Taiwan
United Nations

Shortly after the General Committee of the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly refused to include the issue of Taiwan's application for UN membership in the agenda of the assembly, China's UN Ambassador Wnag Guangya said, "The United Nations is an international organization whose membership requires statehood. As a part of China, Taiwan is not eligible to apply for UN membership."

Later, after the General Assembly approved the general committee's recommendation, Wang pointed out that General Assembly Resolution 2758 has long resolved once and for all China's representation in the UN politically, legally and in terms of procedures. "The political and legal meanings of this resolution are integrated and clear-cut," he said. "The scope of China's territory has never been changed since the founding of the United Nations. China's representation in the United Nations certainly includes Taiwan."
