Taiwan has no right to join United Nations, says China

BEIJING China claimed on Wednesday that Taiwan had no right to join the United Nations after the United States ratcheted up pressures with a call for the popular islet to have lesser involvement in the world body.

In a statement marking 50 times since the UN General Assembly suggested to seat Beijing and bobble out Taipei, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday he ruled that Taiwan had been decreasingly barred on the world stage.

“ As the transnational community faces an unknown number of complex and global issues, it’s critical for all stakeholders to help address these problems. This includes the 24 million people who live in Taiwan,” Blinken said.

“ Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system isn’t a political issue, but a realistic one,” he said.

“ That’s why we encourage all UN member states to join us in supporting Taiwan’s robust, meaningful participation throughout the UN system and in the transnational community.” China considers Taiwan — where nationalist forces fled in 1949 after losing a civil war to the socialists — to be a fiefdom awaiting reunification, by force if necessary.

It responded to Blinken’s statement with strident, albeit familiar, statements emphasizing its position that Taiwan’s government had no place on the global political stage.

“ Taiwan has no right to join the United Nations,” Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office in Beijing, told journalists.

“ The United Nations is a transnational governmental organization composed of autonomous countries. Taiwan is a part of China.” The United States has long called for Taiwan’s addition to UN conditioning.

Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu thanked the US for its support “ We appreciate it veritably much,” he said.

“ We ’ll continue to fight for our rights in transnational organizations,” Wu told journalists in Prague during a functionary stint, adding the situation was “ growing more dangerous” as China keeps transferring colors into the Taiwan Strait.

“ We’re determined to defend ourselves,” Wu said.

The rearmost statement adds to an escalation of political rhetoric and military posturing over Taiwan.
China is regularly setting records for its number of warplane breakouts near the islet.

US President Joe Biden last week told a televised forum that the United States was ready to defend Taiwan from any Chinese irruption.

That commentary was snappily walked back by the White House amid warnings from China, continuing a strategy of nebulosity on whether it would intermediate militarily if China attacked. The United States switched recognition in 1979 to Beijing.

But Congress at the same time approved the Taiwan Relations Act that obliged the force of munitions to the islet for its tone-defense.

Blinken on Tuesday reiterated that the United States still recognized only Beijing. But he emphasized the popular credentials of the islet of 23 million people.

“ Taiwan has come to a popular success story,” Blinken said. “ We’re among the numerous UN member countries who view Taiwan as a valued mate and trusted friend.” Blinken refocused on Taiwan’s rejection from meetings associated with the International Civil Aviation Organisation and the World Health Organisation.

He noted that Taiwan was hailed for its “world-class” response to Covid-19 — which largely spared the islet after early intervention — and that knockouts of millions of passengers go through Taiwanese airfields each time.

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen ate Blinken’s reflections.
