US EditionChina Trying to Create Legal Basis for Invasion with UN Resolution’s Interpretation, Says Taiwan
Taiwan accuses China of distorting UN Resolution 2758 to justify future military action, while the United States and allies oppose any forced change to the status quo, officials said.
- Taiwan's Foreign Ministry on Oct 1 accused China of misusing U.N. General Assembly Resolution 2758 to justify future military aggression, rejecting Beijing's interpretation.
- Historically, Resolution 2758 of 1971 transferred China's U.N. seat from Taipei to Beijing and expelled Chiang's Republic of China representatives, but analysts say it did not address Taiwan's sovereignty.
- The white paper used Cold War‑era language to claim the PRC is the sole legitimate representative, while China's Foreign Ministry and PLA regularly conduct military activity near Taipei.
- The U.S. State Department said China’s 'intentional mischaracterisation and misuse of resolution 2758' aims to isolate Taiwan, while the American Institute in Taiwan called Beijing's claim a deliberate distortion and Taiwan welcomed U.S. support.
- China's stance poses wider security risks as U.S. intelligence assesses Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered the PLA to prepare for action on Taiwan, while major powers including the United States, the UK and India oppose forcible status quo changes.
