Peace Treaty between Japan and the Republic of China

Japanese: 日華平和条約 - にっかへいわじょうやく（英語表記）Peace Treaty between Japan and the Republic of China

A peace treaty concluded on April 28, 1952, after World War II, between Japan and the Nationalist government of the Republic of China in Taiwan. It agreed to the end of the state of war between Japan and the Republic of China and the resumption of normal relations. It was signed in Taipei. China was not invited to the San Francisco Peace Conference in September 1951 due to disagreement between the United Kingdom and the United States over whether the Taipei government or the Beijing government was the legitimate representative of China. Later, at the request of the United States, Japan expressed its readiness to conclude a peace treaty with the Nationalist government in the "Yoshida Letter" to J. Dulles on December 24 of the same year, and signed the treaty on April 28, 1952, the day the peace treaty came into effect (August 5, 1952). The People's Republic of China strongly insisted on the abolition of this treaty as one of the prerequisites for the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and China. Diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China were established through the Japan-China Joint Communiqué signed on September 29, 1972, and the Japan-China Peace Treaty no longer had any meaning in continuing to exist.

第2次世界大戦後の 1952年4月 28日，日本と台湾の中華民国国民政府との間で締結された講和条約。日本と中華民国との間の戦争状態終了，正常関係再開などを取決めた。タイペイ (台北) で調印。中国を正統に代表する政府は台北政府か北京政府かをめぐるイギリス，アメリカの意見不一致により，中国は 51年9月のサンフランシスコ講和会議に招請されなかった。その後日本はアメリカの要望をいれて，同年 12月 24日の J.ダレスあて「吉田書簡」で国民政府との間に平和条約締結の用意がある旨を表明，翌 52年4月 28日，つまり講和条約発効の日に同条約に署名した (1952.8.5.発効) 。中華人民共和国は，日中国交回復の前提条件の一つとしてこの条約の廃棄を強く主張した。 72年9月 29日署名された日中共同声明により中華人民共和国との国交が樹立され，日華平和条約は存続の意義を失った。
