Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative of any Chinese-governed country. Its Resolution 2758 ignored "representatives of Chiang Kai-shek's government."

Since 1972, the United States has diplomatically played along, espousing a "one China policy" that "Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China."
