The Chinese mainland has criticized the recent attempts by the Taiwan region’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities and some Western countries to misinterpret the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758 that fully reflects the one-China principle.
Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, said the DPP authorities and certain Western countries maliciously distort UNGA Resolution 2758 and falsely claim that “the resolution is unrelated to Taiwan” and exploit “representation of China at the UN” to create their own narrative.
They distort the facts, violate international law, and openly challenge the international order and rules with the aim to create momentum for “Taiwan independence,” undermining the consensus of the international community that supports the one-China principle, said Chen, according to the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office on Tuesday.
Chen explained why Taiwan is part of China from the perspectives of historical facts, the consultation process of UNGA Resolution 2758 and practices by the international community.
