A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) and the harmful conflation of China's "One China Principle" and the United States "One China Policy".

Bill 118 sres 687 is a resolution introduced in the US Senate that aims to address the issue of the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) and the confusion surrounding China's "One China Principle" and the United States' "One China Policy". The resolution expresses the Senate's concern about the harmful conflation of these two principles and calls for a clear distinction to be made between them.

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 (XXVI) was adopted in 1971 and recognized the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate representative of China to the United Nations. This resolution effectively expelled the Republic of China (Taiwan) from the UN. Since then, China has asserted its "One China Principle", which states that there is only one China and that Taiwan is a part of China.

On the other hand, the United States has maintained a "One China Policy", which acknowledges the Chinese position that there is only one China but does not explicitly recognize Taiwan as a part of China. This policy allows for unofficial relations with Taiwan and supports Taiwan's participation in international organizations where statehood is not a requirement. The resolution highlights the importance of maintaining a clear distinction between China's "One China Principle" and the United States' "One China Policy" in order to avoid confusion and misinterpretation. It emphasizes the need for the US to continue supporting Taiwan's participation in international organizations and to uphold its commitment to the security and well-being of the Taiwanese people. Overall, Bill 118 sres 687 seeks to reaffirm the United States' commitment to Taiwan and to promote a peaceful resolution to the longstanding issue of Taiwan's status in relation to China. It underscores the importance of clarity and consistency in US foreign policy towards China and Taiwan.
