Establishment of Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration

The 18th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) voted to establish Commemoration Day of Taiwan's Restoration.

On October 25, 1945, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, which had been occupied by Japan, were restored to China's administration after the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

The restoration marked the victory of the Chinese nation's 14-year-long War of Resistance and the triumph of the Taiwan compatriots' 50-year struggle against Japan's occupation.

Taiwan's restoration is a solemn moment when the Chinese government recovered its lost territory and resumed sovereignty over the island.

Author's summary: Taiwan's restoration commemorated.
