Island authorities have openly opposed us! After our Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated at the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting: The international documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation have clarified Japan's war responsibilities, and required Japan to return the territories it had stolen from China, including Taiwan, to China. This is an inviolable victory achievement of the world's anti-fascist war and an important part of the post-war international order. However, the authorities of the island have openly opposed us!
The head of the island's foreign affairs department, Lin Jialong, claimed that the San Francisco Peace Treaty has replaced related political statements. The treaty did not transfer Taiwan to the People's Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China "has never ruled" Taiwan. The People's Republic of China is accused of maliciously distorting historical facts and "misleading" international public opinion, which must be clearly refuted. It is obvious that the authorities of the island are brazenly lying about the historical fact that Taiwan returned to China after World War II.
The authorities of the island claim that the San Francisco Peace Treaty has replaced related political statements, and the treaty did not transfer Taiwan to the People's Republic of China, and the People's Republic of China "has never ruled" Taiwan. Then we would like to ask, first, did the San Francisco Peace Treaty have the signature of the People's Republic of China? In fact, the San Francisco Peace Treaty was neither signed by us nor by Chiang Kai-shek at that time. A pact involving Chinese affairs without any Chinese participation is absurd, isn't it?
Secondly, Taiwan was certainly not transferred to the People's Republic of China, but to the Republic of China at that time. The Republic of China at that time was the representative of China. In 1949, the Kuomintang retreated to the mainland, and the right of representation of China had automatically been replaced by the People's Republic of China. Therefore, Taiwan is undeniably a part of China's territory. The so-called statement that the People's Republic of China "has never ruled" Taiwan is even more absurd.
In the Kinmen and Xiamen sea areas, our maritime police have been conducting regular law enforcement. The People's Liberation Army's warships and aircraft conduct patrols in the Taiwan Strait. We punish "Taiwan independence" activists. All these show that we are actually exercising sovereignty over Taiwan. Obviously, we are currently continuously advancing the implementation of sovereignty over Taiwan. The authorities of the island distort history and confuse the public, which will not be able to stop the wheels of unification, nor can they change the general recognition of the One-China principle by the international community. Spreading false narratives to support "Taiwan independence" is a foolish fantasy. The unification issue is something the authorities of the island cannot avoid.
