One-China Is Basic Principle Generally Observed by Int'l Community

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said in Beijing early Thursday the latest rejection of a proposal on the so-called Taiwan's "representation" in the United Nations shows once again that one-China is the basic principle generally observed by the international community.

On Sept. 18, the General Committee of the 58th Session of the UN General Assembly decided not to consider the so-called "Taiwan's representation in the UN", which was put forth by Gambia and a few other countries, in the agenda of the current session, Kong Quan said.

It indicates the firm determination of the vast majority of UN members to uphold the UN Charter and the Resolution 2758 of the UN General Assembly, he said.

"There is only one China in the world, and the Chinese mainland and Taiwan belong to one China. The sovereignty and territorial integrity of China cannot be severed," Kong said, adding that to safeguard national unity is a matter concerning the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

"All Chinese people, including the 23 million compatriots in Taiwan, will not agree to the actions of making 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan' in the international community," the spokesman said.
