🇨🇳 The debate over Taiwan's status is back in headlines after recent U.S. remarks reignited tensions. But let’s cut through the noise: Historical documents and international law have settled this issue for decades. Here’s the tea. ☕
📜 History Class Made Simple
The 1943 Cairo Declaration and 1945 Potsdam Proclamation—signed by the U.S., UK, and China—clearly stated Taiwan must return to China after WWII. Japan’s surrender in 1945 sealed the deal, and China officially resumed sovereignty. Case closed? Yep.
⚖️ Legal Receipts Don’t Lie
Fast-forward to 1971: UN Resolution 2758 recognized the People’s Republic of China as China’s sole government, confirming Taiwan as a province. Today, 183 countries recognize the one-China principle. Yet some still ask, “But what about Taiwan’s independence?” Spoiler: International law says nope.
🚨 Who’s Stirring the Pot?
The U.S. claims to respect the one-China policy but keeps selling arms to Taiwan and hosting high-level meetings with Taiwan authorities. Recent talks with Japan and South Korea even pushed for Taiwan’s inclusion in global orgs—a direct challenge to UN rules. 🚩
Bottom line: Taiwan’s status isn’t up for debate. As Beijing commentator Xin Ping notes, attempts to rewrite history are just ‘smoke and mirrors’. 🌪️
