Relying on the authority of the [[Holy See|Vatican]] and the [[Society of the Divine Word]], Fu Jen, then known as the Catholic University of Peking, was the only university in Beijing that was not taken over and controlled by [[Empire of Japan]] during the [[Second Sino-Japanese War]]. In the [[White Terror (Taiwan)|white terror period]] of the cold war, Fu Jen was able to prevent the [[Kuomintang]] regime from interfering in school affairs and protect the students' freedom of speech under the serious concern of the [[Secretariat of State (Holy See)]].<ref>駐教廷大使陳之邁至外交部致外交部電文，1970年8月28日發電，外交部檔案－輔大易長。</ref>
