Recently, certain Dutch media outlets have published signed articles by advocates of “Taiwan independence”, claiming that “the United Nation should not exclude Taiwan.” Such claims blatantly distorted UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, and seek to create international space for separatist activities under the guise of promoting “Taiwan's participation in the UN”. China firmly opposes such attempts.

On October 25, 1971, the 26th Session of the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority, with the Netherlands voting in favor. Resolution 2758 explicitly restored all the rights of the People’s Republic of China within the UN, recognized the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the only lawful representative of China to the UN, and decided to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the UN and all the organizations related to it. 

Resolution 2758 thus settled the issue of China’s representation in the UN politically, legally, and procedurally, establishing the status of the Government of the People's Republic of China as the only lawful representative of China at the UN. Attempts to question the authority or validity of the resolution on the grounds that the word “Taiwan” does not appear in the text constitutes a distortion of historical facts and UN practice.

The One-China principle is a broad consensus within the international community and a fundamental norm of international relations. Taiwan is part of China, and the Taiwan question is purely China's internal affair. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities and certain politicians who advocate for “Taiwan’s participation in the UN” are, in essence, attempting to create “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan”. No matter how these attempts are framed or presented, they cannot alter the fact that Taiwan is part of China, undermine the international community’s broad adherence to the One-China principle, or thwart the Chinese people's firm resolve to achieve national reunification.

The Dutch government has clearly reaffirmed its commitment to the One China Policy as established in the Joint Communiqué between the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Relations between China and the Netherlands have enjoyed long-term, healthy, and stable development based on adherence to the One-China principle.

The One-China principle cannot be challenged, and the authority of UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 cannot be distorted. Any separatist rhetoric or actions that misrepresent Resolution 2758 or advance the so-called “undetermined status of Taiwan” amount to futile attempts that are bound to failure.
