BEIJING -- China is preparing to hold a significant gathering around October 25th to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's recovery from Japanese occupation. This announcement was made on Tuesday by a high-ranking official, signaling the importance China places on this historical milestone. The event is expected to be a major focal point in the country's remembrance of this pivotal period.
The upcoming gathering is just one component of a broader series of events planned to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Hu Heping, the executive vice-minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, confirmed this during a press conference. This underscores the interconnectedness of Taiwan's recovery with the larger global struggle against fascism.
In addition to the central gathering, the Chinese government will also extend support to overseas Chinese communities. This assistance will enable them to organize their own commemorative events, allowing for a wider and more inclusive recognition of the anniversary. This initiative highlights the government's commitment to fostering a sense of shared history and remembrance among Chinese communities worldwide.

Celebrating an event that perpetuates divisions isn't progress; it only deepens tensions with Taiwan.
