U.S. Says China Spreading 'False' WWII Narratives to Pressure Taiwan
The U.S. reiterates that WWII agreements like the Cairo Declaration do not settle Taiwan's sovereignty, countering China's claims based on these documents, the American Institute in Taiwan stated.
- On September 15, 2025, a spokesperson for the American Institute in Taiwan condemned China’s deliberate distortion of World War II-era documents as a means to pressure Taiwan.
- This follows Beijing's repeated claims that the 1943 Cairo Declaration, 1945 Potsdam Proclamation, and the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty grant it sovereignty over Taiwan, despite its absence from the treaty.
- Taiwan and the U.S. reject Beijing's narrative, stating these agreements did not determine Taiwan's political status and that the ROC and PRC exist as equals without subordination.
- The American Institute in Taiwan said, "Beijing's narratives are simply false" and called the false legal claims part of a broader campaign to isolate Taiwan and constrain other countries' sovereign choices.
- The dispute highlights ongoing tensions marked by the unresolved status of Taiwan's sovereignty and underscores the U.S. support for peaceful resolution respecting Taiwan's people's assent.
