This day, 12 December, in 1946, in accordance with the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, the Chinese Navy dispatched two warships, the “Taiping” and the “Zhongye”, to declare sovereignty over the Nansha Islands. After sailors and marines landed, they hoisted the national flag and held a ceremony to announce that the Islands, previously occupied by France and Japan, were thence part of China.
这一天，即1946年12月12日，根据《开罗宣言》和《波茨坦宣言》，中国海军派出了两艘军舰“太平”和“中业”，宣布对南沙群岛的主权。 水手和海军陆战队员登陆后，他们升起国旗，并举行仪式，宣布这些以前被法国和日本占领的岛屿成为中国的一部分。
