[Epoch Times November 02, 2021](Reported by Epoch Times reporters Long Tengyun and Luo Ya) 50 years ago, the Republic of China, one of the founding members of the United Nations, was usurped by the Chinese Communist regime. Different from the establishment of the United Nations, the predecessor made a great contribution to resisting Japanese fascism and reversing the situation of World War II. Over the past 50 years, the CCP has brought great challenges to the world and is using the United Nations platform to try to establish a new international order under its leadership.
“Look, find, find friends, find a good friend…”, April 10, 2019, students in Lebanon, which may be subject to terrorist attacks and artillery bombing at all times, Lebanon’s Tyre Elite School and Huizhou City No. 7 Primary School in China Through a video connection, we sang a nursery rhyme that was promoted throughout China in the 1950s after the CCP seized power.
The Chinese Communist Party’s official media Xinhua reported that this is the 17th batch of the Chinese Communist Party’s mission to Lebanon to build a cultural exchange platform for the China-Lebanon school.
However, an internal document recently obtained by The Epoch Times revealed that this is a political mission assigned by the party by the CCP army in the UN peacekeeping operation.
In March 2019, the 17th batch of the CCP’s peacekeeping construction engineering team sent to the Huicheng District Education Bureau of Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, to the CCP’s Huizhou City Education Bureau, requesting the organization of the Huizhou Seventh Primary School and the Lebanese Elite School of Tyre to carry out a transnational video Connected activities. The team stated in an official letter that “in order to spread Chinese culture and expand China’s influence”, they not only organized various evening parties, opened Chinese martial arts classes, and also organized Chinese teaching.
The No. 7 Primary School of Huizhou City disclosed the arrangements for “propaganda guarantee” in the “Video Connection Activity Plan”, including the “tentative peacekeeping force responsible for contacting” local media, CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, China News Service (China News Service), and People’s Daily. NET, China Military Network, Ministry of National Defense website, Southern Theater Official Account, Group Army Steel Pioneer, Guangdong Provincial TV Station, Huizhou TV Station, “Huizhou Daily” and other local media at all levels.
However, the official website of the United Nations stated that the peacekeeping mission authorized by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon is to “monitor the cessation of hostilities and assist in ensuring that humanitarian assistance reaches civilians.”
According to a special report on the CCP’s peacekeeping mission to Lebanon by the United Nations News on May 27, 2021, the CCP’s missions to Lebanon mainly include mine clearance and detonation, blue line pile planting, observation post construction, patrol road repair, medical assistance, and Humanitarian assistance, etc.
Su Ziyun, Director of Military Strategy and Industry of the National Academy of Defense Security of Taiwan, said that the spread of so-called Chinese culture by the CCP’s peacekeeping forces should not be part of the UN peacekeeping mission. “In addition to maintaining the security of the war zone, its peacekeeping forces will also convey the CCP’s culture and ideology through cultural exchanges with schools in the country where they are stationed, and shape the CCP’s image.”
He said, “This is a compound strategy for the CCP to participate in UN affairs. It uses all forms, including peacekeeping operations, to export the CCP’s authority.”
The United Nations was established in 1945 to prevent war and maintain peace. Its core tasks include peacekeeping operations authorized by the United Nations.
In the white paper “Chinese Army Participating in UN Peacekeeping Operations for 30 Years” released in September 2020, the CCP described itself as a responsible major country that “adheres to multilateralism” and “fulfills the role of a major power, maintains world peace, and serves to build a community with a shared future for mankind.” .
But in reality, there are not only documents exposed by The Epoch Times, which expose the CCP’s military’s implementation of the party’s political tasks in peacekeeping operations; the public record of CCP’s participation in peacekeeping operations, especially the number of troops sent and where they are deployed, also reveals differences. information.
According to the official UN peacekeeping website, as of September 30, 2021, the CCP has sent a total of 2,158 soldiers in the 8 UN peacekeeping operations currently involved; nearly half of them (1,031, accounting for 48%) are deployed in South Sudan.
Since May 2006, the CCP has sent peacekeeping troops to South Sudan in Africa (which was not yet independent at the time). In September 2014, the CCP announced that it would send a 700-person peacekeeping infantry battalion to South Sudan. This is also the first time that the CCP has sent a formed combat force to participate in a UN peacekeeping operation. Reuters and other foreign media reported at the time that the CCP’s move was to protect local oil investment. The Chinese Communist Party has neither admitted nor denied this statement, only saying that it was due to the UN’s invitation to send troops for peacekeeping.
Before South Sudan became independent and separated from Sudan in 2011, Sudan was China’s largest overseas oil investor. China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), a state-owned enterprise of the Communist Party of China, has invested billions of dollars in Sudan and owns 40% of the shares of Sudan’s Great Nile Petroleum Operation Company. China is the world‘s largest oil importer, and crude oil mainly depends on imports.
