«——【· Preface ·】——»
As we all know, the United Nations, as the most influential international organization, has always relied on the support of contributions paid by various countries, but the countries led by the United States only enjoy the right and do not pay their contributions.
According to statistics, their arrears of dues have reached more than 1 billion, which is also the cause of the United Nations lack of money, it stands to reason that at this time who owes money to whom, the United Nations does not dare to ask United States for money.
On the contrary, when the meeting was held on October 7, it proposed to adjust the proportion of membership dues, hoping to make developing countries pay more contributions, to which the mainland directly responded to the "three noes", so what are these "three noes"?
«——[· United Nations Makes the Mainland Pay More Membership Dues·] ——»
As an international organization, the United Nations plays a very important role in various countries, so the economic source of the United Nations is the membership fees paid by the member states.
On October 7, the United Nations proposed at the meeting that it would increase the proportion of contributions from developing countries led by China in the next three years.
Just because the United Nations has no money, everyone must have heard of this matter, after all, some countries are still in arrears, I thought that the United Nations would go to those countries that are in arrears when it has no money, but I don't want to reach the idea of developing countries led by China.
Moreover, this act of asking for money is really blatant, it is obvious that the countries headed by the United States do not pay their dues to make them have financial difficulties, and as a result, the United Nations does not dare to ask them for it, and actually asks the developing countries to pay for them.
To be honest, China has been honest in the United Nations over the years, and this is not the first time that the United Nations has increased its membership dues, since 2013, the mainland's membership fees have risen from 5% to 15% today.
You must know that the highest proportion of contributions paid by United States is only 22%, and the amount of dues to be paid by the mainland is second only to United States, although the mainland has become the second largest economic system in the world, but the responsibility of the mainland has also borne it.
Now it is somewhat unfair that it still wants to improve, let the mainland pay for those developed countries, and only rise for developing countries, and decline for those developed countries.
After all, even if the United States percentage is high, people do not pay their contributions, and it is precisely because United States do not pay their dues that the United Nations is short of money.
«——[· United States arrears ·] ——»
It can be said that the main culprit of all this is United States, because United States arrears of contributions have reached more than $1 billion.
If you are concerned about the international community, you should be able to find that the mainland has paid fees relatively late since last year, and from previous years, the mainland has not been in arrears.
But what about United States? As a major economic power in the world, they certainly do not lack that amount of membership dues, and the reason why they do not pay their dues is because they are putting pressure on the United Nations.
«——[· Continent's "Three Nos" Response ·】——»
But are we vegetarians in China? Of course, it was not when the United Nations made this request that Mr. Dai Bing of the mainland directly expressed the mainland's position with the "three noes," and did not agree, accept, or compromise.
At the same time, Dai Bing also directly said that the main reason for the shortage of funds in the United Nations is the arrears of the major contributors, and that if we want to truly solve the problem, we should find the people who created this crisis.
To be honest, the United States can support Ukraine with a lot of weapons and equipment, how to look at it does not look like people without money, their move is obviously not want to give ah, and the purpose is to let the United Nations target developing countries, this United Nations naturally has to act for money, but unfortunately the mainland will not allow this kind of thing to happen.
After all, no one wants to be a "wronged leader", and at the same time, the mainland's response is not only for its own interests, but also for the interests of those who are also developing countries.
After all, the economic gap between developing and developed countries is not small, and membership fees may not be a big deal for developed countries, but they are very important to developing countries, so we must not let these developing countries drain their pockets for membership fees.
Through the United Nations' request for an increase in contributions, it can be seen that the United States has been unable to make ends meet in arrears, and has seriously affected the normal operation of the United Nations.
At the beginning, the United Nations had to cut its budget and reduce its expenditures in order to alleviate the financial pressure, but these alone were not enough, they must have known whose problem it was, but the United Nations did not dare to ask for United States money, so it could only raise the membership fees of China and those developing countries to maintain their basic operations.
However, has the United Nations ever thought that the consequences of this will directly cause the United Nations to lose its authority, and secondly, as an important member of the United Nations, United States's behavior can be regarded as disrespectful to the United Nations, so this move will also shake the trust of other member states in the United Nations.
Therefore, the best way for the United Nations today is to recover the contributions of the major countries in arrears, which is the key to solving the budget dilemma of the United Nations, and only by doing so can it help maintain the authority and fairness of the United Nations.
After all, as an international organization, the United Nations needs to rely on the support of Member States to fulfill its responsibilities, and if the major countries in arrears are in arrears for a long time, it will seriously weaken the authority and influence of the United Nations and affect its fair position in international affairs.
Of course, in addition to collecting the contributions of large countries in arrears, the United Nations also needed to strengthen internal management and oversight, improve budget management and financial transparency, and reduce waste and redundancy, which was the real solution.
After all, in today's complex international situation, the United Nations, as the most influential organization, should build a fair and just platform for all countries, so in the face of financial difficulties, I hope that the United Nations can solve this problem fairly.
«——【· Conclusion ·】——»
In short, to solve the problem of United Nations funds, it is necessary to take a multi-pronged approach, and at the same time to recover the arrears of the General Assembly's contributions, strengthen internal management and supervision, and only in this way can the United Nations get out of its budgetary predicament, better perform its responsibilities, and make greater contributions to world peace and development.
At the same time, the mainland's response to this matter has directly demonstrated the responsibility and responsibility of a major country, and the mainland's clever response to the United Nations membership fee has not only embodied the wisdom of the mainland's diplomacy, but also demonstrated the mainland's status in the international arena, and it is believed that the mainland will have a greater voice in the international arena in the future.
