SUPPLEMENT TO PEOPLE'S CHINA
THE SPEECHES ?F CHINA'S- REPRESENTATIVE'
-AT THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL
We reproduce here the full texts of the two speeches delivered by Wu Hsiu-chuan,
representative of the People's Republic of China, at the Security Council of the United
Nations on Nov. 28 and Nov. 30 respectively. In his first speech, Representative Wu
charged the United States with armed aggression against Taiwan, the territory of China,
and introduced the following proposals:
-1. That the U.N. Security Council openly condemn, and take concrete steps to apply severe
sanctions against the U.S. Government, for its criminal acts of armed aggression against the
territory of China, Taiwan, and armed intervention in Korea;
2. That the U.N. Security Council immediately adopt effective measures to bring about the
complete withdrawal by the U.S. Government of its forces of armed aggression from Taiwan in
order that peace and security in the Pacific and in Asia may be ensured;
3. That the U.N. Security Council immediztely adopt effective measures to bring about
the withdrawal from Korea of the armed forces of the U.S. and all other countries and to leave
the -people of North and South Korea to settle the domestic affairs of Korea themselves, so
that A peaceful solution of the. Korean question may be achieved:
In the second speech, Representative Wu denounced U.S. representative Austin for
evading a reply to China's just accusation and attempting to side-track the-issue with
the so-called "complaint of aggression against the Republic of Korea."
The
First Speech
`complaint against armed aggression on Taiwan,'
may raise, at the same time, the accusation
against armed intervention in Korea by the
United States Government."
But Item B on the Agenda of the Security
Council is not in conformity with the wording
of the cable of Chou En-lai, Foreign Minister
of the Central People's Government. There is
not the slightest resemblance between these
two, and for this reason the representative of
the Central People's Government of -the
People's Republic of China will of course not
participate in the discussion of Item B of the
Agenda, the so-called "complaint of aggression
against the Republic of Korea." Now I shall
continue with the substance of my speech.
This charge brought by the Central People's
Government. of the People's -Republic of China.
of aggression against Taiwan by the United
States Government, should have been lodged by
the delegate to the Security Council "of the Peo-
ple's Republic of China as a permanent mem-
ber of the Security Council. But owing to
the manipulation and obstruction. by the United
States Government, the lawful delegates of the
People's Republic of China have been, and are
still being, excluded from the United Nations.
Therefore, I must first of 9.11 protest to the
United Nations for allowing even to this day
the so-called "delegate" of the Chinese Kuomin-

Mr. President, Members of the Security
Council:
On the instructions of the Central People's
Government of the People's Republic of China,

of China, to accuse the United States Govern-
ment of the. unlawful and criminal act of armed
aggression against the territory of China, Taiwan

the original text of the telegraphic reply dated
November 11 to Secretary-General Lie from
Foreign Minister of the Central People's Gov-
ernment of China Chou En-lai. At the end of
that cable it is stated: -

