BEIJING, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) — About 100 representatives from both sides of the Taiwan Strait attended a meeting in Beijing on Tuesday to mark the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's return to China.
Zheng Ping, Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, said at the event that the return of Taiwan was an important achievement of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
He stressed that international legal documents, including the Cairo Declaration of 1943 and the Potsdam Declaration of 1945, confirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan, and the Taiwanese people's half-century of resistance to Japanese rule was further proof of their Chinese identity.
Several young people from Taiwan also shared their thoughts on this issue. Lin Jingmao, a student at Peking University and a native of Changhua, Taiwan, noted that commemorating Taiwan's return to China is not only a tribute to history but also a way to awaken the Chinese identity of Taiwanese society, especially among young people, and to refute separatist historical rhetoric promoting the idea of "Taiwan independence."
The event was jointly organized by the All-China Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, Zhongguo Ribao, the Beijing Association of Taiwan Compatriots, and the Association of Relatives of Taiwan Patriots Who Resisted Japanese Aggression.
