    Then why even mention the Potsdam Declaration as if that had anything to do with your point? You made multiple claims about it that simply don’t exist.

      Because that was the original basis for the relationship between the west and China. I’m not sure what claims you think I made that don’t exist.

        It has zilch to do with any sort of one China policy. You made a link that is not there. The Potsdam Declaration does not even deal with the Allies’ relationship with the Republic of China. It simply states that Japan will surrender and retreat from the territories they invaded. Please point out what lines in either the Potsdam Declaration or the Cairo Declaration that have anything to do with the Allies’ relationship with the Republic of China. Both deal with the Allies’ relationship and demands from Japan at the time.

          You continue to be confused here. Postdam Declaration and One China policy are simply the basis for the dialogue between China and US, and that is the basis on which US acknowledges that Taiwan is indeed part of China. In terms of international law, the only thing that matters is the UN stance which is that Taiwan is part of China. This is in no way ambiguous.
