Bill > SRes86

This resolution addresses the misinterpretation and misuse of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 by the People's Republic of China (PRC) regarding Taiwan's international status. The resolution clarifies that UN Resolution 2758, which originally recognized the PRC's representation in the UN in 1971, was solely about determining China's UN seat and not about Taiwan's sovereignty. The Senate reaffirms the United States' "one China policy" as distinctly different from China's "One China Principle," emphasizing that the U.S. does not recognize PRC control over Taiwan and supports a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues. The resolution condemns China's attempts to use Resolution 2758 to isolate Taiwan, prevent its participation in international organizations, and coerce other countries into accepting its claims. It supports Taiwan's diplomatic relationships, encourages its participation in international forums, and recognizes Taiwan as a valuable global partner. Furthermore, the resolution calls on the U.S. government to work with international partners to counter China's false narratives about Resolution 2758 and supports efforts by other countries to distinguish their policies from China's "One China Principle."
