Memorandum of Cooperation Signed by UN and China

China will eventually replace the United States for influence in the world.

If you haven't followed it much, the world power that is "everywhere" in the world today is China. They are in Africa, South America, East Asia, etc. Most of this has been an economic expansion of their business posture. They are today, what the United States once was to developing countries, bringing investments and expertise to these areas of the world.

This same type of outreach is embodied in this type of agreement, China, UN Migration Sign Cooperation Pact on Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response.
