China settled the entirety of its debt to the United Nations Organization, demonstrating full compliance with its financial obligations to the international organization.

The United States, on the other hand, continue with pending payments. According to the article, 625.7 million euros are still "in process" of payment by the American side.

The total value owed by the USA to the UN is around five billion dollars, which corresponds to approximately 4.32 billion euros.

The difference in compliance with financial obligations between the two powers arises in a context of geopolitical tensions and debates about United Nations funding.
