Taiwan needs US help in UN bid
By Michael Lin 林正二
On April 19, the US Congress introduced a bipartisan draft Taiwan international solidarity act to decouple Taiwan from UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, emphasizing that the resolution deals with the right to represent China and does not involve Taiwan’s sovereignty.
Resolution 2758 does not indicate that Taiwan is part of China, so if the bill is passed by the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, and signed by US President Joe Biden, it would create a good opportunity for Taiwan to seek UN membership under the name “Taiwan.”
However, considering that the situation is unfavorable to Taiwan the US and most other countries follow a “one China” policy, and China controls many UN member states if it is to succeed in becoming a UN member, Taiwan must seek US support.
