Beijing\u2019s <strong>lawfare<\/strong> campaign, which includes deliberate efforts to <strong>distort the United Nations (UN) Resolution 2758<\/strong>, is an illustrative component of the regime\u2019s <strong>political warfare<\/strong>, which U.S. diplomat George Kennan <a href=\"https:\/\/history.state.gov\/historicaldocuments\/frus1945-50Intel\/d269\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">described<\/a> as \u201cthe employment of all the means at a nation\u2019s command, short of war, to achieve its national objectives.\u201d<\/p><p>Within the Chinese party-state, the PLA is <strong>not a genuine national military<\/strong> under the control of the state but rather <strong>the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party<\/strong> (CCP), which defines <strong>protecting the party\u2019s rule <\/strong>and <strong>defending the party\u2019s interests<\/strong> as its core objectives. Consequently, analyzing the PLA&#8217;s <strong>nonmaterial power projection capabilities<\/strong>, manifested in its political warfare, remains critical for understanding <strong>the Chinese strategy<\/strong>.<\/p><p>The PLA\u2019s most developed doctrinal and operational framework of political warfare is the \u201c<strong>Three Warfares<\/strong>\u201d\u2014 <strong>psychological<\/strong>, <strong>public opinion<\/strong>, and <strong>legal<\/strong>\u2014which were known to be first <a href=\"https:\/\/mil.news.sina.com.cn\/2004-07-16\/1738210714.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">formulated<\/a> in the 2003 \u201c<strong>Political Work Guidelines of the People\u2019s Liberation Army<\/strong>.\u201d Concerning Taiwan, realizing the strategy of the \u201cThree Warfares\u201d could allow Beijing to annex the democratic island nation without firing a single bullet.

While the resolution granted the PRC the status of the sole representative of China in the UN, <strong>it does not discuss Taiwan\u2019s status<\/strong> \u2013 notably, the word <strong>\u201cTaiwan\u201d does not even appear in the document<\/strong>. At the same, Beijing is actively <strong>distorting the meaning of the resolution<\/strong>, asserting that it provides a <strong>basis for its sovereignty claims over Taiwan <\/strong>and justifies <strong>Taiwan\u2019s exclusion from<\/strong> <strong>international organizations<\/strong>. In reality, the document only addresses the issue of <em>China\u2019s<\/em> representation within the UN system. It does not resolve the international legal question of Taiwan\u2019s status.<\/p><p>These efforts to <strong>distort the meaning of the UN Resolution 2758 <\/strong>constitute <strong>a tool of China\u2019s lawfare<\/strong> as Beijing actively seeks to misuse the document to secure international acceptance of its version of the <strong>\u201cOne China\u201d principle<\/strong> under <strong>customary international law<\/strong>.

The document does not purport to regulate Taiwan\u2019s international status, its ability to participate in the works of international organizations in any capacity or whether Taiwan is a part of the PRC. <strong>Any such language is simply not present in the resolution. <\/strong><\/p><p>Despite China\u2019s claims, its <strong>\u201cone<\/strong> <strong>China\u201d<\/strong> <strong>principle<\/strong> <strong>formulation is not universally accepted under customary international law.<\/strong> Instead, many states worldwide, including Czechia, have formulated their own <strong>\u201cone China\u201d policies<\/strong>, which can adapt and change to adjust to the evolving context of cross-strait relations.

Consequently, in the efforts to counteract China\u2019s lawfare, it is imperative to <strong>challenge the myth of consensus <\/strong>over the question of \u201cone China\u201d and clearly distinguish between China\u2019s \u201cOne China\u201d principle and other countries\u2019 definitions of their \u201cone China\u201d policies.<\/p><p>In recognition of the PLA\u2019s lawfare efforts, which include distortion of the UN Resolution 2758, democratic countries began to devise <strong>defensive strategies<\/strong> to <strong>uphold the rule of law <\/strong>and <strong>preserve international peace and security<\/strong>.
