UN GATE, August
14 – When China took over
presidency of the UN Security
Council on August 1, 2022 its
Ambassador Zhang Jun first
said he gave
a fan to his 14
counterparts to cool things
off. Then he said any response
by China's military to a US
Congressional visit to Taiwan
would be legitimate.

Now a
second visit, by Senator Ed
Markey and Rep. Aumua
Amata Coleman Radewagen, a
delegate from American Samoa,
and House members John
Garamendi and Alan Lowenthal
from California and Don Beyer
from Virginia.
Meanwhile
China during its two weeks
running the Security Council
has done nothing on Ukraine,
and not answered Press
questions. Guterres is no
better.
Back
on August 1 Zhang Jun started
late and by the 5 pm deadline
took only six questions, two
from Chinese state media and
one from Russia. The other
three were hardly better, with
Zhang Jun predicted,
correctly, that the
question(s) would be friendly.
There was nothing
on the UN's "peacekeepers"
killing civilians in DR Congo.
Zhang Jun bragged about just
meeting with Antonio Guterres
and having a "common agenda."
Common indeed.
Inner City
Press tweeted the month's
Program of Work, here
- nothing on Ukraine, not even
in the footnotes, much less
Cameroon or Haiti.
Inner City
Press will be covering the
month.
