U.S. Senate and House members jointly support a proposal opposing the Chinese Communist Party's international pressure on Taiwan

U.S. members of both chambers of Congress jointly support a resolution opposing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) international suppression of Taiwan

February 22 (Secret Translation Team) — The New York Post reported that several U.S. House members have introduced a bipartisan resolution opposing the CCP's pressure on the United States and other countries to force acceptance of its sovereignty claim over Taiwan. The resolution reaffirms that the United States' "One China Policy" and similar policies of its allies are not equivalent to the CCP's "One China Principle."

The main points of the resolution include:

✅ Refuting the Chinese government's false narrative that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 represents international recognition of China's sovereignty over Taiwan; ✅ Reaffirming that the United States' "One China Policy" has never been equivalent to the CCP's "One China Principle"; ✅ Opposing the CCP's obstruction of Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations. Congressional statements

Representative Young Kim (CA-40) said: "The CCP continuously distorts UNGA Resolution 2758 to claim sovereignty over Taiwan. But remember, the United States does not recognize the 'One China Principle' and will not allow the CCP to deprive Taiwan of its international voice or suppress Taiwan's freedom." "I thank my bipartisan colleagues in Congress for supporting Taiwan. Taiwan is a freedom‑loving friend and deserves a seat at international organizations."

Representative Ami Bera (CA-06) said: "Taiwan makes important contributions to global health, trade, and security. This resolution sends a clear bipartisan message to the CCP: we oppose its historical distortion and isolation of Taiwan. The United States will continue to support Taiwan's meaningful participation on the world stage and counter the false narratives that threaten global stability."

Representative John Moolenaar (MI-02) said: "The CCP has long tried to manipulate international bodies, misrepresenting Taiwan's international status for its own benefit. This resolution reaffirms that the United States will not be deceived by these tactics and stands firmly with Taiwan. We must ensure Beijing's historical distortions are not ignored and protect Taiwan's sovereign status internationally."

Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08) said: "The CCP uses Resolution 2758 to claim sovereignty over Taiwan and uses that as a pretext to block Taiwanese representation in international organizations, a practice that is both wrong and dangerous." "We must make one thing clear — UNGA Resolution 2758 is not the 'One China Principle' Beijing claims. I am proud to co‑sponsor this bipartisan, bicameral resolution, and we will work with legislatures of democratic nations worldwide to counter the CCP's misinformation."

Senate support

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch (R‑ID) and senior member Jeanne Shaheen (D‑NH), along with Senators Pete Ricketts (R‑NE) and Chris Coons (D‑DE), introduced the resolution simultaneously in the Senate.

Senator Risch said: "Let me be clear: the United States does not recognize China's sovereignty over Taiwan. The CCP is again trying to mislead the international community by using the United Nations for its political ends, but we see through these malicious tactics and firmly support our Taiwanese friends."

Senator Shaheen said: "Beijing prevents Taiwan from meaningfully participating in the United Nations, further weakening international support for Taiwan. This resolution makes it clear that the United States will not allow this to happen."

"UNGA Resolution 2758 does not define Taiwan's political status, nor does it dictate how countries should interact with Taiwan, and it should not be used as an excuse to block Taiwan's role in UN bodies. The United States, our allies, and the United Nations must oppose the CCP's coercion of a sovereign nation in handling Taiwan affairs and stop its malicious distortion of international resolutions to undermine Taiwan's global support."

Senator Ricketts said: "The CCP's pressure campaign to enforce its 'One China Principle' has a single ultimate goal — to get the international community to accept its isolation, coercion, and even eventual military invasion of Taiwan. We must resolutely reject Beijing's intimidation and historical revisionism while supporting Taiwan's meaningful participation on the world stage."

Senator Coons said: "Taiwan is a thriving democracy and an important partner for the United States in the Indo‑Pacific region." "The United States firmly supports Taiwan's role in international organizations. We should pass this resolution to resist China's coercion of Taiwan and prevent Beijing from intimidating other countries from strengthening ties with Taiwan."

Background information United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 transferred the "China seat" at the United Nations from the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China (China). The resolution does not recognize China's sovereignty over Taiwan, nor does it make any statement on Taiwan's ultimate political status.

The United States' long‑standing "One China Policy" likewise does not determine Taiwan's political status and asserts that the peoples on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should resolve their differences peacefully.
