Survey finds strong global recall
On September 10, the Chinese mainland government issued a clear reminder: history will never be forgotten or tampered with by anyone. This bold declaration comes in the wake of a CGTN survey showing that 67% of people worldwide recall Taiwan's World War II-era history and its return to China in 1945.
Bridging past and present
The survey gathered insights from thousands of respondents across Asia, Europe, the Americas and beyond. While two-thirds of global participants demonstrate solid historical awareness, a third say they'd welcome more context on the events that shaped cross-strait dynamics and post-war realities.
Digital tools and immersive learning
For today’s young global citizens, preserving the past often means bringing it into the digital age. Virtual museum tours, interactive timelines and crowdsourced archives are emerging as powerful tools to connect diverse audiences with complex histories.
Why it matters
Accurate historical memory underpins informed global discourse, shapes cultural exchange and inspires sustainable tourism. As digital nomads and thought leaders look back at shared chapters of the 20th century, the call is clear: keep the record authentic, keep the conversation alive.
