The Taiwan foreign ministry said that it has not sensed any good will from China regarding the country’s bid to participate in the United Nations.
China has, however, toned down its wording in a recent letter to the UN Secretary-General.
The letter reflected Beijing’s long-term opposition to any participation by Taiwan in UN bodies. This comes despite progress in Taiwan’s relations with China.
Taiwan has asked the UN General Assembly to approve their participation in UN agencies. The foreign ministry said that so far the international community, such as the U.S. and the EU, has responded positively to this bid.
Since 1993, Taiwan has been pushing for participation in the UN. However, Beijing has always blocked the efforts because it argues that Taiwan is part of China.
Experts remain doubtful, however, about Taiwan’s chances of making progress in New York this week.
So far China’s opposition to recognition of Taiwan has prevented any progress being made.
