[U.S. Attempt to Stop China, Russia from Getting Closer Faces Failure]China's external pressure is increasing, and Moscow uses the G20 meeting to support Beijing. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expressed doubts about the sanity of thinking of those threatening China at a news conference of the ministerial meeting in New Delhi. He said that with regard to the threats issued by China, I doubt whether those threats are of sound thinking. In principle, no one should be threatened, but it is difficult for me to think of threatening China under modern conditions. Of course, our Western counterparts have seriously 'disengaged' from diplomacy. I think they have put diplomacy aside and are just intimidating and threatening. After China released the "Position on the Political Solution to the Ukraine Crisis", the United States and Western allies have intensified their threats to China, saying that once they provide assistance to Russia, they will impose new sanctions. Ukraine didn't stop either. Mikhail Podolak, an adviser to the President's Office, threatened in a TV program that if Russia supplies weapons to Russia, it will have an "aggressive response" to China. Therefore, the statement made by the Russian foreign minister is completely aimed at the absurd remarks made by Ukrainian politicians. Editor/Xing Wentao
On the afternoon of October 8th, under the on-site escort of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Maritime Bureau's "Haixun 0927" ship, the first flatbed cargo ship dedicated to the transportation of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, the "Green Source No. 1" ship, slowly entered the Xuwen Hai'an New Port, marking the successful trial operation of the ship's roll on/roll off transport route in the Qiongzhou Strait. It is reported that the deck cargo ship "Green Source No.1" has a total tonnage of 6731, a net tonnage of 3769, a length of 125.8 meters, and a width of 28 meters. The ship adopts a single-layer deck design, which can carry more than 160 new energy vehicles on a single voyage under full load conditions. The parking capacity is about 60% higher than that of existing passenger and roll on/roll off transport ships. The ship is planned to be deployed on the route from Hai'an New Port in Zhanjiang to Xiuying Port in Haikou. After being put into operation, it will add a new mode of sea transportation for new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait and effectively alleviate the tense situation of insufficient capacity for new energy vehicle transportation during the peak period of cross sea vehicle transportation in the Qiongzhou Strait.
