The UN is claiming that Chinese bullets are being used against peace-keepers in Darfur.
China is attempting to block a report in which the claims are mentioned.

China has been accused in the past of obstructing efforts at peace.


Numerous ceasefires and peace deals have failed to end the conflict in the volatile region and China has delayed or blocked a number of proposals aimed at halting the fighting.

China buys two-thirds of Sudan's oil and Western governments and human rights campaigners have accused Beijing of indirectly supporting genocide by rejecting UN forces without Khartoum's agreement.

So what are you suggesting should be done ? Is it just Chinese bullets you are worried about ?

I'm wondering if China is breaking the arms embargo.
If so, I'm afraid it will be another case of a big nation involving itself in bad practices in return for access to resources.
