UN Shoots Down Taiwan Representation
I guess this is what the UN and China mean by "self-determination":
The General Committee of the UN General Assembly decided Tuesday at its 60th session not to include into the draft agenda the so-called "question of the representation of 23 million people of Taiwan in the UN" and "a proactive role of the United Nations in maintaining peace in the Taiwan Straits."When will the fiction of "One China" end?The General Assembly has, for the 13th consecutive time, thwarted Taiwan's attempt to join the world inter-governmental body composed of sovereign states.
The decision was announced by Jan Eliasson, president of the current session of the UN General Assembly, after a short debate on the issue, raised by Chad and a few other countries.
We ALL know that China and Taiwan are two separate countries with separate governments! No amount of diplomatic niceties will mask that reality.
