August 2022: CHINA'S Keeping "Cool" in the Security Council

As Council president in August, China wants to keep the UN body
"cool" -- literally and figuratively -- by navigating the fine line
of maintaining its closeness to Russia while not souring relations
too much with the West, discussing global "security" without
mentioning any of its own human-rights problems and regional
territorial claims and championing a no-tie look and distributing
Chinese fans to Council ambassadors amid limited air-conditioning
in UN headquarters . We are joined by Richard Gowan, the UN
director of the International Crisis Group, a nonprofit
organization. Links: PassBlue's website: www.passblue.com Twitter:
