BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi tackled the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between the two countries on Friday, according to the state department.

In a statement, the state department added that Blinken told Wang that the US is committed to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and emphasized the repercussions of Beijing supporting the war in Ukraine.

The diplomatic rift between the US and the Sino-Russian bloc is further widening as the Russian-Ukraine war is further exposing the West's ambitions of establishing a unipolar world. 

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the US and its allies have been adamant about pressuring the Global South to cut ties with Russia. 

Due to China's resistance, the US has imposed a partial embargo on Chinese-made semiconductors.

It is also undergoing territorial instability since US Speaker Nancy Pelosi landed on the Taiwanese island, unbothered by China's threats.

Both Russia and China have also received subtle threats from NATO due to their cooperation in the Arctic.

On September 12, it was reported that China and Russia had agreed to cooperate in investment projects worth $160 billion intended to fortify bilateral ties. 

It is worth noting that, as part of coordination between the two nations, China and Russia held their first joint exercises of this year in the Vostok-2022 military drills which began in early September.

A growing friendship between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin has helped put the two countries closer together. The ambitions to end what China and Russia regard as America's economic and geopolitical hegemony further strengthened the diplomatic ties. 

In August, it was reported that trade between China and Russia rose 29 percent, amounting to $97.91 billion in the first seven months of 2022.
