Background: The main question facing the International Olympic Committee executive board during its meeting in Nagoya, Japan will be who will be China's representative at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Both the People's Republic and Taiwan have been lobbying, strongly, to have the question solved - in their respective favour.

SYNOPSIS: The People's Republic of China's representative at the talks has urged an early settlement to the problem of who will represent China in the Olympic movement.

The main aim of the meeting is to reach a final solution whereby both China and Taiwan can both compete in the 1980 Winter and Summer Olympic Games. Taiwan has so far held out against Olympic committee suggestions at easing the problem. Lord Killanin, the president of the IOC tried to alleviate some of the fears of the Taiwanese delegation.

Informed sources in Japan say that the IOC executive committee is expected to push for the participation of Peking in next year's Olympics despite Taiwan's protest.
