October 24, 2015, Manhattan, New York, United Nations Headquarters.!!

A total of 192 heads of state, heads of government or high-level representatives of 192 countries, including the head of state of the Republic of China (Republic of China) (President Kiyo Gieu), US President Japbel, Russian President Nedmeiv, French President Renaud (France) and British Prime Minister Harrison, attended the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.

In the morning, after the celebrations, the Secretary-General of the United Nations announced the adjustment of contributions and the assessment for 2016-2019.

The maximum contribution of a single Member State to the regular budget of the United Nations has been reduced from 22 per cent to 20 per cent. The new assessments were: 20 per cent for the United States, 17 per cent for China, 129 per cent for Japan, 88 per cent for Germany, 65 per cent for the United Kingdom, 64 per cent for France, 49 per cent for Italy, 27 per cent for Canada, 268 per cent for Spain, 21 per cent for Mexico, 208 per cent for Brazil and 192 per cent for Russia.

A simple set of data that has captured the world's attention.

The standard of the United Nations contribution is determined by the economic strength of the member states, as well as a number of other factors. In order to prevent the United Nations from becoming overly dependent on a country for funding, a "capped" price was set for each fiscal year's contributions, which were adjusted every three years, depending on the actual situation. In 2000, the maximum contribution of a single Member State to the regular budget of the United Nations had been reduced from 25 per cent to 22 per cent, and this time to 20 per cent.

Although the United States is still the largest "sponsor" of the United Nations, its share has decreased significantly, indicating that the United States' share of the world economy has been greatly reduced. Because the "dependence" of the United Nations on the United States has decreased, the influence of the United States in the United Nations has also weakened.

The most concerned is the change in China's share.

In 2010, China paid only 2,667 per cent, in 2013 it was 537 per cent, and now it has risen to 17 per cent. In addition to showing that China's economy has grown rapidly in the past few years and its share in the world economy has increased significantly, it also shows that China is willing to assume and fulfill its responsibilities as a major country.

If it is just a fee, I am afraid that few countries are willing to be the "big head".

The UN Secretary-General has just announced the assessment of contributions, and this reporter immediately made a comparison between the changes in China and Japan.

Japan's share of contributions ranged from 2004 to 2013. 1963%, 1946%, 186%, 182% respectively. It is gradually decreasing. Now it's down sharply to 129%. In addition to showing that Japan's share of the world economy has been declining, and the decline has been most pronounced in recent years. It also shows that Japan's efforts to become a permanent member of the Council have encountered significant difficulties.

For more than a decade. Japan has been working hard to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

In the words of many former Japanese prime ministers: as the second national conference bearer. It is inconceivable that Japan is not a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

Right now. This argument is untenable.

Midday. Dozens of television stations around the world have focused on the United Nations assessment of contributions. More than a dozen TV stations have also invited special commentators. Comment on changes in United Nations contributions.

There is only one focus: whether China is preventing Japan from becoming a permanent member of the Security Council.

The conclusion is clear: China's nearly twofold share of contributions is intended to prevent Japan from becoming a permanent member of the Security Council.

Journalists outside the United Nations headquarters are not leaving, as the Council is holding closed-door consultations on the addition of two permanent members.

According to the agenda of the United Nations, the Security Council will first determine the two new permanent members, and then the General Assembly will vote. Because this is not an election, the Council has nominated only two countries. Although the nomination of new permanent members of the Security Council is a "matter of procedure" and the five permanent members do not have the right of veto, when the permanent members disagree on whether it is a "procedural issue" or a "substantive issue", the issue can be identified as a "substantive issue" and thus have the right of veto. In other words, as long as China opposes it, Japan cannot become a permanent member of the Security Council.

Closed-door consultations lasted from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The press spokesman of the Council then announced that a press conference would be held in half an hour. Journalists who had already gathered at the United Nations press centre immediately lifted their spirits and prepared for the live broadcast. The rear studios of major TV stations also immediately adjusted their program arrangements to reserve time for on-site reporting.

At 6:20 a.m., the well-informed N TV station released a news report announcing that the Council's closed-door consultations had ended in failure, and that the five permanent members had failed to agree on the issue of new seats. The "procedural issues" have been transformed into "substantive issues", and the Council will hold a second round of closed-door consultations in the near future.

Ten minutes later, the Security Council press spokesman made the same announcement.

Because of the serious differences between the five permanent members on the obligations, powers, and privileges of the new permanent members, the issue of adding two new permanent members has been put on hold for the time being, and the Security Council will hold discussions and consultations on the issues of increasing the number of members of the Security Council and amending the statute of the Security Council in the near future.

While Japan's door to becoming a permanent member of the UN Security Council has not been blocked, almost all commentators agree that Japan has largely lost the opportunity to become a permanent member of the Security Council.

