How long could the US and its allies stall in recognizing the PRC government as the legitimate government of China and holder of China's seat on the UNSC? And what would be some of the global political effects?
"and its allies" ???
UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland: 1950
Norway: 1954
France: 1964
Canada, Italy: 1970
Kuwait, Turkey, Iran: 1971
after being seated at the UN, but before the end of 1972
Belgium, Mexico, Argentina, Netherlands, Greece, Japan, BRD=FRG, Australia and New Zealand

The fact that the US waited so long made her a laughingstock in World Politics, really.
Sorry, what's BRD=FRG?
