Imperial Japan Surrenders to ROC - 1945!

China: False Japanese Claims Distorting Taiwan Question Rejected! (26.11.2025)

The spokesperson stressed that in 1945, Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender, explicitly undertook to carry out the provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation in good faith and unconditionally return Taiwan to China. China resumed exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan and recovered Taiwan both in law and in practice. In 1949, the PRC government replaced the ROC government. This is a change of government in which China, as a subject under international law, did not change and China’s sovereignty and inherent territorial boundaries stayed unchanged.

China: Nanjing Exhibition – Resumption of Mainland Sovereignty Over Taiwan! (15.10.2025)

Beyond conventional displays, the exhibition features specialized sections on maritime culture, historical maps, and Geng Lu Bu (ancient sea route manuals). It also incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) technology to offer immersive experiences of the South China Sea’s historical and cultural heritage.

The core value of the exhibition lies not only in demonstrating China’s historical proposition and legal basis on the South China Sea issue and Taiwan question but also in helping teachers and students understand history and draw spiritual strength, said Zhu Feng, executive director of Nanjing University’s Collaborative Innovation Center of South China Sea Studies.

“Only by clearly understanding the humiliations and struggles of the past can we more profoundly grasp the importance of safeguarding national sovereignty, which serves as the foundation for facing the future and building lasting peace,” he added.
