This is a resolution saying humanitarian personnel in war zones should never be deliberately attacked.
The US was the only country to vote against.

I suspect that China knows that they can say whatever they want, and that they can do whatever they want, and that those two things have nothing to do with each other.
Saying they support humanitarian rights makes them look good.
They can sign any agreement or treaty or whatever. If it says human rights must be respected, well, that’s just ink on paper. It’s not like it’s going to change what they do in the least.
It’s more surprising that the US voted against this. Maybe it means the US ambassador to the UN is somewhat working against Trump to make him look like an amateur. Maybe it means that Trump weighed in on this directly, and this happened because he really is just that stupid.
The US has a long history of being the only developed country to not sign UN resolutions and similar global diplomatic treaties. So.etimes they push for the adoption but then dont sign themselves even
