The US government specifically has been declawed and dismembered by the current administration to the point of uselessness. The only time it’s willing to assert power is to enable the corrupt dealings of political appointees and lobbyists.

This is completely wrong.
Every other ad on TV in the US is preaching about how much Walmart/Amazon/Pepsi/etc. care about the environment/LGBT rights/safe working conditions/etc.
Western companies talk about their supposed values _all the time_, they're just mostly full of shit when they do.
The US government though has more power to resist such demands acting as a sovereign equal to the Chinese State.
You're wrong. Governmental institutions like the WHO have been influenced by China. The German government has been influenced: they have been reluctant to criticize China.
There is no magical governmental institution that is immune from this. If the president was a Democrat we'd be in this same situation.
