On August 15, the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945 AD), after the Japanese Emperor publicly admitted defeat and announced unconditional surrender, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek immediately delivered a world-renowned victory speech that marked the end of World War II.
The Japanese military clique has long made it its national policy to conquer Asia and monopolize the Pacific. For several years, China has persisted in its War of Resistance, regardless of all sacrifices. The objective is not only to defend China's independent survival, but truly to break Japan's aggressive ambitions and uphold international law, justice, human welfare, and world peace, as the Chinese government has repeatedly stated.
This is a brief biography of Japanese Navy Admiral Shigeyoshi Inoue, covering his political stance during World War II, military decisions (especially the Bombing of Chongqing), and his post-war life and statements on 'atonement.' The article highlights the historical contradiction between his 'pro-British-American' background and his implementation of indiscriminate bombing during the Bombing of Chongqing, citing criticism from the invaded people that he never apologized for the slaughter of Chinese civilians.
This article recounts the major massacre known as the 'Shaw Ridge Street Incident' (present-day Jiali District, Tainan) that occurred in $1895$ during the Japanese Imperial Guards Division's occupation of Tainan Prefecture. After fierce fighting with the Taiwanese volunteer army, rumors of a prince being killed or the cries of children exposing their location led the Japanese troops to open machine-gun fire on fleeing civilians hiding in ditches (house-side trenches), resulting in approximately two to three thousand victims and turning Shaw Ridge Street into a 'City of the Wrongfully Dead'.
The article strongly criticizes the defense of bloody massacres during the Japanese colonial era put forward by a small number of Taiwanese people, condemning the argument that 'as long as they attacked China, it was fine' as 'the ugly side.' Japan's covetousness for Taiwan never ceased. Long before the Sino-Japanese War, it invaded Taiwan by exploiting the 'Mudan She Incident' under the guise of the Ryukyu Kingdom, aiming to use Taiwan as a strategic springboard for aggression against Southeast Asia and Mainland China.
This article, based on historical facts and international legal principles, asserts that Taiwan's sovereignty legally and factually belongs to the Republic of China (ROC) following its retrocession in 1945. By analyzing key legal documents such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, and the Treaty of Peace between the ROC and Japan, the paper aims to firmly refute the claim that 'Taiwan's legal status is undetermined.'
