...October 1967, Richard Nixon wrote in the quarterly magazine Foreign Affairs: "We simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations." Four years later, the United Nations this week launches a debate on admitting Mao Tse-tung's regime to that cumbersome, quarrelsome family, and Nixon's shift in U.S. policy ensures that it will become a member...
Only a few years ago, it might have been much less trouble to save the seat. If the U.S. had proposed dual representation of Peking and Taipei in the mid-1960s, say, it would almost certainly have won overwhelming U.N. approval. Of course, Mao Tse-tung and his lieutenants have long said that they would never join the U.N. while Chiang's Nationalists remained members, and they are men who mean what they say.

But last week, for the first time in 22 years, there was no lavish National Day banquet, no parade through Tienanmen Square, no ringing editorials, no pecking-order appearance by Chairman Mao and the Chinese leadership atop the massive Gate of Heavenly Peace. For the watching world, there was also no explanation-only occasional half-hearted denunciations by Radio Peking of what it mocked as "rumormongering by the capitalists and revisionists...
