Proponents of Taiwan independence claim that if the government in Taiwan were formally to renounce its claim to be also the government of mainland China and outer Mongolia, and rename itself the Republic of Taiwan, this new state could then be admitted to the UN. They assert that if Taiwan were to take this step, the international community would be placed in a difficult position, caught between the PRC's internationally recognised claim that Taiwan is a province of China and the right of the people of Taiwan to self-determination. The resolutions proposing ROC representation since 1991 make it clear that it no longer seeks to represent all of China, but only the 23 million people of Taiwan. In the bids to join the UN under President Lee Teng-hui, the ROC called itself the "Republic of China on Taiwan." Under Chen Shui-bian, the designation has been "Republic of China (Taiwan)," and there are calls to enter as just "Taiwan." On November 15, 2004, Chen declared he would push to get the ROC included in the United Nations under the name Taiwan. He was quoted saying that "Taiwan is a sovereign state, should join the United Nations in the name of Taiwan". ...more on Wikipedia about "China and the United Nations"
