On this Day in Chinese History; 19 September

This day, 19 September, in 1950, China’s ascent to the United Nations was denied, after which the USSR’s representative stated, “It is high time to put an end to the unjust attitude adopted by the United Nations towards the great Chinese people. … The Chinese nation, 475 million strong, must have its lawful representatives in the United Nations, and for such representation it has every legal justification”.
