Taiwan envoy warns against UN with mainland China
Taiwan Ambassador to the U.S. James C. Hsuan Shen told a Commonwealth Club luncheon that some Americans advocate a miracle linking of the lion and the lamb by backing United Nations membership for Communist China. He warned that the mainland has spent millions on nuclear weapons and may use them to blackmail neighbors, urging that Taiwan will not go away and that the UN should remain with Taiwan. He said Nixon's trip to Peking could be used by the Communists to show the U.S. pays homage. Shen asserted that Taiwan would never share a UN seat with Beijing and that enough UN members care about the charter to keep Taiwan in the world body.
