Trump admin vows to combat Chinese manipulation of global body
China is working to assume control of multiple key United Nations agencies in order to subvert U.S. influence and advance its anti-democratic agenda, current and former senior Trump administration officials told the Washington Free Beacon.
China currently holds 4 of the top 15 leading positions within the organization, including a seat on the powerful Security Council. The country’s sway was on full display this year when it successfully pressured the World Health Organization (WHO) to hide information about the coronavirus pandemic.
The Communist Party is also using its influence at the U.N. to thwart investigations into its human rights record and other state-backed atrocities, including its coronavirus cover-up. China has blocked dissidents from petitioning the U.N. Human Rights Council and has even threatened retaliation against diplomats seeking an investigation of these abuses.
"China is constantly working behind the scenes to gain more influence globally," Nikki Haley, the administration’s former ambassador to the U.N., told the Free Beacon. "That's especially true at the U.N., whether it's distracting from their own human rights abuses, manipulating to gain control of U.N. agencies, or bullying smaller countries to vote their way. For them perception is everything, and it's why we can never stop being loud, calling them out, and bringing attention to their behavior."
China’s ambition extends far beyond the WHO, Trump administration officials say. The White House is placing a greater emphasis on combating China’s manipulation of the U.N., which could entail withholding further funding to the body and sanctions on top Community Party figures. These efforts are likely to receive bipartisan backing in Congress, as both Republicans and Democrats seek to hold China accountable in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Dump the UN!
They just want to get hold of that prime river front property given to the One Worlders by the Rockefellers./s
Dump the UN!
China is azzhole.
Good reason to cut off funding for the UN. Let China pay for it. Move the UN headquarters to Wuhan, China
The UN headquarters will now fill with Chinese communist spy bastards scheming away and happy in their NYC digs.
Let’s form a small group of nations we are friendly with and steer clear of the communists and their many allies.
Aren’t most of the nations in the UN Muslim?? I have heard all my life that the general assembly at the UN is heavily anti-American - and I believe it.
Yes!
Thanks Nixon, the original “go along to get along” Republican...
Let Them have it and I suggest move the whole damn thing out of NY/USA.
While I've long agreed with that thinking, as long as there is a Security Council, we should maintain our seat at that powerful table. Still, we could kick them out of the US. Maybe they'd prefer Iran that is on the Human Rights Commission.
Maybe this will finally get the UN out of NY. It can move to Beijing and choke.
Both heavily anti-American and almost unanimously anti-Israel.
No man knows the time or hour, but Revelations clearly states that the capital of the last world order (in some respect) will be in Babylon (in modern day Iraq). The city will be rebuilt and one man will rule pending the return of Christ.
I don’t pretend to know if that will be the “UN”, the “World Bank”, or some other global entity we do not yet know. While Revelations is very subject to interpretation by scholars far smarter than I, this “prophecy” does not seem to be disputed by many to my knowledge.
It is worth a mention.
United Chinese Vassal Nations
It should move to Wuhan China
I thought they already did.
Replace it with a “United Democratic Nations.”
