In a recent press conference, Zhang Han, the newly appointed spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, emphasized the profound significance of designating October 25 as the Commemoration Day of Taiwan’s Restoration. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s return to China, and the national-level commemorative activities held to honor this milestone are seen as a reflection of the collective will of the people and the state. Zhang underscored that these efforts serve as a robust affirmation of the historical fact that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. He further stated that such commemorations aim to inspire compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to uphold the patriotic tradition and work collectively towards national reunification and rejuvenation. Zhang also highlighted the importance of recognizing the historical and legal reality that both sides of the Strait belong to one China. He warned against the detrimental nature of ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces and stressed the inevitability of national reunification. The spokesperson reiterated the mainland’s commitment to the one-China principle, opposition to separatist activities, and dedication to fostering cross-Strait exchanges, cooperation, and integrated development. Zhang concluded by expressing the mainland’s resolve to work alongside Taiwanese compatriots to advance the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and contribute to the broader goal of national reunification and rejuvenation.
