Tensions flared as China accused the U.S. of twisting historical WWII agreements to undermine Taiwan’s status as part of the Chinese mainland. 🇨🇳 Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian called out Washington for 'unilateral distortion' of key documents like the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation, which solidified Taiwan’s return to China after WWII.
'The one-China principle isn’t up for debate—it’s a global consensus,' Lin stated Wednesday, urging the U.S. to stop 'playing games' with Taiwan’s status. 🚫 The remarks came after U.S. officials claimed the WWII-era pacts didn’t finalize Taiwan’s political future—a stance Beijing calls 'dangerous revisionism.'
Lin doubled down on calls for Washington to honor the three China-U.S. joint communiques and avoid meddling in cross-strait affairs. 🔥 Analysts say the clash highlights growing friction over Taiwan, with Beijing framing U.S. actions as tacit support for 'Taiwan independence' forces.
As Gen Z navigates 21st-century geopolitics, this debate over 1940s documents feels like a history class showdown—but with real-world stakes. 📜💥
