RE Post #46 - FWIW - it's not all about the "one world" tithing, many countries cannot contribute $$ but do contribute personnel (military and non-military) and materiel to UN operations.

Do the Chinese appear to be paying their fair share?

Should countries who are paying less than their fair share be given seats on the Security Council and important positions?

Nope and no! Watch China closely you'll see that they're investing heavily and reaping the benefits of others contributions in Iraq, Afghanistan & Africa.
