Security Council split on N Korea (snip)
The United Nations Security Council is divided on how to address North Korea's ballistic missile testing last week.
On Monday, China's UN ambassador Wang Guangya circulated a draft statement condemning the tests, but making no mention of punitive sanctions. But the US, France and UK rejected it, choosing to support a Japanese draft resolution which includes sanctions. The BBC's UN correspondent Richard Galpin says division within the Council is becoming increasingly acrimonious. . .
According to our correspondent at the UN in New York, China and Russia, which both have the power of veto in the Security Council, believe that using a UN resolution to impose sanctions on North Korea at this stage would be irresponsible and unconstructive. Mr Wang said such action "could make the situation even worse" and that China was worried it could ultimately pave the way for military action against North Korea. . .
"China was worried it could ultimately pave the way for military action against North Korea. . ."
Hey, China, are you a man or a mouse? ;)
If I'm not is taken, the "Security Council" is still trying to agree on a suitable definition of the term "terrorist", this after ten of so years of debate.
"Mr Wang said such action "could make the situation even worse" and that China was worried it could ultimately pave the way for military action against North Korea. ."
Then China should quit playing games and stop Kim now, no excuses, no BS, just do it.
