'South China Sea is Ours': China-US 'Dirty' Face-off at UNSC Moments After Trump Announces BIG Deal

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region. While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific. #China #SouthChinaSea #UNSC #FuCong #UnitedNations #USChinaTensions #Geopolitics #IndoPacific #TerritorialDispute #GlobalDiplomacy #InternationalRelations #BreakingNews #UNDebate #ChinaVsUS #WorldNews Also Read China's Sonar Shocker: The 20km Sub-Spotter That Could Sink Naval Strategies :: https://www.oneindia.com/feature/chinas-sonar-shocker-the-20km-sub-spotter-that-could-sink-naval-strategies-3940843.html?ref=DMDesc China’s PLA Warns: 'We’ll Crush Foreign Encroachment' In South China Sea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-s-pla-warns-we-ll-crush-foreign-encroachment-in-south-china-sea-011-3932325.html?ref=DMDesc WATCH Video | Standoff At South China Sea: Chinese Coast Guard Attacks Philippine Navy Boats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/watch-video-standoff-at-south-china-sea-chinese-coast-guard-attacks-philippine-navy-boats-3857477.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~

WW3 WARNING: Russia SLAMS NATO’s Indo-Pacific ‘Aggression’, Warns US Allies of “Far East Expansion”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, attending the SCO summit in China, strongly criticized the United States and NATO for their growing involvement in the Indo-Pacific region. Lavrov argued that NATO allies seek to expand their influence into the Far East, undermining regional stability. In contrast, Russia, China, and like-minded nations advocate for an “open and free security architecture” for East Asia.

‘China's links with Russia…’ EU Chief’s SHOCKING Ultimatum To China Amid EU-China Summit | EU-China

The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations. Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over China’s geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijing’s stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen. #ChinaEU #BeijingSummit #ChinaRussiaTies #UkraineWar #TradeTensions #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #XiJinping #Geopolitics #RareEarths #ClimateTalks #EUChinaSummit #EUChinaRelations #MultipolarWorld #GlobalDiplomacy #TradeImbalance #GreenEnergy #Brussels #WesternSanctions #GlobalStability #PeaceTalks ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

Zelensky's RESIGNATION Looms? MASSIVE Protests Rock Kyiv After Power Grab on Anti-Corruption Bodies

Mass protests have erupted in Kyiv, Lviv, and other Ukrainian cities despite martial law, with demonstrators accusing President Zelensky of betraying democratic ideals. Anger surged after parliament passed a law curtailing two key anti-corruption agencies, handing more power to a presidentially appointed prosecutor general. Critics warn the move threatens Ukraine’s EU membership path, undermines reforms, and signals a drift toward authoritarianism. Protesters chanted “We chose Europe, not autocracy,” while Zelensky defended the law as a way to remove Russian influence, deepening divisions amid an ongoing war with Moscow. #UkraineProtests #Kyiv #Zelensky #Democracy #AntiCorruption #UkraineWar #MartialLaw #UkraineCrisis #EUIntegration #UkraineNews #UkraineRussiaWar #ZelenskyUnderFire #Authoritarianism #UkrainePolitics #LvivProtests #TransparencyInternational #HumanRights #CivilUnrest #UkraineConflict #ProtestMovement #EuropeNotAutocracy #KyivUnrest #UkraineEUPath #ZelenskyCrisis #UkraineDemocracy #UkraineUpdate #WarAndPolitics #UkraineDivided #PutinWar #UkraineHeadlines

Israel, Ukraine Launch Joint Talks To CRUSH Iranian Threat Amid Rising WW3 And Nuclear Fears [Video]

Israel, Ukraine Launch Joint Talks To CRUSH Iranian Threat Amid Rising WW3 And Nuclear Fears

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—and plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead. #IsraelUkraine #IranThreat #DroneWarfare #NuclearIran #MiddleEastTensions #UkraineWar #GideonSaar #AndriySybiga #TehranWarning #RussiaUkraine #IranianDrones #Geopolitics #AlliesAgainstIran #NuclearDealCollapse #AxisOfResistance #KyivDiplomacy #IsraelStrikesIran #MilitaryTechWar #GlobalSecurityCrisis #AntiIranAlliance ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~

Houthis Hypersonic Hellfire: Tel-Aviv Ben Gurion Airport Hit | Chaos & Panic Grips Tel-Aviv | VIDEO

In a dramatic escalation, Yemen’s Armed Forces have claimed responsibility for a massive drone and missile assault targeting key Israeli infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport, Ashdod Port, and the Eilat Port. Yemeni military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree confirmed the use of the indigenous ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic missile and locally built UAVs in retaliation against Israeli strikes on Yemen and in solidarity with Gaza. The strike forced Israel to shut down its primary international airport, with sirens sounding across the Dead Sea area. The Yemeni Armed Forces declared their readiness for prolonged confrontation and reiterated a vow to continue strategic blockades and attacks until Israel halts its Gaza offensive. With over 57,000 Palestinians dead since October 2023, the operation underscores a widening regional war and a unified resistance front across West Asia. Israeli interceptors reportedly failed to stop the attacks, raising serious concerns about defense gaps. #YemenMissileStrike #BenGurionHit #Palestine2Missile #IsraelUnderAttack #GazaWar #HypersonicMissile #YemenIsraelConflict #EilatAttack #AshdodPortStrike #DroneWarfare #YahyaSaree #MiddleEastTensions #BRICSResponse #TelAvivUnderFire #AirstrikeOnIsrael #GazaBlockade #IsraelYemenTensions #RedSeaCrisis #ResistanceFront #MissileWarning ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.125~

Iran has launched over 100 Shaheed-136 kamikaze drones toward Israel in retaliation for Israeli strikes on nuclear and military sites in Tehran.