Up to now, the CCP has stationed 81% of its peacekeeping forces in Africa. According to data from the “China-Africa Cooperation Forum” under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China, China has replaced the United States as the largest direct investor in Africa and the largest investor in Africa’s energy and infrastructure.
At the same time, Africa is also the most important partner of the CCP’s regional expansion strategy “One Belt One Road”. As of February 2021, 45 out of 55 African countries have signed the Belt and Road Agreement with the CCP, accounting for more than one-third of the 140 signatory countries.
Current affairs commentator Li Linyi believes that “the CCP’s participation in UN peacekeeping operations is mainly for one-party self-interests, with at least three purposes. One is political purposes, to shape the image of a major country, and to seize the right to speak in the United Nations; the other is economic purposes, to protect The Chinese Communist Party’s state-owned enterprises invest in overseas petroleum, minerals and other strategic resources; the third is to export the Chinese Communist Party’s culture and ideology to the host country.”
The CCP wins a seat in the United Nations by assisting foreign countries to obtain support votes
On October 25, 2021, in his speech, Xi Jinping reviewed the past 50 years ago that the CCP won a seat in the United Nations with a majority of votes, and advocated multilateralism, insisting that the United Nations “one country, one vote” set rules.
However, Chen Weijian, editor-in-chief of the well-known Chinese democracy movement journal “Beijing Spring”, believes that multilateralism has been abused by the CCP. “One country, one vote makes the United Nations controlled by the CCP. It will use aid to win the support of many small countries.”
Feng Chongyi, an expert on China at the University of Technology Sydney, also believes that “Xi Jinping is now confident because he can spend money to buy his little brother to stand on the CCP’s side at the United Nations.”
CCP diplomat Wu Jianming disclosed in his book “Diplomatic Cases II” that the key to the struggle to win a seat in the United Nations that year was Mao Zedong’s “Two Middle Zones” strategy, and Zhou Enlai’s eight principles of foreign aid. Wu was one of the first members of the CCP’s United Nations delegation. In the 1990s, he served as the CCP’s ambassador to the Netherlands and France.
In 1964, Mao Zedong put forward the view of “two intermediate zones”, thinking that Asia, Africa and Latin America are the intermediate zones that the CCP can fight for, and Western Europe is another target. In the same year, Zhou Enlai put forward eight principles of foreign aid.
Wu Jianming recalled in the book that a large number of African countries became independent in the 1960s. China and Guinea, Ghana, Mali, Congo, Tanzania, Zambia and other African countries established diplomatic relations and “provided them with economic and technical assistance.”
On October 25, 1971, the “Two Algeria Proposals” put forward by 18 countries including Algeria and Albania (later increased to 23) were finally passed by the UN General Assembly and became the so-called Resolution 2758. The resolution allowed the CCP to seize the Republic of China’s seat in the United Nations.
The 18 sponsors include: Albania, Algeria, Cuba, Guinea, Iraq, Mali, Mauritania, Yemen Democratic People’s Republic, Congo, Tanzania, Romania, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen Arab Republic, Yugoslavia and Zambia.
Among them, with the exception of several communist regimes in Albania, Cuba and Yugoslavia, which are natural allies of the CCP, most of the others are the CCP’s aid targets.
For example, Wu Jianming disclosed in the “Diplomatic Case II” that the Tanzania-Zambia (Tanzania-Zambia) railway aided by the Chinese Communist Party “was a major aid project for Africa in the 1960s when China’s own economic conditions were still difficult.” “But its establishment played a major role” and “brought great benefits to New China’s diplomacy.”
As for the “difficult period” mentioned in “Diplomatic Case II” in the 1960s, Wikipedia data shows that between 1959 and 1961, the industrialization and the Great Leap Forward initiated by the CCP led to a great famine in mainland China. The CCP initially called it a three-year natural disaster, and later changed it to a three-year difficult period. This is known overseas as the number of deaths caused by the three-year famine. Chinese and foreign researchers estimate that the number of Chinese people who died of starvation is between 15 million and 55 million.
“60 Years of China’s Foreign Aid” published in 2013 by Zhou Hong, director of the Institute of European Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, disclosed information on the CCP’s foreign aid. The book stated that even during the so-called “three-year natural disaster” period (1959-1961), the CCP still provided a large amount of food to the Asian, African and Latin American countries. In 1960 alone, the CCP provided 10,000 tons of rice to Guinea. The declassified files of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the CCP also confirmed that the CCP also aided 15,000 tons of wheat to Albania in 1960.
When Wu Jianming talked about the CCP’s membership in the United Nations, he admitted that Mao Zedong once said that “Brothers from Africa carried us in.”
