The UN and China's Seat: A Diplomatic Debate
The EU reiterates that the United Nations Resolution 2758 was solely about changing representation from Taipei to Beijing and did not mention Taiwan. China uses the resolution to support its territorial claims over Taiwan, while Taiwan disputes this interpretation, seeking support from European nations.

- Taiwan
The European Union clarified that the United Nations Resolution 2758, which allowed Beijing to take China's seat from Taipei in 1971, did not mention Taiwan. This comes amid China's claims that the resolution supports its territorial ambitions over Taiwan, even as Taiwan's government disputes these assertions.
United Nations Resolution 2758 is brief, comprising only 150 words, and does not address Taiwan. It merely transferred United Nations representation from Chiang Kai-shek's representatives in Taiwan to the People's Republic of China. The resolution has become a focal point for broader geopolitical disagreements between China, Taiwan, and other global powers.
The EU stressed China's responsibility to uphold international peace as a United Nations Security Council permanent member, cautioning against using force. As Taiwan seeks greater European support amidst China's diplomatic pressure, tensions over the interpretation of the resolution continue to rise.
