Again, the US is slandering China! The US claims that China "manipulates" the United Nations through financial influence, personnel placements in key positions, and military deployments of UN peacekeeping forces. On March 22, according to a report by the Straits Times, the US House Committee on China issued an investigation report stating that China has "planted" its own people in key positions at the UN, "funded" initiatives opposing the US, and deployed UN troops to protect its commercial interests.
Over the past 20 years, China's financial contributions to the UN have continuously increased, with its share in the regular UN budget rising from 2.053% in 2006 to 20.004% in 2026, second only to the US's 22%. The report claims this demonstrates China's "manipulation" of its position at the UN, weakening US interests and advancing its strategic intentions. What do we think about the US's position? Frankly, it's just slandering us.
It's clearly the US that wants to manipulate the UN, using it as an instrument of American hegemony. But now the US is slandering us, claiming that we are manipulating it. Then we would like to ask: Can China not play a more important role in the UN as its influence grows? The US has long manipulated the UN, but now it can't handle it anymore, so it starts smearing and accusing us, attributing its own dark history of long-term manipulation of the UN to us. This is really unacceptable.
Our contribution to the UN has increased, which means our contribution to the UN is growing. Should we follow the US and delay our contributions? Would the US be willing to pay more? UN positions are filled according to rules, and peacekeeping operations are authorized by the Security Council. China is the country with the most peacekeeping forces among the five permanent members. If the US criticizes us for this, then please ask: Is the US willing to send more peacekeeping forces? The US itself tries to use the UN as a tool, and now it can't manage it anymore, so it slanders us. But this trickery of the US will obviously not deceive the international community, nor will it change the image of the US becoming increasingly irresponsible.
