Xi says China will not let security, sovereignty interests be undermined

13 Sept 06:44 Key points summarised by AI

President Xi Jinping asserted China will never allow its sovereignty, security, or development interests to be undermined, warning that the Chinese people are "not to be trifled with."
Delivering a speech on the 70th anniversary of China's Korean War intervention, Xi implicitly addressed current U.S.-China tensions by recalling historical defiance against U.S.-led forces.
Xi condemned unilateralism and bullying, advocating for accelerated modernization of China's defense and armed forces to ensure a strong nation.
These statements reflect the lowest point in U.S.-China relations in decades, fueled by disputes over trade, technology, human rights, and recent U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
