He emphasised that the US opposed China's misuse of the resolution to isolate Taiwan, misrepresent the policies of other countries, and limit their options. Wu pointed out that this resolution does not prevent Taiwan from having meaningful participation in the UN system or other multilateral forums, the Taipei Times cited. Wu further stated that the US, in collaboration with its allies and partners, would continue to counter Beijing's efforts to impose its authoritarian principles at the United Nations. In response, Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) expressed gratitude for the US statement, marking this as the first time the US had raised the issue during a UN Security Council meeting, according to MOFA. The last instance of US criticism regarding the misuse of Resolution 2758 was in February, during the World Health Organisation's 156th session of the Executive Board, MOFA noted. Live Events Resolution 2758, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1971, addressed China's representation at the UN and resulted in the Republic of China (ROC), Taiwan's official name, losing its seat to the PRC. Since then, Taiwan has been excluded from participation in the UN and its affiliates, as the UN and the majority of its member states do not recognise Taiwan as a country.

China criticizes US tariffs at UN Security Council meeting
China's envoy to the United Nations has strongly condemned US tariffs, saying they are severely disrupting the global economic order. The UN Security Council held an unofficial meeting on Wednesday at China's request, encouraging all UN member nations to participate. Delegates from the Security Council's permanent and non-permanent members and 15 other nations took part in the meeting. Japan did not participate. Chinese Ambassador to the UN Fu Cong said the US tariff policy "severely infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of all countries," "severely undermines the rules-based multilateral trading system, and severely disrupts the global economic order." He then added, "The international community must make the right choice, make its unified voice heard, and take joint actions." A US representative, Ting Wu, called the meeting "a performative maneuver" and added, "The premise is devoid of any substance or credibility." She said, "The world should look at China's actions rather than its empty claims when judging its contributions to the international system." She concluded her speech by saying the US will "continue to champion a fair economic playing field." Iran and Cuba were among the participants expressing support for China. Some countries, including Britain and South Korea, argued that tariffs should be discussed at other institutions, such as the World Trade Organization.
