Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, during his trip to Berlin, visited the Potsdam Palace, where the Potsdam agreements, which laid the basis for the postwar world order, were signed. These agreements also included the demand for returning all Japanese-occupied areas, including Taiwan, to their legitimate authorities, in this case China.
The Potsdam Conference in 1945 played an important role in establishing the international order after World War II, and has special historical significance for the Chinese people, Qin said. The “Potsdam Proclamation” issued after the meeting reiterated the provisions of the “Cairo Declaration,” including that the Chinese territories stolen by Japan, including Taiwan, should be returned to China. This is a major achievement of the World Anti-Fascist War. It was paid for by the lives and blood of 35 million Chinese soldiers and civilians, Qin declared.
