businesses designated non - financial businesses and professions and the city as a whole
有關報告已於2018年4月發表，並會適時更新。
The risk assessment report was published in April 2018 and will be updated from time to time
過去一年，政府以有關風險評估為基礎， 推行了一系列的改善措施，包括修訂法律和監管架構、加強採取以風險為本的預防和監管措施、進一步限制和沒收犯罪得益，以及加強國際合作。
Informed by the risk assessment over the past year we have taken forward various enhancement measures . These include updating the legal and regulatory framework reinforcing the adoption of a risk - based approach in preventive and supervisory measures stepping up efforts to restrain and confiscate crime proceeds and strengthening international cooperation
同一期間，由於洗黑錢被各執法部門檢控的共有828人，被定罪的則有620人。
During the same period 828 persons were prosecuted for money laundering offences and 620 persons were convicted
此外，《販毒條例》亦就販毒罪行訂有相類似的條文。
DTROP also has similar provisions pertaining to drug trafficking offences
2013年至2017年間，當局透過沒收令追討的犯罪得益金額超過16億元。
From 2013 to 2017 proceeds confiscated under confiscation orders amounted to over 1.6 billion
主席，我提出這項質詢，是因為早前我前往美國華盛頓參加反恐及打擊洗錢的工作會議時，有美國反恐專家告訴我，在追討犯罪得益及恐怖分子資金方面相當困難，加上現在有虛擬貨幣，而當局對相關罪行的監管亦未成熟，困難因而更大。
President I raise this question because when I participated in a work conference on anti - terrorism and combating money laundering earlier in Washington DC I was told by a United States counter - terrorism expert that it is very difficult to recover proceeds of crime and terrorist financing; now there are also virtual currencies but the authorities regulation against relevant crimes is still immature the difficulty is thus greater
局長在這項的主體答覆中提到，聯合財富情報組共接獲超過280000宗可疑交易報告，當中238000宗未有足夠資料作進一步跟進。
The Secretary mentioned in the main reply to this question that JFIU has received more than 280 000 STRs amongst which 238 000 reports lacked sufficient information for further action
我希望局方可以回答我這個問題。
I hope the Bureau can answer me on this
主席，我同樣關注到，聯合財富情報組接獲的可疑交易報告有280000宗，但當中值得跟進的不足兩成，即44000宗。
President I am also concerned that JFIU has received 280 000 STRs but only less that 20 % of them ie . 44 000 reports were worth following up
我想 問，這是否反映此等所謂的可疑交易報告質素有問題？
I would like to ask if this reflects a problem of quality with such kind of so - called suspicious transaction reports?
因為沒理由在10宗報告中只有1.5宗值得跟進。
This is because there is no reason that only 1.5 out of 10 reports were worth following up
這樣便不用提交這麼多報告，亦可以令銀行或各有關機構在匯報時精準一些，又或在有需要時才匯報，沒有需要則不作匯報，而不是像現時般，報告的宗數很多，但實際有用的卻很少。
increase the number of worth pursuing reports? . As such there will be no need to submit so many reports and banks or other relevant institutions can be more precise in their reporting; alternatively they may submit reports on a need basis and make no submissions if there is no need to do so instead of having reports that are numerous in number yet hardly of practical use as now
政府會如何改善匯報的程序呢？
How will the Government improve the reporting procedures?
