Taiwan’s foreign ministry has asserted that United Nations Resolution 2758 does not establish Taiwan as a part of China, challenging its use as a justification to exclude Taiwan from the UN and other international organizations. The ministry emphasized that Taiwan, with its democratically elected government, should be recognized as representing its people in global affairs, separate from China’s governance.

The ministry criticized Beijing’s interpretation of Resolution 2758, arguing that China is increasingly using it to support its stance on Taiwan’s international status. Such interpretations, the ministry warned, could impede Taiwan’s involvement in international organizations and regional matters.

Taiwan further argued that historical agreements post-World War II did not transfer sovereignty over the island to the People’s Republic of China, highlighting that Beijing has never exercised governance over Taiwan. The ministry’s statement underscores a call for the international community to uphold a rules-based international order.

In this context, Taiwan urged the United Nations to maintain a neutral position regarding Taiwan’s participation in international affairs, advocating for its inclusion based on the principle of impartiality rather than political interpretations influenced by China.
