Taiwan's UN move 'doomed to failure'

China stands firmly opposed to the inclusion of the so-called "Taiwan's entry into the United Nations" issue on the agenda of the 62nd General Assembly of the United Nations.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks yesterday in response to a letter on the issue.

The letter was presented on August 14 to President Haya Rashed al Khalifa of the 61st UN General Assembly by a very small number of countries including the Solomon Islands and Malawi which were encouraged by the Taiwan authorities.
