What you don't understand about the UN What is the U.N.? According to Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute, the U.N. has three facets. There's the democratic General Assembly where all nations vote equally. There's the Security Council run by major countries. And then there's the 80,000+ international civil servants devoted to the organization's mission. That's why the U.N. can appear both powerful and helpless at the same time, Jia says.

How China went from UN outsider to leader in 50 years China's relationship with the U.N. has transformed greatly in five decades, according to Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute. In the 1970s, China barely participated in U.N. activities given its painful memories of foreign invasion. However, starting in 1978, China began learning from international institutions. Now, China actively leads U.N. initiatives and shapes global agendas through the Belt and Road Initiative and the like. It's a dramatic shift from watching from the sidelines to driving the conversation.

The West is wrong about China's UN agenda Western media claims China weaponizes the U.N. for geopolitical influence, but Prof. Jia Lieying, head of China's first university-based U.N. research institute, dismisses this narrative as logically untenable. China has deployed over 50,000 peacekeepers across Africa with no discernible strategic advantages, and has actively shared advanced climate technologies with the international community without preconditions. These actions reveal a genuine commitment to global development.

China's offers mean more inclusive approach to security, scholar says China's Global Security Initiative differs from Western approaches because it draws on Eastern philosophy and the idea of living together in harmony, says Chen Xulong, executive vice dean of the Institute for National Security and Governance at the University of International Business and Economics. While Europe pursues security through institutional blocs, China takes a more inclusive path that aims to bridge cultural, religious, and political divides, he argues. This makes it better suited to today's interconnected world, he says.

Countries must put aside differences to tackle global challenges, expert argues Countries with different political systems must work together on security to tackle threats like climate change and AI, says Chen Xulong, executive vice dean of the Institute for National Security and Governance at the University of International Business and Economics. While nations with opposing ideologies united to defeat fascism in World War II, they need to put aside differences to tackle today's global challenges so as to ensure our collective survival, he argues.
