People's Daily Bell: The Historical Trend of Adhering to the One China Principle is Unstoppable Cooperation | Establishment of Diplomatic Relations | Principles | International | Parliament | Taiwan | Central America | China
Faced with obstruction and pressure from American politicians and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, the Central American Parliament insists on making the right choice, fully demonstrating that the international community's universal adherence to the One China principle is unshakable and unchallenged. Any attempt to create "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan" will never succeed
On August 21st local time, the Central American Parliament passed two resolutions to cancel the so-called "Legislative Yuan" and "permanent observer" status in Taiwan and accept the National People's Congress of China as a permanent observer. The above resolution once again indicates that adhering to the One China principle is an unstoppable trend of the times.
The One China principle was recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its Resolution 2758 of 1971, and is a universally recognized and fundamental principle in international relations. There is only one China in the world, and the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China. Taiwan is an inseparable part of China's territory, which is an indisputable historical and legal fact.In recent years, Central American countries such as Panama, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras have chosen to establish or resume diplomatic relations with China, fully demonstrating that the One China principle has become a widespread consensus in the Central American region. As a parliamentary organization composed of sovereign countries in the Central American region, the Central American Parliament has decided to abolish the so-called "Legislative Yuan" and "permanent observer" status in Taiwan and accept the National People's Congress of China as a permanent observer, in line with the trend of establishing or restoring diplomatic relations between regional countries and China, and in line with the expectations of the people of regional countries to strengthen cooperation with China.
The vast majority of Central American countries adhere to the One China principle, creating political conditions for strengthening cooperation with China in various fields and bringing tangible benefits to the people of the region. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between Panama and China, the two sides extensively engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as economy, trade, finance, agriculture, tourism, transportation, and maritime affairs. During the COVID-19, China provided strong support for Dominica's fight against the epidemic, and many senators specially commended China for this. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between El Salvador and China, cooperation projects between the two countries, such as the National Library and the Port of La Libertad, have been progressing in an orderly manner. Laureno, the advisor to the Nicaraguan President and leader of cooperation with China, described the development of Nepal China relations since the resumption of diplomatic relations as "rapid," "efficient," and "fruitful.". Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in March this year, China and Honduras have signed a memorandum of understanding on the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", and the first round of negotiations on the China Honduras Free Trade Agreement was launched in early July. The people of Central America fully feel that strengthening cooperation with China is conducive to promoting national development and improving people's lives, and is the correct choice that is in line with national and regional interests.
According to reports, after the motion was proposed by the Central American Parliament, some American politicians attempted to smear China under the guise of "democracy" and put pressure on the Central American Parliament. The authorities of the Democratic Progressive Party in Taiwan are also parroting their words, confusing the public and even using malicious language towards Central American countries. Faced with the obstruction and pressure from American politicians and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, the Central American Parliament insists on making the right choice, fully demonstrating that the international community's universal adherence to the One China principle is unshakable and unchallenged. Any attempt to create "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan" will never succeed.
Adhering to the One China principle is the international righteousness, the will of the people, and the trend of the times, and no force can stop it. Among the members of the Central American Parliament, only Guatemala has not established diplomatic relations with China, and the call for acceptance of the One China principle within the country is increasing. I believe that more and more countries and members of the international community will recognize the trend and make the right decisions that are in line with the trend of the times.
