Establishment of Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration

The 18th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) has voted to establish a national commemorative day, marking the restoration of Taiwan to China's sovereign administration.

On October 25, 1945, following the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were restored to China.

The restoration and return of Taiwan to the motherland marked the victory of the Chinese nation's 14-year-long War of Resistance, and represented the triumph of the Taiwan compatriots' 50-year struggle against Japan's occupation and colonial rule.

This commemorative day signifies a solemn moment in history when the Chinese government recovered its lost territory and resumed sovereignty over the island after half a century of struggle.

Author's summary: Taiwan's restoration marked a historic victory.
