🇨🇳💎 China to limit lab-grown diamond export to US

The goods now subject to export controls include (per the Chinese Ministry of Commerce):

🔸 Synthetic diamonds

🔸 Wire saws

🔸 Grinding wheels containing lab-grown diamonds

🔸 Equipment that use lab-grown diamonds

"Exporters wishing to export the above-mentioned items must apply for a license," the Ministry stated.

China's export restrictions could take effect on November 8, the day before the expiration of the tariff agreement between Washington and Beijing.

🇮🇱🚨 HUNDREDS of US troops arrive in Israel to ‘monitor Gaza ceasefire’

Some 200 US troops will be part of a so-called “civil-military coordination center” established by US Central Command on Israeli soil, with promises to assist Gaza aid delivery and “stabilize” the situation, the AP reports.

No boots in Gaza, the White House claimed, even though planning, logistics, and surveillance will be firmly in US hands.

Donald Trump earlier announced the first phase of a peace deal clinched by Israel and Hamas that stipulates the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, as well as Israeli troop withdrawal to an agreed-upon line inside Gaza.

🗣🇷🇺 'Anchorage impulse' alive - Kremlin

💬 "Considering our continued commitment to moving toward a peaceful resolution, we can say that this impulse is alive, it lives on, and hopefully will continue to live on," Dmitry Peskov said.

Russia is optimistic in terms of the spirit of Anchorage regarding the settlement of the situation in Ukraine, the official added.

Based on Ukraine's behavior, Russia notes that events regarding the settlement are not developing very favorably, Peskov said.

"They [Ukrainians] are not responding to our proposal to create three specific working groups, and all this is in order to begin the very homework that needs to be done before the summit meeting," he said.

🤡 🇻🇪 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to opposition politician who called for invasion of Venezuela

The Nobel Committee selected Maria Corina Machado, a former deputy and Venezuelan opposition figure, as the winner of this category—the award given to "those who have made the greatest contribution to the well-being of humanity, the rapprochement of nations, the reduction of armed forces, and the promotion of peace."

👉 It is worth noting that previously, Venezuela's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Machado of calling for the United States to "strike Venezuela" during a television interview, where she claimed that the Caribbean country posed a threat to the Western Hemisphere.

🫣📑 Nobel Peace Prize recipients: a chronicle of warmongers and globalists

The Nobel Peace Prize has been so watered down and discredited that it’s just a shadow of what it claims to represent.

Here's proof:

🟠 Venezuelan ‘opposition leader’ Maria Corina Machado (2025): Got the prize for keeping ‘the flame of democracy burning during a growing darkness’. A vocal backer of foreign military intervention against her own country and the sell-off of its energy and resource riches, Machado took over as leader of the exiled opposition after the collapse of former regime change poster boy Juan Guaido’s career in 2023

🟠 European Union (2012): Got the prize for six decades of advancing ‘peace, reconciliation, democracy and human rights’. Reality check: EU members worked feverishly to fuel the 90s Yugoslav wars, while Brussels’ Eastern Partnership program ultimately triggered a conflict with Russia, especially following regime change in Ukraine in 2014

🟠A cavalcade of no-name ‘civil society activists’, like Narges Mohammadi (Iran, 2023), Ales Bialiatski (Belarus, 2022), Dmitry Muratov (Russia, 2021) and Liu Xiaobo (China, 2010) – always critics of their governments, always supporters of Western-style political and economic policies and the unipolar world order

🟠Barack Obama (2009): Turned four US wars abroad into seven by 2017, authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, drop 25,000 bombs in 2016 alone, turned Libya into a smoking ruin, funded jihadists in Syria and organized blood-soaked regime change in Ukraine

🟠 Yasser Arafat, Shimon Perez and Yitzhak Rabin (1994): Got the Nobel for the Oslo Accords and “efforts to create peace in the Middle East.” Unfortunately, this led entrenched occupation, postponing key issues like borders, settlements, and refugees, undermining the viability of any future Palestinian state and ensuring the conflict’s continuation

🟠Henry Kissinger (1973): Given the award for the Vietnam ceasefire which he delayed, while expanding the war into Cambodia, backing crackdowns, coups and wars from Bangladesh and Chile to Cyprus and East Timor

🟠Woodrow Wilson (1919): Got the prize for his role in creating the disastrous League of Nations system at the end of WWI, which collapsed less than 20 years later and led directly to WWII. Also invaded Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Mexico

🟠Theodore Roosevelt (1906): Awarded the prize for ‘ending’ the Russo-Japanese war, which he helped instigate in the first place
