China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has issued a stark warning to the UN Security Council, urging it not to legitimize unauthorized military operations. In a statement released by Xinhua, Wang emphasized that UN actions must not escalate conflict or provide legal cover for such operations.

This development comes amidst other notable signals. The People's Bank of China has conducted significant open market operations, with a net issuance of 500 billion yuan for government bonds and 1000 billion yuan for treasury cash management. Additionally, the State Council has approved temporary adjustments to administrative regulations in Guangdong Province, exempting eligible vehicles from Macao from security deposits when crossing the Zhuhai Macao border.

The bottom line: Wang Yi's statement reflects China's stance on international affairs and its desire to prevent UN involvement in potential military conflicts. Meanwhile, the People's Bank's actions indicate a focus on monetary policy and economic stability. The State Council's decision in Guangdong suggests a pragmatic approach to facilitating cross-border trade.
