Get Taiwan into United Nations (Expired)Submitted by

Taiwan is a democratic, peace-loving country with 23 millions of people (ranked 49 in the world) but without UN representation. Taiwan has applied for the membership many times, but was repeatedly denied.
The incentive here is to seek workable solutions to this dilemma. The top three solutions will be selected and announced on or about September 5 every year just before the opening of the UN General Assembly. The selection is to be administered jointly by the World Taiwanese Association and the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Taiwan government. The cash incentive will be distributed to the top three winners equally and new cash incentive is to be raised every year every year until Taiwan becomes a member of the UN.  Add

In an unprecedented move, and with unanimous consent, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed, on June 26, 2007, the House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 136 led by Rep. Steve Chabot, calling for the lifting of all restrictions imposed on the visits by the Taiwanese highest-level government officials to the U.S, including the President. The HCR 136 was concurred by the Congress on July 30, 2007 and passed to the US Senate on July 31, 2007. ( to see HCR136, go to http://thomas.loc.gov; , click "bill number" radio button and enter HCR136)
Before 1986, Taiwan was a politically backward, authoritarian state living under the cloud of martial law and serious human rights abuses. In the matter of a few short decades, it made a remarkable transition to a full-fledged democracy with a vibrant economy and a vigorous multi-party political system with its president directly elected by the people. In spite of its praise for democracy in Taiwan, the United States Government continues to adhere to guidelines from the 1970s that bar the President, Vice President, Premier, Foreign Minister, and Defense Minister of Taiwan from coming to Washington, DC. HCR 136, passed by the House of Representatives, is a resolution to lift these restrictions on visits to the United States by high-level elected and appointed officials of Taiwan, including the democratically-elected President of Taiwan. We are happy that the US Congress is finally recognizing the fast progress of democracy in Taiwan. We need to get the US Government to wake up from the outdated, inadequate policies made during the 1970s and 1980s. Taiwan is really different now.
Taiwan originally for United Nations Council country, because but some country's from returns is compelled the withdrawal.Taiwan originally together organizes the country for the United Nations, because but some country's from returns is compelled.
Now, Taiwan from will return the United Nations by the national name, will not obtain many great nation supports, we will only be able from to return by own strength.Although does not have the great nation support, but has the Taiwan 23,000,000 people's supports, also has in the overseas many fellow countryman living abroad's support, we will succeed enter the United Nations, because, our Taiwan also will be world one.Refuels, the United Nations will have a seat will be Taiwan, will refuel Taiwan!
我愛台灣，我梃台灣，我支持台灣。台灣原為聯合國理事會國，但因某國的從返而被迫退出。台灣原為聯合國共同創辦國，但因某國的從返而被迫退出。現在，台灣將以國家名義從返聯合國，獲得不到許多大國的支持，我們只能以自己的力量從返。雖沒有大國的支持，但擁有台灣兩千三百萬人民的支持，也有在國外許多僑胞的支持，我們將成功進入聯合國，因為，我們台灣也是世界的一員。加油，聯合國將有一席位子是台灣的，加油台灣！
China and Japan had a war back in late 1890s. China lost it and the Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed in which Taiwan was ceded to Japan. From 1895 to 1947, Taiwan was ruled by Japan. Now, Japan lost in World War II after two atomic bombs were dropped. Genealissimo McArthur accepted Japan's surrender and ordered the soldiers of Genealissimo Chiang Kai-Shek to occupy Taiwan. San Fransisco Peace Treaty (http://www.taiwandocuments.org/sanfrancisco01.htm) was signed in 1951 in which Japan gave up Taiwan, but "to whom" was not specified. In 1949, PRC (People's Republic of China) was born in China, expelling ROC (Republic of China for which Chiang Kai-Shek was the leader) to soverignty-unspecified Taiwan. Until 1972, ROC was a permanent member of the Security Council in the UN. But then the UN General Resolution 2758 (http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1508687) voted-in PRC to replace ROC; now PRC is a permanent member of the Security Council with the veto power. The UN appears to view PRC and ROC as exclusive, but the 23 million people of Taiwan is without representation in the UN. PRC is telling the world that Taiwan is a province in its territory. "How does the world view this claim" is an interesting question; the view by government and its people may not be always identical. But let's achieve one small step at a time -- How can the discussion of the Taiwan membership get into the agenda of the UN assembly?

Basically, China, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, "claims" Taiwan is its territory and aims 1000s of missiles at Taiwan to take over by force if necessary. The US, the most powerful democratic country in the world, does not support Taiwan's application of the UN membership either. Taiwan has diplomatic relation with only a handful of small countries.
