Abstract
Beijing is determined to win the world over to its one-China principle, which holds that Taiwan is an “inalienable part” of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Disinformation is central to that effort.
This includes Beijing’s regularly repeated claims that “Taiwan has been an integral part of China’s territory since ancient times” (it hasn’t), that “the one-China principle is a universal consensus of the international community” (it isn’t), and that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 “fully reflects and solemnly reaffirms the one-China principle” (it doesn’t).
