联合国第2758号决议-和台湾主权有关吗？ Is Resolution 2758 related to Taiwan’s Sovereignty??

2024 年5 月20 日, 中华人民共和国政府声明：1971年第26届联合国大会通过的第2758号决议白纸黑字地指出：「决定恢复中华人民共和国的一切权利，并承认中华人民共和国政府的代表为中国唯一合法代表」。逐出他们在联合国及其所有相关组织中非法占据的席位。台湾不是一个国家，而是中国领土的一部分。它明确了台湾的非主权实体地位。

然而，2024年9月13日，荷兰众议院通过决议，承认中国对台湾没有行政权力。它指出，1971年，联合国大会通过第2758号决议，接纳中华人民共和国加入联合国。第2758号决议不包含任何有关中国对台湾主权的声明。

台湾简史: 中国在甲午战争中战败后，台湾自 1895 年起一直处于日本殖民统治之下。 1945年：日本在第二次世界大战中战败，台湾回归中华民国。1949年：中国内战，蒋介石及其追随者撤退到台湾，继续在那里维持中华民国政府。

The communist government of the People’s Republic of China (China) states: (May 20, 2024):

The Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests. There is but one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory. The Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

Resolution 2758 adopted at the 26th Session of the UN General Assembly in 1971 stated in black and white that it “decides to restore all its 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 Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it.”

The resolution made it clear that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, including Taiwan, at the UN; Taiwan is not a country but a part of China’s territory. It makes clear Taiwan’s status as a non-sovereign entity. UNGA Resolution 2758 resolved once and for all politically, legally and procedurally the issue of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, at the United Nations. The resolution also made clear that there can only be one seat representing China at the UN and precluded the possibility of “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.”

However, a news on September 13, 2024, reports that the Dutch House of Representatives passed a resolution acknowledging that China does not have administrative power over Taiwan. It states that UN Resolution 2758 does not govern Taiwan’s representation in international bodies. Thus, the motion calls on the Dutch representatives at this year’s UN General Assembly (September 22-24) to promote Taiwan’s future participation in the UN and affiliated international bodies such as the ICAO and WHO. Similarly, the measure also encourages Dutch officials to lobby other members of the European Union to promote and support Taiwan’s active participation in the UN and other international organizations. The news further reports: the resolution’s language states that Taiwan’s representation at the UN will not conflict with the Netherlands’ “one-China policy.” UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, passed in 1971, admitted the People’s Republic of China to the UN. Resolution 2758 does not include any statements on China’s sovereignty over Taiwan. Despite this, China consistently distorts the language of UN Resolution 2578 to bolster expansionist claims over Taiwan. (Europeaninterest, 09/13/2024）

A Brief History of Taiwan

Pre-WWII: Taiwan had been under Japanese colonial rule since 1895, following China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War. During this period, Japan invested heavily in the island's infrastructure and economy.

Post-WWII:

1945: After Japan's defeat in World War II, Taiwan was returned to China, i.e. Republic of China (ROC). ROC assumed control of Taiwan.

1949: The Chinese Civil War led to Chiang Kai-shek and his followers retreated to Taiwan, continuing the Republic of China (ROC) government.
