Özet:

The history of 1971 indicated the developments in which China would be represented in the United Nations, and 1949 was the beginning of this representative issue. The Turkish sources of the process were focused on the “Chinese State”, the “Formoza issue” and the “Chinese international law”. Instead of a distinctive debate, after Sun Yat-Sen, two basic comments on the system in China were about the expectation of regaining the peace that was broken due to the Civil War (1926-1949) between the nationalist China and the Communist China (Chan Kay-Shek, Mao forces). The US-Soviet Russia competition and its reflections on China were also concerned. The proposals to represent China and Red China instead of Nationalist China in the United Nations were rejected until 1970. Since the 1970s, the number of countries recognizing the continent China has increased, while the number of countries relating to Formoza has decreased. But the biggest change was that China decided to support the US’ membership. On the other hand, the formula of America’s “two China” or “one China, one Formoza” seemed unapplicable due to the objections of Beijing and Taipei. According to the Turkish political circles and the press, as the continent exists as a reality in international politics due to China’s demography and its power, and according to the principle of universality of the United Nations, it should not be outside the UN agency. During Nihat Erim's prime minister, on August 5, 1971, Turkey recognized the People's Republic of China, and then its relations with the Nationalist Chinese Government in Formoza were broken. On October 25, 1971, the lawful representative of the People's Republic of China was agreed to be admitted to the United Nations, and the representative of Chen Kay-Shek in the United Nations was terminated.
