Chinese President Xi Jinping has issued a warning to China’s foes, declaring the era of his nation being bullied is over

The fiery statements came during a lengthy speech delivered in front of 70,000 people in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, to mark 100 years of the ruling Communist Party.

The Chinese President, who is wanting to strengthen the CCP’s legitimacy and shore up his own popularity, used his address to praise the role of the party. He says it has been central to China’s growth.

The Chinese President declared his nation will not stand for foreign bullying

“Anyone who would attempts to do so will find themselves on a collision course with a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people,” President Xi Jinping said.

“We have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of any other country, and we never will.”

The assertion is at odds with the recent coercive behavior from Beijing targeting Australia.

President Xi has also overseen China’s repression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, with human rights groups alleging the Chinese government is committing crimes against humanity. Beijing has also been called out for its oppression of Hong Kong, where another anniversary is being marked today.

Today marks 24 years since Hong Kong’s 1997 handover to China by colonial Britain

More than 10,000 police officers have been deployed to discourage protests today and local police have banned a planned pro-democracy rally, citing COVID restrictions.

Contrast that to the grand celebrations taking place in mainland China.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
