This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s Anti-Secession Law, enacted in 2005 by the National People’s Congress. Lawmakers hailed it as a powerful legal guarantee for peaceful national reunification.
Over the past two decades, the law has played a crucial role as a deterrent against separatist elements seeking Taiwan independence, safeguarding national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and peace across the Taiwan Strait.
At a recent symposium commemorating this milestone, China’s top legislator Zhao Leji stressed the importance of strengthening determination to advance national reunification. He stated, "Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation and a natural requirement for realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
The enduring impact of the Anti-Secession Law underscores its role as a cornerstone for national stability and a symbol of the one-China principle. Its measures have consistently contributed to deterring separatist activities and promoting peace in the region.
As the celebration highlights two decades of legal and historical significance, the law continues to inspire a shared commitment to national unity and a vision for future peaceful reunification, reinforcing the nation's journey toward rejuvenation.
