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.

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned on Thursday against the relapsing into a Cold War mentality due to the rising tensions in the Asian-Pacific region.

Xi’s remarks came on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) annual summit in New Zealand, where he spoke in a pre-recorded video.

“The Asia-Pacific region cannot and should not relapse into the confrontation and division of the Cold War era,” the Chinese president said, noting that all attempts to divide the region along ideological or geopolitical lines are bound to fail.

His speech came in the heels of the AUKUS pact between Australia, the US, and the UK, which was seen as an effort to undermine China’s military power in the region, a move Beijing described as one that "will escalate regional tensions, provoke an arms race and threaten regional peace and stability."

The Chinese leader also stressed the importance of making COVID-19 vaccines more accessible to developing nations by calling for a joint effort to close the “immunization gap”, allowing the region to emerge from the shadows of the pandemic as soon as possible.

China joins the US in the fight against climate change

Just yesterday, China and the United States announced a joint initiative to deliver enhanced climate action, Beijing's envoy on climate change told the COP26 summit.

"Both sides recognize that there is a gap between the current effort and the Paris Agreement goals, so we will jointly strengthen climate action," China’s chief climate negotiator Xie Zhenhua told reporters in a surprise announcement.

China and the US are the world's two largest emitters, and together, they make up nearly 40% of all carbon pollution.

The initiative had been brewing for the last 10 months, and it saw China and the US holding 30 virtual meetings to reach an agreement.
