Beijing, September 8 /Xinhua/ — Mao Ning, an official spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, reminded on Tuesday that Taiwan has never been a state and never will be, adding that the deliberate distortion by the Lai Ching-te administration of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 has once again demonstrated the separatist nature of this administration, aimed at achieving “Taiwan independence.”

Mao Ning made a corresponding statement at a regular briefing for journalists, commenting on Lai Qingde’s remarks that China allegedly distorts UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and that Taiwan is a “sovereign independent state.”

According to the diplomat, Lai Ching-te’s absurd judgments will not change the historical and legal fact that both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one China, nor will they shake the international community’s firm commitment to the one-China principle.

Mao Ning reminded that UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 solemnly affirmed the One-China principle and clearly stipulated to “restore all rights to the People’s Republic of China and recognize its government representatives as the sole legitimate representatives of China in the United Nations.”

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China emphasized that from political, legal, and procedural points of view this resolution finally resolved the issue of representation of all China, including Taiwan, at the UN, and clearly established that in the UN there is only one seat for China and there are no “two Chinas” and no “one China, one Taiwan.” –0–
