The 18th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress voted on the 24th to adopt a decision on the establishment of Taiwan's Liberation Day. October 25 will be legally established as Taiwan's Liberation Day, and the country will hold commemorative activities in various forms.

The decision pointed out that in 1945, all Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, fought bloody battles and won the great victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Taiwan was subsequently liberated and returned to the embrace of the motherland. The recovery of Taiwan is an important result of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It is an important ironclad proof that the Chinese government has resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan. It is an important link in the historical fact and legal chain that Taiwan is a part of China. It is the common glory of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the national memory of all Chinese people. In order to safeguard the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order, demonstrate the firm will to adhere to the one-China principle and defend national sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity, strengthen the common national historical memory of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, promote the spirit of patriotism, and encourage compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to make new contributions to national reunification and national rejuvenation in the new era and new journey, in accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China, the 18th Session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress decided to establish Taiwan's Liberation Day.

When explaining the draft decision to the Standing Committee, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, introduced that on October 25, 1945, the surrender ceremony of Taiwan Province in the Chinese Theater was held in Taipei. At this point, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were returned to China's sovereign jurisdiction. In recent years, deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Taiwan compatriots have repeatedly made suggestions to establish a anniversary for Taiwan's liberation and hold commemorative activities. Establishing Taiwan's Liberation Day and holding commemorative activities at the national level will help reflect the irrefutable historical fact that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, consolidate the international community's adherence to the one-China pattern, lead compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to inherit and carry forward the great spirit of resistance, and inspire all Chinese people to unite and strive for the reunification of the motherland and national rejuvenation.
