HRES 148 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives 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".

HRES 148 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's view that China misrepresents UN Resolution 2758 (1971) as endorsing its "One China Principle" (claiming Taiwan is part of China), when the resolution only addressed which government represented China at the UN. It clarifies that the U.S. "One China Policy" does not accept China's claim over Taiwan and affirms the U.S. stance that Taiwan's status should be resolved peacefully by the people on both sides of the strait. The resolution opposes China's use of this misrepresentation to pressure other nations to sever ties with Taiwan and block Taiwan's participation in international organizations like the WHO or UN agencies. It specifically urges the U.S. to support Taiwan's meaningful engagement in international bodies and ensure Taiwan passport holders can access UN facilities without requiring Chinese-issued permits. The resolution aims to correct China's "false narratives" about Resolution 2758's meaning, not to change U.S. policy.
