After the takeover of mainland China, the US supported the ousted Kuomintang, and it was the Republic of China (based in Taipei) that represented China in the UN (due to the influence of the US and the West).

The USSR supported the People's Republic of China. They boycotted the UN during 1950 in protest at Mao's exclusion, which allowed the US to gain the backing of the UN in the Korean War (the USSR could have vetoed this had it been in the session).

Brinksmanship and sabre rattling continued from the mainland across the strait. In response, the US pledged military support for Taiwan should she be invaded. Following the Sino-Chinese split in the late 1950s, the US began developing diplomatic relations with the People's Republic. But it was not until 1976 that the PRC replaced Taiwan as the official representative of China in the UN.

How do differing ideologies exacerbate existing tensions between the two superpowers?

Differing ideologies, such as capitalism in the United States and communism in China, create fundamental disagreements on governance, human rights, and economic systems, exacerbating tensions between the two superpowers. These ideological divides often lead to conflicting interests in international relations, trade, and military strategy, fueling distrust and competition. Additionally, each superpower seeks to promote its own model globally, which can provoke resistance and backlash, further intensifying rivalries. Ultimately, these ideological differences complicate diplomatic efforts and contribute to an increasingly polarized global landscape.


What is the purpose of détente?

A détente basically meant a cooling of tensions between the two superpowers, US and USSR, during the Cold War period. It served as a short period of time to stabilize and militarize if necessary the army. A détente sometimes showed some acts of friendly relations between the two nations, direct or indirect did not matter. But usually the superpowers used this time to plan ahead for the future, because other times they would be in crises. For example the Cuban Missile Crisis. In other words: the nations had some fresh air before going in the ring of cold staring to each other.
