The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is refuting China's position paper on
Resolution 2758 adopted by the United Nations in 1971, which Beijing has used
as the basis to claim sovereignty over Taiwan.

The ministry says U-N resolution 2758 only expelled the representatives of
Chiang Kai-shek "from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United
Nations and in all the organizations related to it" ...

... it added the resolution does not mention Taiwan, nor does it state that
Taiwan... it also does not give Beijing the right to represent Taiwan in the
U-N.

MOFA's statement comes a day after China's foreign ministry posted a position
paper on Resolution 2758 on its website... and after General Debates
involving the 80th session of the U-N General Assembly wrapped up in New
York.

That position paper claimed that Resolution 2758 "confirms and fully embodies
the one-China principle" and accused the U-S and a handful of other countries
of "distorting and challenging Resolution 2758" in a bid to pave the way for
Taiwan to seek "international space."

MOFA here called China's misinterpretation of the resolution "absurd and
ridiculous" and "exposes" Beijing's "attempt to sabotage the rules-based
world order."
