Original title: Blincoln advocates Taiwan’s participation in the United Nations, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied: a serious violation of the one-China principle
On October 27, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) asked a question. According to reports, on the 26th, US Secretary of State Blincoln issued a statement stating that Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system is a pragmatic issue rather than a political issue. The United States encourages all UN member states to join the United States in supporting Taiwan’s active and meaningful participation in the UN system and the international community. This is in line with the US “One China” policy, which is guided by the “Taiwan Relations Act”, the three US-China joint communiqués and the “six guarantees.” What’s China’s response to this?
Zhao Lijian stated that the US statement seriously violated the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, violated its own commitments, violated the basic norms of international relations, and sent a serious wrong signal to the “Taiwan independence” forces. China is strongly dissatisfied with this and resolutely opposes it. It has stated its solemn position to the US and made solemn representations.
Zhao Lijian then emphasized four basic positions:
First, there is only one China in the world. The government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China. Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. Including the United States, 180 countries in the world have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of adhering to the one-China principle. The one-China principle is the universal consensus of the international community and the universally recognized basic norm of international relations. The U.S. side should not be allowed to unilaterally challenge and misinterpret. The United States clearly recognized in the three Sino-US joint communiqués that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government of China. Within this scope, the American people will maintain cultural, commercial, and other unofficial relations with the people of Taiwan.
Second, the participation of the Taiwan region in the activities of international organizations must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle. UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 has completely resolved the issue of China’s representation in the United Nations politically, legally and procedurally. The specialized agencies of the United Nations system and the United Nations Secretariat should comply with the one-China principle and UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 in any affairs involving Taiwan. The United States touted the whitewashing of Taiwan’s so-called democracy and contributions, and it tried to secretly change the concept and confuse the audience. But the international community has a clear view of the United States‘ motives and intentions. Fifty years ago, the United States was defeated in its vain attempt to create “one China, one Taiwan” or “two Chinas” in the United Nations. Today, if the United States wants to reverse history, it will stand by the 1.4 billion Chinese people and most countries in the world. The opposite is doomed to failure.
Third, the Taiwan authorities stubbornly adhere to the “Taiwan Independence” separatist stand, refuse to recognize the “1992 Consensus,” and strive to expand the so-called international space, and go further and further on the road of “Taiwan Independence” splitting. This is the greatest reality for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. The threat is also the crux of Taiwan’s participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization, the World Health Organization and other multilateral agencies’ activities in recent years. In fact, the channels for Taiwan to obtain ICAO information are unblocked, and it is convenient to connect to many cities in the world. Under the premise of complying with the one-China principle, Taiwanese medical and health experts can participate in relevant technical meetings of the World Health Organization. Taiwan obtains information including new coronary pneumonia The public health information channels including the epidemic are unblocked. The U.S. accused Taiwan of participating in the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Health Organization, defrauding sympathy, and miscalculated, and there was no market.
Fourth, the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués are the political basis for Sino-U.S. relations. The so-called “Taiwan Relations Act” and the “six guarantees” to Taiwan unilaterally concocted by the U.S. seriously violate international law and the basic norms of international relations. , Violates the one-China principle. China will never accept it from the beginning. For some time, the U.S. has continued to make mistakes in its words and deeds on the Taiwan issue, and China has made resolute and necessary responses. If the U.S. continues to play the “Taiwan card” and goes one way to the end, it will inevitably cause a huge subversive risk to Sino-U.S. relations, severely damage the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait, and will also seriously damage the United States‘ own interests.
In conclusion, Zhao Lijian pointed out that we urge the United States to abide by its commitments, follow the one-China principle and the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiqués, abide by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, stop making irresponsible and erroneous remarks, and stop helping Taiwan expand its so-called international space. Send the wrong signal to the “Taiwan independence” forces and take concrete actions to safeguard the political foundation of Sino-US relations.
