9. Why does challenging Resolution 2758 amount to a challenge to the post-World War II international order and the authority of the U.N.?
Resolution 2758 clearly states that “recalling the principles of the Charter of the United Nations,” “the restoration of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China is essential both for the protection of the Charter of the United Nations and for the cause that the United Nations must serve under the Charter.” This reflects the resolution’s clear position on upholding the authority of the United Nations. The United Nations is at the center of the post-World War II international order. The restoration of the People’s Republic of China’s lawful seat in the U.N. marked the return of the Chinese people, or one-fourth of the world’s population, back to the stage of the U.N. This is of great, far-reaching significance both to China and the world. Any attempt to challenge Resolution 2758 constitutes not only a challenge to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also a challenge to the authority of the U.N. as well as the post-World War II international order. Flagrantly reversing the course of history is absurd and highly dangerous.
10. Why do some politicians from the U.S. and other countries keep distorting and challenging Resolution 2758 and reopen settled issues?
The U.S. and some other countries, by distorting and challenging Resolution 2758, want to rehash the fallacy that “Taiwan’s status is undetermined” and thereby pave the way for Taiwan to seek “international space.” Their ultimate agenda is to obstruct the realization of China’s complete reunification and national rejuvenation through the strategy of “using Taiwan to contain China.” This is just another example of the U.S. pursuit of unilateralism and power politics, and its trampling of the basic norms of international relations. This once again lays bare the double standards of the U.S. on basic principles such as national sovereignty and noninterference in internal affairs.
Taiwan has been an inalienable part of China’s territory since ancient times. Taiwan has never been an independent country, not in the past,not at present and still less in the future. The question of Taiwan’s status was fundamentally resolved in 1945, when the Chinese people won the great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This victory was won by the Chinese people including our Taiwan compatriots through hard-fought battles and great sacrifices. It shall by no means be undermined by the false narratives of some Western politicians.
Although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are yet to be fully reunified, China’s sovereignty and territory have never been and shall never be divided. The status of Taiwan as a part of China’s territory has never changed and shall never change. Attempt to turn back the wheel of history and separate Taiwan from China once again will never be accepted by the 1.4 billion Chinese people or supported by the international community.
