CCP Uses UN as Battleground to Confront US for Hegemony
Commentary
On May 7, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi once again talked about “multilateralism” at a U.N. Security Council video conference, using the U.N. as a battleground to confront the United States. The U.N. Security Council (UNSC) was originally meant to be a consultative mechanism to avoid conflicts and wars, but now the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mistakenly thinking that “the East is rising and the West is falling” flagrantly uses the UNSC to fight for hegemony, putting it in serious jeopardy.
Wang said that international rules are not the exclusive right or privilege of a few countries and should be made by everyone. Further, the world should not be divided along ideological lines.

James Cudmore, director of communications for Canadian Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair, didn t confirm the report to The Hill, but said the measures have been in place for more than a year and have been modified and strengthened over time to keep our communities safe from COVID-19. Alongside our counterparts abroad, we have extended the current measures until May 21, 2021, and they could be extended again.
ADVERTISEMENT As Minster Bill Blair has said, until we can be assured, based on the advice that we receive from our public health officials and our evaluation of those conditions is such that we believe that those restrictions can be lifted safely, we ll keep them in place, Cudomore continued. I expect the government will have more to say on this matter in the days ahead.
The Hagstrom Report
U.S. officials raised concerns with Canada’s dairy program during the first meeting of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Trade Commission on Tuesday, but there were no signs of progress on the issue of interest to the U.S. dairy industry.
During a call to reporters late Tuesday evening, a senior administration official said, “The dairy issue is one of our priority issues with Canada.” The senior official said that U.S. officials “made our concerns known to them” and “are looking forward to keeping in touch with them on those issues.”
The U.S. dairy industry has said that if the meeting did not result in an immediate resolution to U.S. objections to the Canadian dairy tariff-rate quota, Trade Representative Katherine Tai should initiate a dispute settlement case with the Canadian government.
