...Taipei is also becoming less rigid about the conditions under which it would remain in the U.N. The regime now says that it will stay in the U.N. in order to "fight the Communists" if Peking is voted in. There is also talk in Taipei of staying on even if the Communists actually come to New York to occupy a seat. What if Taipei were voted out of its seat on the Security Council, as is almost certain, and could hope for no more than a seat in the Assembly?

Disgusting Duet. It was Peking and not Taipei that exploded at Washington's announcement. The official New China News Agency thundered that the U.S. decision "peddles the preposterous proposition of two Chinas."

...TAIPEI MIGHT GET THROWN OUT. If the pro-Peking forces feel strong or judge that Taipei's support is in disarray, Albania might call for "priority consideration" of its resolution, which could bring it to a vote in late September or early October. The Albanian resolution provides for the seating of Peking both in the General Assembly and in the Security Council, as well as the outright expulsion of Taipei...
