It would create six new permanent non-veto-wielding seats -- one for each of
the so-called G4 members and two for Africa -- and four non-permanent seats.
Washington instead would like to see only two permanent seats, including one
for Japan, and two or three non-permanent seats added to the council.
China is adamantly opposed to Japan gaining a permanent seat, arguing that
Tokyo must do more to show it regrets its militarist past.
In the interview with Xinhua, Wang reiterated that China supported reform of
the council but wants more seats for developing countries and a louder voice for
medium-sized and small countries, especially African nations.
