The bit about this IV that annoyed me was the usually polite @margbrennan constantly talking over the Ambassador, and missing the bit where he used the word “complicity”, expanding on that would have helped unravel what is really happening with China here.

Whilst Russia is the villain here, the efforts by the US to tar others with this conflict, China, Eritrea and the numerous African nations which did not vote on the UNGA resolution are tone-deaf at best, and just remind the world of US’s own destructive wars.
The U.S.’s consistent posture as savior/guardian/scolder in chief wrt a world order which it pays scant/inconsistent service to does little to endear it in many parts of the world.
As for China, it is astonishing that the U.S. lacks the self awareness to listen to what China is offering by way of assistance in resolving this crisis, and instead considers this to be just another opportunity to be rude on the international stage.
