HRES 689 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing the opposition of the House of Representatives to the Chinese Communist Party's "stolen valor" historical revisionism with regards to Allied Victory in Asia, commemorating the contributions made by the Republic of China to Allied Victory, and acknowledging the postwar contributions of the Government of Japan to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific.

This symbolic resolution expresses the House's opposition to China's historical claims about World War II in Asia, which the resolution states downplay the Republic of China's (ROC) role in defeating Japan. It commemorates the ROC's wartime contributions as a U.S. ally and acknowledges Japan's postwar efforts to promote peace in the Indo-Pacific. The resolution directs the U.S. government to counter China's historical narrative through diplomatic efforts, accurate history education, and UN advocacy. It also recognizes Japan's security cooperation with the U.S. and supports Taiwan's international engagement under existing law.