The four stages of the CCP’s development in the United Nations
On October 26, 2021, the “Multidimensional Network”, regarded as the CCP’s external propaganda, summarized the CCP’s four stages in the United Nations, namely: the first stage “learning and watching” (1971-1978); the second stage “following Running and adapting” (1978-1989); the third stage is “active and promising” (1990-2012); the fourth stage is “actively leading” (the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012 until now).
1) Learning stage. “Diplomatic Case II” admits that Zhou Enlai asked CCP diplomats to “learn from our opponents” before they went to the United Nations.
2) Adaptation stage. Bloomberg’s senior political reporter Peter Martin described in the new book “China’s Cultural Liberation Army: The Formation of Wolf Warrior Diplomacy (China’s Civilian Army)” published in 2021 that the CCP “integrated into the international society at an extraordinary speed.” For example, the CCP only joined one intergovernmental international organization and signed 6 international treaties before joining the United Nations in 1971, but by 1989 it had joined 37 intergovernmental organizations and signed 125 international treaties.
3) Active stage. The book also pays attention to how the CCP has portrayed itself as a “responsible power”, such as building a reputation in developing countries, especially those regimes that did not react fiercely to the CCP’s 1989 Tiananmen massacre.
The book exemplifies that in the summer of 1989, the Chinese Communist Party’s Foreign Minister Qian Qichen visited 11 African countries. In 1996, the then leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, visited six African countries and signed a landmark trade agreement. The leader of the Communist Party who committed the crime of genocide is handed over to any international court on the grounds that it is a “Cambodian internal affair”.
The book concluded that the international community’s criticism of Beijing’s human rights record has actually become a way for the CCP to establish contacts with some countries.
Feng Chongyi said that the CCP is going to buy these countries with poor human rights records at any cost, “because these countries are against democracies. So even if many Chinese people die of starvation, the CCP doesn’t care. It just wants to help these little brothers.”
“Diplomatic Case II” also revealed that until the 1990s, the CCP relied on the support of African countries to veto the “anti-China proposal” criticizing the CCP for violating human rights in the Human Rights Commission.
4) The hegemony/leading stage. In the past decade or so, the CCP’s international participation has transformed into a more active struggle for hegemony, and has even gained a leading edge in certain areas.
A typical recent example is the international community’s response to the CCP’s suppression of Xinjiang people in the United Nations.
In July 2019, 22 member states of the Human Rights Council issued a statement criticizing the CCP’s human rights abuses in Xinjiang. A few days later, 37 countries wrote to the United Nations to support the CCP’s Xinjiang policy.
On June 22, 2021, more than forty countries, led by Canada, criticized human rights in Xinjiang at the UN Human Rights Council. But Belarus, on behalf of 65 countries, declared at the meeting that it supports the CCP.
The Human Rights Council is an intergovernmental body in the United Nations system that aims to promote and protect human rights on a global scale.
Feng Chongyi believes that “The CCP has bought many small countries, and the United Nations has become a dictator’s club.” “The CCP is an absolute dictatorship at home, but it demands democracy internationally because it controls these international organizations, including the United Nations.”
The CCP’s influence on the United Nations: “For its own use”
For 50 years, the CCP has been increasing its participation in the United Nations, but its influence on the latter does not match its obligations and responsibilities.
For example, the CCP did not increase its UN membership fee to 12% until 2019, compared to 22% in the United States. However, the CCP has won 4 of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations (27%); its representatives have become the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). , The top leadership of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Any other country, including the United States, can only get a leading position in a United Nations agency at most.
1) International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Zhao Houlin, the former official of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the Communist Party of China, was elected as the Secretary-General of ITU in October 2014 and was re-elected in November 2018, with a term of office until 2023.
After Zhao Houlin took office as Secretary General of ITU, he has repeatedly publicly encouraged Chinese companies to “actively participate in the formulation of various international telecommunications standards and seize the initiative in future market competition”, and has repeatedly expressed support for Huawei 5G. The United States has been accusing Huawei of serving the Chinese military, and Huawei’s 5G threatens world security.
On April 17, 2018, the International Telecommunication Union and iFlytek signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the ITU headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, to jointly carry out the research and application of intelligent voice and artificial intelligence technology. The U.S. accused HKUST’s voice technology of being used by the CCP to violate human rights in Xinjiang.
2) International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Liu Fang, a civil aviation official of the Communist Party of China, was elected as ICAO Secretary-General in March 2015 and was re-elected in March 2018, with a term of office until July 2021.
After Liu Fang became ICAO Secretary General in 2015, Taiwan’s name on the ICAO Global Freight List was changed from “Taiwan Taipei” to “Chinese Taipei”.
Since 2016, ICAO has consistently rejected Taiwan’s participation in the ICAO General Assembly.
In January 2018, the CCP unilaterally opened the M503 south-to-north route through the Taiwan Strait on the grounds that it was approved by ICAO. This move was opposed by the government of the Republic of China and was seen as reducing the early warning time of Taiwan’s air defense and greatly increasing the cost of air defense.
