They’ll have no counterbalance to their influence now. This isn’t good.
I was actually with him when he wanted to threaten their funding to reform them. I even started a thread about it. But this won’t lead to a good place.
This is anti-leadership.

@jon-nyc In many times, it is easier (and more productive) to change something from the inside rather than try from the outside.

We won’t be changing anything. This will be a Chinese dominated institution the way it was dominated by us in, say, 1990.

I understand that. I was trying to say that if we want reform, it would be better to do while still a member rather than looking in from the outside. For sure, we will not be able to do anything with WHO in that situation.

Empty threats don’t change anything either.

The US has been footing the bill for WHO to the tune of almost 1 billion a year. What have we gotten from them in return - NOTHING. China has funded the WHO around 86 million a year. What has China gotten in return? A puppet that carries water for them, and because they engaged in a cover up for China and acted as a propaganda arm, millions of people around the world are dead.
Tell me why the American taxpayer continue to throw away a billion dollars a year on an organization that has become nothing more than a propaganda tool for China.

For the same reason we fund the U.N. /sarc
