Views on the future operation of the Register
China has always attached great importance to the United Nations. Register of Conventional Arms and actively participated in the work of all the Group of Governmental Experts established for the Register and made important contributions to the establishment and development of the Register. Since 1996, a particular Member State had provided data to the United Nations Register on its arms sale to Taiwan Province of China, which contradicted the spirit of the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly as well as the objectives and principles of the United Nations Register. China was impelled to suspend its submission of data to the Register. In 2006, the problem related to Taiwan in the Register was solved. Since 2007, China has resumed submitting data to the Register annually.
