Anniversary commemoration for all compatriots united for nation

The 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War is something worth celebrating for the Chinese people. This was the consensus that emerged at a symposium in Beijing on Tuesday attended by hundreds of representatives, including those from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese communities.

As evident from the discussions at the symposium, this great victory inspires Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to work together to strive for the complete reunification of the country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

In the struggle against foreign aggression, Chinese compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and many others living overseas, demonstrated how they share a common destiny with the motherland.
