you cannot "veto" embargos my friend - if a country does not want to sell something to another country then it just stops. Also to veto on the UN council you have to be a permanent member or one of the random rolling members (anyway i actually think they got rid of the veto because of margaret thatcher). Personally i simply think china cannot economically afford to do anything like that. Hmmm i wonder what war with china would be like... start of a new thread?
