BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

    The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Hua Chunying, says the US left a dreadful mess. 

China, which shares a border with Afghanistan, accused the US today of leaving a dreadful mess in its wake after withdrawing from Afghanistan. She recalled footage that has been widely circulated in the media, showing Afghan citizens attempting mass escapes at Kabul Airport.

The death toll from the United States' two-decade intervention in Afghanistan was strongly denounced by a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman. Chunying went on to say that what China saw in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan was that the US Army left behind troubles, divisions, and distressed families, as well as others who were exterminated as it withdrew.

The Chinese spokeswoman went on to say that the US had left a dreadful mess in the region and that the situation was catastrophic.

The minister led a response to Biden's remarks that Washington was never to build a democratic state, but rather to prevent terrorist assult on US oil. She went on to say that the US' power and role are to destroy, not to build.

The Chinese spokeswoman, on the other hand, urged the Taliban to make a clear distinction between themselves and international terrorist organizations. She requested that they provide guarantees that Afghanistan will not become a source of terrorism and extremism again.

China and Afghanistan share a 76-kilometer common border. Because of the long shared border between the two countries, any sort of instability in Afghanistan will have an impact on China, particularly in the Xinjiang region in the northeast.

Following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan, Hua Chunying stated yesterday that China is willing to strengthen friendly and cooperative relations with Afghanistan.

She went on to say that the Taliban movement has voiced its desire for good relations with China on several occasions and that the movement looks forward to China's engagement in Afghanistan's reconstruction and development.

A Taliban delegation visited China in late July, meeting with its foreign minister, Wang Yi, and vowed not to allow Afghan soil to be used as a base for strikes against China.
