Beijing, November 5 (Xinhua) — The establishment of Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day (October 25) and the holding of state-level commemorative events to mark the 80th anniversary of the island's liberation from Japanese occupation fully reflect the will of the people and the state, Zhang Han, the new spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Zhang Han called these steps "a powerful defense of the historical fact of Taiwan's return to the bosom of the motherland." They will serve as a guide for compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait in preserving and developing patriotic traditions, inspiring all Chinese people to join forces in the struggle for national reunification and national revival, she said.
The Taiwan question concerns China's core interests and the national sentiments of the Chinese people, the spokesperson continued, emphasizing the state's responsibility to help compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait remember history and maintain peace, as well as to work for their benefit and strive to improve their well-being.
“We also have a responsibility to help our Taiwanese compatriots clearly understand the historical and legal fact that both sides of the Strait belong to one China, to understand the nature of the separatist forces that advocate for ‘Taiwan independence’ while actually harming Taiwan, and to recognize the historical inevitability of national reunification,” Zhang Han said.
The official spokesperson stated that the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China is committed to continuing to uphold the one-China principle, resolutely oppose separatist activities seeking "Taiwan independence" and interference by external forces, respect and benefit Taiwan compatriots, deepen cross-Strait exchanges, cooperation and integrated development, and ensure common access to the opportunities and achievements of China's modernization.
"We will work together with our compatriots in Taiwan to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and contribute to the great cause of national reunification and national rejuvenation," Zhang Han added. -0-
