Security member nations cannot currently be expelled from the security council. Member nations of the UN can be expelled from the UN from a motion from the security council voted on by the general assembly, but this does not apply to security council members.

This is a major reason why the UN hasn't and cannot be reformed. China and Russia are in one bloc, the west is in the other. Unless one bloc boycotts the council for awhile like during the Korean war period, nothing is likely to happen in the UN aside from some stern words.
