Until the 1970s, most Western countries in the Western Bloc recognized the ROC while the Eastern Bloc and Third World countries generally recognized the PRC. This gradually shifted and today only 13 UN member states recognize the ROC while the PRC is recognized by the United Nations, 179 UN member states and the State of Palestine as well as Cook Islands and Niue.
