China called a resolution by Brazil, Germany, India and Japan to expand the U.N. Security Council _ and hopefully give them permanent seats _ "dangerous" and hinted it would use its veto power if necessary to block final approval. The language used by China's U.N. Ambassador Wang Guangya appeared to be the strongest yet by Beijing. Wang made clear in an interview with The Associated Press that China opposes any move to expand the council now because the 191 U.N. member states are deeply divided. Brazil, Germany, India and Japan _ known as the Group of Four or G-4 _ circulated the resolution on May 16 and have indicated they will put it to a vote by the General Assembly in June. "I think what has been proposed by G-4 is very dangerous, so as far as China is concerned, we will work with others to see that this will not happen," Wang said in an interview Tuesday. He said the resolution will split the U.N. membership, and if the G-4 push for a vote "the whole atmosphere in this house is being undermined, is being destroyed."
