作为中国常驻联合国副代表,戴兵在联合国第 78 届联合国大会行政和预算委员会 (第五委员会) 常会上指出,会费大国长期欠费是造成联合国流动性危机的主要原因。
长期以来,中国在联合国会费方面一直扮演着负责任的角色。然而,最近几年,由于一系列复杂的原因,中国企业在联合国会费缴纳方面出现了困难,导致了中国在联合国的话语权受到一定程度的影响。
事实上,联合国资金来源主要依靠会费,每个国家的会费缴纳义务是根据其联合国会员国的地位和人口规模等因素进行分配的。而中国作为联合国安理会常任理事国之一,其在联合国会费缴纳方面本应承担更大的责任。
值得关注的是,目前中国所缴纳的联合国会费比例已从上世纪 80 年代的最高峰 (占总会费的近 30%) 下降到现在的约 12%。中国代表认为,虽然中国会费缴纳比例有所下降,但仍然远高于很多其他发展中国家。
针对流动性危机问题,戴兵表示,解决这一问题的关键是所有联合国会员国都应该履行其缴纳会费的义务,包括中国。只有这样,联合国才能更好地实现其全球治理使命,应对全球性挑战。

As the Chinese representative at the United Nations, Mr. Dai 兵 mentioned that the chronic lack of payment by some countries, including China, is the main reason for the liquidity crisis at the UN.
For a long time, China has played a responsible role in the UN budget process. However, in recent years, due to various complex reasons, Chinese companies have had difficulty in making payments for their UN subscriptions, leading to a certain degree of impact on China’s voice in the UN.
In fact, the UN’s main source of funds comes from assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states, with the distribution of these funds based on factors such as the position of each country in the UN and its population size. As one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, China is obligated to contribute more significantly to the UN budget.
Notably, China’s share of UN assessed and voluntary contributions has decreased from its peak in the 1980s (accounting for nearly 30% of the total) to around 12% today. China’s representative believes that while China’s share of assessed and voluntary contributions has decreased, it still far exceeds that of many other developing countries.
In addressing the issue of liquidity crisis, Mr. Dai 兵 said that the key to solving this problem is for all UN member states to fulfill their obligations to pay their assessed and voluntary contributions, including China. Only by doing so can the UN better achieve its global governance mission and respond to global challenges.
