In this episode of Inside Geneva we take a look at the shifting influences in the United Nations – especially with regard to China. 

As the United States slowly withdraws from the multilateral system and focuses on its ‘America First’ policy, China appears to be filling the political vacuum.

In this edition of our Inside Geneva series, host Imogen Foulkes is joined by analyst Daniel Warner, China watcher Meg Davis from the Graduate Institute, and Sarah Brooks from the International Service for Human Rights.
