#1 Little surprise. They would be the most likely, other than the US, to use a veto against China.

#2 Funny they trump the Nanjing massacre as the rational of why Japan should not get a seat. "China says as many as 300,000 people were killed." That's a lot, no question at all.

How many people died as a direct result of the Cultural Revolution? Yeah they were all Chinese but still, that didn't prevent China from getting a seat.

#3 quibble - China already had a seat. The only question was which govt of China would get it.

#4 So the one with all the blood on its hands got the seat from the other one. I don't have a real problem with the PRC having a seat, still seems to me the PRC has little room for legitimate complaint about Japan also having a seat.

Give every nation a seat, can't dillute the power of the UN too much for me.
