中方關於聯大第2758號決議的立場檔案

2025-09-30 19:12

1971年10月25日，第26屆聯合國大會以壓倒性多數通過第2758號決議，“決定恢復中華人民共和國的一切權利，承認中華人民共和國政府的代表為中國在聯合國組織的唯一合法代表並立即把蔣介石的代表從它在聯合國組織及其所屬一切機構中所非法佔據的席位上驅逐出去”。該決議從政治上、法律上和程序上乾淨徹底地解決了包括台灣在內全中國在聯合國的代表權問題。它的合法性、有效性、權威性不容挑戰。

一、聯大第2758號決議鄭重確認、充分體現了一個中國原則

一個中國原則的基本涵義有三層，即世界上只有一個中國，台灣是中國領土不可分割的一部分，中華人民共和國政府是代表全中國的唯一合法政府。 

一個中國原則是聯大第2758號決議的前提和基礎，聯大第2758號決議則鄭重確認、充分體現了一個中國原則。決議明確了世界上只有一個中國，中華人民共和國政府是代表包括台灣在內全中國的唯一合法代表，不存在“兩個中國”“一中一台”。

根據《聯合國憲章》的規定，中國是聯合國創始成員國和安理會常任理事國。1945年聯合國成立時，中國的國號是中華民國。1949年，中國人民推翻中華民國政府，並改國號為中華人民共和國，成立中華人民共和國中央人民政府。這屬於一國內部新政權取代舊政權，中國的主權和固有領土疆域並未由此而改變，中華人民共和國政府理所當然地完全享有和行使中國的主權，其中包括對台灣的主權，也理所應當地在國際關係中代表全中國，包括享有和行使中國在聯合國的一切權利。

1949年11月，時任中華人民共和國中央人民政府政務院總理周恩來致電聯合國秘書長和第四屆聯大主席，聲明“國民黨反動政府”已喪失了代表中國人民的任何法律的與事實的根據，要求聯合國立即取消“中國國民政府代表團”繼續代表中國人民參加聯合國的一切權利。

極少數外部勢力鼓噪聯大第2758號決議沒有出現“中華民國”或“台灣”字樣，妄稱“決議與台灣沒有關係”。事實是決議徹底杜絕了製造“兩個中國”或“一中一台”的任何可能。聯合國是由主權國家組成的國際組織，只能接受主權國家派出的代表，台灣是中國的一部分，不是主權國家，無權向聯合國派出代表。1949年國民黨統治集團退踞台灣後，雖然其繼續使用“中華民國”和“中華民國政府”的名稱，但這時的所謂“中華民國”“中華民國政府”與1945年簽署《聯合國憲章》時的“中華民國”“中華民國政府”存在本質區別，它早已完全無權代表中國行使國家主權，無權繼續在聯合國代表中國。所以1971年的聯大第2758號決議不能使用“中華民國政府代表”的提法，更不能使用“驅逐台灣當局的代表”的提法。

聯大第2758號決議具有廣泛而權威的法律效力，為聯合國系統及機構妥善處理台灣問題提供了權威依據。在聯大第2758號決議通過後，聯合國官方檔案對台稱謂均為“台灣，中國的省”（Taiwan, Province of China）。聯合國秘書處法律事務辦公室出具的法律意見也強調，“聯合國認為，台灣作為中國的一個省沒有獨立地位”“台灣當局不享有任何形式的政府地位”。這是聯合國的一貫立場，均有案可查。

聯大第2758號決議的通過在國際關係實踐中產生了廣泛而深遠的政治影響，有力推動一個中國原則成為國際關係基本準則和國際社會廣泛共識。迄今，已有183個國家在一個中國原則基礎上與中國建立和發展外交關係。

