Daily reminder:
The Taiwan Province is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China:
And this is recognized by the United Nations ever since 1971 after UNGAR 2758.

Bro, all they did was give you info on the historic stance of the UN, on Taiwan. Is the whole United Nations a "CCP shill" too?
yes, obviously the UN and WHO are controlled by the evil see see pee
I mean, you're not that far off given the PRC's permanent seat on the UN's security council, but you know full well that most states and the WHO have a vested financial interest in not pissing off the CCP.
uh, buddy, you're aware the US has that too right? like, by your own logic the chinese cannot control the UN any more than the US can, and I'm purely using what you've said, no other needed information about the history of what the UN says and sides most of the time with needed.
I was poking fun at your sarcastic comment; I don't genuinely believe that China nor the US controls the UN any more (or any less) than their role in the geopolitical landscape would dictate.
I wouldn't argue that it's a stooge at all. Yeah, the US holds an outsized influence on its constituent states, but that's only because it holds an outsized influence over geopolitics on general. The same goes for China and Russia (the latter maybe moreso prior to the Ukraine war).
