The minister also highlighted the military’s domestic security efforts, noting that anti-drug operations have led to the destruction of over 30 criminal outposts and illegal boat-building facilities.

Tensions in the Caribbean Sea have escalated after the United States deployed warships near the coast of Venezuela earlier this month, which Washington describes as part of its strategy to fight the international drug cartels.

Several leaders in the region, including Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, criticized U.S. military manoeuvres near Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea.

Beijing Imposes Sanctions on Ex-U.S. Lawmaker – Mike Gallagher! (22.5.2024)

Observers noted that Gallagher has been among junior members of Congress that frequently participate in negative narratives blasting China, so as to climb higher in their political careers.

Since 2017, he has proposed a slew of China-related bills, and The Associated Press called him someone who “has spearheaded House pushback against the Chinese government”.

Last year, he proposed a bill seeking to block companies of China and other “foreign adversaries” from purchasing land near military bases and other sensitive sites.

Last month, Gallagher worked together with congressional fellows, including Representative Jimmy Panetta, on proposing a bill to impose sanctions on any Chinese military firm that provides material support to Russia.

Tibet is not Palestine

I was recently reading the social media page of a pro-Palestinian blogger (I believe posting from India). He stated that China supports Palestine but then displayed his ignorance by asserting that China is hypocritical due to its occupation of Tibet! As a supporter of Palestine myself, this comment demonstrated to me the bourgeois mind-set of this individual, and his unreliable interpretation of political events from the proletariat perspective.
