One of the charter members of the United Nations and is one of five permanent members of its Security Council.

China was honored for its long struggle on the War of Resistance against Axis Power since Japanese aggression in Northeast China as the first signatory to affix the United Nations Charter on 24 August 1945. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was the representative of the Republic of China.

In November 1950, Wu Xiuquan (first from the left in the front row), representing the People's Republic of China spoke at the UN Security Council.

The subsequent resumption of the Chinese Civil War led to the establishment of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949.

From the 1960s onwards, nations friendly to the PRC, led by the People's Republic of Albania under Enver Hoxha, moved an annual resolution in the General Assembly to expel the "representatives of Chiang Kai-shek" (an implicit reference to the ROC) and permit the PRC to represent China at the UN.

Kung; another became the wife of Sun Yat-sen, founder and leader of the Chinese nationalist independence movement; and yet another became the world-famous wife of Chiang Kai-shek known colloquially as Madame Chiang.

Temporary Provisions against the Communist Rebellion

1 links

The Temporary Provisions Effective During the Period of National Mobilization for Suppression of the Communist Rebellion were provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of China effective from 1948 to 1991 and amended four times by the Central Government of China.

The official rationale for the provisions was the ongoing Chinese Civil War, but with the demise of the Kuomintang single-party system, the provisions were repealed.

The Temporary Provisions from then on were amended in accordance with the needs of the President of the Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek, or his son Chiang Ching Kuo.