Government, and in view of the fact that the

be representing the Chinese people. Members
of the Security Council, this is a state of affairs
that the Chinese people cannot possibly tolerate.
Chairman Mao Tse-tung of the Central
People's Government of the People's Republic of
China, on the occasion of the establishment of
the government on October 1, 1949, solemnly
declared to the whole world that the Central
People's Government of the People's Republic
of China is the sole legal government to repre-
sent all the people of China. The tremendous
achievements of the People's Republic of China
during? the past year in military, economic,
political and cultural construction have eloquent-
ly proved to the world that the Central Peopl'e's
Government of the People's Republic of China
is the sole legal government representing the
Chinese people. The Kuomintang reactionary
remnant clique, which opposes the Central
People's Government of the People's Republic
of China, has long ceased to exist on the main-
land of China. In the more than four years of
war since the Chiang Kai-shek reactionary
clique launched the full-scale civil war in July,
1946, with the support of the United States
Government, the 'Chinese People's Liberation
Army has annihilated Chiang Kai-shek's reac-
tionary armies totalling 8,070,000 men and liber-
ated all the territories of China except for Tibet
and Taiwan. During the past year, the Central
People's Government of the People's Republic
of China has united the whole people in various
walks of life, has established local governnlents
of all levels throughout the country and has
effectively controlled the mainland of China.
The Central People's Government, as a govern-
ment of all China, is unprecedented In Chinese
history in that it is unified, stable and supported
by the people. Even the enemy of the Chinese
people cannot but admit this fact.
Furthermore, the Kuomintang reactionary
government has long since collapsed and ceased
to exist.' Even its remnant elements have also
been driven out of the mainlaind of China by
the Chinese people, At present, it is only owing
to the armed protection of the United States that
they are maintaining their precarious existence
in Taiwan. But they have long been renounced
by the Chinese people and have no longer any
grounds, de jure or de facto, to represent the
Chinese people. The so-called "delegates" to
the United Nations of the Kuomintang reaction-
ary remnant clique are nothing but the person-
,31 tools of a handful of fugitive elements that
will soon be entirely eliminated. They have no
qualifications whatsoever to represent the Chin-
ese people.
Since November 15, 1949, Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai of the People's Republic of
China has repeatedly demanded that the
United Nations expel the so-called "delegates"
of the Chinese Kuomintang reactionary remnant
clique from all the organs- and meetings of the
United Nations and admit the delegates
of the Central People's Government of the
People's Republic of China. But until now, in
spite of the vigorous support of the U.S.S.R. and
other countries for the seating of the delegates
of the People's Republic of China in the United
Nations and the affirmative votes of 16 member
states of the United Nations, namely, the
U.S.S.R., Poland, Czechoslovakia, India, Burma,
Israel, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Byelo-Russia, the
Ukraine, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United
Kingdom, Sweden, Yugoslavia and Norway-yet,
owing to the manipulation and obstruction of
the United States Government, the United
Nations still refuses to admit our lawful dele-
gates. As a result, the so-called "delegates" of
the Chinese Kuomintang reactionary remnant
clique are still sitting on the Security Council
and in other,organs of the United Nations.
Against this, we cannot but lodge a grave pro-
test.
Members of the Security Council: I would
like to remind you that so long as the United
Nations persists in denying admittance to a
permanent member of the Security Council who
represents 475 million people, it cannot make
lawful decisions on any major issues or solve
any major problems, particularly those which
concern Asia. Indeed, without the participation
of the lawful delegates of the People's Republic
of China, representing 475 million people, the
United Nations cannot, in practice, be worthy of
its name. -Without the participation of the
lawful delegates of the People's Republic of
China, the Chinese people have no reason to
?ecognize any resolutions or decisions of the
United Nations.
In the name of the Central People's Govern-
ment of the People's Republic of China, I once
more demand that the United Nations expel the
so-called "delegates" of the Kuomintang reac-?
tionary remnant clique and admit the lawful
delegates of the People's Republic of China.
Members of the Security Council will recall
that Foreign Minister Chou En-lai, on August
24, lodged with the United Nations Security
Council a charge that the United States Gov-
ernment had committed armed aggression
against China's territory Taiwan. But the
United States Government used every means to
obstruct the discussion by the Security Council
of this just accusation. It was only owing to
the righteous stand of the Soviet delegate who
was president of the Security Council during
August and to the support-of other countries
that the charge by the People's Republic of
China against United States armed aggression
in Taiwan has now been placed on the agenda
of the Security Council, altlhough,'because of the
Approved For Release 2010/09/21: CIA-RDP82-00457R007100010007-9
 opposition of the United States, it was given
its present imperfect form as the "complaint of
armed aggression against Taiwan (Formosa):"
After instigating the puppet government of
Syngman Rhee in South Korea to start civil
war in Korea, President Truman of the United
States made a statement on June 27, this year,
declaring that the United States Government
had decided to prevent by force the liberation
of Taiwan by the Central People's Government
of the People's Republic of China. At the same
time, United States armed forces, on the orders
of President Truman, began the full-scale, open
invasion of Taiwan to carry out the policy of
the United. States Government of preventing by
force the 'liberation of Taiwan by the Chinese
People's Liberation Army.
The Central People's Government of the
People's Republic of China, in a statement issued
on June.28, 1950, pointed out, that the June 27
statement by President Truman of the United
States together with the actions of the United
States armed forces constituted armed aggres-
sion on Chinese territory and a gross violation
of the United Nations Charter. The Chinese
people cannot tolerate such barbaric, illegal and
criminal acts of aggression by the United States
" Government.
Members of the Security Council: The case
for the charge filed by the Central People's
Government of the People's Republic of China
against the United States Government is irre-
futable.
People of common sense know that Taiwan
-is an, inseparable part of the territory of China.
Long before Christopher Columbus discovered
America, the Chinese people were already in
Taiwan. Long before the United States achieved
its independence, Taiwan had already become an
inseparable part of the territory of China. Pre-
cisely because of this irrevocable historical fact
that Taiwan is China's territory, civilised na-
tions of the world have never conceded that the
occupation of Taiwan by Imperialist Japan dur-
ing the .50-year period from 1895 to 1945 was
justifiable. Moreover, the people of Taiwan have
always opposed the rule of Japanese imperialism.

