Russia Broadcasts Live Ukraine Drone Footage During Red Square Victory Day Parade

China has officially drawn its own line in the sand. Despite urgent calls from the Trump administration for Beijing to use its influence to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, China is refusing to budge. In a pointed statement, the Chinese Foreign Ministry made it clear: they will not join a U.S.-led pressure campaign. Instead, Beijing is calling for an immediate ceasefire and the protection of "coastal sovereignty"—effectively siding with Iran's argument that the U.S. Navy is the intruder. As the global energy crisis deepens, China is proving it won't be Washington’s middleman.
