The Chinese Communist Party will expand the commemorative activities for the "160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth" in Beijing in November. Officials familiar with the Chinese Communist Party's United Front revealed in an interview with this newspaper that according to our knowledge, Chinese President Xi Jinping will personally host the event. The Chinese Communist Party is trying to monopolize Sun Yat-sen's right to interpret history. It will also invite the Kuomintang to China to actively promote integration and reunification and create a general trend of cross-strait reunification.
Officials pointed out that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation, and October 25 this year marks the 81st anniversary. The Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee will be held on the 26th of this month. Prior to that, Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, will preside over activities related to the "81st Anniversary of Taiwan's Restoration" to review and judge the government work report of the Fifth Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee, which will also include sections targeting Taiwan.

Officials further stated that November 3rd is the U.S. midterm election. On the 12th, the CCP will hold an expanded commemorative event for the "160th Anniversary of the Birth of Sun Yat-sen," which will be hosted by Xi Jinping himself. High-level officials from the Kuomintang will also be invited to participate. The CCP will use Sun Wen's ideas to promote reunification with Taiwan using distorted narratives.
According to official analysis, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference (APEC) will be held in Shenzhen, China from November 17 to 19, and there may be a third "Trump-Xi meeting" at that time. China will also have some political manipulations against Taiwan in an attempt to influence Taiwan's local elections on November 28.
"The Chinese Communist Party will use nodes to actively promote unification!" Officials said that there are many important nodes from October to November. China may use these nodes to carry out various united front actions against Taiwan, and relevant units will be prepared to respond. This year's "Fifth Plenary Session" is to prepare for next year's "21st Party Congress". The work on Taiwan will be carried out very tightly and will be pushed forward step by step. Taiwan's cooperative political parties will also be found to cooperate in the united front.
Officials criticized that the CCP wants to monopolize historical interpretation. We have reminded Taiwanese academics or Sun scholars not to cooperate with the CCP’s statement. The CCP has already monopolized the right to interpret the historical narrative of World War II and will also misinterpret Sun Yat-sen's teachings. Especially since Xi Jinping personally presided over the commemoration of the "160th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth" this time, the CCP's propaganda department will definitely increase publicity.
Officials questioned that Sun Wen was regarded as the forerunner of the revolution by the CCP. In the 1940s, Mao Zedong completely misinterpreted Sun Wen's Three People's Principles and claimed to replace Sun Wen's Three People's Principles with "new democracy." This misinterpretation began at that time. Now, in order to promote reunification with Taiwan, they are trying their best to distort Sun Yat-sen's theory, and even claim to be the successor of Sun Yat-sen's revolution to complete reunification and create a general trend of cross-strait reunification. If members of the opposition parties participate, this kind of cognitive warfare will be strengthened and fall into the "pro-unification division".
He emphasized that the Chinese Communist Party has announced that it will hold commemorative activities for the "160th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Sun Yat-sen" this year, and reminded Chinese people to abide by relevant norms when engaging in cross-strait exchanges, pay attention to mainstream public opinion and social perceptions, and should not echo the Chinese Communist Party's historical view and political opinions on Taiwan to avoid becoming a tool of Beijing's united front.
