In a recent development, a group of United States Senators have taken a strong stance against China's actions towards Taiwan. They have accused China of attempting to isolate Taiwan by subverting United Nations Resolution 2758. In response, the senators have proposed a resolution in the Senate to reaffirm US support for Taiwan and to oppose China's efforts to prevent Taiwan's participation in international organizations.
The resolution highlights China's use of UN Resolution 2758 as a weapon to distort history and isolate Taiwan. It clarifies that while the UN General Assembly passed the resolution in 1971, it did not address China's territorial claim over Taiwan or take a position on Taiwan's political status. This information was reported by Taipei Times, a leading daily in Taiwan.
On Friday, Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, along with Pete Ricketts and Chris Coons, introduced a bipartisan resolution to counter the Chinese Communist Party's campaign to pressure the US and other countries into accepting their sovereignty claim over Taiwan. Senator Risch made it clear that the US does not recognize China's claim over Taiwan and will not be deceived by their attempts to manipulate the international community through the UN.
Ranking Member Shaheen also emphasized the importance of Taiwan's meaningful participation in the United Nations and reiterated that the US will not allow China to prevent it. Senator Pete Ricketts spoke out against China's pressure campaign, stating that their ultimate goal is to isolate and potentially invade Taiwan. He stressed the need to reject China's strong-arming and revisionist history while supporting Taiwan's engagement on the world stage.
The proposed resolution aims to counteract the false narrative perpetuated by China that UN Resolution 2758 signifies an international agreement that China has sovereignty over Taiwan. It reaffirms that the US's "one China policy" is not the same as the Chinese Communist Party's "one China principle." The resolution also opposes China's efforts to prevent Taiwan's participation in international organizations, as stated in a press release from the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim expressed gratitude for the proposed resolution and praised Chairman Risch for calling out China's malign tactics and reiterating their support for Taiwan. She shared her thoughts on social media platform X, stating, "Thank you, Chairman Risch, for once again standing up to China and supporting Taiwan." This move has been welcomed by many, as it shows the US's strong commitment to standing by Taiwan and rejecting China's attempts to isolate them.
