Beijing questions motive of US & co. in blocking UNSC proposal for Nord Stream blast probe

Dragon TV: In a vote early this morning, the UN Security Council failed to adopt a draft resolution on the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines put forward by Russia. What’s China’s comment? Mao Ning: The Chinese side made clear our position in the explanation of vote after the voting at the Security Council. The UN Security Council needs to step up to its responsibility for international peace and security. The draft resolution presented by Russia offers a meaningful option for the search for truth, yet the Security Council failed to agree on the draft. We express our regret and note that quite a few Security Council member states condemned the act of sabotage on the Nord Stream pipelines in their statements. Some called for speeding up the investigation and more transparency. This highlights the concern regarding the security of transnational infrastructure and the crucial importance of comprehensive, impartial, transparent and independent international investigations.  The US is usually enthusiastic about investigating developing countries, yet it has been hesitant to do so on an incident that seriously threatens international peace and security. This is typical double standard. What is the US afraid of? We hope the ongoing investigation will make progress and let the world know what truly happened soon, and that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.  __________________ ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality contents.
