                      (240221) -- BEIJING, Feb. 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Zhang Jun (C, Front), China's permanent representative to the United Nations, speaks in an explanation of vote after voting for a Security Council draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, at the UN headquarters in New York, on Feb. 20, 2024. Following the U.S. veto on a Security Council draft resolution that would have demanded an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza, the Chinese envoy said Tuesday that objection to a cease-fire in Gaza is nothing different from giving the green light to the continued slaughter.
