Should China maintain a presence at the United Nations?
The UN. is an organization of governments founded in 1945 after World War II. The organization’s objectives include promoting peace and security, protecting human rights and the environment and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict. Recent U.N. interventions include the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009 and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. China joined the U.N. in 1945 as a founding member nation. China is the third largest financial contributor to the UN and contributes $140 million annually.

No, the US involvement should be kept minimal and the UN headquarters removed from the US. Un should receive 0 funding and support from the U.S.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but with an emphasis of counter terrorism.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
No, the US should declare anyone employed by the UN outlaws and issue warrants for their arrest and bounties for their capture, dead or alive. In addition, the US should sanction all member countries.
@9268RLG3yrs3Y
I think we should upon the point of where it is no longer beneficial and or unless its shut down.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Counterterrorism as the main involvement.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, USA is important country of UN
@8ZPHR882yrs2Y
No, the UN is just an institution designed to spread capitalist propaganda and destabilize regions that disagree with former imperial powers.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, US is important country of UN.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, to combat terrorism and for the protection of the environment and human rights.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but make sure the UN is still promoting peace, human rights, and being used for humanitarian aid purposes.

@8HDWQKS4yrs4Y
Yes, but we should not be the primary contributor to the UN. Also, we should only remain as long as it is effective.
@932GCCP2yrs2Y
No, and actively work on tearing down the U.N. as a whole. They've provided no benefit to humanity.
@8RSTXFT4yrs4Y
Regardless, the U.N has proven to be entirely ineffective.
@8M98FV94yrs4Y
Yes, and increase our involvement with them.
@8RPPVM64yrs4Y
I don't a stance on this issue.
@8SSTKGQ4yrs4Y
don't leave and reduce spending on it
@8KX67Q94yrs4Y
Yes, but work on reforming the UN so that it reflects the current geopolitical climate rather than that of World War II.
@JaamesWJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if it has serious reform
@8SGD6VY4yrs4Y
Yes, but hold other members accountable for their involvement
@8YMZ7NF3yrs3Y
I dont really know what this means:)
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, as China is gaining influence onto the world via the UN. We should them accountable for their crimes against humanity in international court, and help reform China into a country like our own. Only then can we rejoin the UN.
@Frugajn3yrs3Y
Yes, it's an important step for a united world.
@3YNTGFH3yrs3Y
Yes, but others should be required to shoulder more of the financial and personnel burdens.
@78S5M874yrs4Y
We should start being friends with every country in the world and be peaceful to everyone.
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
No, the UN has become very corrupt and has been taken over by the Communists
@78S5M874yrs4Y
Lets leave every country alone, and be friends with everyone
@78S5M874yrs4Y
Lets be friends with every country
@78S5M874yrs4Y
Lets create peace and be friends with every country in the world.
@85QWNPG4yrs4Y
Yes, but the UN in its current form is a stand still for communication between surveillance states, a complete reformation with respected and strict guidelines, as well agreed action would be necessary to be taken seriously. Today’s UN is more a workers union stifled by inaction
@EthanHars4yrs4Y
Yes, use it to punish China and Russia
@8GKGNRJ4yrs4Y
No, but we should continue to associate with nation's that share our values and ideals
@8GJ3NJZ4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as it promotes our values and our contribution is proportionate
@8JBN6KV4yrs4Y
No! They want to oversee us and have infiltrated our government. The U.N. and E.U. need to be shut down. We need to pull out and ignore their one world government agenda. U.N. troops are very corrupt.
@8JB5F4Z4yrs4Y
What is the point of it if we all break it anyways?
@8MTNKKH4yrs4Y
YES, but contributions should match other countries. All countries should pay the same amount.
@kaparker4yrs4Y
Yes, but reduce U.N. reliance on the United States
@8MZ79MJ4yrs4Y
Yes We Should Keep Presence But Not Help Agenda 21
@8NXSCW24yrs4Y
Yes, but only if there is equal pay from all members
@8PBTNXK4yrs4Y
Yes, however the UN needs reform
@8PTCRJC4yrs4Y
Yes, it is essential we keep the presence of the UN in and across governments to harmonize the actions of countries and work towards international peace
@TogetherinSoli14yrs4Y
No, in theory, the UN is a good idea, but it needs to be reformed to provide better solutions to the problems they are tackling
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, but do not leave at the cost of relations with the countries apart of the U.N., and also remove the headquarters from U.S.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, I support the concept, but we need to break away along with NATO and other countries and form a separate council of nations with a lack of human rights violations
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, but it needs reform as a council of nations with a lack of human rights violations
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, I support the concept, we need to break away along with NATO and other countries and form a separate council of nations with a lack of human rights violations
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, I support the concept, but the the current U.N. does not actually care about human rights, and also remove the headquarters from U.S.
@8TZN47S3yrs3Y
Only for the benefit of other countries
@8VPT7GY3yrs3Y
In my opinion the U.S should not be called the United States because we arent really united anymore, at times it feels like were on war with each other.
@8W24N593yrs3Y
It just depends on what they need to do.
@8W6MZKW3yrs3Y
I believe we should leave, as the UN doesn't really stop other countries from being absolutely tyrannical. The UN has proven to be ineffcient in stopping wars and when it comes to helping countries in need, they are extremely biased. They have a track record of not helping countries in need most famously when they rejected to give aid multiple times during the Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda. The UN isn't needed and without it we would still possibly be in ties with other countries anyways.
@8WJ98R93yrs3Y
Yes, and use the U.N. Peacekeeping Forces to protect our interests and others, while also making sure they are correctly equipped for such things.
@ThomasJ13313yrs3Y
Yes, but use the UN for peacekeeping around the world.
@thomasjj03yrs3Y
Yes, but it should only be used for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid.
@8Y2PZNR3yrs3Y
Yes, but it should act as an advisory board and not a policy board and the US should strive to increase its standing within the UN, especially with countries that are our allies but don't always agree with us
@8YW4MHH3yrs3Y
Yes, if they hold all countries to the same standards.
@92SKVGV3yrs3Y
Yes, and follow the global community rather than dictate it
