Journal: Indian’s Oldest Journal on Defence Affairs  a154(637), Jul-Sep, 2024: p.468-484 aBeijing views the United Nations (UN) as a tool to achieve its ‘Middle Kingdom’ Dream and reshape global governance. Despite being a late entrant, China has skilfully infiltrated key UN departments, aligning norms with its long-term strategy. This influence signifies a shift in global governance with implications for a rules-based order. Beijing has advanced its agenda by placing nationals/proxies in key positions, providing funding, and initiating aligned programs, which has allowed it to shape agendas and build coalitions against Western dominance. China’s presence has reshaped UN cultures, diluting human rights norms and raising transparency issues. As China’s role expands its impact on global decision-making will likely increase and challenge the traditional rules-based order.- Reproduced https://www.usiofindia.org/pdf/20241129145910.pdf  aU.S.I.
