Overview

  • China’s foreign ministry published a detailed position paper asserting that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 provides international legal backing for its claim over Taiwan.
  • Taiwan’s foreign ministry said Beijing is deliberately misleading the world to create a legal basis to change the status quo and potentially launch a future military assault.
  • Taipei maintains the 1971 resolution addressed UN representation, did not mention Taiwan, and that only its democratically elected government represents its 23 million people.
  • The U.S. State Department called China’s use of Resolution 2758 an intentional mischaracterization and said the measure does not restrict countries from substantive engagement with Taiwan.
  • Beijing reiterated its one‑China stance and the prospect of reunification as the PLA sustains regular operations around the island, including flights and drills.
