China's Foreign Ministry has slammed recent claims by Taiwan authorities attempting to rewrite history books 📚, calling their interpretation of the San Francisco Treaty "illegal and invalid." Spokesperson Mao Ning fired back during a press conference, stressing Taiwan's return to China was cemented in post-WWII agreements like the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation.
History 101: Why Taiwan Is Part of China
Mao highlighted that documents like Japan’s 1945 surrender and the UN Charter confirm China’s sovereignty over Taiwan. "The PRC became China’s sole legitimate government in 1949, but Taiwan’s status as Chinese territory hasn’t changed—not even a pixel 🖼️," she said, comparing it to updating a national operating system without altering borders.
San Francisco Treaty? More Like a Glitch 🚫
The spokesperson called the 1951 treaty—crafted without China’s input—a diplomatic fail. "Excluding the PRC and Soviet Union broke international law 101," Mao argued, adding it violated the 1942 UN Declaration signed by 26 nations. "You can’t play musical chairs with China’s territory 🪑."
DPP’s ‘Fake News’ Alert 🚨
Mao accused Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of twisting history for political gains. "Their fan fiction won’t change facts: Taiwan is China’s, and reunification is inevitable 🌅," she said, urging the world to respect the one-China principle.
With tensions simmering in the Taiwan Strait, this clash of narratives shows no sign of cooling down ❄️🔥.
