Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Zhang Jun speaks during a meeting of the UN General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York City, New York, US, on June 8, 2022.UNITED NATIONS — China's UN envoy said on Thursday that Beijing does not want to see North Korea carry out a new nuclear test, which is partly why China vetoed a US-led bid to impose new UN sanctions on Pyongyang over renewed ballistic missiles launches.
