China is acting quite subtly.
People have described to me that it's playing games, that China is playing budget games with the U.N.,
The U.N.
is not a country.
It's not a company.
A country might be able to borrow money.
A company might be able to borrow money.
The U.N.
can't do any of that.
And it's run by a secretary general, a prominent person.
But in fact,
what the UN does is actually decided by its 193 member states, its countries.
And they are the ones that decide what it's supposed to be doing in terms of cutting budgets and spending money.
And because there are 193 countries, they want to spend money.
They don't want to cut it back.
And so it's a system of, as a senior person at the United Nations described it to me,
insanity.
It's a very difficult situation that they face.
By midsummer, they could be insolvent.
They could be facing a situation where more cash is supposed to be going out than is actually coming in.