When the outside world was in an uproar, Ji Youguo had a brief consultation with Jappel.

As speculated, Jiang Yuchen, the permanent representative of the Republic to the United Nations, voted against the Security Council, saying that the addition of permanent members was a "matter of substance." Immediately, Jiang Yuchen put forward a proposal to increase the number of non-permanent members of the Security Council from 10 to 14 and to amend the statute of the Security Council.

Facing the confident Ji Youguo, Japel also had to concede three points.

At 6:45 p.m., as soon as the Chinese delegation led by Ji Youguo walked out of the UN Headquarters building, a large group of reporters threw questions across the cordon:

"Your Excellency, can you explain the reason why China's share of contributions has nearly tripled?"

"Your Excellency, is China willing to make greater contributions to international affairs in the future?"

"Your Excellency, will China exert greater influence in the United Nations in the future?"

……

"Everyone......" Huang Guowei came out to block Ji Youguo, "Everyone, we will hold a press conference later, and we will not answer any questions now." ”

In the face of more than a dozen wolf-like bodyguards, reporters still rushed forward one after another without fear.

An American female reporter with a delicate body, but extremely bold and explosive power, broke through the cordon built by the bodyguards and handed the microphone to Ji Youguo. "Your Excellency, did China veto the Security Council prevent Japan from becoming the new permanent member?"

Ji Youguo took two steps and suddenly stopped.

"Führer, ignore the journalists." Huang Guowei immediately grabbed the Führer's arm. Ji Youguo is not an ordinary person, his words represent not only the individual, but also the republic. If you accidentally say something wrong, you will become someone else's handle.

Seeing Ji Youguo's intention to answer the question, the female reporter used her strength to eat milk and leaned over again. "Your Excellency, can you answer the question I started?"

Very provocative, but also very ulterior motives.

"You don't need to answer your question at all, I just want to say," Ji Youguo got rid of Huang Guowei's hand and said with a serious expression, "If a country doesn't even have the courage to face history, admit its mistakes, and dare to apologize, what qualifications does it have to become a permanent member of the Security Council?" ”

The onlookers suddenly quieted down, and taking this opportunity, Huang Guowei pulled Ji Youguo into the car.

Before the convoy left, the pan exploded outside the United Nations Headquarters building. No matter how the reporter understood Ji Youguo's words, they had to send the news back as soon as possible and let the host and special guests in the studio comment on it.

Escorted by the U.S.-arranged Führer Guard, Ji Youguo's sedan entered the Queens-Middleton Tunnel and headed for Long Island.

"Führer, you shouldn't be verbose with reporters at first." Huang Guowei is a little big. Although he has not seen the news report, he is well aware of the ability of Western journalists to "make trouble".

"Did I say something wrong?" Ji Youguo smiled faintly.

"This ......," Huang Guowei sighed, "No matter what you say, there is always someone who can judge some tricks." If I'm not mistaken, the n, BBC news presenter is commenting on what you started saying, and the major newspapers will be reporting on it early tomorrow morning. ”

"Can you be on the cover of Time magazine?"

Huang Guowei was stunned for a moment and said, "Führer, you're not joking, are you?" ”

"It's a joke indeed." Ji Youguo laughed, "You don't have to worry, others can comment as much as they like." Have we been commented on for decades? '**' has been fried in a different way for decades, and whether there is a 'threat' is not fried by others, but whether we have the strength to do so. ”

"But that's not a good thing after all."

Ji Youguo shook his head slightly and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Huang Guowei didn't speak, he knew Ji Youguo's character too well.

"Whether the 'threat' is a good thing or a bad thing cannot be easily concluded. The United States poses the greatest threat to other countries and has the greatest contribution to the world. In my opinion, the other side of 'threat' is 'contribution', and the essence of 'contribution' is strength. Without strength, who can we threaten? With strength, are we still afraid of the 'threat theory'? ”

Huang Guowei no longer argued, and he also agreed with Ji Youguo's words.

As the foreign minister of the Republic, Huang Guowei knows best the role that strength plays in international exchanges.

"When you hold a press conference, you can give some information appropriately." Ji Youguo touched his chin, "After we vetoed the proposal to add new permanent members, Japel had no choice but to agree to increase the number of non-permanent members. It's just that the United States will not passively accept our proposal, and will definitely do tricks and create incidents. You need to respond to the challenges with a positive attitude and consolidate the diplomatic gains you have just made. ”

"I'll be careful."

Ji Youguo nodded and glanced at his watch. "Let the driver drive faster, we're almost late."

The convoy picked up speed and after passing through the Queens district, it headed east along the Central Highway towards the villa area.

Damn it*

On the shelves on October 1st, I hope for an October monthly pass, and I beg for a recommended collection!.
