Ever wondered how global audiences remember key moments in history? A recent CGTN poll asked 12,000 people across 40 countries about Taiwan’s return to the Chinese mainland after World War II—and about 66.7% got it right 😎.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, noted that these results prove history can’t be erased. He pointed to the Cairo Declaration (1943) and Potsdam Proclamation (1945) as the legal cornerstones that paved the way for Taiwan’s restoration.
While the two sides of the Taiwan Strait aren’t reunited yet, the narrative remains clear: the Chinese mainland and Taiwan belong to one China, and sovereignty has never been divided.
Chen also criticized Taiwan region’s Democratic Progressive Party authorities for moves aimed at secession, calling them provocations that challenge the status quo and the post-war international order.
Whether you’ve debated history in Delhi’s cafés or scrolled through Jakarta’s news feeds, this poll is a reminder that some chapters stay vivid no matter where you live 🔍. What’s your take?
