Taiwan has barred its officials, students and teachers from attending events in China marking the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s “retrocession” to Chinese rule, accusing Beijing of twisting history to serve its political agenda.
Next Saturday marks eight decades since Japan gave up its control of Taiwan, a colony of Japan since 1895, bringing an end to 50 years of colonial rule and placing the island under the administration of the Republic of China (ROC) in 1945.
