Talk:Cairo Conference

From Academic Kids

Due to recent events, the UN should verify that the so-called "Cairo Declaration" IS A FAKE before it's too late.

The so-called Cairo Declaration of 1943 is a fake. It's blatant propaganda.

The closest thing that actually existed was a "PRESS COMMUNIQUE"-- and it's not signed, because none of the three participants where present. In other words, the press communique was entirely made up.

This non-existant “Cairo Declaration” resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese on 2/28/1947 (see 228 Incident). Thanks to this "declaration" and EXTENSIVE bullying on PRC's part, Taiwan's international recognition has never been realized. What's worse, Taiwan is now only three votes away from being officially voted off as "part of PRC" in the UN!

Other Cairo Conferences...

There was also the 1994 UN Cairo Conference on Population and Development. Maybe this page should link to that topic, too ...

Taiwan

This statement was removed:

However, in 1955 after the World War II, being asked the question whether Formosa should be handed to the Communist China according to the Cairo Declaration, Churchill told the House of Commons, "The Cairo Declaration contained merely a statement of common purpose." And since it was made "A lot of things have happened" he added. His Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, also said that the Declaration was merely a statement of intention that Formosa should be retroceded to China after the war, that never materialized.

I removed it because it is out of context and needs to be tied in with the overall political status of Taiwan. Britain, unlike the US, had at the time already switched recognition to the PRC, but it was a member of the western block and was interested in stopping the spread of communism. Therefore, "China" here likely means "the People's Republic of China" and not the Republic of China. The fact that sovereignty over these islands were ultimately given to the ROC is not presented and the British did not express oppositon to this act in the interests of containment. --Jiang 02:57, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

But I do think the political status of Taiwan needs some coverage here, but we should jump to a particular detail without first mentioning the general situation. --Jiang 03:08, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I will have to think about it. I do think that since Cairo declaration is so pertainent to the political status of Taiwan. With some kind of introduction of the impact of Cairo declaration on Taiwan issue, I think it sould be okay to address Taiwan issue here a bit. I believe we should at least add a "See also: " link to " Political status of Taiwan". As for the original photocopy, I believe this is an important historical document and deserves to stay on the article. You may not like the webite hosts it, and I actually thought about extracting the image and save onto Wikipeisa but I do not know how to put it on, perhaps you can help us to save the original document and dislodge the photo from the website host it. Otherwise, I would prefer put the link of the photo back. Again, I do not believe having the original photocopy image would be a POV. Thanks.

I notice that "all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese shall be restored to the Republic of China." what about the Ryukyu Islands of Japan? In late 19th century Ryukyu Islands was also "a stolen territory" in the viewpoint of Qing empire. If PRC still believe this is effective, they should made a claim to Ryukyu Islands in previous century.surely we know it never happened. Let alone it was merely an UNSIGNED PRESS COMMUNIQUE. PRC knows it doesn't have any treaty to justify its claim and therefore tries to deceive the public with its so called "Cairo Declaration", which is sadly in vain.--anon

Cairo Declaration was issued on 1 December 1943, i.e. after the end of the Cairo Conference. When this Declaration was issued, Chiang-Kai-Shek was in China and Truman and Churchill were in Tehran, Iran.
