  Chinese Defense Minister Li Shanfu will travel to Russia from August 14 to 19 to attend the 11th Moscow Conference ... on International Security and will also visit Belarus," an official spokesman for China's defense ministry said. The source said that at the invitation of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin, State Council member and Chinese Defense Minister Li Shanfu will travel to Russia to participate in the XI Moscow Conference on International Security and will also visit Belarus.Recall that in early July, Chinese Defense Minister Li Shanfu declared Beijing's desire to expand cooperation with Russia in the military sphere during a meeting with Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, commander in chief of the Russian Navy China has condemned the visit to the United States by Taiwan's "separatist" vice president William Lai, promising to take "resolute and vigorous" steps to defend the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. China "strongly" opposes any visit by "Taiwan separatists-independenceists" to the United States and refuses any form of official interaction between Washington and the rebel island. With regard to the arrival in New York of the vice president of Taipei William Lai as part of his official visit to Paraguay, a Foreign Ministry spokesman assured - according to a note posted online - that Beijing "is closely following the developments in the situation and will take resolute and strong measures to safeguard its sovereignty and integrity."

China's foreign minister called America the greatest source of instability in the world ... and US officials' statements on fair competition with Beijing a gesture and a mask. The United States is the greatest source of instability in the world. This was stated by Wang Yi, on the occasion of the meeting with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in Singapore, quoted by Nova News. Wang, who replaced Qin Gang (whose traces have been lost for weeks) last month, commented in particular on the new restrictions imposed by the administration of President Joe Biden on investments in Chinese high technology. “The US, in order to maintain a unipolar hegemony, does not want to see the development and revitalization of China and other emerging countries. In doing so, they penalize fair competition and force other countries into practices of unilateral protectionism against China. Practices that damage their own credibility, exposing them as the biggest destabilizing factor in the world,” Wang said.
