[Lai Qingde said that "the history of World War II must not be distorted" and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded] October 14th, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council held a regular press conference on October 14th. A reporter asked whether the China-US Presidential Meeting held on September 24 included the history of China-US allies in World War II in the outcome list. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities claimed that this move "sends a wrong historical narrative", and Lai Qingde falsely claimed in the so-called "Double Ten" speech that "distortion of the history of World War II will never be allowed." Public opinion on the island criticized the DPP for cutting off the history of the Anti-Japanese War after coming to power and now turning back to compete for an interpretation of the history of World War II. It is really ridiculous. Any comment on this? Spokesperson Chen Binhua responded to questions and said that the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Taiwan were great victories forged by the fearless and bloody struggle of all the Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots. Taiwan's liberation from the Japanese colonial yoke and its return to the embrace of the motherland is a major achievement of China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War, an important part of the post-war international order, and a historical memory that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will never forget. He pointed out that the DPP authorities stubbornly adhere to the separatist stance of "Taiwan independence", arbitrarily distort history, advocate a "Taiwan independence" view of history, and are infatuated with Japan and colonialism. They are the sinners of history. History is a "demon mirror" that reveals the ugly face of the DPP authorities in concocting a "Taiwan independence" view of history, distorting national identity, and severing the historical ties between the two sides. It reveals the true face of the DPP authorities in inciting cross-Strait confrontation and "anti-China resistance." It also reveals the abhorrent face of the DPP authorities in forgetting their ancestors and betraying the nation. We hope that the majority of Taiwan compatriots will recognize the deceptive and harmful nature of the DPP authorities' provocations for "independence", stand on the right side of history, adhere to national justice, adhere to the correct view of history, the nation, and the country, resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, resolutely safeguard peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and strive to promote the great cause of the reunification of the motherland.