二、聯大第2758號決議表決的過程表明，美國等一些國家阻撓國際社會堅持一個中國原則的日子一去不復返了

中華人民共和國為恢復在聯合國的合法席位堅決鬥爭了22年，其中一個重要原因就是美國等西方國家的持續阻撓。

1971年9月第26屆聯大開幕時，支援中華人民共和國恢復在聯合國席位的態勢已經很清晰了，但美國不甘心失敗，還想試圖阻撓。美國主要設定了兩道障礙：一是“重要問題”提案，要求將驅逐蔣介石代表作為《聯合國憲章》第18條規定的“重要問題”，必須由“到會及投票之會員國三分之二多數決定”；二是“雙重代表權”提案，把“確認中華人民共和國的代表權”和“繼續保留中華民國的代表權”放到一起，實質是要在聯合國製造“兩個中國”。許多國家站出來堅決反對，認為該提案“非法且不符合現實、正義和聯合國憲章原則”。“重要問題”提案遭到否決後，聯大通過第2758號決議。由於中國在聯合國的代表權已經解決，“雙重代表權”提案無須再付諸表決，淪為廢案。

決議磋商過程中，絕大多數國家均認同台灣屬於中國。許多國家代表表示支援一個中國原則、反對“兩個中國”“一中一台”。主要觀點有：一是大會面臨的問題既不是接納一個會員國，也不是排除一個現有的會員國。問題是代表權的問題，也就是說，誰該佔有聯合國的中國席位。二是已經被中國人民拋棄並從中國大陸驅逐到台灣的蔣介石政權的代表絕對不能在聯合國內代表中國，因此他們留在聯合國內必須被認為是非法的。三是譴責美國以其帝國主義政策，20多年來把蔣介石集團作為中國的代表強行塞進聯合國，漠視中國的真正代表權等。

聯大第2758號決議出台的過程本身，充分反映了國際社會堅持一個中國原則的大勢不可阻擋，不存在“兩個中國”或“一中一台”。這不僅是中國人民的勝利，也是世界各國人民反對霸權主義、強權政治獲得的勝利。

三、挑戰聯大第2758號決議就是挑戰二戰後國際秩序和聯合國權威，開歷史倒車必遭失敗

聯大第2758號決議開宗明義指出：“回顧聯合國憲章的原則”“恢復中華人民共和國的合法權利對於維護聯合國憲章和聯合國組織根據憲章所必須從事的事業都是必不可少的”，鄭重闡明了維護聯合國權威的鮮明立場。聯合國是二戰後國際秩序的核心。中華人民共和國恢復在聯合國合法席位，標誌著佔世界人口四分之一的中國人民從此重新走上聯合國舞台。這對中國、對世界都具有重大而深遠的意義。任何試圖挑戰聯大第2758號決議的行徑，不僅是在挑戰中國的主權和領土完整，也是在挑戰聯合國權威，挑戰二戰後國際秩序，公然開歷史倒車，十分荒謬和危險。

美國等一些國家歪曲挑戰聯大第2758號決議，翻炒所謂“台灣地位未定”的謊言謬論，進而為台灣謀求“國際空間”鋪路。這是對國家主權平等、不干涉內政等國際關係基本準則的踐踏。

台灣從來不是一個國家，過去不是，現在不是，今後也絕無可能。台灣地位問題早在1945年中國人民抗日戰爭勝利時就已經徹底解決。包括台灣同胞在內的中國人民，經過浴血奮戰和巨大犧牲換來的勝利成果，絕不是某些西方政客的虛假敘事所能撼動的。

儘管海峽兩岸尚未完全統一，但中國的主權和領土從未分割也決不允許分割，台灣是中國領土一部分的地位從未改變也決不允許改變。想要走歷史的回頭路，妄圖將台灣再度從中國分裂出去，14億中國人民絕不答應！國際社會也不會支援！

China’s Position Paper on the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758

Updated: September 30, 2025 19:17

On October 25, 1971, at the 26th session of the U.N. General Assembly, Resolution 2758 was adopted with an overwhelming majority, which “decides to restore all its rights to the People’s Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place where they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it.” The resolution resolved once and for all the question of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, in the U.N., as a political, legal and procedural issue. The resolution brooks no challenge to its legitimacy, validity, and authority.

