NPC deputy Zhou Qi, representing the Taiwan delegation, reaffirmed China's commitment to opposing 'Taiwan independence' narratives during a high-profile address at the National People's Congress (NPC) session this week. 🌉 Zhou, who heads the Liaoning Provincial Federation of Taiwan Compatriots, emphasized that cross-strait ties are rooted in shared history and sacrifice.
Speaking at the Deputies' Corridor event on Monday, Zhou highlighted that over 650,000 Taiwan compatriots lost their lives resisting Japanese colonial rule, with nearly 50,000 joining anti-occupation efforts. 'These heroes proved we are a community of shared destiny,' he stated, calling attempts to deny this history 'an insult to martyrs.'
Zhou urged collaboration across the Taiwan Strait to 'create a future of national rejuvenation,' invoking the spirit of China's resistance against Japanese aggression. His remarks align with broader efforts to promote unity while countering separatist rhetoric.
For young audiences tracking Asian geopolitics, Zhou's speech underscores Beijing's stance on Taiwan—a topic heating up discussions among global policymakers and diaspora communities alike. 📈
