China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Tuesday said Taiwan was 'not qualified' to join the UN as a Chinese province.
Foreign Relations Committee Chair Bob Menendez advocated for Taiwan's"meaningful participation in the United Nations" and other UN-centered bodies., among others, Taiwan's foreign minister argued that UNGA Resolution 2758 shouldn't be misrepresented to exclude Taiwan from the global governing body.
The official, who Beijing has singled out for challenging its official position, noted:"The Taiwanese people can only be represented on the international stage by their popularly elected government. By falsely equating the language of the resolution with Beijing's 'one China principle,' the PRC is arbitrarily imposing its political views on the UN."
For the people of Taiwan, according to Wu, it would also set right"discriminatory treatment" such as Taiwanese passport holders being barred from UN premises—even as tourists—and Taiwanese journalists being denied accreditation for UN events.
