Hong Kong media: Chinese representatives are trusted by international institutions

"South China Morning Post" June 20 article, original topic: China has successfully promoted the promotion of relevant Chinese -affredient candidates in Beijing to work hard to allow Chinese candidates to hold positions with international influence, and achieved another success: from 2017 Since then, Tang Yong has been one of the 21 members of the United Nations Continental Boundary Committee. Recently, he was elected as a member of the committee again. The committee is responsible for a decision on the claims of major economic and political significance. Since its establishment in 1997, Chinese experts have been served as members.

The committee was established in accordance with the Convention on the United Nations Marine Law (hereinafter referred to as the Convention "), and proposes to whether the coastal countries can make claims on the sovereignty of continental waters outside the economic exclusive area. Last month, China stated that it was opposed to the application of the extension of the extension of the Bird Reef continent submitted by Japan to the committee, saying that Japan's claims were "selfish for their own" and "violated international law."

(The successful re -election of Chinese candidates) reflects the international community's recognition of its qualifications and capabilities, and it is also a high affirmation of the International Marine Law, including the Convention, which adheres to the Convention, and adheres to the real multilateralism.

Tang is only one of the few Chinese officials in international institutions. Among the 15 specialized agencies in the United Nations, there are currently two -the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the International Telecom Alliance, led by the Chinese Director Director and Secretary -General. The other two international institutions -the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization -the head of the Chinese nationality who had just leaned away in 2021. Chinese representatives also serve as deputy or executives in other key international institutions such as the WTO, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Occasionally the appearance of Chinese members in international institutions can also cause controversy. Experts said that Tang Yong's successful reelection will help promote mutual understanding between China and the international community. Compared with Japan and South Korea, the number of Chinese citizens in international organizations is still small. (Author liu zhen et al., Ding Yan translated)
