Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivers a decisive speech against Trump’s global...

In his powerful speech today, Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem exposed Trump’s schemes and U.S. imperial ambitions:

“Trump wants to interfere in all regions of the world to suppress democratic, Islamic, and free life, to seize money, resources, and oil, and to dominate people.”

“Since 1979, the Islamic Republic has been an independent state relying on the talents of its people, and it has supported noble resistance, especially the resistance against Israeli occupation.”

“We stand with Iran—its people, leadership, and revolution—and we regard it as steadfast and strong.”

“They covet Venezuela’s resources and oil, seeking to annex it to the United States.”

“Trump is not satisfied with Venezuela alone; he also wants Greenland, Cuba, Canada, and the European Union. All of Trump’s actions aim at domination.”

“We call for a global movement of nations and peoples to say to America: Stop.”

“With the conclusion of the ‘War of the Strong,’ we face two matters: a new phase of struggle, and a new era in Lebanon.”

Qassem’s words are a rallying cry for the Axis of Resistance—bold, unwavering, and visionary. We firmly stand with this speech, echoing his call for a global challenge to U.S.-Zionist hegemony! 🇱🇧🇮🇷🇵🇸

China Sets the Rules: From Tech War Target to Gatekeeper

For years, Washington’s “small yard, high fence” strategy sought to choke Beijing’s access to cutting-edge tech—especially Nvidia’s AI chips.

But 2026 marks a turning point. Beijing is no longer playing defense—it’s building its own fence:

Capping Nvidia imports: Chinese firms are instructed to sideline Nvidia’s H200 chips, reserving server space for homegrown alternatives.

Probing Meta’s deal: Authorities launch a review of Meta’s acquisition of Manus, a Chinese-founded AI start-up.

Why this matters:

China is signaling it can set the rules, not just follow them.

By restricting US tech and boosting domestic players, Beijing accelerates self-reliance in AI and semiconductors.

This transforms the “tech war” into a two-way battlefield—where both sides erect barriers, shaping the future of global innovation.

For the Global South, it opens the possibility of alternative tech ecosystems outside US control.

Analysts note: “The offensive and defensive roles have shifted.” China is no longer reacting—it’s actively driving decoupling, turning the contest into a strategic duel of enforcement and control.

In a major escalation of the global tech war, Chinese authorities have ordered domestic companies to cease using cybersecurity software from roughly a dozen U.S. and Israeli firms. The ban targets major industry players, including Broadcom-owned VMware, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, and Israel’s Check Point Software Technologies, causing pre-market stock dips for these companies.

Beijing cites "national security concerns" and the risk of espionage as the primary drivers, fearing that these foreign tools could collect and transmit confidential data abroad. This move aligns with China's broader "Document 79" strategy to replace Western technology with domestic alternatives like 360 Security Technology and Neusoft, further decoupling the world's two largest economies ahead of President Trump's expected visit to Beijing in April.
