China corrects Japan on treaty's Diaoyu implications (2)

The Potsdam Declaration established in July 1945 reaffirmed that the terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.

Japan announced its acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation as well as its unconditional surrender in August 1945.

In the China-Japan joint statement issued in September 1972, the Japanese government also promised to "earnestly implement Article 8 of the Potsdam Proclamation."

Hong said, the Chinese government has time and again reiterated that it regards the San Francisco Peace Treaty as illegal and invalid and therefore will definitely not recognize it, as the People's Republic of China has never been involved in preparation, formulating or signing of the treaty.

"The Diaoyu Islands have never been part of Liuqiu, and they are not in the trusteeship area defined by Article 3 of the San Francisco Peace Treaty," Hong added.

Hong said that China again urges the Japanese government to face squarely the history, respect the fact, honor its commitments and fulfill its due international obligations.
