The One-China Principle has been evolved in the course of the Chinese people's just struggle to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity， and its basis， both de facto and de jure，is unshakable.
　　Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. All the facts and laws about Taiwan prove that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. In April 1895， through a war of aggression against China， Japan forced the Qing gov-ernment to sign the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki， and forcibly occupied Tai-wan. In July 1937， Japan launched an all-out war of aggression against China. In December 1941， the Chinese government issued the Proclamation of China's Declaration of War Against Japan， announcing to the world that all treaties，agreements and contracts concerning Sino-Japanese relations， including the Treaty of Shimonoseki， had been abrogated， and that China would recover Tai-wan. In December 1943， the Cairo Declaration was issued by the Chinese， U.S. and British governments， stipulating that Japan should return to China all the territories it had stolen from the Chinese， including Northeast China， Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago. The Potsdam Proclamation sjgned by China， the United States and Britain in 1945 （later adhered to by the Soviet Union） stipu-lated that "The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out." In August of that year， Japan declared surrender and promised in its instrument of surren-der that it would faithfully fulfil the obligations laid down in the Potsdam Proc-lamation. On October 25， 1945， the Chinese government recovered Taiwan and the Penghu Archipelago， resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Taiwan.
