Taipei says Chinese party falsely claiming credit for leading fight against Japan
-
BEIJING - China said on Aug. 27 that Taiwan was "blaspheming" the sacrifices of those who died fighting Japan in World War II by denying the pivotal role of the Communist Party, and denounced Taipei's call for Taiwanese to stay away from Beijing's commemorations.
The 80th anniversary of the end of the war in 2025 has set off a bitter battle of narratives between Beijing and Taipei.
Taiwan says China's ruling Communist Party is falsely claiming credit for leading the fighting when most of it was done by Republic of China forces, whose government then fled to the island in 1949, after losing a civil war.
