What he meant as I read it was imagine the big propaganda coup China could create, basically having their military do much of the UN missions, so you'd have Chinese communist soldiers going into all these Third World nations and making it look like China, and socialism, are "good."

Yes, this is the outcome I had in mind.
IIRC, the Soviets got a lot of mileage out of mocking the U.S. for its treatment of non-Europeans. What might the Chinese communists say today? Would the costs of countering the propaganda be greater or less than the costs of remaining in the United Nations and helping that institution reform itself?
