This proves China is not worth trusting and is not worth a reliable partner. They have betrayed India. In fact, they have been allied to Pakistans for years so nothing is surprising. The Japanese say they are interested in the Indian market. Maybe the India-Russia-China trilateral relation should end cutting off relations with the double standard China and enhancing relationship with Japan and other south eastern countries as well.

New York, 3 June (AKI/DAWN) - Chinaâs ambassador to the United Nations has expressed support for the formula submitted by the âUniting for Consensusâ group (UFC) over the proposed expansion of the UN Security Council, saying "it has many good points". Talking to reporters following a UFC meeting at the Italian mission to the UN, Chinaâs ambassador Wang Guangya said clearly that China would âvetoâ the G-4 proposal to expand the Security Council, giving them permanent seats, when it comes up for approval by the five permanent members.
China, along with the United States, Britain, France and Russia, has veto powers in the 15 member UN Security Council, and any resolution which calls for amendment to the UN Charter would have to be approved by a two-thirds majority of the member states and approval by five permanent members of the Council.
The charter also stipulates that the amendment be ratified by the respective constitutional process by two-thirds of the members of the UN. Wang said that the draft resolution proposed by the G-4 - Japan, Germany, India and Brazil - was dangerous and divisive for the UN reforms process, as âit puts the whole membership into two groups.â
He expressed the hope that âthere is still timeâ to consult and âfind a good formula that could help security council expansionâ and have the broad support of all the members.
The âUniting for Consensusâ group led by Pakistan and Italy has consistently opposed more permanent seats in the expanded security council, instead they have proposed expanding the non-permanent slot of the council by 10 seats. As a compromise they have suggested that 12 of the 20 non-permanent seats could be made semi-permanent seats, with regional groups selecting their candidates for a period of three years instead of two.
