UN Debate Sees Chinese Reds Near Full U N Seat
At Lake Success on November 27 Chinese Communist representatives appeared in the General Assembly as the Korean War raged, with Vishinsky accusing the United States of aggression and Dulles defending American policy. The assembly's political committee moved toward basic rules of representation, with a later ballot planned on whether the Communist or Nationalist side would occupy China’s seat. The executive board of UNICEF saw the Chinese Reds come within one vote of full membership, 12 to 12, before another vote was scheduled. Vishinsky urged condemning U S actions and lifting the blockade of Formosa, while Dulles argued no blockade existed and noted limited American troop presence. The American delegate cited renewed Chinese-American friendship and hoped for a favorable outcome.
