It is no longer in the UN because china does not want it there. Taiwan was in the UN as the legitimate government of China as a result of Pressure by the USA. eventually the US found it was no longer in its interest to keep up this pretence. Taiwan never the less still has US backing.

How did the united states treat china and taiwan from 1949 to 1979?

From 1949 to 1979, the United States recognized the Republic of China (Taiwan) as the legitimate government of China and supported them diplomatically and militarily. The US did not recognize the People's Republic of China until 1979, after which it shifted its diplomatic recognition to the PRC and established official relations, while maintaining informal ties with Taiwan. This period was defined by the US policy of "One China," acknowledging Taiwan as part of China but not specifying how exactly that would be resolved.


Why roosevelt recognized the Soviet Union in 1933?

The Soviet Union had been in existence since 1917 and Stalin had been in control of it since 1924. By 1933, FDR thought that it was appropriate to recognize that that country had a functioning government. The same thing happened after Communist China had governed the mainland from 1949. Nixon recognized that it was a stable government even though the US preferred to deal with the government on Taiwan, which still claimed to be the legitimate government of all of China. In 1933 there was no other body that claimed to be the legitimate government of Russia, so it was not an issue.
