British Parliament Rejects China's UN Resolution 2758 Claims Over Taiwan
Nov 28, 2024, 11:09 PM
On November 27, the British Parliament debated and passed a motion regarding Taiwan, led by Blair McDougall, which explicitly rejects China's claims over Taiwan based on UNGA Resolution 2758. The motion states that the resolution does not mention Taiwan, does not address its political status, does not establish the People's Republic of China's (PRC) sovereignty over Taiwan, and is silent on Taiwan's status. This parliamentary action has drawn sharp criticism from China, with the Chinese Embassy in the UK and the Global Times arguing that the motion cannot change the international consensus that Taiwan is part of China. They further assert that such actions by British MPs are aimed at causing trouble and seeking attention, while China remains steadfast in its commitment to reunification. The motion also comes in the context of Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te's political activities.
