Beijing, 27 Oct (Xinhua) -- In response to US officials' false claims that China has "misused" UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, pointed out at a regular news conference on 27 October that the United Nations is an intergovernmental international organization composed of sovereign states. Taiwan is not a country, it is an inalienable part of China's territory, and China's representation in the United Nations certainly includes the representation of all of China, including Taiwan.

Ma Xiaoguang said: 50 years ago, the 26th session of the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, deciding to restore all the rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and 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. General Assembly Resolution 2758 clearly and thoroughly resolves the issue of China's representation in the United Nations politically, legally and procedurally.
He pointed out that before the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the United States had a bad record of trying to engage in "two Chinas" at the United Nations, which ultimately ended in failure. The day Resolution 2758 was adopted was also the time when the so-called "dual representation" proposal put forward by the United States and other countries was rejected. The mistake of some people in the United States is to ignore historical and legal facts, deny the authority of GENERAL Assembly resolution 2758, try to overturn the case, and confront the majority of the international community.
He pointed out that Taiwan is part of China. The participation of the Taiwan region in international organizations and their activities must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle. The mistake of some people in the United States is that they ignore the one-China principle and the basic norms governing international relations, and even run counter to the US Government's repeatedly reiterated position of "not supporting Taiwan's membership in any international organization that must be joined by a sovereign state."
He pointed out that the DPP authorities have long clamored for such fallacies as "Taiwan's representation" and "Taiwan's international space" in order to separate Taiwan from China, and their essence is to engage in "Taiwan independence." The mistake of some people in the United States lies in the fact that they have encouraged the DPP authorities' "Taiwan independence" behavior and run counter to the US Government's long-standing stand of not supporting "Taiwan independence."
Ma Xiaoguang said: We urge relevant officials of the US Government to scrupulously abide by the US Government's stand of not supporting "Taiwan independence" with practical actions, abide by the one-China principle and the stipulations of the three Sino-US joint communiques, be cautious in words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and refrain from sending wrong signals to the "Taiwan independence" forces.
In response to US Secretary of State Blinken's again advocating on October 26 that "Taiwan has the significance of participating in the United Nations and other international organizations," the DPP authorities expressed their gratitude, and Ma Xiaoguang once again stressed that the United Nations is an intergovernmental international organization composed of sovereign states, That Taiwan is a part of China, that the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing the whole of China, and that Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations.
In response to an inquiry, he pointed out that the international community has a conclusive conclusion and a common practice on the issue of Taiwan's participation in international organizations and their activities, that is, it is necessary to uphold the one-China principle. The US side has been making up various statements for some time, including the so-called "meaningful participation in international organizations" and even the mention of "meaningful participation in the United Nations," which seriously violates relevant UN resolutions, seriously violates the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiques, and sends a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" forces.
Ma Xiaoguang said: We understand the thoughts and feelings of The Taiwan compatriots on participating in international activities, and on the basis of adhering to the one-China principle, we have made and will be able to make proper arrangements in the past. However, it is absolutely impossible for the DPP authorities and the "Taiwan independence" forces to deceive the people on the island with all kinds of specious lies, mislead international public opinion, and vainly try to promote the Taiwan region to "join the United Nations" and seek "independence" by participating in international activities.
"We advise the DPP authorities to immediately abandon their illusions of 'relying on the United States for independence' and 'relying on foreign countries for independence.' All acts aimed at undermining the one-China principle and splitting the country can only end in failure. Ma Xiaoguang said.
