[Breeze] Use China as a cash machine? China pays hundreds of millions of membership dues to WHO every year, but since the United States announced its withdrawal in January this year, WHO has been shouting that there is no money every three days. Just three days ago, this organization also suggested that countries should increase their membership dues by 20% next year and next year. This shows that it is clear that they want others to fill the hole for the United States?
When the U.S. pulls out of the WHO, the financial chain is instantly tight, China is steadily paying hundreds of millions of membership fees, but the eyes of the organization scream poverty, is there anyone behind this want us to fill the pit?
WHO operates on membership and voluntary contributions, which are mainly spent on vaccine research and development, disease monitoring and health policy. The United States has been the top donor in the past, hitting $12.8 billion in 2023, accounting for the budget headline. China, as a developing country, will spend hundreds of millions annually, $1.8 billion in assessed contributions from 2024 to 2025 and additional donations and technical assistance to support global projects.
On January 20, President Trump signed an executive order announcing the withdrawal from the World Health Organization, accusing the organization of paranoiding certain countries and trying to save money. Under the domestic outbreak surplus, the responsibility was pushed to international institutions. After the withdrawal, the United States paid less than $6.5 billion annually, the budget lost 16% to 18%. The WHO headquarters was tight, and the budget deficit rose.
The withdrawal of the United States has tied the WHO capital chain. Not long after the exit, the leadership held a meeting to complain, and the project had to shrink. In April, a gap of nearly US $1.9 billion was announced, warning that the global health emergency was out of chain. Before the World Health Assembly in May, countries negotiate plans.
On May 20, the 78th World Health Assembly passed a $4.2 billion budget, including a 20% increase in membership fees, distributed according to the economic size. China's economy is large, the membership fees are large, but it has been paying enough to support the distribution of vaccines. China will immediately announce an additional $500 million in the next five years to fill the gap and become the largest national donor.
Organize the adjustment of spending and cut off unnecessary projects. Start investment recruitment in June to find donors. Growing pressure in developing countries, fiscal recalculation. Global health collaboration is hindered, monitoring response is slow.
China opposes the fee increase, saying it will increase the burden on developing countries. The United States is regarded as a burden. The sharing mechanism does not take into account the per capita income gap, and many countries feel unfair. WHO wants to operate steadily, but the gap forces projects, such as disease surveillance, to stop. During the epidemic, China donated vaccines and technology to help many countries tide over difficulties.
China's representatives spoke against a 20% increase, indicating that the United States' withdrawal from the country has increased injustice. In the second half of 2025, the gap has shrunk, and countries have talked about the redistribution mechanism. The United States emphasizes its own interests and weakens international cooperation. China's aid stabilizes projects, but public health threats need to be borne.
While global health governance is more equitable, China promotes multilateral cooperation to ensure that the voices of developing countries are heard. The withdrawal of the United States highlights the harm of unilateralism. WHO needs diversified funds and avoids relying on a single country. China adheres to the image of a responsible big country and maintains global public health through donations and technology sharing. The unity of developing countries can promote institutional reforms and make assessment of contributions more reasonable.
China's experience has proved that win-win cooperation is the right way, single-handedness will only disrupt. Public health has no borders, the US withdrawal affects everyone, must collectively respond. China continues to contribute strength, help the World Health Organization overcome difficulties, promote sustainable development.
