The goal seems to be to reduce the WHO's influence, not China's.

The US funds about $118 million per year to the who (roughly double what China pays).

Trump's stupidity aside, I think it's hard to argue that the WHO didn't make serious errors and delayed various recommendations and warnings at the suggestion of China.

I think the questions we should ask is... "What are we paying 118 million per year for if they're going to lie to us during the biggest outbreak in modern history?".
