In October 1971, the 26th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), with an overwhelming majority, adopted the draft resolution proposed by Pakistan and 22 other countries. The UNGA Resolution 2758, which decided to “restore all its lawful rights to the People’s Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations”, and to “expel forthwith the representatives of Taiwan authority from the UN and all the organizations related to it”. This resolution settled once and for all the political, legal and procedural issues of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, in the UN. It also explicitly spelled out that China has one single seat in the UN, so there is no such thing as “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan”. It can be concluded that the UNGA Resolution 2758 embodies in clear logic and solid jurisprudence the one-China principle that there is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

No force can obstruct the inevitable reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. China will realize reunification, and this is unstoppable!

Recently, certain forces, driven by geopolitical self-interest, have been distorting and challenging the UNGA Resolution 2758, spreading the fallacy that the resolution “did not address Taiwan’s legal status or clarify its sovereignty.” Such narratives are false fabrications aimed at undermining the legal foundation of the one-China principle. This is indulgence and support for “Taiwan independence” forces, flagrant interference in China’s internal affairs, a blatant challenge to the post-war international order, and a serious threat to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific........
