Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said?in
Beijing?Friday that proposal raised by a few countries for the
so-called "Taiwan's representation in the United Nations" is doomed
to fail.
On August 12, the Taiwan authorities instigated Chad and a few
other countries wrote to the UN secretary-general, requesting the
60th session of the UN General Assembly to discuss the issue and a
proposal on peace across the Taiwan Straits.
The nature of the proposals is that the Taiwan authority is
trying to air "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan" and "Taiwan
Independence" in the international community and intended to
tighten situation across the Taiwan Straits, Kong said.
"Such activities violated the UN Charter and is unpopular and is
bound to fail," Kong said.
Since 1993, the General Committee of the UN General Assembly
rejected to add the proposals for the so-called "Taiwan's
representation in the UN" into the assembly's agenda
"Which indicated that the international community share
consensus on the question: There is only one China in the world and
Taiwan, as part of China, is not qualified to join the United
Nations which is composed of sovereignty countries in any name or
manner," Kong said.
The UN Charter and the UN Resolution 2758 must be respected and
safeguarded, he noted.
"It meets the fundamental interest of all Chinese peoples,
including Taiwan compatriots, to reach peaceful reunification of
our motherland," he said.
"The Chinese government has been seeking the peaceful
reunification with the utmost efforts and sincerity."
"We always suggest to resume dialogue and talks across the
straits on the basis of one-China principle and safeguard peace and
stability in the region," he said.
"We carried our significant contacts between the two sides this
year, promoted exchanges in trade, economic and cultural fields,
eased the tense situation across the straits and pushed the
cross-Straits relations toward peace and stability."
"Only if the Taiwan authority recognize the one-China principle,
the cross-Straits dialogue and talks could be resumed immediately,"
Kong said.
However, the Taiwan authority rejected our sincerity and stick
to its separatism stance of seeking "Taiwan Independence,"
continuously hinder cross-Straits relations and carried out
separatist activities without restraint, Kong noted.
All of those posed threat to China's national sovereignty and
territory integrity, forged the largest obstacle for cross-Straits
relations and most vital threat to peace and stability in the
region, he said.
The spokesman said the?proposal confused right and wrong,
urging the Taiwan authority to stop separatism activities and give
up the "Taiwan Independence."
"Only in that way, peace and stability across the straits could
be safeguarded," he said.