1.UNGA Resolution 2758 solemnly confirms and fully embodies the one-China principle. 

The core meaning of the one-China principle includes three aspects: there is but one China in the world, the Taiwan region is an inalienable part of China’s territory, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

The one-China principle is the premise and foundation for UNGA Resolution 2758, while the resolution solemnly confirms and fully embodies the one-China principle. The resolution makes it clear that there is but one China in the world and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate representative of the whole of China, including the Taiwan region. There is no such thing as “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.”

According to the U.N. Charter, China is a founding member of the U.N. and a permanent member of the Security Council. In 1945, when the U.N. was founded, the official name of China was the Republic of China (ROC). In 1949, the Chinese people overthrew the ROC government, renamed the country the People’s Republic of China, and established the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China. It was a new government replacing the old one within the same country; and China’s sovereignty and inherent territorial boundaries stayed unchanged. Thus, the government of the People’s Republic of China naturally and fully enjoys and exercises China’s sovereignty, including sovereignty over the Taiwan region; and also naturally represents the whole China in international relations, including enjoying and exercising all the rights of China in the U.N.

In November 1949, Zhou Enlai, then Premier of the Government Administration Council of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China, sent a telegram to the U.N. Secretary General and the President of the fourth UNGA, stating that the reactionary government of the Chinese Nationalist Party had lost all legal and factual grounds to represent the Chinese people and demanding that the U.N. immediately revoke all rights of the delegation of the Government of the Republic of China to continue representing the Chinese people at the U.N.

A handful of external forces have groundlessly asserted that as the terms “Republic of China” and “Taiwan” did not appear in Resolution 2758, the resolution has nothing to do with Taiwan. The fact is that UNGA Resolution 2758 completely precluded any possibility of creating “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.” The U.N. is an international organization of sovereign states, and accepts only representatives from such states. Since Taiwan is part of China, not a sovereign state, it therefore has no right to send representatives to the U.N. Although in 1949, the Kuomintang ruling clique continued to use “Republic of China” and “government of the Republic of China” after retreating to Taiwan, however, the so-called “Republic of China” and “government of the Republic of China” in 1949 were fundamentally different from the “Republic of China” and “government of the Republic of China” in 1945 when the U.N. Charter was signed. It had no authority to exercise state sovereignty on behalf of China and had no right to continue representing China in the U.N. Therefore, the term “representative of the government of the Republic of China” must not be used in UNGA Resolution 2758 adopted in 1971, and the phrase “expelling the representatives of the Taiwan authorities” must not be used either.

UNGA Resolution 2758 carries extensive and authoritative legal force, serves as the authoritative basis for the U.N. and organizations related to it to properly handle the Taiwan question. After the adoption of UNGA Resolution 2758, all official U.N. documents referred to Taiwan as “Taiwan, Province of China.” It was clearly stated in the official legal opinions of the Office of Legal Affairs of the U.N. Secretariat that “the United Nations considers ‘Taiwan’ as a province of China with no separate status” and the “‘authorities’ in ‘Taipei’ are not considered to … enjoy any form of government status.” This has been the consistent position of the U.N. and is clearly documented.

The adoption of Resolution 2758 had a wide-reaching and profound political impact on the practice of international relations. It effectively made the one-China principle a basic norm of international relations and a prevailing consensus in the international community. To date, 183 countries have established and developed diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle.

2.The voting process on UNGA Resolution 2758 demonstrated that the days when the U.S. and some other countries could obstruct the international community from upholding the one-China principle had  gone for good.

Before 1971, the People’s Republic of China had been fighting hard to regain its lawful seat in the U.N. for 22 years. One major obstacle was the sustained obstruction of the U.S. and some other Western countries.

