China deserves to play a bigger role in the UN

After the G20 Summit in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, and the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, it's time to think how Beijing can help reform global governance further.

China has taken many proactive measures in recent years that the international community responded well to, but it could now go the extramile and turn the new project-based initiatives into institutional organizations based in China under the UN framework.

The world is becoming multi-polar and China has become an influential player, contributing hugely to global growth. And because the West is not sincere about keeping its promise of allowing China to play a bigger role on the world stage, China has taken (and has to further take) more proactive measures to propel globalization. Global governance today does not fully reflect China's true global role because most of the important international cooperation, security, trade and financial institutions are located either in the United States or Europe.
