China sold their UN vote on the Persian Gulf war to not veto the Persian Gulf War, which began the genocide of Iraqis.
China, which had usually vetoed such resolutions authorizing action against a state, abstained in exchange for a promise from the US government that sanctions would be eased,[4] and that the Chinese foreign minister would be received in the White House
United Nations Security Council Resolution 678 - Wikipedia

China supported the two blank checks to the USA - the cease-fire agreement and the 2002 UN Iraq War vote that give the USA "justification" for their war on Iraq.
China voted for this UNSC resolution against Iraq:
The most important part of the resolution was the concluding paragraph 34, which required that "[the Security Council]...[d]ecides...to take such further steps as may be required for the implementation of the present resolution and to secure peace and security in the area." This statement was widely interpreted as "obey or we will force you to by all means necessary." This text was used by the United States as a justification for the 1996 bombing of Iraq, 1998 bombing of Iraq, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, on the basis that Iraq refused to comply with various United Nations resolutions, in order to maintain peace and security in the Persian Gulf region.
China voted for this UNSC resolution against Iraq in 2002:
offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for the subsequent US invasion of Iraq
China sold out Iraq to maintain beneficial business relations with the USA. To make money, as Iraq was bombed.
Here was Europeans, opposing the Iraq War.

Those behind the Iraq War were the US and UK. The cia and mi6. Russia gave the USA a blank check with China in the UNSC.
If you're going to quote, do the whole thing rather than cherry-picking; the U.S. blackmailed others for support using economic penalties and other means. So other hands aren't as clean. Anyways, enjoy the war on European borders. Let's, not anyone forget Ukraine sending forces into Iraq very eagerly; now the chickens come home to roost for them, and may they come home to roost for the others.
Various members of the council were rewarded with economic incentives as a result of their 'yes' vote, and those who initially opposed the resolution were discouraged from voting 'no' with the idea of economic penalties, particularly by the United States.[6] The U.S. successfully obtained a commitment from the Saudi government to provide $1 billion to the Soviets in aid through the winter.[7]
After Yemen voted against the resolution, the U.S., World Bank and International Monetary Fund halted aid programs to Yemen, and Saudi Arabia expelled Yemeni workers.[8] Following the U.S. government's fruitless effort to persuade the Yemeni government to support the resolution, U.S. diplomats bluntly informed Yemeni officials "That was the most expensive no vote you ever cast"—referring to ceasing more than $70 million of U.S. government foreign aid to Yemen.[9]
