The bicameral effort highlights that freedom in Taiwan, democracy in Japan, and stability across the Indo-Pacific are the result of courage, sacrifice, and an accurate accounting of history\u2014not the CCP\u2019s revisionist narrative.\n\n\u201cThe Chinese Communist Party routinely employs propaganda and censorship to construct a distorted narrative about its past and present actions that are at odds with actual history,\u201d said Sullivan. \u201cCongressman Smith and I urge our colleagues to join us in passing our resolution to call out the CCP\u2019s deception about the Allied Victory in World War II and urge the Trump administration, via public diplomacy and media outreach, to highlight the sacrifices and heroism of America\u2019s veterans and those of our allies and partners, including the Republic of China, which helped halt the march of tyranny in the Indo-Pacific during one of the darkest chapters in human history.\u201d\n\nThe resolution:\n\nCondemns the CCP\u2019s \u201cstolen valor\u201d historical revisionism regarding Allied victory in Asia;\n\nCommemorates the immense human and material sacrifices made by the Republic of China and the United States during World War II;\n\nRecognizes postwar Japan\u2019s transformation into a democratic ally and its contributions to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific; and\n\nAffirms enduring U.S. support for Taiwan\u2019s freedom, security, and self-defense against coercion and aggression from the CCP.\n\nClick here to view the resolution.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.sullivan.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sullivan-leads-effort-to-correct-ccps-revisionist-wwii-history"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.875075114890933, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
