The Chinese Communist party had won the Chinese Civil War in 1949,and were now the government on mainland China.
The leaders of the previous Nationalist regimes had ran away to the Chinese island of Taiwan,and maintained a Nationalist regime there.It was the Nationalist regime that had the ambassador to the UN and sat at the Security Council
The soviet union  wanted the Nationalist ambassador kicked out,to be replaced by one from Communist China,which would then have the power of veto.
