Ep.16 The Coronavirus and China in the Hot Seat at the UN

The coronavirus -- COVID-19 -- outbreak is on everyone's minds
right now, and the United Nations is no exception. As China assumes
the Security Council rotating presidency for March and tries to
stay focused on its top priorities, we look at how the outbreak has
affected Chinese diplomacy here in New York and how it led to
limiting the biggest annual women's rights meeting in the world,
the Commission on the Status of Women, to just one day, on March 9.
A Hong Kong-based China expert, Dr. Courtney Fung, joins us to
provide her insights on China's diplomatic handling of the virus so
far and the country’s long-term foreign policy strategies at the
UN. ----- Support for UN-Scripted comes from the Institute of

believes governments alone can’t be expected to stop corruption.
Their latest research shows that well-designed, citizen-led
programs to strengthen transparency and accountability can produce
better outcomes than state-led initiatives.. PTF’s report has
practical recommendations for how empowered, engaged, and
professional non-government actors can advance Sustainable
