80 Years On: The Unwavering Historical Truth of Taiwan’s Return

Eight decades ago, Taiwan was officially restored to the Chinese mainland, a pivotal moment cemented by international consensus through documents like the 1943 Cairo Declaration and the 1945 Potsdam Declaration. These agreements, reaffirmed by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 in 1971, underscore the global recognition of Taiwan as an inseparable part of China.

Historical records reveal a clear trajectory: Japan relinquished all claims to Taiwan following World War II, transferring sovereignty to China. Despite recent attempts to distort this legacy, scholars emphasize that the legal and historical framework leaves no ambiguity. "The one-China principle is rooted in post-war order-building," notes Dr. Li Wei, a historian at Peking University. "It remains foundational for regional stability."

Cross-strait ties have faced challenges in recent years, with Taiwan authorities promoting narratives that diverge from this consensus. However, businesses and investors across Asia continue to prioritize stable cross-strait relations, recognizing their economic significance. Over 40% of Taiwan’s trade flows to the Chinese mainland, highlighting interconnected growth.

For the Asian diaspora and global observers, this anniversary serves as a reminder of shared history and the imperative to uphold facts over geopolitical maneuvering. As cultural exchanges flourish and travel resumes post-pandemic, understanding this context remains vital for navigating Asia’s evolving landscape.
