If the United Nations ran Instagram, they would ban any discussion of human rights in Hong Kong, because China is a veto member.


And the US would ban any discussion on Guantanamo and CIA torture. What's your point?

It should be run independently, like the WHO, not directly under the power of the security council. And before you say Taiwan, the Republic of China is not a UN member, and there's nothing the UN or WHO can do about it, it's between China and them.


I am unfamiliar with cases where the US prevented CNN (or others) from discussing Guantanamo.

I am familiar with the extreme lengths China would go through to prevent discussion on topics it hates though (e.g. if HN was based in China both of our comments would have been deleted immediately)
