Umm no. That’s precisely the reason why the UNSC hasn’t been expanded. The P-5 have been ok with expansion in general, but not on veto powers, which is why the G-4 bloc (India/Germany/Japan/Brazil) haven’t accepted overtures.

They have not been OK with expansion. The Chinese have opposed a permanent seat for Japan. The US has not supported a permanent seat for Germany. The UN Security Council is anachronistic. It is based on the world as it existed in 1945. The PRC took the seat occupied by the nationalists. The G4 would accept permanent status even without a veto.

Japan and Germany are the 2nd and 3rd largest contributors to the UN. India and Brazil deserve a permanent seat. And there is no permanent representation from Africa. The current permanent five are unwilling to include any other countries as equals, which includes veto authority.
