UN General Assembly
1967

19. With regard to the question of admission of the People’s Republic of China to the United Nations, apart from the fact that my delegation has no reason to assume that the authorities in Peking really want to sit with us here and discuss the problems of international peace and security and the peaceful and harmonious development of nations, we have unequivocally stated our opposition to the theory of two Chinas, and therefore we cannot agree to have two representatives of one and the same people seated in the United Nations. Only the Chinese authorities which have proved their devotion to the principles of the Charter have the right to represent China in the Organization. We regret nevertheless that not all the Chinese people are able to have their voice heard in the United Nations.
