China has taken an increasingly prominent role in issues relating to Haiti at the UN in recent years – primarily over Port-au-Prince’s recognition of self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing views as its own territory.

“The situation in Haiti can’t be worse. As we conduct the negotiations here, the gang violence is escalating in Port-au-Prince,” a spokeswoman for the Chinese mission to the UN said.
