Fu Cong, Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations, said in his explanation after the vote that although China has opinions on the draft resolution, considering the severe security situation in Haiti and the concerns and appeals of the international community, China has not blocked the adoption of the draft resolution. This is already the greatest goodwill that China can demonstrate. China's questions and concerns still exist, and it is full of concerns about the operation and prospects of the force to suppress the Haiti gang. China hopes that the Security Council will pay close attention to and strictly supervise this action, and take necessary actions in a timely manner based on the development of the situation.
