China has pledged to give $500 million to the World Health Organization as the country is set to replace the United States as the group’s top state donor, expanding Beijing’s global influence in the wake of Washington’s retreat from international cooperation.
Chinese Vice Premier Liu Guozhong told the World Health Assembly that his country is making the contribution to oppose “unilateralism,” a trait Beijing often ascribes to Washington as relations between the two powers deteriorate.
“The world is now facing the impacts of unilateralism and power politics, bringing major challenges to global health security,” Liu said Tuesday in Geneva. “China strongly believes that only with solidarity and mutual assistance can we create a healthy world together.”
...Beijing, meanwhile, has worked to portray itself as a superior alternative to U.S. power — namely, as a responsible global leader and defender of the international order. Under leader Xi Jinping, China has pursued a more aggressive foreign policy in its bid to replace the U.S. as the world’s preeminent power — a strategy that requires more friends — and has sought to rewrite the rules of the global order in its favor.

It’s because they fret over the worlds health!!
They want to promote unsafe vaccines for the next virus they release?
This is for propaganda not health.
Like the WHO isn’t already a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP.
Oh Oh. Now do the UN.
China did not have a Covid vaccine.
The number of Chinese who died is fantastically large, in the tens of Millions. No one knows the real number because those who collected the data are among the dead
Just to make sure to have POLTIICS in the field of Science, which will always tip the scale in favor of Politics.
I guess Pete and Roger split it down the middle.
That’s because they welded them in their high rise tenements and refused them basic services like food and medicine.
China has always done unethical things to control its population size……..if this happened at all.

“The number of Chinese who died is fantastically large, in the tens of Millions. No one knows the real number because those who collected the data are among the dead.”
Looks like you believe the Chinese propaganda.
China very much wants to promote WEF/Davos style globalism - because it binds the West and the United States, while they themselves will never allow the slightest foreign influence within their own political system and society.
When a state speaks in terms of oxymorons - particularly given the obvious - it qualifies DJT's actions.
A small price to pay to sow chaos in the world economy from the viewpoint of the Chinese Communist Party. Remember that they butchered between 80 and 110 million of their own people to establish Communism under Mao.
What did we get for our billion a year?
Good. They already own the WHO leadership. At least they are paying for them now.
China has a sick culture ruled by sociopathic criminals. Sometimes it feels like we live in China.
Apparently you have not been paying attention. China has control over the U.N. for a while now.
Seems like WHO is more aligned with China’s goals, just like the rest of the UN, than the US is. Hopefully Pres. Trump will start encouraging the UN to abandon New York and move to anywhere in Europe.
That sounds like a win. Long overdue.
