Act to Counter China's Influence at the UN

This act aims to strengthen the United States' position within the United Nations. The goal is for the U.S. to more effectively counter China's growing influence in the organization. In practice, this means the U.S. government will monitor China's actions at the UN and seek to increase its own engagement, potentially impacting global decisions on security and international cooperation.
Key points
The U.S. government will regularly report on China's activities at the UN, including attempts to place personnel and influence votes.
A new office will be established within the State Department to develop a strategy to counter China's influence at the UN.
The U.S. will consider paying its outstanding contributions to the UN to increase its financial and diplomatic leverage.
The number of U.S.-sponsored junior professional officers at the UN will increase to match or exceed those sponsored by China.
