US official blasts Beijing for distorting UN Resolution 2758
US official blasts Beijing for distorting UN Resolution 2758
2024-05-01
A top U.S. state department official says China is misusing U.N. Resolution 2758 to advance its own interests. Mark Lambert is the state department’s China coordinator and deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. Speaking at a Washington seminar, he criticized Beijing for falsely conflating the resolution with its own "one China" principle, in order to put pressure on Taiwan. This marks the fifth time that Washington has publicly opposed China’s use of the resolution.
The Washington-based German Marshall Fund held a seminar on Monday. U.S. deputy assistant secretary Mark Lambert accused Beijing of misusing Resolution 2758.
Lambert said Resolution 2758 does not endorse, equate to, or reflect an international consensus on the “one China” principle, and has no bearing on countries’ sovereign choices with respect to their relationships with Taiwan. He said it also does not constitute a U.N. institutional position on the political status of Taiwan, or exclude Taiwan from meaningful participation in the U.N. and other forums. Lambert criticized Beijing for conflating the resolution with its own “one China” principle, leading to confusion in the international community.
Voice of Jeff Liu
Foreign ministry spokesperson
This is the fifth time the U.S. government has expressed strong opposition to the resolution’s distortion. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs sincerely welcomes and appreciates these statements. Resolution 2758 only resolves the issue of China’s representation in the U.N. It does not mention Taiwan or define it as part of the PRC.
During a visit to Taiwan in January, American Institute in Taiwan Chair Laura Rosenberger expressed disappointment over the misuse of Resolution 2758 as a tool against Taiwan. From such explicit statements to recent congressional action, Washington’s support for Taiwan has garnered global attention.
Tsai Ming-yen
National Security Bureau director-general
China is proactively deploying its “one China” framework and mischaracterizations of Resolution 2758 to restrict Taiwan’s international space. Taiwan must clearly articulate its position on its own international status and strengthen cooperation with likeminded nations.
Wang Ting-yu
DPP lawmaker
The “one China” principle is not a part of Taiwan’s future. Lambert’s statement on Resolution 2758 contains new rhetoric. But if we compare it to President Tsai’s “Four Commitments,” we’ll find that although the wording is different, the sentiments are similar.
Due to Chinese oppression, Taiwan is barred from participation in global forums such as the World Health Assembly. Washington is vocally condemning Beijing, taking concrete action to support Taiwan.

美國亞太副助卿挺台! 轟北京"扭曲一中" 錯誤運用第2758號決議
2024-05-01
美國國務院亞太副助卿藍墨客，日前參加華府智庫研討會時表示，聯合國大會2758號決議，並未排除讓台灣有意義地參與聯合國體系，痛批北京為符合自身利益、錯誤運用2758號決議，外交部表示這是美國第五度針對該決議被扭曲，表達反對立場，立委王定宇也分析，藍墨客的言論，跟總統蔡英文提的四大堅持是類似說法。
美國國務院亞太副助卿藍墨客，29號出席華府智庫德國馬歇爾基金會研討會時，痛批北京根本錯誤引用2758號決議！
藍墨客在會中強調，2758號決議並未認可、不等同也不反映一中原則的共識，2758號決議並無涉他國對台關係的主權決定，也不構成聯合國對台灣最終政治地位的立場，更不排除台灣有意義的參與，聯合國體系和其他多邊論壇。更批評北京，是為了符合自身利益錯誤運用2758號決議，和一中原則混為一談，讓ＷＨＡ成員感到混淆。

“這是美國政府第五度針對該決議遭到扭曲，表達嚴正反對立場，外交部表示誠摯歡迎與感謝。聯大第2758號決議，只決定中國在聯合國代表權的歸屬，全文未提及台灣，也未認定台灣是中華人民共和國的一部分”
今年一月美國在台協會主席羅森柏格訪台時，就曾表示，美方非常失望，看到2758號決議內容被曲解，被用來作為對台施壓工具。美國從國會系統挺台，到近年來轉向行政部門官員，更兩度公開闡述，引發關注。
[[國安局局長 蔡明彥]]
“現在中共積極透過，這種國際一中的架構以及2758號決議文的錯誤解釋，希望能夠打壓國際空間。台灣應該很清楚的論述，我們國際地位的立場，也加強跟國際友盟國家的合作”
[[立委(民) 王定宇]]
“一中原則並非，並非台灣未來的歸屬目標之一，這是比較新的說法，他對2758號的詮釋，對照蔡英文總統，在即將卸任之際的四個堅持，其實說法是不同文字，類似的說法”
台灣因中國因素，從ＷＨＡ到其他國際組織，通通不得其門而入，美國公開譴責，用實際行動發聲挺台。
