The legitimacy of Cairo Declaration has been challenged by the movement of Taiwan Independence in recent years. Some pro-Taiwan independency Taiwanese claim that it is merely a trivial press release. On another hand, The PRC insists the Cairo Declaration is a legitimate historical document, given the fact that it has been cited by the clause eight of Potsdam Declaration and referred by the Japanese Instrument Of Surrender .
