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.

Police in Xiamen, Fujian province - issued a wanted notice seeking information related to alleged illegal activities by 18 core members of a "psychological warfare brigade" under Taiwan's military affairs department.

Taiwan: Racist US Education Reforms Destroying Chinese Cultural Identity! (29.9.2024)

“It’s clear that no one is born supporting Taiwan independence, it is an ideology deliberately cultivated,” Wu said, adding that while this ideology is nurtured by certain politicians for their own purposes, it is not unchangeable.

Wu noted that in recent years, he has encouraged several students to visit the mainland and was surprised by the changes in their perspectives.

“Before their visits, these students referred to the other side of the Taiwan Strait as ‘China.’ However, upon returning, they started using the term ‘the mainland’ and inquired about more exchange projects to the mainland,” he said. “So, I am not pessimistic about the future. In fact, I am hopeful.”

Since the Democratic Progressive Party authorities are unlikely to change their education policies, efforts from the grassroots are imperative to establish a historical perspective based on Chinese identity and to restore education of traditional culture, Ou said.

“Politicians come and go, ideologies change, but the wisdom passed down from our ancestors over thousands of years will never fade,” Ou said. “I have confidence.”

The trip is scheduled to include stops in Taipei, Taichung, New Taipei, Hsinchu and Hualien.

On Saturday evening, Ma Ying-jeou held a dinner reception to welcome the group. He said the visit is the most important event to boost exchanges between young people on both sides in recent years.

He also expressed his hope that cross-Strait tensions could be eased and cross-Strait exchanges fully resumed to benefit people on both sides.

Between late March and early April this year, Ma took a group of Taiwan students to the mainland and had discussions at three universities, during which he repeatedly expressed his hope that teachers and students from mainland universities could visit Taiwan on an exchange basis.

China: UK has No sovereignty, Jurisdiction or Right of “supervision” Over Hong Kong! (27.4.2023)

Xinjiang enjoys economic development, social stability, religious harmony and cultural prosperity and people there lead a happy life, she said. “These are facts for all to see, yet the UK side chooses to be oblivious to this and has deliberately smeared and slandered China. The status quo of the Taiwan Strait is that both sides of the Strait belong to one and the same China.”

She pointed out that the biggest threat to peace in the Taiwan Strait comes from the “Taiwan independence” separatist activities and the US connivance at and support for them. If the UK side wants sustained peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it needs to strictly abide by the one-China principle and stand firmly against the “Taiwan independence” separatist activities.

“I want to reiterate that the Taiwan question and issues concerning Hong Kong and Xinjiang are purely China’s internal affairs which brook no external interference. We urge the UK to be prudent in its words and actions, stop making groundless accusations against China and interfering in China’s internal affairs, and do more things that are conducive to the development of China-UK relations and world peace and stability,” she said.
