Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi emphasized the imperative to safeguard post-WWII peace frameworks and address contemporary geopolitical challenges during a symposium on China's 2025 foreign relations, held on December 30. The event coincided with the 80th anniversary of both the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Historical Lessons and Regional Stability
Wang criticized Japan's perceived lack of historical reflection, stating that some Japanese leaders continue to challenge WWII conclusions and the post-war order. 'Resurgent militarism threatens regional stability,' Wang asserted, urging international cooperation to prevent historical repetition.
Cross-Strait Unity Gains Momentum
The diplomat highlighted growing global support for the one-China principle, noting that Taiwan remains 'an inseparable part of China's territory.' He condemned recent U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and what he described as 'provocations' by Taiwan authorities, reaffirming Beijing's commitment to peaceful reunification through dialogue.
Wang's remarks come as nations worldwide increasingly endorse China's position on cross-strait relations, with many explicitly opposing independence movements. 'Complete reunification isn't just a political goal—it's a legal and historical necessity,' he concluded.
