The U.S. envoy to the United Nations said on Thursday she hopes China will urge Russia to "do the right thing" on Ukraine, prompting her Chinese counterpart to quickly respond with a call for diplomacy and an end to "hyping up the tension."
China was the only country to vote no with Russia last week in a failed bid to stop the 15-member U.N. Security Council from meeting at the request of the United States, on Russia's troop build-up on Ukraine's borders with Russia and Belarus.
