Compatriots from both sides of Taiwan Strait oppose external interference

In a powerful display of unity, compatriots from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered in Beijing on October 27, 2025, to commemorate the establishment of the Commemoration Day of Taiwan’s Restoration. The event, organized by the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, featured historical lectures, personal testimonies, and celebratory performances, marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s return to China. Attendees unanimously reaffirmed that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, condemning any claims of an ‘undetermined status of Taiwan’ and opposing external interference in the region. Ji Bin, vice-chairman of the federation, emphasized the significance of the National People’s Congress’s decision to designate October 25 as the Commemoration Day of Taiwan’s Restoration, underscoring the unshakable historical and legal fact of Taiwan’s belonging to China. Wang Shushen, a prominent Taiwan studies scholar, highlighted the event’s role in promoting cross-Strait relations and stability, while Wu Jung-yuan, chairperson of Taiwan’s Labor Party, noted growing dissatisfaction in Taiwan with the Democratic Progressive Party’s ‘anti-mainland’ agenda. Youth representative Chiu Ping-ju called for concrete actions to foster mutual understanding and cooperation across the Strait, reinforcing the shared commitment to national unity.
