I mean, you’re not that far off given the PRC’s permanent seat on the UN’s security council, but you know full well that most states and the WHO have a vested financial interest in not pissing off the CCP.

uh, buddy, you’re aware the US has that too right? like, by your own logic the chinese cannot control the UN any more than the US can, and I’m purely using what you’ve said, no other needed information about the history of what the UN says and sides most of the time with needed.

I was poking fun at your sarcastic comment; I don’t genuinely believe that China nor the US controls the UN any more (or any less) than their role in the geopolitical landscape would dictate.

I wouldn’t argue that it’s a stooge at all. Yeah, the US holds an outsized influence on its constituent states, but that’s only because it holds an outsized influence over geopolitics on general. The same goes for China and Russia (the latter maybe moreso prior to the Ukraine war).
