Answer:

The main reason is a dispute on whether or not Taiwan is a sovereign nation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only a sovereign nation can join the UN and China claims Taiwan is part of its territory and denies that Taiwan is a sovereign state. However, Taiwan is still vying for full membership.
