They never claimed to have a problem with the UN resolution, they claimed that the ships and helicopter came closer to their airspace than they needed to to enforce the resolution.

If China wanted to block the UN resolution, they could've veto'd the entire thing for any reason.

In my quote the claim was that Australia was there enforcing the UN resolution. That resolution was made a long time ago, well before China took sides in the Ukraine war. Too late to veto the resolution now.

PS Admittedly my quote is not from a credible source. I haven't time to test its veracity.
