The US withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has allowed China to step in and erode human rights from within, writes Frances Eve of the Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders. She said China successfully sponsored a resolution in 2017 which placed development above human rights, despite 12 nations voting against it, while in March, the US was the only UNHRC member to vote against a Chinese proposal about state sovereignty. Eve warned without the clout of the US, the remaining UNHRC would have to work harder to prevent China from advancing its own agenda.
