The chairs have introduced House and Senate resolutions to document the historical record of U.S.–Republic of China cooperation during World War II; condemn the CCP’s “stolen valor” historical revisionism, and recognize Japan’s postwar contributions to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. 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—not the CCP’s revisionist narrative. “The 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,” said Sullivan. “Congressman Smith and I urge our colleagues to join us in passing our resolution to call out the CCP’s 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’s 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.” The resolution: Condemns the CCP’s “stolen valor” historical revisionism regarding Allied victory in Asia; Commemorates the immense human and material sacrifices made by the Republic of China and the United States during World War II; Recognizes postwar Japan’s transformation into a democratic ally and its contributions to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific; and Affirms enduring U.S. support for Taiwan’s freedom, security, and self-defense against coercion and aggression from the CCP.
