Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
China is a permanent member of the Security Council. The permanent members of the Security Committee have veto power. For any decision to be taken, the assent of all five permanent members and four non-permanent members is necessary. If even one of the five permanent member uses his veto i.e. gives a negative vote, the decision cannot be taken.
