On July 25, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Taiwan International Solidarity Act by voice vote, arguing that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 does not apply to Taiwan and committing to confront mainland China's behavior in international organizations that "distorts" matters related to Taiwan. The bill was previously passed by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs on May 16.
On May 17, in response to this bill, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office pointed out that the U.S. proposal was completely wrong and absurd. A series of international legal documents, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, have clearly and unmistakably confirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan, with the United States being one of the countries present during the agreements. The U.N. General Assembly's 1971 Resolution 2758 clearly resolved the issue of representing the entirety of China, including Taiwan, in the United Nations, politically, legally and procedurally. Some American politicians have repeatedly made a fuss about UNGA Resolution 2758, perhaps out of ignorance or driven by ulterior motives.
Taiwan's "green camp" jumped for joy over the House passage of the Taiwan International Solidarity Act , but it has also attracted a lot of ridicule and criticism. Democratic Progressive Party legislator Zhao Tianlin called it unprecedented support from the United States to Taiwan. However, some on social media say the bill has exposed the ignorance of American politicians and revealed their nefarious nature. The bill, they say, is a way for American idiots to purposely show off their ignorance and stupidity.
The Taiwan International Solidarity Act maliciously reinterprets Resolution 2758 and puts forward new terms for Taiwan sovereignty, all of which will inevitably have a negative impact on Chinese-U.S. relations. On the one hand, Washington has recently been eager to mend U.S.-China relations, but on the other, it brings up new issues and creates new problems, which is extremely unwise.
Of course, how can U.N. General Assembly resolutions be decided by the U.S. House of Representatives?! The world is not in the hands of the United States, let alone the U.S. Congress. Any attempt to distort or even deny the authority and effectiveness of UNGA Resolution 2758 is simply done in vain.
