COMMENTARY

By Miles Yu - Monday, December 8, 2025

OPINION:


Winston Churchill, one of the principal architects of the 1943 Cairo Declaration, understood something in 1955 that remains true today. Addressing the House of Commons on Feb. 1 of that year, he stated with unmistakable clarity:

“The Cairo Declaration of 1st December, 1943 … contained merely a statement of common purpose. Since it was made, a lot of things have happened. … The situation has changed. The problem of Formosa (Taiwan) has become an international problem in which a number of other nations are closely concerned. The question of future sovereignty of Formosa was left undetermined by the Japanese Peace Treaty (the San Francisco Treaty).”

Churchill rejected the simplistic and false notion long embedded in Beijing’s propaganda that Taiwan was somehow a domestic matter for communist China. He insisted instead that Taiwan’s status was, by legal fact and geopolitical reality, an international issue.

Seventy years later, the truth of Churchill’s position has not faded. It has been reaffirmed, not least by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent comments underscoring Japan’s profound stake in Taiwan’s security. Beijing’s outrage at Tokyo’s entirely predictable position is performative; China is “shocked” only by what has always been obvious to the world: Taiwan’s future affects everyone.
