He Wenping, director of African Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said the veto shows China’s confidence in foreign affairs. “A country expressing its true opinion ---- that’s progress. China opposes the use of the threat or force to achieve regime (政权) change in other countries. This agrees with China’s long-standing diplomacy principle. It is also not acceptable for China to rush a U. K. vote without sufficient discussion.”

　　So why did China use its veto this time?

　　China’s critics say China’s veto of the U.N. draft proposal was in part due to Beijing’s fear that allowing a regime change in Syria could encourage the spread of the Arab Spring will happen in China,

　　He Wenping disagrees, “China has a completely different political system and economic development path. If someone in the international community thinks that the Arab Spring will happen in China, then I think they misjudge the situation in China, exaggerate some problems in the Chinese society and underestimate the ability of the Chinese government to control the situation in China. ”

　　Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　　China often uses its veto power on international issues

　　China never uses its veto power on international issues

　　China’s normal practice in the U.N. is to abstain rather than veto.

　　China should not have veto power in the U.N.
