🚨 HUGE: Zohran Mamdani just announced that NYC will build 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes.

China’s message at the UN is very clear: The United Nations must be defended, revitalized, and strengthened — because the very institution meant to uphold the postwar international order has been severely weakened by the country that once helped build it. That is the irony. The US helped create the UN system after World War II. Now it treats international law as optional, the Security Council as inconvenient, sovereignty as negotiable, and other nations’ lives as bargaining chips. As American power declines, its empire becomes more reckless. That is why China is calling not for a new hegemon, but for a more balanced, restrained, and multipolar order — one where no single country can decide who lives, who dies, who develops, and who must be destroyed. China understands something very old: Power without restraint always runs toward the cliff. A world governed by one empire is not order. It is domination with paperwork. What China is proposing is not submission to China. It is the restoration of basic dignity to all nations — large or small, rich or poor, powerful or vulnerable. A community with a shared future for humanity means exactly this: No country should be above the world. No people should be beneath it.
