Ironically, back in 1971 when the R.O.C. was still recognized as the legitimate government of China and the Chinese Communists were unable to gain entry to the UN try as they might, "two seats with parallel representation" was the expedient by which the international community once hoped the issue of representation for China might be resolved.
諷刺的是，早在一九七一年，中華民國還是中國的合法政府、而中共想盡辦法卻進不得聯合國大門時，「兩個席位，平行代表」曾經是國際間希望用來解決中國代表權問題的權宜之計。
