However, after the KMT lost China's civil war in 1949 and retreated to Taiwan, a struggle for the right to represent China in the UN broke out. Taiwan sought to keep its original seat, but in 1971 the General Assembly passed Resolution 2758, allowing China to take its place.
只是 1949 年內戰失利，國民政府迫遷台灣後，「中國代表權」之爭逐漸浮現，台灣雖力圖保住席位，但聯大仍在 1971 年通過「排我納匪」的 2758 號決議案，以中共取代我國。
