I'm sure China would abide by this if it passed. This is definitely not a bad faith argument.

    Do you have anything to say other than completely unfounded claims based on nationalistic nonsense?

    Fair, I shouldn't have speculated like that. However, my argument is that the whole vote was a charade. If China knew the US was going to veto this, then their vote is meaningless.

    This isn't the security council, or anywhere else, where the U.S. has veto rights. This (the Third Committee) seems to run on "majority yes" voting (i.e. if enough vote yes, it is adopted).
