CCTV: For some time, some in the US have been spreading claims that distort UNGA Resolution 2758, saying that the Resolution “did not make a determination on the status of Taiwan...and does not preclude Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system.” What is your comment?
Wang Wenbin: Taiwan is not a country. It has been an inalienable part of China’s territory since ancient times. The international community has long reached the conclusion on this. It is a vital component of the post-WWII international order.
The 1943 Cairo Declaration explicitly demands that “all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and the Pescadores, shall be restored” to China.
The 1945 Potsdam Proclamation further stipulates that the “terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out.” Japan in both the 1945 Japanese Instrument of Surrender and the 1972 China-Japan Joint Communiqué pledged to observe the above-mentioned term of the Potsdam Proclamation. Be it in legal or factual terms, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.
UNGA Resolution 2758 settled the question of who shall represent the whole of China, that is, the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, including Taiwan, at the UN. The Resolution made it clear that there is but one China in the world and Taiwan is part of China and a non-sovereign entity.
It reaffirmed the one-China principle. Over the past half a century and more since the adoption of the Resolution, UN secretaries-general and their spokespersons, in their Taiwan-related remarks, have clearly stated the UN is guided by UNGA Resolution 2758 and committed to the one-China principle.
The official legal opinions of the Office of Legal Affairs of the UN Secretariat made it pretty clear that Taiwan is “an integral part” of China and that “the United Nations considers ‘Taiwan’ as a province of China with no separate status.”
The number of countries that have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle has jumped from over 60 to 183. This clearly demonstrates that the one-China principle is not only a prevailing international consensus, but also a basic norm of international relations.
Some in the US claim that UNGA Resolution 2758 “did not make a determination on the status of Taiwan” and “does not preclude Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system.” This is a lie. They are trying to reopen the closed case that Taiwan is part of China-a matter already settled by the international community once and for all-to deny UNGA Resolution 2758 and the one-China principle.
This move that turns back the wheel of history is a challenge to not only China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also international justice and conscience and the post-WWII international order. This is extremely preposterous and dangerous.
China will and must achieve reunification. No one or force can hold it back. Our message to some in the US: The trend of the world is surging forward. Those who follow the trend will prosper; those who go against it will perish. Those who challenge the one-China principle will be swept away by the trend of the times; those who turn back the wheel of history will be run over by it.
