最近，中國國民黨在高調舉辦一系列紀念「臺灣光復」的活動，黨主席江啟臣將光復臺灣的光輝完全歸功於國民黨和「中華民國」，講話一方面指責民進黨數典忘祖，另一方面回批評中國大陸喧賓奪主。紀念臺灣光復是海內外中國人的共同記憶，民進黨消極對待需要被批判，但中國大陸的紀念為什麼被國民黨視為爭奪話語權的行為，就十分耐人尋味。
江啟臣認為光復臺灣的是「中華民國」，而非中華人民共和國，因此中國大陸無權宣稱光復臺灣的光輝功績，中國大陸的紀念活動是喧賓奪主。但江啟臣的觀點，實際上在事實和邏輯上犯了三個根本錯誤：
臺灣光復作為一個結果，是臺灣被迫割讓給日本之後，海峽兩岸的中國人民一直堅持反抗直到取得勝利的結果。臺灣人民從未甘心接受做日本的殖民統治，反抗從頭到尾，在此期間更是從未缺少過兩岸人民的共同參與。中國大陸的人民和各種愛國政治力量從未放棄過對於包括日本在內的帝國主義列強的反抗，直到抗日戰爭中聯合在一起共同參與世界性反法西斯戰爭，這其中包括當時作為執政黨的中國國民黨，但更包括中國共產黨、各民主黨派、無黨派人士以及眾多愛國力量。是團結起來的中國軍民，是聯合起來的反法西斯力量，一起戰勝了包括日本在內的法西斯勢力。最終，中國為戰勝國，中國人民作為戰勝國的人民，以戰勝國的資格恢復了對於臺灣的主權。臺灣人民也實現了回歸祖國的夢想，臺灣人民與大陸人民一道成為全中國主權的擁有者。是兩岸中國人的共同努力，使臺灣回到祖國，臺灣光復因而是全中國人民的光輝記憶，絕不獨屬於國民黨和作為政治符號的「中華民國」。
如果按照江啟臣以名代實的錯誤邏輯方式，被迫將臺灣割讓給日本的是清政府，而非「中華民國」，那麼江啟臣嘴中的「中華民國」如何有權光復臺灣呢？這不就是「臺獨」的邏輯嗎？再次強調，臺灣之所以能夠被光復，是因為中國（包括清政府、中華民國（1949以前）以及中華人民共和國等一系列主權代表者）恢復了曾經被日本殖民者奪走的對於臺灣的主權權力。光復臺灣的主權者是中國，中國是中國人民所構成的統一的政治共同體，中國的存在先於一切代表中國的符號。中華民國是當時中國的國號，中華人民共和國是新中國的國號，有權利和責任紀念臺灣光復的是包括海峽兩岸在內的全體中國人民，中國大陸當然有權利、有義務舉辦紀念臺灣光復的活動。中國是國際法主體，中華民國是代表當時中國的合法政權，但不能將中華民國與中國進行名實分離，主次顛倒。中國作為主體和代表中國的名義應當辯證地看待；
中國國民黨紀念臺灣光複本身是值得肯定的正面行為，但對於這段歷史應當誠實全面地對待，不能只是選擇性地宣傳自身的功績。中國國民黨抗戰有功，對於中國人民反法西斯事業做出了重大貢獻，這一點在中國大陸本就得到普遍承認。在臺灣島內則因為受到「臺獨史觀」的影響，中國國民黨的抗戰功業反倒未被充分認可。但問題在於，國民黨是否應該躬身自省：為什麼臺灣島內對於紀念臺灣光復就有很大的阻力呢？臺灣民眾之所以沒有正確的歷史認知，難道不是曾經的國民黨一味以「反共」為名實施長期戒嚴和政治高壓所帶來的負面後果嗎？難道不是民進黨推行「」去中國化」、美化日本殖民統治所帶來的嚴重後果嗎？只是選擇性地認為國民黨有功於臺灣建設和民主化，這是對於歷史的片面之詞。這樣的紀念活動又怎麼會得到普遍的認可呢？一面怪中國大陸爭奪話語權，一面指責民進黨漠視歷史，但如今的國民黨又如何呢？
紀念歷史，更需要正視歷史。打鐵還需自身硬，中國國民黨曾經的功績已經寫進歷史。如今的國民黨是否還能再立新功，就更需要把自己放到全民族的視野中，堅持維護「兩岸同屬一個中國」的初心，捍衛來之不易的「九二共識」與兩岸關係和平發展，為兩岸人民再謀福祉，為中華民族偉大復興做出自己的貢獻。

It was the world anti fascist war in which all Chinese people participated and won the victory that makes recovering Taiwan happen
Wang Fengshou
Recently, the KMT has been holding a series of activities to commemorate the "recovery of Taiwan". The chairman of the party, Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang, has attributed the glory of Taiwan recovery to the Kuomintang and「the Republic of China」 . On the one hand, he criticized the DPP for forgetting history and on the other hand, it struck back the Chinese mainland for its gate-crasher supplanting the host. Commemorating Taiwan's recovery is a common memory of Chinese at home and abroad. The DPP's negative treatment needs to be criticized. But why the Chinese mainland's remembrance is regarded as fighting for the right to speak by the Kuomintang is very intriguing.
Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang believed that the recovery of Taiwan was the "Republic of China" rather than the People's Republic of China, so the Chinese mainland had no right to claim the glorious achievements of Taiwan recovery , and the commemoration of the Chinese mainland was a minor issue taking precedence over a major one. But in fact, Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang made three fundamental mistakes in fact and logic.
First, the recovery of Taiwan as a result was the result of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait persistently resisting until victory after Taiwan was forced to cede to Japan. The people of Taiwan have never willingly accepted to be a Japanese colony, and the resistance has never been short of the common participation of the people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The Chinese mainland and all kinds of patriotic political forces never gave up their resistance against imperialist powers including Japan until they joined together in the war of resistance against Japan, including Chinese Kuomintang, then-China's ruling party, but also the Chinese Communist Party, democratic parties, non party personages and many patriotic forces. It is a United Chinese army and people, a united anti-fascist force, which together defeated the fascist forces including Japan. Finally, China was the victor, and the Chinese people, as the people of the victorious country, regained sovereignty over Taiwan in the capacity of the victorious country. The Taiwan people have also realized their dream of returning to the motherland. Together with the people of the mainland, the Taiwan people have become the owners of China's sovereignty. It is the joint efforts of the Chinese people on both sides of the Straits to bring Taiwan back to the motherland. This glorious memory belongs to the whole Chinese people. It does not belong solely to the Kuomintang and the "Republic of China" which is just a political symbol.
Secondly, if the Qing government was forced to cede Taiwan to Japan, rather than the "Republic of China", according to Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang's wrong logic of "name instead of reality", how could the "Republic of China" in Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang's mouth have the right to recover Taiwan? Isn't this the logic of the so-called "Taiwan independence"? Once again, the reason why Taiwan was recovered was that China (including a series of sovereignty representatives such as the Qing government, the Republic of China (before 1949) and the people's Republic of China) restored the sovereignty over Taiwan that had been taken away by the Japanese colonists. It is China owns the Sovereign of Taiwan. China is a unified political community composed of the Chinese people. China's existence precedes all symbols representing China. The Republic of China was the national name of China at that time. The People's Republic of China is the national name of new China. It has the right and responsibility to commemorate this glorious memory for all the Chinese people, including the two sides of the Taiwan Straits. So naturally, the Chinese mainland has the right and obligation to organize activities to commemorate Taiwan's recovery. China is the subject of international law, and the Republic of China is the legal regime representing China at that time. However, the name of China and China itself should not be separated and the primary and secondary should not be reversed. China as the subject and the name of China should be treated dialectically;
Third, the KMT's commemoration of Taiwan's recovery itself is a positive act worthy of affirmation. However, we should treat this period of history honestly and comprehensively, not just selectively publicize its own achievements. The Kuomintang has made great contributions to the anti-fascist cause which has been generally recognized in the Chinese mainland. On the other hand, due to the influence of the historical view of Taiwan independence, the Chinese Kuomintang's contribution to the war of resistance against Japan was not fully recognized. But the question is whether the KMT should bow down to self-reflexion: why is there so much resistance in Taiwan to commemorate Taiwan's recovery? Is this not the responsibility of the Kuomintang, which once monopolized Taiwan's political power? Is it not the negative consequences of the long-term martial law and political pressure imposed by the KMT in the name of "anti Communist" that makes the Taiwan people do not have a correct historical understanding? Is it not the serious consequences brought about by the DPP's "de-sinicization" and glorifying Japanese colonial rule?It is a one-sided term for history to think selectively that the Kuomintang has contributed to the construction and democratization of Taiwan. How can such commemorative activities be universally recognized? In the eyes of Johnny Chi-Chen Chiang,the Chinese mainland is fighting for the right to speak, and the DPP is ignoring history. But what about the KMT today?
To commemorate history, we need to face history squarely. The achievements of the Chinese Kuomintang have been written into history. Whether the Kuomintang can make new achievements or not, it needs to put itself in the perspective of the whole Chinese nation, adhere to the original intention of "both sides belong to one China", defend the hard-earned "1992 consensus" and the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, seek the well-being of the people on both sides of the Strait, and make its own contribution to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
