China will resolutely defend its sovereignty, security and development interests. Any words or actions by the US that hurt China’s interests will be met with firm counter-attacks. The US will never have its way in containing China’s development. pic.twitter.com/OE9cphrfVv

CHINA IS SAID TO HALT SOME U.S. SOY IMPORTS AS TENSIONS RISE

China has stopped purchasing soy and pork moments ago, putting even more pressure on the Trump regime and US farmers who mostly voted on Trump 4 years ago.

Impeccable timing.https://t.co/LXm71s6Dum

#DavidMcAtee was murdered last night on the West End of Louisville. Sources say someone fired off a shot & the figures of authority blindly shot back, gunning down a man who was not protesting; rather was at his business. Likely preparing to feed those in need.
