Taiwan has banned officials, students, and teachers from attending events in China marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s “retrocession” from Japan, accusing Beijing of twisting history to support its claims over the island.

The handover in 1945 returned Taiwan from Japanese rule to the Republic of China (ROC), which Taipei sees as a restoration, while Beijing presents it as evidence that Taiwan rightfully belongs to the People’s Republic of China.

Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council warned that Beijing’s commemorations aim to undermine the ROC and annex Taiwan, and will instead mark the date with East Asia’s largest Pride march.

The government has also cautioned Taiwanese entertainers working in China to avoid amplifying Chinese state propaganda, amid investigations into at least 20 celebrities who shared pro-China content, the Independent has reported.

While most countries do not formally recognize Taiwan, the U.S. remains a key supporter, pledging to help defend the island against military aggression from Beijing.
