Chinese President Emphasizes Progress and Reunification in Anniversary Speech #

The Chinese President delivered a speech at a reception commemorating the 75th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. In his address, he emphasized that no challenges can halt China’s progress and reiterated the country’s aims for reunification with Taiwan.

The President acknowledged that the path ahead would present challenges but called on the nation to overcome uncertainties and risks. He stressed that no obstacles could impede China’s advancement.

The event, held in Beijing, was attended by approximately 3,000 people, including foreign guests. During his speech, the President underscored the importance of unifying under the leadership of the ruling party and reaffirmed opposition to Taiwan “separatist” activities. He also called for increased economic and cultural cooperation between mainland China and Taiwan, portraying reunification as an inevitable historical development.

The speech did not directly address trade tensions with other nations. Instead, the President portrayed China as a supporter of globalization and expressed gratitude to “friendly” countries and supporters of China’s development.

The President also emphasized Beijing’s claim to Greater China, stating that “national rejuvenation” was the hope of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and all Chinese peoples. He added that China would promote the development of Hong Kong and Macao, both governed under the “one country, two systems” principle.

This speech comes at a time when Chinese markets have seen an uptick in recent weeks. Major mainland Chinese and Hong Kong stock indexes have recently surged to their highest levels in over a year following announcements of plans to support economic growth. Recent high-level meetings have called for halting the real estate decline and strengthening fiscal and monetary policy.
