China Saved Hamid Gul from UN Sanctions

China intervened to save Hamid Gul's neck from the UN sanctions noose, according to this article in the Christian Science Monitor:
India also sought to have the UN committee include on the list Hamid Gul, a retired Pakistani Army general who headed the country's main intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, in the late 1980s. However, China, a close ally of Pakistan that has veto power on the Security Council, apparently blocked Mr. Gul's inclusion.
This is why there needs to be Security Council reform. China will favour its cronies as long as it can get away with it.
