ICHEOKU says quitters don't usually win and winners don't ever quit. So why must America be forced out from an institution which it built by a just newcomer China. It does not make sense as no rational person abandons his dwelling simply because of pest infestation, you call pest control to exterminate the pests, period. America should have insisted on reforms and failing which it kicked China out of the World Health Organization but not the other way round. America should have brought her powers to bear over the organization and adamantly force a reform or nothing else goes on there. 
Why would America lament that China with its little contribution to the World Health Organization exerts total control over the institution which America founded. It sounds more like a failure on the part of America to protect its own house and it should not blame an opportunistic thieving China for stealing the control away from America. It is a failure of diplomacy and negotiations as well as lack of wielding the big stick. But will America's new policy be to continue running away, quitting and withdrawing from institutions which it allowed China to take over their control.
So, what if America is frustrated in the United Nations Organization, will America also quit and if, will they order the closure of the United Nations office in New York and ask them to leave? How about other organizations including NATO, WTO, IMF, World Bank etc? If America continues to quit from institutions just because China made them mad, will a time come when America would have inadvertently shut itself completely from the world. If it happens and the rest of the world decides to give America the middle finger and switch their allegiance to China, adopting China as the new world leader, where will this leave America.
What if the world boycotts every American product and turns to China as their new substitute supplier, will America survive it? What if the rest of the world says enough is enough and to hell with America, what will America's choice become then. Israel, one of the closest ally of America is now smiling at China and so is the United Kingdom, can America afford to also lose this two countries, afterall China could entice them with mouthwatering billions of dollars deals and investments just to woe and win them over away from America. What if the world switches their preferred monetary transactions away from the dollar to Chinese Yuan, what will America do?
In a world of nearly 8 billion people, it is not a very smart or wise choice to be going it obtusely alone with only 320 million people because the rest of the world's 7.7 billion people can easily outsource, out innovate and out produce America. Hong Kong is on the dinner table for China and so could Taiwan soon be too and a fully resolved China could become much bolder now and move to gobble the two territories. What will America without the rest of the world in tow with their support do to stop China. As always, running away from a problem is not the answer nor solution to the problem; you man up and solve it. If China is exerting too much control over the World Health Organization, then let America wrestle the control away from China, case closed. But, who knows what the ultimate game plan here is or could America be gradually withdrawing from the rest of the world and into its own cocoon, but for how long. #LetAmericaNotGiveUpWHO.
