The Chairs of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China have introduced resolutions in response to recent statements by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) General Secretary Xi Jinping regarding China's role in World War II. In a phone call with President Trump in November 2025, Xi claimed that the CCP was “a big part of the victory in WWII” and “fought shoulder to shoulder” with the United States “against fascism and militarism.” The commission's resolutions aim to address what they describe as an exaggerated account of the CCP’s involvement.
According to the commission, the purpose of these twin resolutions is to highlight that freedom in Taiwan, democracy in Japan, and stability across the Indo-Pacific are based on historical facts rather than revisionist narratives promoted by the CCP. The resolutions commemorate the significant sacrifices made by both the Republic of China and the United States during World War II. They also condemn what is described as “stolen valor” by the CCP regarding its portrayal of Allied victory in Asia.
The measures further recognize Japan’s postwar transformation into a democratic ally and its contributions to regional peace and stability. Additionally, they affirm ongoing U.S. support for Taiwan’s freedom, security, and self-defense against any coercion or aggression from the CCP.
The Senate and House versions of these resolutions are available through provided hyperlinks.
