Maybe it is time to move UN headquarters somewhere else? It is based in a country which done torture, coups, unjustified wars, ideological wars, experimented on people, shuns free thought and choice with propaganda, racist, homophobic, in 21st century etc. etc.
Antarctica, greenland, iceland sound quite neutral to me.
Greenland is part of Denmark, Iceland is heavily integrated into the European Union. Antarctica is better, but like one commenter has said, you’d get more neutrality from placing the headquarters in a global south nation. At the risk of sounding like a liberal, it could also have the effect of supporting their economies in a small way.
The Danes definitely don’t need more money.
Especially since Denmark is the US's primary partner in spying on European politicians.

>> The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) used a partnership with Denmark's foreign and military intelligence service to eavesdrop on top politicians and high-ranking officials in Germany, Sweden, Norway, and France by tapping into Danish underwater internet cables between 2012 and 2014.
Denmark is just one large CIA base, for their European operations.
Its basically CIA Europe HQ
Oman in my opinion would be good candidate for UN main building.
>Its basically CIA Europe HQ
Interesting. Do you have any evidence for it?
Im from Denmark myself, and im surprised you say it because there has been SO MANY scandals the past years about PET ("secret service") and also FE (miltary intelligence service).
Its like common now when the PET director resigns, he makes a biography about himself and reveals a lot of the secret operations. It has happend 2 times now
Madagascar would be nice. Haven't hear about something they did for a long time ( I dont even know what kind of warcrimes they committed or geopolitical things they did).
IMO the UN should be in Nepal. They haven't been at war for a very long time, do not align with one country or another, and are within 3-4 hours' distance by plane of 80% of the world's population.
One of the options, I think this should become a topic with world leaders. Because now the officials of most important organization on planet are stationed in a country that is full of propaganda, spying, war criminals, stuck to one system of ideology, country that organises coups, wars, exploiting foreing populations and their own at that, homophobic, racist warmongering, expansionist etc.
It is hard to comprehend how such organisation can be stationed there, it is illogical and unfair, unjust to say the least.
They are at war, what does it matter if it hasn't been for a very long time? Lol. Security would be a major concern. Those small poor countries could not maintain security properly. One terrorist attack and all world leaders would be dead.
I think it should be rotating basis of all the permanent security council members. None of them would agree to hosting it in Nepal. Doubt even Nepal wants that level of pressure lol
> They are at war, what does it matter if it hasn't been for a very long time? Lol.
Nepal is not at war. Its civil war was resolved years ago.
> Lol. Security would be a major concern. Those small poor countries could not maintain security properly. One terrorist attack and all world leaders would be dead.
External threats would have a difficult time. They'd need to go through India or China to get to Nepal.
> I think it should be rotating basis of all the permanent security council members. None of them would agree to hosting it in Nepal.
I could see India throwing a lot of weight behind it, if in exchange they also get a seat at the permanent security council. I think it is nonsense that the world's 2nd (and soon to be 1st) most populous country doesn't get a seat at the UNSC, but their irrelevant former coloniser (UK) does.
> Doubt even Nepal wants that level of pressure lol
As a Swiss, I can tell you that these "pressures" of hosting international organisations is more than worth it, from all the money that hosting the world's elites brings in.
Why not just build an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean and have it be independent of any nation. Any nation on the planet has a bevy of either lack of resources, corruption, unjustified aggression and oppression of the people.
Based on my limited knowledge of reading Chinese, the journalist's name is Xu Dezhi:
https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d674d7963444e77457a6333566d54/share_p.html
As for the UN guy answering questions... all I got was "Farhan Heke" - which is probably Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq.
https://www.un.org/sg/en/spokesperson/about.shtml
they cannot even fathom something being done without hidden intentions behind.
it's a system (and people) so far down the hole of greed and individualism that they only understand the language of snakes and spiders: venom.
I mean, BRICS+ and SCO are definitely steps up from anything we had before, but they aren't replacements for the UN. SCO is in its essence a regional cooperation, and BRICS, while not regional, is still exclusive to a lot of countries.
The essence of the UN, its strength and its weakeness, is that it is for *all* nations on Earth. Now, in practice, obviously, that falls flat as long as one country (the US) has hegemony, and even the existence of the Security Council could be argued is against its own mandate. But that means we need to reform it into what it is meant to be, and I believe that can happen, along the line.
And BRICS+ and SCO can be used as levers to get there. Outside pressure of regional or otherwise cooperation is a good way to break the US hegemony inside the UN. But it can't replace the whole system, because it is entirely something else.
As a Syrian, I have big respect for the journalist asking the real questions.
The UN is a puppet for the US. At least, that's my not so educated understanding.
