Welcome to UN for Taiwan
Taiwan is an independent and sovereign nation that happens to be one of the worlds most vibrant democracies. The people of Taiwan enjoy full human rights, civil liberties, and press freedom and live in a modern society just like the United State and many first world nations. Yet Taiwan is not allowed inside the United Nations due to China's bullying. China insists that Taiwan must be a part of China because ancestrally, many Taiwanese come from China. This would be like Britian demanding the annexation of the United States because many Americans and the descendants of the British. Although the current government of China has never owned or governed a single piece of Taiwan, and historically has never even governered most of Taiwan, the government insists All of Taiwan belongs to them.
If the United Nations is supposed to stand for universal human rights, it should allow Taiwan membership. Taiwan is one of the bigger democracies in the world, and enjoys freedom unmatched by most of the world, yet the 23 million inhabitants of Taiwan are shunned for political convenience.
