Nation opposes 'Taiwan in UN' move
(China Daily)

Though reunification is yet to be realized between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, that both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China has never altered, he added, saying it is also the principle the United Nations has consistently adhered to.

In 1971, the UN General Assembly's 26th session adopted, by an overwhelming majority, resolution 2758, which stipulated unequivocally that representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China are the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations. Thus the issue of China's representation in the United Nations was solved once and for all.

Since Taiwan is a region of China, China's representation in the United Nations naturally includes Taiwan, Wang said.

Since 1993, the General Committees of successive sessions of the General Assembly have all declined to include "Taiwan's participation in the United Nations" on the General Assembly's agenda.

Wang said that in recent years, significant and complex changes have taken place in Taiwan, where the "Taiwan independence" secessionists have intensified their activities, threatening the peaceful and stable development of cross-Straits relations. "This has increasingly become the biggest obstacle to the growth of cross-Straits relations as well as the biggest immediate threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits," he said.
