GENEVA (AN) — China raised its donations for World Health Organization efforts against the COVID-19 pandemic to US$50 million on Thursday, just a week after U.S. President Donald Trump halted U.S. funding to the U.N. health agency.
The decision to donate another US$30 million to WHO on top of a US$20 million donation last month showcased China's apparent use of international organizations such as the United Nations and its affiliate agencies as an emerging battleground for strategic rivalry to the United States.
