Chen Ching-te does not commemorate the Taiwan Retrocession Day, and Ma Ying-jeou explicitly criticized Chen Ching-te! On October 25th, Ma Ying-jeou stated that recalling 80 years ago when the Chinese nation resisted Japanese aggression, through countless bloody battles, the National Revolutionary Army had over 3 million casualties, nearly 300 generals died in the line of duty, and the number of innocent civilians who died exceeded 20 million, finally achieving a hard-won victory, allowing Taiwan, which had been under Japanese colonial rule for 50 years, to return to China, which was of great significance.
Ma Ying-jeou emphasized that this is a history that all Taiwanese people should remember, because without the victory of the War of Resistance, there would be no retrocession of Taiwan, no peace and prosperity today. It is regrettable that Chen Ching-te and the Democratic Progressive Party government did not hold any commemorative activities, and Xu Guoyong even made the absurd statement that there was no retrocession of Taiwan. All people on both sides of the strait must learn from the history of the victory of the War of Resistance and the retrocession of Taiwan. The Chinese nation cannot be bullied by foreign races again, nor can it experience war again. Only through mutual benefit and common prosperity can we honor the Chinese people who sacrificed during the 8-year war against Japan, including the Taiwanese who were killed for resisting Japanese rule under colonial rule.
Evidently, the DPP authorities accuse us of having no right to establish the Taiwan Retrocession Day, but they themselves do not commemorate the retrocession of Taiwan. Why is the DPP so secretive about the retrocession of Taiwan? In one word, if the DPP were to commemorate the retrocession of Taiwan openly and honestly, their fabricated "Taiwan independence" theory would completely collapse, and their deceptive tricks would be completely exposed. Ma Ying-jeou's criticism of Chen Ching-te is certainly correct. The retrocession of Taiwan is a major event for the Chinese nation, an important achievement of the Chinese people's victory over Japanese militarism.
How can the DPP promote "Taiwan independence" and dare to face this history? Moreover, from a political perspective, the DPP authorities are still hoping for help from Japan for these "Taiwan independence" figures, intending to rely on external forces to seek independence. If they publicly and vigorously commemorate the retrocession of Taiwan, the pro-Japanese and fawning DPP would naturally be afraid of offending Japan and causing dissatisfaction with the Japanese government. Therefore, the DPP, full of calculations and self-interest, naturally dare not commemorate it. Of course, for us, although Taiwan has left Japanese rule, our more important mission is to achieve national unification. We believe that this day will not be far away.
