[edit] Vote

What was the vote on Resolution 2758? Which members voted for/voted against/abstained? 24.54.208.177 20:16, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

I would like to know this, but unfortunately I cannot find the answer yet.--Jusjih 12:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I second this request. It would be very useful to know which supported, voted against and possible abstentions. Neil the Cellist 02:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Short resolution?

Is it just me, or is this resolution really short? Yes, I tried confirming this, but the official UN resolutions site is currently down and obviously there's possible bias by looking at TaiwanDocuments.org , or even examining the resolution provided on Wikipedia. (No, I'm not saying that Wikipedia sucks, on the contrary, I love this website) Neil the Cellist 02:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

According to the "Controversy" section, ROC government claims that the expulsion was illegally, because the Resolution 2758 has violated Article 6 of UN Charter.

However, a case can be made that ROC was recognized as the sole legitimate Chinese government, replacing imperial Ching government in 1912,

There was and is a state named China both before and after 1912: because the number of states didn't increase; and that ROC inherited all rights and obligations of Ching government.

In 1949, CCP overthrew KMT's ROC government and established PRC government. PRC asked other states to recognize that "there is only one China" and that " PRC government was the sole legitimate government of China".

In 1971, Resolution 2758 was adopted by UN General Assembly, expelling ROC government and transferring UN China seat to PRC government and recognizing PRC as the sole legitimate government of China.

This clearly indicates that PRC was succeeded ROC in 1949 just in the same manner that ROC succeeded imperial Ching government in 1912.

I suggest that the aforementioned information should be integrated into the main article.

It is so clear that Chiang Kai Shek's government is unlawful and violates UN Charter according to the UN Resolution 2758 therefore China's seat was restored to People's Republic of China. Accroding to the UN Resolution 2758 there is only one government that represents China, which is the People's Republic of China, unlike the case of West and East Germany and North/South Korea, UN Resolution 2758 sets the rule to make ROC impossible to re-enter UN.

-"Decides to restore all its rights to the People's Republic of China and to recognize the representatives of its Government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the United Nations, and to expel forthwith the representatives of Chiang Kai-shek from the place which they unlawfully occupy at the United Nations and in all the organizations related to it."

However, Taiwan is still trying to enter UN by asking countries that have diplomatic relation with it to attempt to apply membership in the UN General Assembly each year since 90's. Whether such effort by Taiwan would succeed or not, there are two factors number one is PRC's anti-succession law and number two is Taiwanese seperation from the ROC (ROC is not recognized by the UN).

[edit] Stop POV pushing

User:82.170.31.188 would you please stop POV pushing of what wasn't said in the resolution? --WinHunter (talk) 08:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I tried to clarify the process re: formal expulsion and the ROC's de facto expulsion. This process probably needs to be explained in more detail in the article. I typed the latest edit off the top of my head.--Jiang 07:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Sure, your clarification looks fine. I made some minor modifications though, you can check if it is ok. --WinHunter (talk) 07:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
