China Blocks US Hormuz Resolution at UN Security Council

🇺🇳 BEIJING — Xi just bought Boeing jets and vetoed Washington's Hormuz fix in the same week. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: China's UNSC veto kills the US resolution's legal architecture for Hormuz reopening — while Beijing already extracted a vessel carve-out bilaterally. Xi gets both: block multilateral pressure on Tehran and pocket private access. Washington loses the UN legitimacy layer. Tehran gains a shield. Gulf states learn the summit produced Chinese protection, not shared rules.
