Was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 23 States 2016-2018 United Nations dues and assessments for peacekeeping assessments. Accordingly, over the next three years, China will take on 7.921% of contributions to the United Nations, peacekeeping assessments of 10.2%. In recent years, China's share of contributions to the United Nations and peacekeeping assessments increased sharply for the second time. Wang Min, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the following explanation:

First, assessments increased significantly enhanced its national strength, China is in the international institutional reflection. Scale of assessments is a reflection of their levels of economic development. China has become the world's second-largest economy, which determines China need more assessed United Nations dues and peacekeeping assessments. At the current level, China has become the second largest United States, and Japan's third largest contributor; after the United States's second-largest peacekeeping contribution. This is a country of significant development and growth in the Organization's financial problems reflect, is also an important symbol of China's international influence has increased significantly.

Second, the current scale of assessments fully consider China's position of developing countries. We have always advocated, China's total economy, low levels of per capita, still belong to the developing countries, this is an important basis for assessing China's ability to pay. We are firmly opposed to any assessments differentiated between China and other developing countries, and asked to take beyond the practice of paying dues. China claims the support of many countries. After lengthy consultations, States finally agreed to continue to keep China and other developing countries with low per capita income relief.

Third, the timely and full payment of contributions is the responsibility and obligation of China as a member of the United Nations. The United Nations is the world's most iconic, universal and authoritative inter-governmental international organization, in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development plays an important role. Finance is an important foundation for United Nations missions. We have said several times, as long as the contributions calculation method is fair, just and reasonable that China is willing to assume all financial obligations, and continues to take in peacekeeping assessments as the special responsibility of the permanent members of the Security Council.

Finally, we will continue to urge the United Nations to strengthen budgetary management. In recent years, the significant increase in the budget of the United Nations. But as long as it is the need to increase resources, the need to allocate funds, China has always supported. Meanwhile, we have always advocated, funded by the taxpayers of Member States of the United Nations, not every penny extra. We will continue to call for greater oversight and accountability in the budget of the United Nations to avoid wasteful, cherish and make good use of every penny of Member States.
