SinceUnited NationsSince its inception, it has had high hopes as a global organization. However, in the recent Palestinian-Israeli conflict,United NationsThe role is very limited. The right to vote on the Security Council allows the United States to unilaterally veto any proposal, which weakensUnited Nationsinfluence and prestige. Israel's arrogance is on full displayUnited Nationsof powerlessness, not only ignoredInternationalThe voice of society, even rightUnited NationsThe Secretary-General offers an apology or resignation. The United States asUnited NationsOne of the major donors, however, owes nearly $700 million in contributions, occupyingUnited Nations22% of the membership fee in 2023, which shows the U.S. pairUnited NationsDisruption of order.
However, China, as a responsible power, is rightUnited NationsSupport has never been ambiguous. In recent years, China has been inUnited NationsThe proportion of contributions paid increased significantly, from 0.0 in 198979% increased to 15254% becameUnited Nationsof the second largest contributors. China is not only actively fulfilling its ownInternationalresponsibility, and has made a great contribution in helping poor countries. This kind of dedication makes China becomeUnited Nationsof pillars, not helpers. In contrast, the arrears of the United States and other developed countries are more prominent, making the problem of arrears in the United States more prominentUnited NationsRequests for additional contributions to countries such as China have to be made.
United NationsThere was no doubt that part of the contributions was used to help poor countries. **EmergencyYesUnited NationsEstablishment of humanitarianismto provide assistance to people affected by natural disasters and armed conflict.

However, partiallyUnited NationsThe use of funds can be confusing and infuriating. For example, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict,United NationsThe Secretary-General has provided assistance to Ukraine without authorization with the contributions of Member States, with a cumulative amount of $3.9 billion. Even more excessively, in order to support Ukraine,United NationsEven arrears of wages to employees. InternationalThe IAEA as a pushInternationalnuclear energy cooperation and preventionNuclear contaminationbut in some incidents failed in its duties. For example, the violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by the United States, andInternationalThe IAEA has turned a deaf ear to this and has even provided technical support for nuclear submarines to Australia. In the case of Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater,InternationalThe IAEA's actions are even more infuriating.
Recently there was news thatUnited NationsChina was asked to contribute another $1 billion in membership dues. However, according to the information verified by the author, this statement is not entirely accurate. In fact,United NationsThe Secretary-General did not directly ask China for a contribution, but urged 40 donors to continue to scale up their support to meet the $1 billion funding target. Resident in ChinaUnited NationsAlternate RepresentativeDai BingHe said that China had paid all its dues and voluntary contributions on time, and that future contributions would be made within its capacity. Dai BingThe ambassador's response showed that China had done its part, but had not completely rejected the Secretary-General's request. China's contribution would depend on the principle of voluntariness within its capabilities and remind other countries in arrears of their responsibilities.
In summary,United NationsThe role is limited by a number of factors, including those of the major powers in the CouncilOne vetoand the problem of arrears in the payment of contributions by some countries. China, as a responsible major country, has always supported itUnited Nationsand did their part in the payment of dues and donations. However, someUnited NationsThe question of the use of funds is confusing and infuriating. The suggestion that China is being asked to donate again is somewhat misleading, but in fact calls on all donors to continue to increase their support. Most importantly, Member States should work together to strengthen cooperation for the benefit ofUnited NationsThe role and status of the role into new life.
