🗓️ This weekend, Beijing hosted a landmark conference to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan. Organized by the National Committee of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the event spotlighted calls for unity, remembrance, and a shared vision for the future.
🎤 Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC, urged people on the Chinese mainland and abroad to come together, recall the triumphs of the Chinese Peoples War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and protect the achievements of those victories. He described both the wars end and Taiwans restoration as a “shared glory” for the Chinese nation.
📚 To put it simply: the War of Resistance (1937–45) and the global fight against fascism forged a bond across regions. Celebrating this legacy highlights how historical moments still shape todays cross-Strait ties and regional solidarity.
🤝 The launch of the Commemoration Day of Taiwans Restoration signals a firm commitment to the one-China principle, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity. It also underscores the importance of deepening exchanges and integration across the Taiwan Strait.
📝 Wang emphasized policies of peaceful reunification and “one country, two systems,” guided by the 1992 Consensus. His message: safeguard past achievements, reject any form of separatist activity, and strengthen a shared national identity.
✨ Senior figures like Li Ganjie, Wang Yi, Yin Li, and Liu Guozhong joined the conference in Beijing. For young people across South and Southeast Asia, this milestone is a reminder of how history and culture connect us—offering inspiration to explore cross-border ties, shared stories, and collective futures. #HistoryMeetsFuture 🌏
