Russia vetoed it, China abstained, and the US Security Council draft resolution had ulterior motives

It is not a good thing for the world that the countries concerned in the UN Security Council harm each other in the Security Council mechanism, including whether to deploy nuclear weapons in space, and these countries have no way to reach a consensus, which in itself brings great harm to mankind.

Let's take a look at the relevant news, Russia vetoed the US resolution in the UN Security Council on banning the deployment of weapons of mass destruction in space. The reason why Russia vetoed it is that it believes that the amendment in the resolution should be adopted. In fact, the amendment was jointly proposed by China and Russia, hoping to add some provisions, such as the prohibition of the permanent deployment of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in space. On the other hand, not only cannot nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction be deployed in space, but other weapons and equipment cannot be deployed, that is, we cannot militarize space and engage in an arms race in space.

Since the United States did not agree to such a so-called amendment, Russia vetoed the relevant bill put forward by the United States. In this vote, China abstained.

What we need to mention to you is that Russia's veto is due to the fact that the conditions of Russia and China have not been met. On the surface, the United States and Japan submitted a joint motion, and the joint draft resolution hoped that nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction would not be deployed in space, but in fact the United States gave itself the green light to allow the United States to militarize space and allow the United States to rely on its powerful space capabilities to turn space into a battlefield. I can not deploy nuclear weapons, but I can deploy conventional weapons, and this is also something that China and Russia do not want. In other words, what China and Russia hope to achieve is the demilitarization of space, while the United States only hopes for the denuclearization of space and the non-weaponization of mass destruction, which is the essential difference between the two.

Therefore, as China, Russia has maintained a consistent position on this issue.

But why did China abstain? The reason why China abstained was that China also agreed not to deploy nuclear weapons in space, which is also in line with the draft resolution proposed by the United States and Japan.
