Mainland China Releases Multiple High-Resolution Satellite Images of Taiwan

(China, 27th) After mainland Chinese authorities designated October 25 as Taiwan Recovery Day, local commercial satellite companies released multiple high-resolution satellite images of Taiwan, including areas such as Taipei City, Taipei Port, and Hsinchu Science Park.
On Saturday, October 25, 'Jilin-1' published an article on its WeChat public account entitled “A Satellite Perspective of China's Taiwan Province”. The article stated that the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japan resulted in Taiwan's return to the mainland’s map. “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and this historical fact is irrefutable.”
The article further said: “On October 25, 2025, the first Taiwan Recovery Day, every inch of land in China’s Taiwan Province will be full of vitality under the space perspective of 'Jilin-1'.” 
Saturday, October 25, was the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery. The day before (October 24), the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China decided to legally designate October 25 as Taiwan Recovery Day.
'Jilin-1' published eight high-resolution satellite images, covering Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Hengchun Peninsula, Eluanbi, Taipei City, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taipei Port, and Hsinchu Science Park. The images vividly display mountain ranges, city road networks, and coastal scenery, with some photo details even revealing street layouts and building structures.
Regarding the satellite image of Taipei City, 'Jilin-1' noted that the urban fabric of Taipei spreads out clearly, with the Tamsui River winding through the city like a silver ribbon. The interconnected roads form a network, seamlessly blending the vitality of a modern metropolis with natural textures, echoing the flourishing styles of first-tier cities in the mainland.
The Global Times quoted Chyi Gia-lin, honorary chairman of the Unification Alliance Party, who is participating in a series of events in Beijing commemorating the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery. She said that if these commercial satellite images are so clear, the images captured by military satellites must be even clearer. “The comparative strength of both sides of the strait is well understood by Taiwanese society.”