At the time when the 26th session of the U.N. General Assembly opened in September 1971, there was prevailing support for the seat of the People’s Republic of China to be restored. Unwilling to accept this outcome, the U.S. persisted in its attempts to obstruct the process. It primarily erected two major obstacles: The “Important Question” draft resolution, which sought to designate the expulsion‌ of the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek as an “important question” under Article 18 of the U.N. Charter, thereby requiring for its decision a two-thirds majority of the Members present and voting. The other was the “Dual Representation” draft resolution, which combined “confirming the representation of the People’s Republic of China” with “retaining the representation of the Republic of China,” essentially trying to create “two Chinas” within the U.N. A significant number of Member States voiced strong opposition, asserting the proposal was “illegal and inconsistent with reality, justice and the principles of the U.N. Charter.” The “Important Question” draft resolution was rejected. Subsequently, the General Assembly passed Resolution 2758. As the question of China’s representation was thus resolved, the “Dual Representation” draft resolution was not put to the vote and was effectively invalidated.

During the consultations on the resolution, an overwhelming majority of countries recognized that Taiwan is part of China. Representatives from many countries expressed support for the one-China principle, opposing “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.” The main arguments advanced were as follows: First, the issue before the General Assembly was neither the admission of a new Member State nor the expulsion of an existing one. The question was one of representation, namely, who was entitled to occupy China’s seat in the U.N. Second, the representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek regime, which had been repudiated by the Chinese people and driven from China’s mainland to Taiwan, could under no circumstances represent China in the U.N. Therefore, their continued presence within the Organization must be deemed illegal. Third, there was strong condemnation of the U.S. and its imperialist policies, which for more than 20 years had forcibly imposed the Chiang Kai-shek clique as the representatives of China to the U.N., thereby disregarding the legitimate representation of China.

The whole process leading to the adoption of Resolution 2758 speaks volume for the irreversible trend of the international community to uphold the one-China principle, and there is no “two Chinas” or “one China, one Taiwan.” This is not only a victory of the Chinese people, but also a victory of people around the world against hegemonism and power politics.

3.To challenge UNGA Resolution 2758 is to challenge the post-World War II international order and the authority of the U.N. Any attempt to turn back the wheel of history is doomed to fail.

Resolution 2758 clearly states that “recalling the principles of the Charter of the United Nations,” “the restoration of the lawful rights of the People’s Republic of China is essential both for the protection of the Charter of the United Nations and for the cause that the United Nations must serve under the Charter.” This reflects the resolution’s clear position on upholding the authority of the United Nations. The United Nations is at the center of the post-World War II international order. The restoration of the People’s Republic of China’s lawful seat in the U.N. marked the return of the Chinese people, or one-fourth of the world’s population, to the stage of the U.N. This is of great, far-reaching significance both to China and the world. Any attempt to challenge Resolution 2758 constitutes not only a challenge to China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also a challenge to the authority of the U.N. as well as the post-World War II international order. Flagrantly reversing the course of history is absurd and highly dangerous.

The U.S. and a handful of other countries are distorting and challenging Resolution 2758, laboriously peddling the pernicious falsehood of “Taiwan’s status being undetermined” in a bid to pave the way for Taiwan to seek “international space.” This constitutes a gross violation of the fundamental norms of international relations, including the principles of sovereign equality and non-interference in internal affairs.

Taiwan has never been an independent country, not in the past,not at present and still less in the future. The question of Taiwan’s status was fundamentally resolved in 1945, when the Chinese people won the great victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This victory was won by the Chinese people including our Taiwan compatriots through hard-fought battles and great sacrifices. It shall by no means be undermined by the false narratives of some Western politicians.

Although the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are yet to be fully reunified, China’s sovereignty and territory have never been and shall never be divided. The status of Taiwan as a part of China’s territory has never changed and shall never change. Attempt to turn back the wheel of history and separate Taiwan from China once again will never be accepted by the 1.4 billion Chinese people or supported by the international community.
