UN General Assembly

109. The representation of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations has become an urgent necessity. It is futile to exclude a country with a population of more than 700 million which is a nuclear Power and exercises great influence on the course of events in South-East Asia and the world at large. We believe that seating the People's Republic of China in the United Nations will impose upon it an international obligation to co-operate with all countries under the aegis of the world Organization in a manner which will promote the cause of disarmament, end the nuclear race, and maintain international peace and security.
