Wrathful Hurricane. Russia's Valerian Zorin started off in his high-pitched voice, demanding that Nationalist China be kicked out of the U.N. and the Reds immediately admitted, without "juridical or procedural complexities.'' This was aimed at the U.S. strategy to have Chinese representation be declared an "important question," which would require a two-thirds vote instead of a simple majority...
Ignoring Red China's intervention in the Korean war and Viet Nam, to say nothing about Red Chinese brutality in Tibet and on its Indian border, Zorin cried that the U.S. was responsible for "keeping China and the people of China from their rightful seat in the U.N.'' He vilified the Nationalists on Formosa as "political outcasts" and "people who represent nobody."

To prevent total deadlock and inaction, Stevenson reluctantly gave U.S. approval to the narrower, Soviet-favored proposal...
...designed to set a precedent for action against him. He sent delegates to the U.N. Security Council and the Organization of American States to denounce the U.S. intervention and demand that the U.S. forces be withdrawn. At the Security Council he won the approval of Russia's Valerian Zorin but only eloquent silence from Security Council members Ecuador and Chile. At the OAS, no other Latin American nation could bring itself to protest the toppling of the Trujillo empire, and Dr. José Antonio Bonilla Atiles, one of the Trujillo opposition, told the Security Council.
