On October 25, 2025, the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia held a symposium commemorating the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's retrocession. Ambassador Wang Lutong delivered a keynote speech, announcing that the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has decided to designate October 25 as "Taiwan Retrocession Day." The establishment of this commemoration day marks the return of Taiwan to the motherland in 1945, washing away the humiliation of modern China's invasion.
It also recognizes the contributions of Taiwanese compatriots in resisting Japanese colonial rule, emphasizing that international legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation confirm China's sovereignty over Taiwan. He pointed out that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 explicitly recognizes the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative, and that Taiwan's official designation in the United Nations is "Taiwan, Province of China."
The Ambassador criticized the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' "reliance on external forces to seek independence" actions as threatening cross-strait peace, reaffirming that achieving national reunification is the firm goal of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. He also cited the national leader's statement that "the Taiwan issue will inevitably be resolved with national rejuvenation." He expressed hope that Indonesian compatriots would play a bridging role in telling the history of Taiwan's retrocession to the international community and rallying consensus against "Taiwan independence" and for reunification.