主席，我相信值得指出的是，聯合財富情報組在2017年接獲的92,115宗可疑交易報告，其實已較2016年的76,590宗上升了20.3%。
President I believe it is worth pointing out that the 92 115 STRs that JFIU received in 2017 actually represent an increase of 20.3 % compared to the 76 590 reports recorded in 2016
舉報數字上升，主要反映各行業對有關打擊洗錢的條例及相關法定舉報責任的認知有所提高。
The rise in the STRs mainly reflects an enhanced degree of awareness of anti - money laundering legislation and relevant statutory reporting obligations among various industries
政府在2018年4月30日公布《香港的洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集風險評估報告》，當中指出香港的恐怖分子資金籌集威脅評級屬於中低水平，香港沒有經證實的恐怖分子資金籌集活動個案，涉及與恐怖分子資金籌集有關的相互法律協助或其他請求數字亦非常少。
The Government published the Hong Kongs Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment Report on 30 April 2018 . The Report points out that the terrorist financing threat of Hong Kong is assessed as medium - low; there is no confirmed case of terrorist financing activity in Hong Kong; and the very small number of mutual legal assistance or other information requests bears out this understanding
但是，我留意到業界向我反映，大部分銀行就開戶要求進行盡職 調查時，會不太合理地要求想開戶的人士尚未是客戶提供一些他不可能有的文件，例如向新成立的公司索取過往賺錢能力和業務情況的文件，這些文件根本不可能提供。
However I note from members of the industry that when conducting customer due diligence CDD process regarding account opening requests most banks would be rather unreasonable to require submission of documents that the people who want to open bank accounts cannot possibly have eg . documents on past profitability and business activities of newly established companies . It is simply not possible for them to provide such documents
有否相關數據證明情況已經得到改善？
Is there relevant data to prove the improvement of the situation?
至於開戶所需要的實際時間，則視乎個案的複雜程度及申請人能否提交所需資料而定。
As for the actual time required for opening a bank account it depends on the complexity of the case and whether the applicant is able to submit the information required
主席，局長和吳永嘉議員剛才提及2018年4月公布的第一份《香港的洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集風險評估報告》，當中提到如果按行業劃分，銀行業面對的洗錢風險屬高水平。
President the Secretary and Mr Jimmy NG just now referred to the first Hong Kongs Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment Report published in April 2018 in which it is mentioned that the banking sector faces high money laundering risk if categorized by industry
儘管如此，我認為如果不涉及洗錢或同謀，銀行從業員在處理相關業務的過程中，不應承擔等同洗錢的刑責。
Notwithstanding this I consider that banking practitioners should in their course of business not be subject to a criminal liability equivalent to that for money laundering if no participation or complicity in money laundering is involved
根據該報告指出，2015年有16宗涉及利用金錢服務經營者洗錢的定罪個案，其中只有1宗涉及金錢服務經營者參與同謀。
According to the Report in 2015 there were 16 conviction cases involving money service operators being used for money laundering and only one of those cases involved the participation of money service operator as an accomplice in money laundering
我想請問局長，《打擊洗錢及恐怖分子資金籌集條例》生效至今，香港有否銀行從業員因協助和參與洗錢而觸犯刑事罪行，並被檢控和定罪？
I would like to ask the Secretary that since the commencement of the Anti - Money Laundering and Counter - Terrorist Financing Ordinance are there any banking practitioners in Hong Kong prosecuted and convicted for the criminal offences of assisting and participating in money laundering?
