This link provided the story that most members of the UN feared. After meeting for a recent conference to discuss global economics, the UN was said to have stated that the Chinese Government's goals were "unexpected and disconcerting".
"China is also on track to achieving the goals of reducing infant and under-five mortality and improving maternal health, the report notes.
But the report also calls for more attention to targets like achieving equal access to primary and secondary education for boys and girls by 2005, halting and reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015, halving the incidence of tuberculosis by 2015, and implementing national strategies for sustainable development by 2005 to reverse the loss of environmental resources by 2015.
It suggests targets that are behind schedule be put on track with more attention to balanced development."
This report states that China has achieved many of its goals in terms of betterment of its people, and improvement of living conditions to meet American Middle Class standards. However, it also aims to become the next largest burgeoning class for consumption and service implementation. What are the UN to do in a situation like this? Should Chinese policy be regulated by dominant existing countries in the United Nations, or should compromise be employed to help government officials modify the reckless abandon seen with some of their decision making bodies?
