If you want to get into the details. The United Nations does not recognize Taiwan entirely because it is in the interest of China, China's strategic funding of the United Nations, and their institutional power they have as a security council member with Veto power. No other country has an interest in China claiming Taiwan isn't a country. Which it is by all means, they have their own government, land, culture, etc. They are not a part of China, it is just used a source of legitimacy for the commonly threatened and strategic takeover the CCP talks about. So the UN does not recognize Taiwan because of China. It is naive to say that China does not influence these international organizations for political gain. In fact anyone who studies international politics academically would acknowledge that every country who participates in these international organization uses them to gain political influence. I would argue that they exist primarily for political influence, instead of their intended goal; I mean the UN did leave a country right when a genocide started so they didn't have to deal pay to deal with it, among countless examples of it being used for international legitimacy at any cost.
