Controversy
According to some viewpoints, Resolution 2758 solved the case of "China's representation" in the United Nations—but it left the effect of Taiwan's relation unresolved in a practical sense. The ROC government maintains to score de facto leadership over Taiwan and other islands. While the PRC claims sovereignty over all of "China" as well as claims that Taiwan is element of China, it does not lesson actual command over Taiwan, though it manages to claim that it holds such sovereignty. Former president Ma Ying-jeou said during his term, "The Republic of China is a sovereign country, and mainland China is element of our territory according to the Constitution. Therefore, our relations with the mainland are not international relations. this is the a special relationship".
On the other hand, although policy has changed, and the ROC Government now focuses on representing the interests of the island of Taiwan formally via its constitution, the ROC still claims to be the state of China, and thus its juridical claim to the adjustment to govern the whole of China still holds. most importantly, although Taiwan has been governed by the ROC as a de facto separate country, some argue that de jure Taiwan was not transferred to China in the post-WWII San Francisco Peace Treaty, which left its disposition open. The pursuit of independence from "China" the ROC is a controversial issue in Taiwanese politics.
The ROC framed the issue as one involving "the expulsion of a member". The United Kingdom and the USSR took a different view, arguing that only one Chinese state was a item and so the question was merely one of which Chinese delegation's credentials to accept and that any other Chinese state would draw to apply for membership in accordance with the Charter.
The Resolution has been criticized as illegal by the Republic of China government, since expulsion of a item requires the recommendation of the Security Council and can only occur if a nation "has persistently violated the Principles contained in the submission Charter," according to Article 6.
Attempts were made to receive a review of Resolution 2758 onto the agenda with a proposal in 1998 noting that "as to its value to the United Nations, the Government has made it clear that it no longer claims to constitute all of China, but that it seeks representation only for its 21.8 million people". Actions by the ROC government under its "Taiwan-independence" leaning president, Chen Shui-bian, to apply for membership under the name "Taiwan" highlighted this intention. However, the ROC supervision under Ma Ying-jeou dropped attempts to become a UN member state.
