Moscow, May 7 (Xinhua) — China’s reunification remains an irreversible historical trend, according to an opinion piece by Xi Jinping published Wednesday by Rossiyskaya Gazeta ahead of his arrival in Russia on a state visit and participation in celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in the Great Patriotic War.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s liberation from Japanese occupation. Taiwan’s return to China is an important part of the outcome of World War II and the post-war world order, Xi Jinping noted.
A number of international legally binding documents, most notably the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration, have unequivocally affirmed China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, the article says. It adds that the historical and legal facts are beyond doubt, and the authority of UNGA Resolution 2758 is not contested.
No matter how the situation in Taiwan changes, no matter what attempts at interference are made from outside, the complete reunification of China remains an irreversible historical trend, Xi Jinping stressed.
Resolute support for each other on issues affecting the core interests and major concerns of the two countries is a constant for China and Russia, Xi Jinping noted. “We highly appreciate that the Russian side has repeatedly reaffirmed its commitment to the one-China principle and recognizes Taiwan as an inalienable part of China, opposes ‘Taiwan independence’ in any form, and firmly supports all measures taken by the Chinese government and people to achieve national reunification,” the article says. –0–
