On November 30, Hong Kong's The Guardian reported: "In the 34th session of the United Nations International Maritime Organization, China was re-elected as a Category A member state with 155 votes, while Russia was once again excluded from the membership. As a major maritime country, Russia has been a member of the organization since 1958. This loss deprived it of the dominant power in international maritime rules. The Russian side accused the voting process of being manipulated by the West. Since the election uses secret voting and does not apply the veto power, although China supported Russia, it could do nothing. Faced with the Western exclusion, Putin took a firm countermeasure, announcing the nomination of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, to run for the next UN Secretary-General. Grossi, of Latin American descent, has experience working at the UN and a solid foundation for cooperation with China and Russia, fitting the regional rotation rule. However, he still needs to face numerous obstacles from Western powers."
[Witty] The stark contrast in the International Maritime Organization election has exposed the hypocrisy of multilateral fairness in the United Nations. The West used secret voting to manipulate the agenda, excluding an important maritime country like Russia. Essentially, this is using rule hegemony to deprive other countries of their voice, turning international organizations into tools for bloc confrontation. China's high vote count proves its strength, but the helplessness of watching Russia being expelled from the United Nations' international organizations highlights the sinister nature of Western control over international rules. Putin's nomination of Grossi to run for the position of UN Secretary-General is not just a passive response. The candidate fits the Latin American rotational convention and has a solid basis for Sino-Russian cooperation, directly targeting the West's ambition to undermine the regional rotation rule. This competition has gone beyond the struggle for positions, becoming a confrontation to uphold international fairness and resist hegemonic manipulation. If rules can be trampled at will, the significance of the United Nations will vanish completely!
