U.S. backs Red China in U.N. vote harming Taiwan
Roscoe Drummond argues that Secretary Rogers will steer the United States to vote for admitting the People's Republic of China to the United Nations and against expelling Taiwan. He notes the 1970 Albanian resolution set a precedent, Taiwan's expulsion is likely as blocs shift toward Beijing, and U.S. defense ties with Taiwan will persist to deter Red China. He also cites Soviet worries about China and Nixon’s possible Moscow outreach to seal a SALT accord.