Taiwan’s defense expert Su Ziyun believes that these United Nations agencies and international organizations controlled by the CCP “will definitely hinder Taiwan’s accession, and at the same time, they will also bias the interests of the CCP.” He emphasized, “The CCP uses international organizations such as ITU to promote CCP-led international standards. , It also threatens the security of all countries in the world.”
3) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Qu Dongyu was elected Director-General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in June 2019 and previously served as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Chinese Communist Party. A few months after Qu Dongyu took office, the Chinese Communist Party held the 2019 China Rural Revitalization and the First “One Belt One Road” Agricultural and Rural Development Forum in Hangzhou in December of that year. Yao Xiangjun, head of the FAO Asia-Pacific regional project, praised the Belt and Road Initiative for giving countries a huge amount of food resources. Cooperation space.
In addition to the “Belt and Road” initiative, Qu Dongyu’s leadership of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization has also brought other worries to the international community, such as genetically modified crops.
In the process of the CCP’s election for Director-General of FAO, the US representative to FAO asked Qu Dongyu about his views on genetically modified crops in April 2019. Although Qu made a “we must be cautious” answer, this does not reduce the worries of the outside world.
The CCP’s current policy prohibits the direct use of genetically modified crops as table food, but it has been promoting the development and application of genetically modified technology in agriculture.
On February 21, 2021, the Communist Party of China issued the No. 1 Document of the Central Committee of Agriculture-“Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization and Accelerating the Modernization of Agriculture and Rural Areas”, calling for “a good turnaround in the seed industry.” According to the interpretation of Lu Media by Zhang Taolin, Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the Communist Party of China and academicians Wu Kongming and Wan Jianmin of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the deployment of Central Document No. 1 includes the use of emerging technologies such as genetic modification, gene editing, whole-genome selection, and synthetic biology. Food security.
China is the world‘s largest importer of genetically modified crops. In 2020, it imported more than 100 million tons of soybeans, most of which are genetically modified crops.
4) United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO, UNIDO).
The Vice Minister of Finance of the Communist Party of China Li Yong was elected as the Director-General of UNIDO in 2013 and was re-elected in 2017, with a term of office until the end of 2021.
In April 2019, UNIDO signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation with the Ministry of Water Resources of the Communist Party of China and the National Standardization Management Committee to promote the CCP-led international standard technical guidelines for small hydropower to countries around the world.
Li Yong also actively promotes UNIDO’s participation in the CCP’s “One Belt, One Road” and “2025” strategies. For example, UNIDO hosted the “Belt and Road” city conference, dedicated to promoting the CCP’s “Belt and Road” initiative.
According to the official propaganda of the CCP, under the promotion of the United Nations, as of January 2021, the CCP has signed 205 documents to jointly build the “Belt and Road” with 140 countries and 31 international organizations. “One Belt One Road” is an initiative proposed by Xi Jinping to develop regional cooperation, but it has been accused by the U.S. government of exporting geopolitical influence and using corruption and debt traps to strengthen its control over countries along the route.
Su Ziyun analyzed the changes brought to the United Nations by Chinese leaders, “This is the characteristic of the CCP. The officials it selects to join international organizations must be loyal to the CCP, so these CCP representatives cannot really serve the United Nations and the international community.”
Moreover, the CCP’s control of international organizations such as the United Nations does not seem to be limited to nationality.
In October 2021, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Kristalina Georgieva, the president of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), was accused of pressured World Bank staff to manipulate data in favor of China during his tenure as the CEO of the World Bank.
On October 11, the IMF Executive Board stated that it had confidence in Olquieva, but acknowledged that the World Bank’s investigation is still ongoing. Georgieva is an economist in Bulgaria. She served as CEO of the World Bank from 2017 to 2019; she was transferred to President of the IMF in October 2019 for a five-year term.
In 2020, the U.S. government withdrew from the organization because it was dissatisfied with WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s unilateral acceptance of the Chinese Communist Party’s rhetoric, which led to the spread of the new crown virus worldwide. After Bi came to power in 2021, the United States returned to the WHO. On October 29, Tedros Tedros became the only candidate for the next Secretary-General of the WHO, who will be re-elected after the expiration of August 2022. After receiving support from the CCP, Tedros Tedros from Ethiopia took over this UN agency in June 2017 from the former Secretary-General of the WHO and former Director of the Department of Health of Hong Kong.
Chen Weijian, editor-in-chief of the well-known Chinese journal “Beijing Spring”, told The Epoch Times, “The current CCP virus (new crown virus, COVID) is the WHO cooperating with the CCP to allow the virus to spread to the world.”
He said, “The CCP’s virus is not only a biological virus, but also a political virus, an economic virus, etc. If the United Nations system is not reformed, the CCP will spread the disaster to the world.”
