Meanwhile,
President Lai Ching-te has admonished Beijing for "distorting" UN Resolution 2758 to justify its territorial claims over Taiwan and to deny the island participation in the United Nations system.
In a pre-recorded message to delegates at the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit in New York, Lai said Beijing's twisting of the resolution is aimed at supporting and promoting its 'one China principle.'
Lai said Beijing is falsely claiming that Taiwan is a part of the People's Republic of China and that it has no right to participate in the U-N system and other international agencies.
The president added "democratic Taiwan and authoritarian China are not subordinate to each other."
He also urged other democratic nations to support democratic institutions worldwide and "counter authoritarian aggression," including China's military intimidation in the Taiwan Strait and East and South China Seas.. as well as and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