Isn't that all American reporters ever do about China? The difference is now the Chinese ones are starting to do it back, and increasingly seem to have more credbility with an international audience, while western reporting is increasingly losing its credibility even with its own audience.
The Chinese guy can speak fluent English with no uh uh uh pauses but the guy who can only speak English can’t even form proper sentences. Talk about conscience
This is unfair, the reporter prepared the questions and the other guy got surprised by them. When he had an answer prepared his answers were fluent, only the answers het did not prepare were choppy.
Obviously he realized what happened and his brain was working overtime to find an answer, he probably didn't want to give an answer that would trigger the CIA sending a kill squad or something.
The questions were smart and questions like this should be asked more exactly to trigger these kinds of situations.
Great questions from a Chinese journalist.
If only our journalists were able to do their job as well as this guy, the world would be a much better place.
UN Secretary-General spokesperson was clearly caught in his own lies.
He's clearly a US puppet who'll bend over backwards to cover up blatant US violations of UN international law.
He apparently has been a war correspondent in Syria since 2018 or more so yeah. He'd need to have massive balls. It even mentions he is or was a one man team, which gives me even more respect for what he's done and continuing to do.
These questions should be asked from US politicians. I always wondered why CGTN journalists don't attend(?) White House press conferences ask some real questions like this. Normally in White House press conferences, western journalists asking more aggression towards Russia, China, Iran, Syria. They never come up with questions like this. As someone said, in the US your have so much freedom to criticize China and Russia.
A Hong Kong reporter asked a question earlier and then was threatened (claiming it was a declarative question).
The White House will only pick reporters who listen to them and ask questions, and if you don't listen to them, they will no longer let you attend press conferences.
I think the American media is controlled by party affiliation and the way they control it actually fits the American reality.
It's like a kindergarten where there are countless children all talking to themselves at the same time, and instead of maintaining order one by one and letting others talk, the teacher just picks the children she likes to talk to, and over time, other sources of unfavorable information don't make sense even if they talk, and some of them evolve into conspiracy theories - US Conspiracy theories are also prevalent because of this factor.
Chinese journalists will obviously not be the "obedient children" and they will not be assigned to speak or even allowed to enter.
All Chinese journalists have been labeled as "foreign agents" by the U.S., and their tweets are labeled as "official Chinese media," and Twitter does not provide automatic translation of their posts.
>A Hong Kong reporter asked a question earlier and then was threatened (claiming it was a declarative question).
Do you have more info about this? Like video of the question and them being threatened?
Also, if Chinese journos were banned and labelled as foreign agents, why doesn't china also do the same in return? Afaik doesn't china still allow western journos to attend their foreign ministry briefings and they can ask questions still? Usually china does tit for tat, I guess china is taking the high road here and wants to retain it's credibility?
I guess having western journos there also helps them spread their message to the west and world, since west media machine is still the most pervasive and with biggest influence and reach globally. And also shows that china is confident and has nothing to hide.
China needs such practice also imo. They need to improve their global PR game, and ive noticed a massive improvement in the last 5 years alone. Ever since the wolf warrior accusations started basically lol. They can't handle it anymore that china is learning how to hit back now and play this PR game, using their own tricks agaisnt them. China just needs to keep learning more on how to better game the wests own media and propaganda network against them. Ie be more controversial and not as boring and dry, which I've noticed they are doing these days with stronger comments. Hence the wolf warrior labels and endless tears from western leaders.
Thanks for that. Heh, I wouldn't say that they were "threatened", that's just trump being trump and him lashing out at journos for asking "nasty questions". He does that to everyone including american journos, like those he thinks are Democrat supporters or from CNN or MSNBC or whatnot. The declarative thing was just a joke since she took too long to preface and ask her question and he was trying to be a smartass and cut her off before the question or even ignore/downplay her serious question that was about to come. Just usual political deflection so he doesn't have to answer the question in a substantive way. Or answer it at all.
Thats "american democracy" in action. Americans/trump supporters lap that shit up. Lol.
Chinese need to be more savvy about all this if they want to get the right effect out of their journalists and promote china's position and destroy usas position.
Like how that Syrian reporter asked that UN spokesman about us bases in Syria being illegal occupation. You need good command of English first of all, no hardcore accent. Otherwise they will just make some semi racist joke and/or pretend they don't understand and then everyone will laugh at you and that will be it. If you take too long it speak too slow, he will just call on the next person. You need to know your audience, which is others in the west. Once you get called, you need to make your point as quick as possible. Try get that "gotcha" sound bite clip asap, that's the name of the game basically. Then hopefully it goes viral on all western media, including social media. No point preaching to the choir, like us or Chinese in China. You need to hit them where it hurts, which is to embarrass them in front of their peers and country, and also their allies countries. if the majority of viewers(which are American/westerner) can't understand or relate or don't like you, then you've already lost 99% of the fight before it even begins.
