HOW ABOUT SAYING THIS INSTEAD...:
Britain 'appalled' as Russia and China block UN resolution on Syria (Alex Spillius, 19 Jul 2012, The Telegraph)
Sir Mark Lyall Grant, the British ambassador to the UN, said the Government was "appalled by the decision to block a resolution at bringing and end to the bloodshed in Syria".Russia and China, he said, "are failing in their responsibilities as permanent members, they are failing the people of Syria," adding that 14,000 Syrians had died since the two powers first used their veto last October."The effect of their actions is to protect a brutal regime. "
"Of course the PRC wants to save this evil regime, because it is one and it can hear the footsteps of its own people closing in. It may not fall next, but soon."
