Go to the following UN link, and click on Resolution 2758:
http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/26/ares26.htm. Here, you'll find the General Assembly's official "One-China" policy, established with the support of the United States. In essence, major powers of the world have agreed that they will only recognize one Chinese government, the People's Republic of China as legitimate. This is important because it means that the UN, U.S., and others will not recognize Taiwan as a separate, sovereign, country.

Search the internet for answers to the following questions:

1			Who is Chiang Kai-shek? Why is he important?
2			What are the implications of recognition from the UN? Did the People's Republic of China gain anything special?
3			Does your sympathy lie more with Republic of China (Taiwan) or the People's Republic of China? Why?