就此，我們會嘗試了解是否可以獲得這方面的相關數字。
In this connection we will try to see if we can acquire relevant figures in this regard
主席，我動議修正潘兆平議員的議案。
President I move that Mr POON Siu - pings motion be amended
代理主席，首先，多謝潘兆平議員提出"檢討假期政策"議案。
Deputy President first of all I would like to thank Mr POON Siu - ping for moving the motion on Reviewing the holiday policy
我留意到局長剛才發言時，很快便拒絕今天議事堂提出的兩項訴求：第一，把抗日戰爭勝利日9月3日列為法定假日；第二，把法定假日和公眾假期逐步統一為17天。
I noticed that when the Secretary spoke earlier he quickly rejected the two demands made by some Members in this Chamber First designating the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression ie . 3 September as a statutory holiday; second gradually aligning the numbers of statutory holidays and general holidays at 17 days
代理主席，今天這項議案內容簡短，原議案連同修正案只有兩三行文字，但當中的意義卻十分重大。
Deputy President the motion today is short . The original motion and the amendments are only two or three lines but they are very meaningful
首先，原議案提及1945年中國抗日戰爭勝利，彰顯中華民族奮勇抗敵的精神，我和我所代表的民建聯都認為9月3日這日子對於中國人是一個值得紀念的日子。
First the original motion refers to the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1945 which manifested the heroic resistance of the Chinese nation against the enemy . DAB and I believe that 3 September is a memorable day for Chinese people
至於議案另一項意義，就是點出了在香港這個勞動人口不足400萬人的彈丸之地，在假期安排上竟然有兩種不同制度。
The motion is also meaningful because it pointed out that there are two different systems of holiday arrangements in Hong Kong which is a very small place with less than 4 million working people
我認為這情況絕不理想，稍後我會再作解釋。
I think this is really unsatisfactory and I will explain that later
代理主席，首先，我想談一談中國抗日戰爭勝利的意義。
Deputy President first of all I would like to talk about the significance of the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
相信大家不會陌生，這場戰爭背後，是由於當時中國積弱，慘被列強侵略甚至瓜分領土，這段屈辱歷史，中國人難以忘懷。
I believe we are no strangers to the fact that in the background of this War China was weak then and it was invaded with its territory even divided up by the foreign powers . This humiliating period of history is unforgettable to Chinese people
我們這一代相當幸運，無須經歷戰爭，但對於日軍當年如何以殘暴手法對待中國人，我從小到大從書本或電視片段中都清楚看到，歷史事件歷歷在目。
Our generation is very fortunate as we do not need to experience war . However when I grew up I learnt from the books or television episodes how the Japanese army brutally treated Chinese people at that time and these historical events are still vivid in my mind
經歷14年後，中國痛定思痛，自強變革，結果不但挫敗了當年日本想征服中國、稱霸亞洲的企圖，及後中國更以同盟國身份出席國際會議，參與籌組聯合國，從此躋身強國之列。
After 14 years China learnt from the bitter experience and carried out self - improvement and transformation . As a result Japans attempt to conquer China and dominate Asia failed and China later attended international conferences as an ally and participated in organizing the United Nations among the strong nations since then
這段歷史對我們中華民族而言，意義重大。
This period of history is of great significance to the Chinese nation
所謂借古鑒今，我們藉歷史反省，紀念抗日戰爭的勝利為我們民族帶來了復興及民族團結的力量。
We should reflect on the lessons that we can learn from history . Commemorating the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is the source of power for the revival and unity of the Chinese nation
相信大家也記得，在3年前，即2015年，抗日戰爭勝利70周年時，中央為了紀念這個具特殊及嚴肅意義的日子，公布全國放假1天，而特區政府亦訂立了一次性的特別公眾假期及法定假日，讓全港市民放假1天。
I believe all of us remember that three years ago in 2015 to commemorate the 70 anniversary of the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression which was a special and solemn day the Central Authorities announced that it would be designated as a national holiday and the SAR Government also designated that day as a one - off special public holiday and statutory holiday for Hong Kong people
當時，不論在社會或議事堂也是一致支持，反映大家認同抗戰勝利日帶來的意義。
At that time the proposal was supported in the community and the Chamber which showed that everybody recognized the significance of the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
