CHINA DEMANDS SEAT
IN SECURITY COUNCIL

3y ROBERT FRIEDMAN LAKE SUCCESS

The voice of the Chinese people was heard this week for the first time
in the United Nations, 4s ambassador Wu Hsui-Chuan accused the U.S. gov-
ernment of ‘‘barbarous and illegal acts of aggression’’ against Taiwan (For-
mosa). He denounced also continued seating in the UN of the ‘‘so-called
‘delegate’ of the Kuomintang reactionary remnant clique,’’ which he attribut-
ed to the ‘‘manipulation’”’ and ‘‘obstruction’’ by the U.S. government, and

~ called on the UN to expel the Kuomintang spokesman and ‘‘admit the law-
ful delegates of People’s China.”’

The UN, he declared, ‘‘cannot make lawful decisions on any major
problems, particularly those which concern Asia,’’ as long as it persists in
denying a seat to a permanent member of the security council, representing
475 million people of China.

The history-making address was delivered in Chinese. Speaking in
firm, clear tones and with an emphasis that was often passionate as he in-
dicted the Truman government for aggression and intervention in China’s
civil war, ambassador Wu opened his two-hour address with the words:

‘‘On the instructions of the Central People’s government of the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China, I am here, in the name of the 475 million people of
China, to accuse the U.S. government of the unlawful and criminal act of
cruel aggression against the territory of China—Taiwan.”’

The Chinese government, he said, has ‘‘no reason to recognize any de-
cision or resolution of the UN, made in the aapased absence of its represen-
tatives.’’

Reviewing the U.S. government seizure of Taiwan, Wu charged that
this aggression was ‘‘planned long before the U.S. decided to embark upon
the war in Korea.’’ He asserted that ‘‘long before Columbus discovered Am-
erica, and long before the U.S. acquired its own independence, Taiwan was
an inseparable part of China.’’ He quoted the U.S. state department’s own
white paper on China in acknowledgement of that sovereignty.

He accused President Truman of ‘‘instigating the puppet government

of Syngman Rhee in South Korea to start civil war in Korea,’’ and asserted
that U.S, intervention in that war is being used as the excuse

to continue intervention in China.
Wu warned that any UN decision for “stealing China’s
legitimate territory,’ whether for the U.S. té “administer
@ China's real voice is heard for Qnenly” or by “trusteeship” or “neutralization” of Taiwan,
the first time as General Wu will in “no way shake the resolve of the Chinese people to
Hsiu-chuan (left) rises to indict liberate Taiwan, nor will it prevent action by the Chinese

the US. people ti liberate Taiwan.”
He counselled the members of the UN:

PIC nen men ee eo “T wish to call the attention of all those countries which
TT al are prepared to follow the U.S. on this question: Do not be
taken in by the U.S.: Do not pull chestnuts out of the fire

for the U.S.—because if you support U.S. aggression you
' raw must bear the consequences of your actions. The status of
. Mm 7 Taiwan was determined long ago. The question of the status

of Taiwan simply does not exist. However, one question
does exist regarding Taiwan, that is the question of armed
aggression by the U.S. government. . .”
