最近有人指出,有關聯合國「中國代表權」阿爾巴尼亞案(23國提案)表決前,中國總理周恩來擔心阿爾巴尼亞案(亦即後來通過的UN2758號決議)未論及台灣地位,周恩來曾表示:若阿爾巴尼亞案通過,「台灣的地位仍未有定論」。兹將當時周恩來總理(PM Chou)與季辛吉博士(Dr. Kissinger)會談部分內容(英文)提供如下。
時間:1971年10月21日 下午4點42分~7點17分
地點:北京 Great Hall of People
PM Chou: You mean your draft resolution or the Albanian Resolution?
Dr. Kissinger: Even under our resolution.
PM Chou: It's very easy to deal with the U. S. draft resolution. We can just refuse to go. That's very simple. I can go back and go to bed. The question is that in the other resolution it calls for the restoration of all lawful rights of China in the United Nations, including its seat in the UN.
In that resolution it is not possible to put in a clause concerning the status of Taiwan, and if it is passed, the status of Taiwan is not yet decided.
Dr. Kissinger: In the Albanian Resolution?
PM Chou: There is such a danger. Of course, countries who support the Albanian Resolution haven't thought of this side of the question. But under this condition another shadow has appeared in the UN, and that might meet us on this.
Dr. Kissinger: Which shadow?
PM Chou: The activities I told you about conducted by Japan.
Dr. Kissinger: Oh I see.
