However, in one sweep of the pen, Richard Nixon, the US President dumped Taiwan and had it replaced by China. This was accepted by the members of the
UN without question, because it was common sense to accept and recognize the voice of some 600 million people China represented.
Absolutely wrong.
The Permanent seat belonged to "China" the country. The question was.... did the PRC (People's Republic of China) or the ROC (Republic of China) deserve to sit in China's seat? They both claimed to represent China.
The "country" who has a Permanent seat has never changed since the founding of the UN.
For example, Russia's seat was originally held by the Soviet Union, then transferred to the Russian Federation.
By the same logic, the Republic of China (ROC) originally held China's seat, then it was transferred to the PRC (People's Republic of China).
The country holding the seat doesn't change. Only the political representative.
