UN GATE, August 1
– When China took over
presidency of the UN Security
Council on August 1, 2022 its
Ambassador Zhang Jun first
said he gave
a fan to his 14
counterparts to cool things
off. Then he said any response
by China's military to a Nancy
Pelosi visit to Taiwan would
be legitimate. Inner
City Press video here.
He
started late and by the 5 pm
deadline took only six
questions, two from Chinese state
media and one from Russia. The
other three were hardly
better, with Zhang Jun
predicted, correctly, that the
question(s) would be friendly.
There was nothing
on the UN's "peacekeepers"
killing civilians in DR Congo.
Zhang Jun bragged about just
meeting with Antonio Guterres
and having a "common agenda."
Common indeed.

in the footnotes, much less
Cameroon or Haiti.
