TAIPEI, Taiwan – The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at a regular press conference on March 10 that China was “ready to work with the greatest sincerity and exert utmost efforts to achieve peaceful reunification.” It also made spurious claims regarding United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758.
These statements not only ignore the facts but also distort reality and mislead the international community, according to the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in a statement on March 11, 2025.
“MOFA solemnly reiterates that neither the Republic of China (Taiwan) nor the People’s Republic of China is subordinate to the other; that the PRC regime has never governed Taiwan; and that no narratives distorting Taiwan’s sovereign status can change the internationally recognized status quo across the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan’s future must be collectively decided by the 23.5 million people of Taiwan. China has no right to interfere,” the statement continued:
“MOFA again stresses that UNGA Resolution 2758 only established China’s representation in the UN; that it makes no mention of Taiwan throughout its entire text; that it does not determine that Taiwan is a part of the PRC; and that it does not authorize China to represent Taiwan in the UN.”
“MOFA urges China to recognize the fact that the Republic of China (Taiwan) is an independent and sovereign country; that Taiwan has never been a part of the PRC; and that neither side being subordinate to the other is the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and a long-standing, internationally recognized, and objective fact.
MOFA reiterated calls on the international community to take note of China’s use of legal warfare in misrepresenting UNGA Resolution 2758 and mischaracterizing the Taiwan issue as a domestic issue so as to deter international support for Taiwan.
“It encourages countries worldwide to continue to take concrete actions to counter and explicitly oppose China’s malicious and repeated misrepresentation of the resolution, as well as its attempts to change the status quo of neither side being subordinate to the other.”
MOFA continues to ask that countries denounce China’s false claims regarding an international consensus on the so-called “one China principle” and work together to uphold peace, stability, and prosperity across the Taiwan Strait and in the Indo-Pacific.
