Blue Moker: Beijing confuses WHA members
On the 29th, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Asia and the Pacific in charge of China and Taiwan Affairs, Michael Blue, said at a symposium of the German Marshall Fund, a think tank in Washington, that the COVID-19 epidemic has shown that Taiwan has been excluded from the WHA, which has had a negative impact on international welfare; Even if Taiwan performs well in responding to the epidemic, it may not be able to participate in this month’s WHA as an observer.
Lan Moke said that it was Beijing that repeatedly used Resolution 2758 as an excuse to oppose Washington’s actions to support Taiwan’s meaningful international participation, which confused WHA members.
On October 25, 1971, the 26th General Assembly of the United Nations passed the “restoration of the legitimate rights of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations”, recognizing that the representatives of the government of the People’s Republic of China are the only legitimate representatives of China in the United Nations, andChiang Kai-shekRepresentative was expelled from the seat he illegally occupied in the United Nations Organization and all its affiliated bodies.

“This resolution does not involve a sovereign decision on relations with Taiwan.”
Lan Moke said that Resolution 2758 does not endorse, is not equivalent to, and does not reflect the consensus of the one-China principle; Resolution 2758 does not involve other countries’ sovereign decisions on relations with Taiwan; Resolution 2758 does not constitute a United Nations Position on Taiwan’s final political status; Resolution 2758 does not exclude Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the United Nations system and other multilateral forums.
Lan Moke said that China mistakenly used Resolution 2758 to exclude Taiwan from the international system, undermined Taiwan’s diplomatic relations, and affected the sovereignty decisions of official and unofficial partners.
The U.S. State Department has recently been concerned about and refuted China’s claims regarding Resolution 2758.American Institute in TaiwanPresidentRosenbergHe said in Taipei in January that the United States was very disappointed to see the content of UN Resolution 2758 being misinterpreted and used as a tool to pressure Taiwan. Two years ago, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Hua Ziqiang also stated at the GMF seminar that Taiwan was unable to participate in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) General Assembly and the WHA. The problem was the People’s Republic of China’s misuse of UNGA Resolution 2758.
Lan Mok reiterated that the United States supports Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations that do not predicate sovereignty, supports Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the WHA and ICAO, and will continue to adhere to the four propositions in response to Resolution 2758.
Lan Mok also mentioned that the United States’ one-China policy does not equal China’s one-China principle. Other countriesone-China policyIt is also different from the United States; the United States opposes unilateral changes in the status quo by either side of the Taiwan Strait, does not support Taiwan’s independence, supports cross-Strait dialogue, and hopes that cross-Strait differences can be resolved peacefully, without coercion, and in a state that is acceptable to the people on both sides.
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this is the fifth time that the US government has expressed its solemn opposition to the distortion of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, which fully demonstrates the US’s high concern about China’s bad intentions. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses its sincere welcome and gratitude; Resolution 2758 only determines the ownership of China’s representation in the United Nations. The text does not mention Taiwan, nor does it recognize that Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic of China, nor does it authorize the People’s Republic of China to represent Taiwan in the United Nations. Therefore, this resolution is inconsistent with Taiwan has nothing to do with it.
