China admitted to Interpol, taking the place of Taiwan
China this week became a member of the Paris-based International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).

But Peking laid down tough conditions under which Taiwan representatives could have remained only as nonvoting members of China's delegation. This was unacceptable to Taiwan.
