Fu Cong, China’s ambassador to the United Nations, announced that China vetoed a Bahraini resolution urging states to coordinate efforts to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. He described the resolution as “unbalanced” and stated that it “only accuses Iran”.
Cong also criticised the timing of the resolution, calling it “very bad,” especially in light of recent remarks from US President Donald Trump that have sparked global outrage, where he threatened that “a whole civilization will die”.
The 15-member United Nations Security Council voted 11 in favour of the resolution, with Russia and China voting against it and two abstentions.
