'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.

While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous.

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. His remarks highlight deepening Moscow-Beijing cooperation against Western strategic ambitions in the Asia-Pacific. #Lavrov #SCO #China #Russia #NATO #IndoPacific #EastAsiaSecurity #Geopolitics #USNATO #PacificAsia #GlobalSecurity #RussiaChina #SCO2025 #LavrovSpeech #NATOExpansion #AsianSecurity #MultipolarWorld #BRICS #StrategicAlliance #GeopoliticalTensions #PacificRegion #SecurityArchitecture #RussiaChinaAlliance #SCOChina #IndoPacificStrategy #USChinaRivalry #NATOinAsia #SCOsummit #RussiaVsNATO #AsiaSecurity #GlobalOrder Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Israel And U.S REVEAL Shocking ‘Gaza Exodus’ Plan | Eyes Ethiopia, Libya, Indonesia | Report

In a shocking revelation, Israel has reportedly requested the United States' assistance to push forward a “relocation” plan for Gaza’s civilian population, according to Axios. Mossad chief David Barnea visited Washington and allegedly asked U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to persuade countries like Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia to absorb “hundreds of thousands” of Gazans. The controversial plan appears to align with Tel Aviv’s long-standing siege and military campaign against the coastal enclave, which intensified drastically since October 2023. The Israeli regime’s ongoing war, supported by unprecedented U.S. military and political aid, has drawn accusations of genocide and population cleansing. Meanwhile, despite Israeli claims of military victories, Hamas continues to resist fiercely with deep-rooted support from the people. The latest report underscores an alarming strategy for population displacement — one that is likely to ignite intense international outrage if confirmed.