放假從來也是"打工仔"的期望，現時香港同時存在兩種假期制度，即公眾假期和法定假日，白領放銀行假期，藍領放勞工假期，兩種假期同樣有法可依，但卻是兩種待遇。
Holidays have always been the expectations of wage earners . At present there are two holiday systems in Hong Kong including general holidays and statutory holidays . White - collar workers have bank holidays while blue - collar workers have labour holidays; both kinds of holidays have a legal basis but the treatments are different
據了解，以前香港經濟以工業生產為主，工廠工人支取日薪，如果停工一天就會沒有工資，變相減薪。
It is understood that our economy was dominated by industrial production in the past . As factory workers were paid daily wages they would not be paid if they stopped working for a day and they would have wage reductions in disguise
以前香港經濟環境不太好，家家戶戶捉襟見肘，工人當然不會輕易放假。
Since the economic environment was not very good then many households had too many difficulties to cope with and workers would not take leave easily
可以放取銀行假期的人，顧名思義當然是銀行、政府、教育機關等公共機構的文職人員，在過去的年代，放假制度同時隱含了階級意味。
Those who enjoyed bank holidays as the name implied were clerical staff in public institutions such as banks government departments educational institutions etc . The holiday systems in those days also implied class differences
時至今天，社會進步，工種已發展至繁多複雜，難以再分藍領或白領，所謂的階級分別也不再明顯，繼續把假期分成兩種制度，既不符合社會狀況，也會製造社會不公平。
Along with social progress work types today have become multifarious and complex . It is difficult to differentiate between blue - collar and white - collar workers and class differences are no longer obvious . The continuation of two different holiday systems will not only fail to match social conditions but also create social inequality
事實上，現時大家普遍使用的座檯年曆上，都會劃一標示17天公眾假期和星期日，絕少分開標示勞工假期或銀行假期，這亦反映了香港社會上市民的想法是一致的。
In fact 17 days of general holidays and Sundays will be marked on the desk calendars that are generally used and labour holidays or bank holidays are rarely marked . This also shows that members of the public are generally on the same page
所以，把法定假日和公眾假期劃一訂為17天，受惠者當然是僱員。
Hence aligning the numbers of statutory holidays and general holidays at 17 days will certainly benefit employees
現時香港大約有140萬人放取勞工假期，他們主要從事飲食業、物業管理、保安和清潔工作等。
Currently about 1.4 million Hong Kong people have labour holidays and these people are mainly engaged in catering property management security and cleansing work etc
相反，首當其衝的必然是僱主，我們明白一旦增加5天假期，對中小微企會造成影響。
On the contrary employers will definitely bear the brunt . We understand that increasing the number of holidays by five days will have impacts on small and medium enterprises
政府經濟顧問曾經按2011年工資水平，計算出增加1天法定假日的成本是3億7,000萬元，而增加5天就是18多億元，但是否真的有損失呢？
On the basis of the wage level in 2011 the Government Economist has arrived at the conclusion that the cost of an additional statutory holiday was 370 million while the cost of five additional days of statutory holiday was more than 1.8 billion . However will there really be any loss?
其實，市民放假時未必會留在家，他們選擇外出消費和飲食，可以刺激零售及經濟行業。
In fact members of the public may not stay home during holidays and they may choose to spend money and eat outside which can invigorate the retail and economic sectors
據了解，這項議題關乎僱員和僱主利益，勞工顧問委員會至今仍在研究當中，未有共識。
It is understood that this subject is related to the interests of employees and employers . The Labour Advisory Board is still conducting a study and a consensus has not been reached
但是，我認為統一假期的日數已是大勢所趨，為免政策令僱主一下子難以承受，當局可以考慮以循序漸進方式，逐步把法定假日和公眾假期的日數看齊。
Yet I think that aligning the number of holidays is a general trend . In order that employers will not find it difficult to accept the policy the authorities can consider taking forward the policy in a progressive manner and gradually align the number of statutory holidays and general holidays
代理主席，最後，我作為民建聯人力事務的發言人，代表民建聯表達我們對本議案的看法。
Deputy President lastly as the spokesperson for DAB on manpower I will comment on this motion on behalf of DAB
至於張超雄議員的修正案，由於修正案刪去 了"中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日"的提述，我們認為並不恰當，所以只能投棄權票。
