UN Assembly condemns Russia for treaty breach with Nationalist China
The United Nations General Assembly found Russia guilty of violating the 1945 friendship treaty with Nationalist China and defeated a Russian sponsored bid for blanket admission of 13 countries. The vote on the Chinese accusation was 26 to 9 with 24 abstentions, while the Russian membership proposal failed 2 to 3 in favor or against with several abstentions. The United States framed the decision as a major issue requiring a two thirds vote for admission, and Russia urged reconsideration at the Security Council. The Western bloc opposed admission of Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and outer Mongolia due to Red aggression in Korea and related actions.
