Should be noted, for clarity, that this was intended to be 4/5 pro-US vs the 5th (USSR- then an ally, soon to not be obviously)
Then Mao beat Chiang Kai-shek and drove his loser ass from the country (to Taiwan)
Kai-shek was being groomed and setup to be America's puppet leader of China. Unfortunately for him and the US, the people's liberation army had other plans...
So the vote that was reserved for China now belonged to a fresh communist nation. How did America/the west want to "fix" this? "Create a new definition of China" effectively. This is why Taiwan was officially recognized as China for so long (1979! like 3 decades after communist victory). Like Taiwan was the "real China" and mainland China was illegally occupied by... other Chinese people.
The UN formally recognized the People's Republic of China as "real China" in 1971...
Cuz they were on the winning side of WW2. Security council veto power is held by China, US, UK, France, and Russia

Also nukes, I'd imagine.
If the veto power is going to exist we should be honest about what it means and it should be “every country with nukes”
The DPRK should be a permanent member of the security council
Same same
