Bolton Helps China Block UN Reform

Oh I just love this:

Beijing will work with the United States to block a plan to add new permanent members to the UN Security Council, China's UN ambassador says.
Wang Guangya said he agreed the deal with the new US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, at a meeting.


After all the rightwing crap about Chinese bids for oil companies or how China is such a massive threat to the US and after all the crap about the need for UN reform and Bolton being the man for the job, his first major action is to ally with the Chinese to block reform. It all comes down to keeping the power you have, in the end. Lovely.
