Reply to comment by Federal_Bedroom_5743 in Museum shows off Taiwan flag which went to the moon on Apollo 11 by Pure_Candidate_3831

Taiwan, as the Republic of China, was a founding member of the UN in 1945. Like everything else between Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China, things got complicated over the ensuring years.

Edit to add: the US didn’t have formal relations with PRC in 1969. Nixon reestablished formal relations in 1972.

So it was the flag of China, not Taiwan. Which back then was a one party dictatorship ruled by the Chiang family.
