Das britische Parlament lehnt Chinas UN-bezogene Ansprüche gegenüber Taiwan ab – Focus Taiwan

Submission Statement:

The British Parliament adopted a motion on Taiwan’s international status on Thursday, making it the latest body to reject China’s interpretation of United Nations Resolution 2758, which it has used to make territorial claims over Taiwan.

The motion, which was adopted by the U.K. House of Commons after a debate on “the international status of Taiwan,” stipulated that the U.N. resolution does not address Taiwan’s political status nor establish the People’s Republic of China (PRC) sovereignty over Taiwan.

The U.K. Parliament thus followed Canada, the European Parliament, the Netherlands and Australia in following an initiative by the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) to reject efforts by China to “distort” the meaning of the U.N. resolution in its favor.
