US, China will work together to block plan for revised UN

The US and China have agreed to work together to block a plan to expand the powerful UN Security Council backed by Brazil, Germany, India and Japan, China's UN ambassador said.
Wang Guangya (???) said he reached the agreement with John Bolton during a meeting Tuesday, which was the new US ambassador's first full day in his new post, because both believe the proposal by the so-called Group of Four would divide the UN's 191 member states.

Washington and Beijing are already on record as opposing the G4 resolution for different reasons, but the agreement would mark a new joint effort to prevent its approval by the UN General Assembly, which requires a two-thirds "yes" vote.

Bolton and China working together. We've been slipping into a third world status, this should slide us into one. Say good bye to America. Bushco sold us out.

Largely on the basis of piss poor health care, education, and consumer technology.

It's very sad.

I'd be surprised if he has a high school education, given that he's dumb enough to associate marijuana with Islamist terrorism.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali was much too uncooperative and seemed to think all those high-tone principles were supposed to be acted on. Kofi understands the importance of expediency when money and power are at stake.
