Claim: Without the vote of the world's most populous country (China), United Nations Security Council Resolution 430 in Cyprus was still adopted in 1978.
Evidence: United Nations Security Council Resolution 430, adopted on June 16, 1978, noted a report of the Secretary-General that, due to the existing circumstances, the presence of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus would continue to be essential for a peaceful settlement. The resolution was adopted by 14 votes to none; China did not participate in the voting. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.4 billion in 2019.
