Restoration of PRC's lawful seat in UN a reminder to reject Cold War
China DailyThe logo of the United Nations is seen on the outside of the UN headquarters in New York, on Sept 15, 2013. I was a young boy in Shanghai in 1971 when China National Radio announced that the People's Republic of China had assumed its lawful seat at the United Nations after the General Assembly passed Resolution 2758 on Oct 25, recognizing the PRC as the only legitimate representative of China to the UN. Unlike some countries, China has always upheld the central role of the UN in the global governance system and championed multilateralism, which has greatly benefited China during its 40-odd years of reform and opening-up. The People's Republic restored its rightful seat in the UN coincided with the rapprochement between Beijing and Washington following a secret visit to Beijing by then US national security advisor Henry Kissinger. And at the China Town Hall hosted by the National Committee on US-China Relations on Tuesday, Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN GPS, warned that if the two countries didn't get their relations right, the 21st century will see devastating arms races, conflicts and proxy wars, things that marked the Cold War era.
