The United States on Wednesday questioned whether China and Russia had elevated their “no limits” strategic partnership above global security by vetoing more United Nations sanctions on North Korea over its renewed ballistic missile launches.

“We hope these vetoes are not a reflection of that partnership,” senior US diplomat Jeffrey DeLaurentis told a meeting of the 193-member UN General Assembly in response to the vetoes in the Security Council two weeks ago.

During a right of reply in the General Assembly later on Wednesday, Chinese diplomat Wu Jianjian said China categorically rejected “presumptuous comments and accusations against China’s voting position.” Earlier on Wednesday in his speech to the General Assembly, China’s UN Ambassador Zhang Jun blamed a “flip-flop of US policies” for a renewed escalation of tensions, pushing Washington to take action.
