Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., on Sunday lambasted the United Nations<\/a> after its human rights office thanked China for giving an $800,000 donation, saying American tax dollars shouldn’t be funding the U.N. if the international organization “wants to continue shilling” for the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the self-described “leading U.N. entity on human rights,” thanked China on Twitter for donating money and invited others to financially support its human rights work as well.<\/p>\n

Banks, a member of the newly established House Select Committee<\/a> on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), slammed the U.N. for its tweet.<\/p>\n

“Pathetic!” he wrote. “If the [U.N.] wants to continue shilling for the #CCP, American tax dollars shouldn’t pay for it.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. is the single largest financial contributor to the U.N. system,\u00a0contributing more than $12.5 billion<\/a> \u2013 or roughly a quarter of funding for the body’s collective budget \u2013 in 2021, the most recent year with full available data.<\/p>\n

As for 2023, the U.N.’s regular budget, which funds just the core administrative costs of the organization (including human rights entities), is $3.4 billion. The U.S. is assessed to pay 22%<\/a> of that amount, the highest of any U.N. member, followed by China (15.25%) and Japan (8.03%).<\/p>\n

Rebeccah Heinrichs, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, responded to the tweet by saying, “Imaging thinking this org is of value to Americans.”<\/p>\n

Julie Millsap, the government affairs manager for the Uyghur Human Rights Project, was left speechless by the tweet.<\/p>\n

“Seriously?” tweeted Michael Sobolik, a fellow in Indo-Pacific Studies at the American Foreign Policy Council.<\/p>\n

Despite such strong U.S. financial support, experts in recent years have noted China’s influence in the U.N. has increased significantly.<\/p>\n

“Across the U.N. system, China is punching above its weight. Until recently, a Chinese national led more U.N. specialized agencies than any other nation,” Brett Schaefer and Michael Cunningham of the Heritage Foundation wrote last September. “China is routinely elected to a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, and that body \u2013 the most prestigious human rights organization in the U.N. system \u2013 has never passed a condemnatory resolution on China’s well-documented human rights violations.”<\/p>\n

UN BODY REJECTS DISCUSSION ON CHINA HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES: ‘FAILED THE TEST TO UPHOLD ITS CORE MISSION’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/a> and the State Department under both the Trump and Biden administrations have assessed China is committing genocide against the Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority, in the Chinese region of Xinjiang.<\/p>\n

Since 2017, the Chinese government has\u202freportedly imprisoned\u202fmore than a million\u202fUyghurs in concentration camps, where, according to leaked documents from inside China, detainees are subjected to rape, torture, forced labor, brainwashing and forced sterilization.<\/p>\n

Last August, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, released a damning report <\/a>on human rights concerns in Xinjiang. Weeks later, however, the U.N. Human Rights Council narrowly rejected holding a debate on the report.<\/p>\n

Eventually, 50 countries released a joint statement condemning Chinese persecution and calling for U.N. action to hold China accountable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
