BEIJING: Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 7th. Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, responded to the arguments questioning UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 at the Two Sessions Press Conference on the 7th.
Wang Yi: This argument is a blatant challenge to the authority of the United Nations and the post-war international order. It is absurd and dangerous. Those who spread this kind of argument should first improve their basic common sense.
Wang Yi said that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. This is both history and fact. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s liberation. The victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression enabled Taiwan to return to China's territory. The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation issued by the major victorious countries that year both clearly stipulated that Taiwan, which was stolen by Japan, should be returned to China. Japan also announced its recognition of the Potsdam Proclamation and unconditional surrender. These all confirm China's sovereignty over Taiwan and constitute an important part of the post-war international order.
Wang Yi&&, in 1971, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority, deciding to restore all the legal rights of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations and immediately expel the representatives of the Taiwan authorities from the United Nations and all its agencies. This resolution completely resolved the issue of the representation of all of China, including Taiwan, in the United Nations, and completely eliminated any possibility of creating "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan". The only name for the Taiwan region in the United Nations is "Taiwan Province of China." Taiwan has never been a country, not in the past, and certainly not in the future. Advocating "Taiwan independence" is to split the country, supporting "Taiwan independence" is to interfere in China's internal affairs, and tolerating "Taiwan independence" is to undermine stability.
Wang Yi said that the principle of sovereignty is the cornerstone of the UN Charter, and no country or individual should adopt double standards. Respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries means supporting China's complete reunification, and upholding the one China principle means opposing any form of "Taiwan independence". Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of all Chinese people. It is the general trend and the righteous cause. "Taiwan independence" will only play with fire and get itself burned, and "using China to contain China" is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot. China will eventually be unified and will surely be unified.

The realization of the complete reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of all Chinese people, the general trend and the righteousness. "Taiwan independence" will only play with fire and burn itself, and "using Taiwan to control China" is tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a car. China will eventually reunify and will definitely reunify.
The Third Session of the 14th National People's Congress held a press conference at 10 a.m. on March 7, 2025 (Friday) in the Press Conference Hall of the Media Center, inviting Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, to answer questions from Chinese and foreign reporters on "China's foreign policy and foreign relations".
