Webinar 404: Taiwan Not Found // Chinese Distortion of the UN Resolution 2758

The UN Resolution 2758 contains 155 words, and “Taiwan” is not among them. Passed in 1971, the document transferred China’s seat at the United Nations from the “representatives of Chiang Kai-shek” to the People’s Republic of China. Yet, it does not address the issue of Taiwan’s sovereignty, nor does it proscribe the island nation’s participation in international organizations. Yet, the resolution has become instrumentalized by the People’s Republic of China. Actively seeks to limit Taiwan’s international space, Beijing distorts the meaning of the resolution and equates it with its unilateral one-China principle.

During this webinar, our guest experts will explain the issue of China’s misrepresentation of UN Resolution 2758 in the context of Beijing’s lawfare and propose actionable solutions for countering the Chinese Communist Party’s political warfare.
