Best Answer

No, Taiwan has not been recognized by the United Nations as an independent nation. It did once during China's communist revolution in the 1950s-1960s. However, in 1971, China or "People's Republic of China" gained entry to the United Nations. Thus, "Republic of China" or Taiwan was expelled as a member. Taiwan has been trying to get membership into the United Nations, but since China is insistent that Taiwan is part of China and China is a permanent security council member, they've been vetoing Taiwan's bid for readmission.
