China: U.S. is Hypocritical When It Claims to Care About the People in Gaza, Yet Vetos Ceasefire Resolutions at the UN

Chinese envoy to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, criticized the United States for blocking a Security Council resolution to call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war. Image via the Chinese mission to the United Nations.

Chinese diplomats and Communist Party (CPC) media outlets blasted the United States for what it calls a double standard of claiming to be concerned about the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza while at the same time vetoing ceasefire resolutions at the United Nations.

“It is extremely hypocritical to tolerate the continuation of the conflict while paying lip service to the protection of human rights,” wrote the CPC-run tabloid Global Times in response to the U.S. veto on Friday that called for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” to millions of Palestinian civilians in Gaza who’ve been battered by weeks of Israeli bombings.
