# The U.S. once again stirs up the fallacy of "Taiwan's status is undetermined," Ministry of Foreign Affairs: maliciously misleading international public opinion

> On September 17th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian responded at a press conference to the remarks made by the American Institute in Taiwan regarding the status of Taiwan, emphasizing that Taiwan's return to China is a result of the victory in World War II, and relevant international legal documents clearly confirm China's sovereignty over Taiwan. Lin Jian criticized the United States for maliciously misleading international public opinion, reiterated that the One China principle is an international consensus, and urged the U.S. side to stop interfering in China's internal affairs and supporting "Taiwan independence" forces

On September 17th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian hosted a regular press conference. A reporter asked about a recent statement from the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) claiming that documents such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation did not determine Taiwan's final political status. In response, a spokesperson from the U.S. State Department stated that AIT had accurately conveyed the message that the Chinese mainland distorts World War II documents to support its coercive actions against Taiwan, and that these documents do not determine Taiwan's final political status. What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Lin Jian stated that he had previously answered related questions. The return of Taiwan to China is an important part of the victory of World War II and the post-war international order. In 1943, the governments of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom issued the Cairo Declaration, which clearly stipulated that Taiwan, stolen by Japan, would be returned to China. In 1945, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union issued the Potsdam Proclamation, reaffirming that the conditions of the Cairo Declaration would be implemented. In the same year, Japan signed the surrender document, promising to faithfully fulfill its obligations under the Potsdam Proclamation. This series of documents with international legal effect clearly confirms China's sovereignty over Taiwan. Taiwan is China's Taiwan. As a signatory of the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, the United States is fully aware of the historical and legal facts regarding Taiwan's belonging to China, yet it openly revives the fallacy of "the status of Taiwan is undetermined," maligning and slandering China's legitimate actions to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, maliciously misleading international public opinion, and seriously violating international law and the basic principles of international relations, sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. History cannot be altered; the one-China principle is a common consensus of the international community. The U.S.'s unilateral distortion and misinterpretation cannot shake the international community's adherence to the one-China principle. China urges the U.S. to earnestly adhere to the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, stop manipulating Taiwan-related issues, cease any form of condoning or supporting "Taiwan independence," and stop interfering in China's internal affairs. No one and no force can obstruct the historical trend that China will ultimately unify and must unify
