The United States has called for all member states of the United Nations (U.N.) to support Taiwan’s “robust, meaningful participation” in the system, saying the world has much to learn from the self-ruled island’s “democratic success story.”
“As the international community faces an unprecedented number of complex and global issues, it is critical for all stakeholders to help address these problems. This includes the 24 million people who live in Taiwan,” said Secretary of State Antony Blinken in an Oct. 26 statement marking the 50th year since Taiwan was voted out of the U.N. to give way to the Chinese communist regime.
