“A key difference between Taiwan now and when it lost its seat is that in practice it is also no longer claiming to represent territorial China. That's the big difference that's from the world in 1971 when the ROC [Republic of China] did claim it was going to be the legitimate government for all of China. It's hard to remember the world in that context - but that's also why there was very little sympathy for ROC at that time because it seemed like they were making implausibly ridiculous claims and excluding one billion people from the UN.”
