NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 23 — China’s state news agency Xinhua is taking a photo exhibition marking Taiwan’s restoration after World War II to five African countries, using historical images to promote Beijing’s position on national sovereignty, territorial integrity and reunification.
The exhibition, being held in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Nigeria and Mozambique, seeks to highlight China’s account of Taiwan’s return from Japanese colonial rule in 1945 while strengthening people-to-people ties between China and Africa.
Speaking at the Nairobi opening, Xinhua News Agency Africa Regional Bureau Director Ying Qiang said the exhibition was intended to help African audiences understand the historical background of Taiwan’s restoration and China’s position on the island’s future.
