The State Council Taiwan Affairs Office on Wednesday says any attempt to change the fact that Taiwan is part of China will be in vain.
The mainland Spokesperson, Ma Xiaoguang, made the remarks following reports that the Cairo Declaration will no longer be part of the curriculum in Taiwan’s high schools.
Ma noted that the official websites had already removed related content.
He said: “The Cairo Declaration clearly stipulated that Chinese territory taken by Japan, such as Manchuria, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, should be returned to China.
“The Potsdam Proclamation, signed by China, the U.S. and Britain, later acceded to by the Soviet Union, stipulated that the terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.
“It was the international legal ground for Japan to surrender.’
According to the spokesperson, there is only one China and Taiwan is an integral part of China, which is the legal basis recognised by the international community.