Precisely because Taiwan is an inseparable
part of China, the Cairo Declaration, jointly

of China, the United States of America and the
United Kingdom, explicitly stipulated that "it

that all territories Japan has stolen from. the
Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa and the
Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of
China."
Taiwan is an integral part of China. This
is not only an unshakable historical- fact, but
.also one of the main aims for which the Chinese
people unitedly fought against imperialist Japan.
This aim was reflected in the above-mentioned
Cairo Declaration. Moreover, the Cairo Declara-
tion is a solemn international commitment which
the United States Government has pledged itself
to observe. As one of the principal provisions
concerning the unconditional surrender of Japan,
this solemn international commitment was again
laid down in the Potsdam Declaration which was
jointly signed on July 26, 1945, by China, the
United States and Great Britain, and which was
subsequently adhered to by the Soviet Union.
Section 8 of the Potsdam Declaration states:
"The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall
be carried out and Japanese sovereignty shall
be limited to the Islands of Horishu, Hokkaido,
Kyushu, Shikoku and such minor islands as we
determine."
On September 2, 1945, Japan signed the in-

u e
s an act of open,

United States Government.
There is not the slightest justification for
the United States Government's invasion and
occupation of Taiwan. Yet the United States
Government had somehow to find a "justifica-
tion" for the, aggression. Thus we have the story
that "the status of Taiwan is not yet deter-
mined," and that, therefore, the armed occupa-
tion of Taiwan by the United States cannot be,
regarded as invasion and occupation of Chinese
territory,, by the United States. Is not this a
"justification"? Did not President Truman de-
clare at the time of issuing the order for armed
aggression against Taiwan that "the determina-
tion of the future status of Formosa must await,
the restoration of security in the Pacific,
a peace settlement with Japan, or consideration-
by the United Nations"?
Let us. first deal with the question of the
status , of Taiwan and the peace treaty with
Japan. Does it hold water to say that, since
the status of Taiwan is not yet determined, the
invasion of Taiwan by United States armed
forces constitutes no aggression against China?
No, it does not. Here we have, in the first place,
the Truman of January 5, 1950, contradicting
the Truman of June 27, 1050. On January 5,
this year, Truman stated: "The United States
and the other allied powers have accepted the
exercise of Chinese authority over the island."
Surely, at that time, Mr. Truman did not con-
sider that the peace treaty with Japan had
already been signed! Then; we have President
Roosevelt contradicting Truman. On December
1, 1943, President Roosevelt solemnly declared in
the Cairo Declaration that "all the territories
Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as
3janchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores, shall
be restored to the Republic of China." Surely,
present Charter, taken or authorised as a result
of that war by the governments having respon-
sibility for such action." Therefore, the United
Nations has absolutely no right to alter the
status of Taiwan, the less so as the question
of the status of Taiwan does not exist. Presi- .,
dent Truman of the United States declared that
the so-called question of the status of Taiwan
must await consideration by the. United Nations.
After the People's Republic of China had charged
the United States with armed aggression against
Taiwan before the United Nations, the United
States Government indicated that it would wel-
come consideration and investigation by the
United Nations in regard to the question of Tai-
wan. The United States representative at the
Fifth Session of the United Nations General
Assembly introduced the so-called "question of
Formosa" and made use of its voting machine
in the General Assembly to put..this matter on
the agenda. All these moves of the United
States Government aim at stealing the name
of the United Nations to legalise its illegal acts
of armed aggression against Taiwan and to con-
solidate its actual occupation of Taiwan. My
government has protested in strong terms
to . the United Nations General Assembly;
resolutely opposing the inclusion of the
so-called "question of,. Formosa" concerning
the status of Taiwan on the agenda of the Gen-
eral Assembly; whatever decision the United
Nations General Assembly may take on the so-
called question of the status of Taiwan-whether
it be turning over the island to the United States
to administer openly under the ' disguise of
"trusteeship" or "neutralisation," or whether it
be procrastinating by the way of "investigation,"
thereby maintaining the present state of actual
