The House Select Committee on China released a report on Friday asserting that China is manipulating its position at the United Nations to “undermine America’s interests and advance its international ambitions”.

The 34-page report makes the case that China uses budget contributions, appointments to key UN executive positions and strategically deployed troops to expand its reach.

The committee did not detail how these activities differed from how most countries operate at the UN, or the influence of major donor countries, at a time when the US has slashed funding to the UN and other international organisations.

“The People’s Republic of China is working to expand its influence throughout the United Nations,” John Moolenaar, a Republican from Michigan and chairman of the bipartisan committee, said at a hearing in New York.

“The United States is working with our allies and partners to maintain transparency and the integrity of UN institutions and not to allow it to be leveraged by countries like China.”

The report posits that the strong reforms handed down by the administration of US President Donald Trump will “hold the UN accountable and make important changes that protect our national security”.