As for the amendment of Dr Fernando CHEUNG which has deleted the reference to the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression we can only abstain from voting because we think that such deletion is inappropriate
潘兆平議員提出的議員議案，其實是想延續2015年梁振英政府訂立的一次過假期，即2015年9月3日的中國人民抗日戰爭勝利紀念日。
The Members motion moved by Mr POON Siu - ping seeks to sustain the one - off holiday designated by the LEUNG Chun - ying Government in 2015 ie . the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression on 3 September 2015
我記得在2015年7月9日恢復二讀辯論時曾經表示，"主席，哪怕只有1天，只有1次，我也支持今年9月3日多放1天特別假期，因為......香港人都是工時過長，假期過少。
As far as I remember when the Second Reading debate was resumed on 9 July 2015 I said President be it only one day or just once I will support having an extra special holiday on 3 September this year because Hong Kong people are working excessively long hours but enjoying too few holidays
可是，我們不支持，亦不認同香港政府跟隨中共，以紀念抗戰勝利作為制訂這天假期的原因。
However we neither support nor agree with the move made by the Hong Kong Government in following the Chinese Communists to designate this day as a holiday for commemorating the victory over the war of resistance
"我這種想法直至今天仍然一樣。
I still have the same idea today
我相信這不是今天提出或支持議案的議員想要的。
I do not think the Member who proposed this motion and Members who support this motion would like this to happen
此外，我想我們討論這個新增假期時，也要仔細檢視一下這個節日的歷史意義。
When we discuss this additional holiday I think we should also examine the historical significance of this commemorative day carefully
為何把抗戰勝利紀念日訂為9月3日，而不是8月15日，即是日本宣布終戰的日子呢？
Why should the commemorative day of the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression be on 3 September rather than on 15 August ie . the day on which Japan declared the end of the war?
這是因為日本代表在1945年9月2日，於美國海軍戰艦密蘇里號的甲板上簽訂降伏文書，有份見證的代表當然包括中國、美國、英國、澳洲、加拿大、法國、新西蘭、荷蘭及最後數星期才向日本宣戰的蘇聯。
It is because the Japanese representative signed the Instrument of Surrender on the deck of the United States Battleship Missouri on 2 September 1945 and the witnesses included the representatives of China the United States the United Kingdom Australia Canada France New Zealand the Netherlands and the Soviet Union which declared war on Japan only in the last few weeks
中華民國將每年的9月3日訂為抗日戰爭勝利紀念日，以至1955年之後的軍人節也是紀念這事件，而中華人民共和國則於2014年才開始恆常紀念這節日。
The Republic of China has designated 3 September each year as the commemorative day of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the Armed Forces Day was also designated to commemorate this incident since 1955 . Yet the Peoples Republic of China only started to commemorate this incident annually since 2014
當我們重新檢視這個節日的歷史時，我們會發覺現在的中國政府並沒有以尊重抗日英烈及尊重歷史的態度來紀念抗日戰爭勝利。
When we re - examine the history of this commemorative day we will find that the current Chinese Government has not commemorated the victory of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression or expressed respect to the anti - Japanese heroes or respected history
中國政府近年越來越強調抗日戰爭勝利紀念日，並且不斷透過鋪天蓋地的抗日神劇及學校教材來灌輸其編寫的歷史，淡化中華民國軍隊在抗日的犧牲和貢獻，淡化美國在擊敗日本所扮演的重要角色，同時強調中 國共產黨在抗日時期的角色。
In recent years the Chinese Government has increasingly emphasized the Victory Day of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression . Through the overwhelming anti - Japanese dramas and teaching materials it tries to instil people with the history as it has presented playing down the sacrifice and contribution of the ROC army in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression as well as the important role played by the United States in defeating Japan . Furthermore it emphasized the role of the Chinese Communist Party during the anti - Japanese period
如果只看抗日神劇，可能會以為沒有中國共產黨當天的付出，日本便不會投降。
The audience of anti - Japanese dramas may think that Japan would not have surrendered without the contributions of the Chinese Communist Party on that day
