On December 8, the United States exercised its veto power at the UN Security Council, blocking a resolution that called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. 🕊️ This move has sparked criticism from China, with Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the UN, expressing deep disappointment. 🌍
\"It is extremely hypocritical to both tolerate the continuation of the conflict and pay lip service to the protection of women, children, and human rights,\" Zhang commented. His statement highlights concerns over what he perceives as inconsistent policies regarding humanitarian efforts and human rights protection.
