Abstract

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the continuous escalation of Japan's blockade of China led to the successive disruption of the southwest international transportation routes. Relying on its unique geographical location, existing transportation and industrial foundation, as well as the Sino-US strategic consensus on anti-fascism, Northwest China gradually became an important choice for Sino-US strategic cooperation. By sorting out the historical logic and practical paths of Sino-US strategic cooperation in the Northwest, and analyzing its wartime strategic value and long-term historical influence, we can learn the international cooperation experience contained therein, understand the international significance of anti-fascism, and provide historical reference for contemporary international cooperation and regional development.
