...cameras poked their long snouts from booths along the wall and searched up & down the horseshoe table at Lake Success.

Angry Joker? Dr. Tsiang suggested that the matter of whether he was officially present should be taken up at a special meeting. But Malik said that any meeting with Tsiang was a "parody." Then Malik (having less difficulty than Alice had had with her flamingo) tucked his papers under his arm and stalked out.

The answer depends on whether the question of ouster is procedural (not vetoable) or substantive (vetoable). If the Council majority tries to decide that an ouster is procedural, then China may try to veto this decision before the Council goes on to a second...
