Abstract: Over the last five decades, China has methodically permeated not only the various bodies of the United Nations but also several other global institutions. Most of these Chinese officials who are working in important positions at global institutions have been part of China’s party-state governmental organisations in the past and have worked in politically significant positions. China is present either as the head or a deputy position in almost all critical international agencies. Being a geopolitical and economic rival, such a huge presence of Chinese officials in important global bodies can have consequences for India. In view of this, the current research paper aims to highlight China’s efforts to hijack global institutions and their implications for India.
