Taiwan's "Foreign Minister" Lin Chia-lung denied that Taiwan was returned to China, drawing strong condemnation from public opinion.

Xinhua News Agency reported today: "In response to Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's statement that the return of Taiwan to China is a result of the victory in World War II, Taiwan's 'Foreign Minister' Lin Jialong criticized Wang Yi's statement as a malicious distortion of historical facts, saying, 'The People's Republic of China has never ruled Taiwan and has no right to represent Taiwan in the international community.'"

August 15 marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender, the victory of the War of Resistance, and the resumption of Taiwan. At this special moment to remember the martyrs and commemorate the victory, 'Taiwan independence' elements not only do not commemorate the martyrs of the war of resistance, but also distort the history of World War II for their own 'independence' interests, provoking the mainland, splitting the two sides of the strait, and glorifying Japanese aggression. Their open denial of historical facts and betrayal of the national cause are disgraceful and despicable, and will be eternally nailed to the pillar of historical shame.
