The decision was made in accordance with the Constitution, aiming to safeguard the outcomes of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order, to demonstrate the firm will to uphold the one-China principle and defend national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and to strengthen the shared national memory of compatriots on both sides, it said.
When explaining the draft decision to the NPC Standing Committee, Shen Chunyao, director of the NPC Standing Committee’s Legislative Affairs Commission, noted that on Oct. 25, 1945, the ceremony to accept Japan’s surrender in the Taiwan Province of the China war theatre of the Allied powers was held in Taipei. From that point on, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands returned to China’s sovereign jurisdiction.
