Bill > HRes689

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong opposition to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) historical revisionism regarding World War II in Asia, specifically challenging the CCP's claim of primary credit for defeating Imperial Japan. The resolution highlights the critical contributions of the Republic of China (ROC), led by the Nationalists, who bore the brunt of fighting against Japan, while the CCP conducted minimal military operations. It emphasizes historical facts such as the ROC's representative signing the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, the collaboration between American and ROC forces, and the CCP's minimal combat involvement. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to counter CCP propaganda through public diplomacy, media outreach, and international organizations, and urges educational institutions to teach accurate historical narratives. Additionally, it recognizes the wartime accomplishments of the ROC and the United States, commends the American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers), and acknowledges Japan's postwar contributions to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The resolution supports Taiwan's efforts to strengthen international relationships and participate in global organizations, consistent with existing U.S. policy.
