This is why the UN is a joke.

"China has blocked a UN Security Council statement condemning the military coup in Myanmar."

Myanmar expert Elliott Prasse-Freeman, of the National University of Singapore, told the BBC.

"Through this foreign policy equivalent of gaslighting, China seems to be signalling its tacit support, if not emphatic endorsement, for the generals' actions. China seems to be proceeding as if this is Myanmar's 'internal issue' in which what we are observing is a 'cabinet reshuffle,' as China's state media put it."

Why can't we listen to a few more political experts like the above guy - instead of on-the-take-from-China science experts all the time?
