In this powerful episode of The China Desk with host Steve Yates, UN Watch director Hillel Neuer exposes how China and other authoritarian regimes manipulate the United Nations from within. Neuer breaks down Beijing’s long-term strategy to dominate global institutions like the World Health Organization, the Human Rights Council, and other Geneva-based agencies — using influence, intimidation, and propaganda to silence dissent.
From the persecution of Uyghurs and Hong Kong dissidents to China’s infiltration of UN NGOs, this conversation reveals how the ideals of Eleanor Roosevelt’s original UN vision have been corrupted — and what can still be done to reclaim them.
