Countering China. Oddly enough, China's Chou, in his interview with New York Timesman James Reston, expressed a parallel concern (see THE PRESS). His government, he indicated, was worried about what they feel are Japanese aggressive designs for a Tokyo-Taipei-Seoul linkup. At one point during the interview, in fact, Reston told the Premier: "Nothing has surprised me quite as much since coming here as the vehemence of your feeling about Japan." Obviously, however, Peking's principal preoccupation is with its conflict with the Soviet Union...
...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...
...TAIPEI MIGHT HANG ON. To prevent Taipei's expulsion, the U.S. could resort to another parliamentary maneuver; it could make a procedural move calling for separate treatment of the Albanian resolution's two parts, splitting the section that requires the seating of Peking from the section that requires the expulsion of Taipei. The logic behind such a move is simple: a majority of the General Assembly wants to seat Peking, but does not necessarily want to see Taipei thrown...
...this stratagem, admission of Peking would presumably be carried by a simple majority. Then, if the U.S. had its way, expulsion of Taipei would be defined as an important matter requiring a two-thirds vote, which the advocates of Taipei's ouster might fail to muster...
Taking another tack, the U.S. could introduce a separate procedural resolution declaring that Taipei is a U.N. member in good standing-despite uncertainties about what it represents-and thus could not, under the U.N. charter, be ousted without a two-thirds vote. If either version were successful, Taipei would stay in the U.N.-and Peking probably would, as it has promised, refuse to take its newly won seat...
