Nation Marks 80th Anniversary of Taiwan's Restoration
People from both sides of the Taiwan Strait stated that no separatist forces can erase the shared history and national identity that bind people across the Strait, as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's restoration to China was commemorated in Beijing.
A grand gathering celebrating the anniversary was held in Beijing, marking the first Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration, following an official designation by the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.
Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, called on compatriots on both sides of the Strait to work together to advance national reunification and to firmly oppose all forms of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities.
