It's not about Gaza: Is UN real target of Trump's Board of Peace? China emerges as unlikely defender - The Times of India
Former US President Donald Trump’s proposed global peace initiative is drawing attention for reasons that go far beyond the Gaza conflict. While the plan is publicly framed as a roadmap to restore peace in conflict zones, analysts suggest its deeper objective may be aimed at reshaping global power dynamics—particularly targeting China. Surprisingly, Beijing has emerged as an unexpected critic and defender of the United Nations, warning against unilateral actions that could weaken international institutions. Chinese officials argue that peace cannot be imposed through dominance or selective diplomacy, stressing the importance of multilateral dialogue. The controversy highlights growing tensions between the US and China over global leadership, influence, and rule-making. Experts believe Trump’s approach reflects a broader strategy to challenge China’s rising role on the world stage rather than resolving regional conflicts alone. The debate underscores how peace initiatives can become tools in larger geopolitical rivalries.
