The United States is pursuing reform at the United Nations, and its myriad affiliated agencies at a moment when competition inside it is intensifying. These reforms can change how the system operates—but not necessarily who shapes its outcomes.
Two decades of inconsistent U.S. engagement have created space for China’s growing influence across global multilateral institutions. That influence is not incidental. It reflects a sustained Chinese strategy of coalition-building, narrative shaping, and institutional positioning that converts presence into power. Nowhere is this more consequential than within the United Nations, where reform and geopolitical competition are now inseparable.