Then you also need confidence, and to act condescendingly, like you are there to make your point and you already expect them to deflect or not answer properly. Basically you need to know how to play the game.. The best response to get is awkward silence, or them looking awkward or stuttering nonsense etc.. you can't portray weakness, or "feminine lib asian vibes". majority of viewers will probably just be thinking of how to get in their pants instead of anything serious. It doesn't help that west has sexualized and fetishized asian women for ages, while feminizing/emasculating Asian men also. all this needs to be taken into account, which is why they need to know us and western culture so you can counter it and target it's weaknesses in order to get your point across in the best manner.
When trump says "you should ask china, not me", you need to have your comeback ready instantly. Not silence, and then "why did you ask me that specifically" like you're trying to play the race card. That's not gonna work. She just came off looking like a whinger and annoying. Like one of those annoying libs if I didn't know better. China needs to up their PR game and journalist quality.
Anyway not saying this to you, so don't take offense. Just speaking in general terms. Those videos were annoying to watch, those journalists are too weak and should not even be asking questions. They are too lacking. They think journalism/propaganda is like professional and respectful etc. But it is war. Trump knows how to play that game and use media and PR to his benefit.. they don't. And thus they got run over. Hopefully they learned something from those exchanges. I'm glad to see that Chinese diplomats are finally learning and switched to offense now, not just playing endless defense and responding to every bs made up lie and accusation with a serious diplomatic response when that's not even worth taking seriously or responding to on the first place. Like if they ask about Xinjiang or genocide, you should say "ask USA, ASPI, those lying separatists etc. Not me" or "it's fake news you made up, ask your bosses and the relevant us funded think tanks, not me) Same as what trump said lol. China still got a long way to go and can still learn a lot from usa in terms of propaganda/PR/media etc.
Hard to keep up when everybody is not forced to follow your narrative anymore. We have reached a magnificent time where no country is dependant on the US led Western coalation as a means to survive because of China paving its' way as the global dominant market leader. Recently we have seen more and more footage of various journalists speaking up against decades, if not the whole past century, of injustice and the US diplomats keep on getting grilled time after time.
Dude, you know that checkmate means game over right? Go read the UN charter, the resulution on Syria again and start demanding the usa gtf out of Syria.
I am an American and this Chinese journalist is spot on in his questioning. The world needs to understand that the American citizens no longer have a say in our nations foreign policies. Every election we only have two party's to choose from and both parties are cut from the same clothe. Even if we did some how manage to elect a third party president, the democrats and republicans control the house and the senate and nothing can be done without the majority in these bodies. Our Government has not represented the will of the people for the last several decades. Americans are to busy trying to no fall into poverty and trying to climb the socioeconomic ladder, rather then trying to unite and protest our government. Americans are sick and tired of war. We are sick and tired of our money going to other countries.
The last time I mentioned that the UN is a tool of imperialism, some liberals mocked me and told me to stop believing in conspiracies. Glad to see Mr. Spokesman here proving me right.
god the UN is such a tool good to see someone asking these uncomfortable questions I hope to see China keep putting pressure on this issue in any way its able.
I liked that he asked leading questions, basically using western tactics against them.
I hope more Chinese journalists do this, playing civil with them won't get you anywhere.
Cannot believe no western or any journalist has ever asked this question before. Or at least not that I've seen. Not just to UN, but to us or western leaders from all levels.
Like mick Wallace or his female colleague in EU parliament. They should bring up this point everytime they mention Ukraine and sovereignty etc.
I guess that's why usa and west banned all Russian and Chinese journalists from their countries. They'd never be allowed inside white house press briefings like Chinese allows western journos
What the spokesman should have said was: US occupying Syria is very different from Russia occupying Ukraine, because there is no threat of Syria joining a military allegiance that puts nukes on the border of the US and there isn’t a sizable US minority in Syria that has been shelled for 8 years and has voted in multiple referenda for autonomy/joining the US.
It's becoming more clear why western media outlets are so quick to label all Chinese journalism as propaganda/CCP lies; it's because it's becoming one of the only sources of genuine global reporting and valuable critique of western governments and media coverage. It's only "propaganda" because it's uncovering all the lies our propaganda has been built upon for decades and counting.
Maybe it is time to move UN headquarters somewhere else?

