00:00Taiwan's presidential office has thanked the British Parliament for passing a motion supporting
00:05the country.
00:06That motion rejects China's use of United Nations Resolution 2758 to claim sovereignty
00:12over Taiwan.
00:14China says that resolution transferred Taipei's UN seat to Beijing in 1971, and so means the
00:20global body recognizes Taiwan as part of China.
00:24The British Parliament rejected that stance, saying the resolution does not address the
00:28political status of Taiwan.
00:30The European Union and Canada have passed similar motions in recent months.
