He demanded swift adoption of the so-called Albanian resolution, which prescribes the seating of the Peking regime and immediate expulsion of the Nationalists. Taipei's embattled Foreign Minister Chow Shu-kai replied heatedly that if Peking has its way, "the era of collective aggression is upon us."
