China UN Envoy Opposes US-Bahrain Hormuz Resolution

China’s UN ambassador Fu Gong publicly opposed a US‑Bahrain draft UN Security Council resolution on the Strait of Hormuz.
The resolution demands Iran cease attacks and mining operations in the strait, but China argues the measure lacks appropriate content and timing.
Diplomats expect Russia and China to veto proposal if it reaches a vote, as they did with a US‑backed draft month ago.
China, serving as current UNSC president, says it will not arrange a vote without a formal request, urging serious, good‑faith negotiations.
