H.Res. 689 is a non-binding congressional resolution expressing opposition to what House members characterize as Chinese Communist Party historical revisionism regarding World War II in Asia. The resolution asserts that the CCP is falsely claiming primary credit for defeating Japan while downplaying the role of the Republic of China (now Taiwan) and the United States, and calls this "stolen valor." The resolution does not establish new programs or allocate funding; instead, it directs the U.S. government to counter CCP propaganda through public diplomacy, calls on the State Department to challenge these narratives at the United Nations, urges the Department of Education to ensure accurate history teaching, and recognizes Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines as important partners for regional stability. The resolution affects no specific timeline but aims to influence U.S. foreign policy messaging and educational standards regarding World War II history in the Pacific theater.