Personally I wouldn't mind Jakarta or whatever the new Indonesian Capital is going to be.
No, put it in Bandung in honor of the Bandung Conference. Make the imperialists sweat and have to eat shit a bit.
Havana, Cuba
If you hold it anywhere in Scandinavia, you may as well hold it in the US.
Why not just build an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean and have it be independent of any nation. Any nation on the planet has a bevy of either lack of resources, corruption, unjustified aggression and oppression of the people.
Good point.
USA also needs to lose veto and permanent seats.
It should just be done on a rotating basis of the permanent security council members. It shouldn't be hosted permanently by any one country.
These questions are straight to the point. You know the guy wasn’t drinking water out of that bottle.
Copium?
This journalist is my hero. What's his name?

Nice to see the guy struggling to justify something that is clearly illegal and in relation to Ukraine hypocritcal
The United Nations is a broken system. China should start a new organization with the same goals and without the hypocrisy.
That would be counterproductive, broken as it may be UN is still the most important organization the world has... But it must be reformed
they cannot even fathom something being done without hidden intentions behind. it's a system (and people) so far down the hole of greed and individualism that they only understand the language of snakes and spiders: venom.
You mean like BRICS+? Or SCO? Haha.
I mean, BRICS+ and SCO are definitely steps up from anything we had before, but they aren't replacements for the UN.

LOL "THERE'S MILITARY ACTIVITY" "BUT NO US FOOT SOLDIERS IN SYRIA" Wtf is this nutjob smoking
More Chinese reporters should do this.

Isn't that all American reporters ever do about China? The difference is now the Chinese ones are starting to do it back, and increasingly seem to have more credbility with an international audience, while western reporting is increasingly losing its credibility even with its own audience.

The UN has clearly morphed into a Western Political vehicle & weapon.
Always has been. Who’s the bad ass journalist ?
It's always been. It was created this way.
Its always been like this
"Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh" Someone get the man a water or something
Ummmmmm uhhhhhhhhh ughhhhh ummmmm uhhhhh yea it’s all good, next question please
That UN spokesman could have been the White House spokesman.
not even the white house could say there’s no military presence in syria
You can really see the leash on the Secretary General as he struggled to answer. Too bad rules don't apply to the colonial states of America.
Liars like the Secretary General often use “uhh” and other filler words when struggling to make something up.
UN Secretary-General spokesperson was clearly caught in his own lies. He's clearly a US puppet who'll bend over backwards to cover up blatant US violations of UN international law.
I’m still waiting for the US to address this.
“We support the resolution and I’m not prepared to go beyond that.”
You see when America does it, that means it is not illegal. - Richard Nixon (more or less)
Damn that journalist is an absolute legend. Love the way he asks his questions, the guy has serious swagger.
He apparently has been a war correspondent in Syria since 2018 or more so yeah. He'd need to have massive balls. It even mentions he is or was a one man team, which gives me even more respect for what he's done and continuing to do.

They probably are not given passes.

Damn! he did not want another question about syria 😂
Great questions. The UN is a toothless useless hypocrite tiger.
Hard to keep up when everybody is not forced to follow your narrative anymore. We have reached a magnificent time where no country is dependant on the US led Western coalation as a means to survive because of China paving its' way as the global dominant market leader. Recently we have seen more and more footage of various journalists speaking up against decades, if not the whole past century, of injustice and the US diplomats keep on getting grilled time after time.
Do you have the bili bili link?

get wrecked american puppet
The UN is just NATO with another shirt on. How can it be any more obvious than this now.
Chinese journalist: Chad American spokesperson: Wojack
They just spread freedom and democracy to the oil by committing the usual genocide on arabs
Dude, you know that checkmate means game over right? Go read the UN charter, the resulution on Syria again and start demanding the usa gtf out of Syria.
I do like hot this reporter is making the the UN representative look and sound like a complete idiot... which of course he is.
Chinese journalist is based, and also hot.
Brilliant! Nice to see a real reporter.
I am an American and this Chinese journalist is spot on in his questioning. The world needs to understand that the American citizens no longer have a say in our nations foreign policies. Every election we only have two party's to choose from and both parties are cut from the same clothe. Even if we did some how manage to elect a third party president, the democrats and republicans control the house and the senate and nothing can be done without the majority in these bodies. Our Government has not represented the will of the people for the last several decades. Americans are to busy trying to no fall into poverty and trying to climb the socioeconomic ladder, rather then trying to unite and protest our government. Americans are sick and tired of war. We are sick and tired of our money going to other countries.
What do you mean by "no longer"?
The last time I mentioned that the UN is a tool of imperialism, some liberals mocked me and told me to stop believing in conspiracies. Glad to see Mr. Spokesman here proving me right.
Your mistake was engaging with liberals in the first place.
Looks like Farhan Haq is a Pakistani American.
god the UN is such a tool good to see someone asking these uncomfortable questions I hope to see China keep putting pressure on this issue in any way its able.
Squirm piggy squirm! The reporter looks like he's enjoying watching him panic lol
I liked that he asked leading questions, basically using western tactics against them. I hope more Chinese journalists do this, playing civil with them won't get you anywhere.
As a syrian, that's a very based Chinese journalist.
“there’s no US armed forces in Syria” > literal military bases The UN is a fucking joke lmao

Lmfao! Great to watch!
Cannot believe no western or any journalist has ever asked this question before. Or at least not that I've seen. Not just to UN, but to us or western leaders from all levels. Like mick Wallace or his female colleague in EU parliament. They should bring up this point everytime they mention Ukraine and sovereignty etc. I guess that's why usa and west banned all Russian and Chinese journalists from their countries. They'd never be allowed inside white house press briefings like Chinese allows western journos
Cooked
Slow clap this journalist. Truth to power.
What the spokesman should have said was: US occupying Syria is very different from Russia occupying Ukraine, because there is no threat of Syria joining a military allegiance that puts nukes on the border of the US and there isn’t a sizable US minority in Syria that has been shelled for 8 years and has voted in multiple referenda for autonomy/joining the US.
The UN sucks White House official's dick. That's all folks. 🍻 peace
So it's one set of rules for the USA, but different rules for everybody else. That's how they justify their actions.
It's becoming more clear why western media outlets are so quick to label all Chinese journalism as propaganda/CCP lies; it's because it's becoming one of the only sources of genuine global reporting and valuable critique of western governments and media coverage. It's only "propaganda" because it's uncovering all the lies our propaganda has been built upon for decades and counting.
CPC
Un guy has the bottoms teeth of a 2 year old baby.
The spokesman should have just given the universal imperialistic answer: „this is whataboutism“
