Long War Journal: Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah calls for closer ties to China
During a June 17 speech eulogizing former Palestinian Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ramadan Shalah and Hezbollah commander Hajj Abu Ali Farhat, Hassan Nasrallah called for a realignment with China in an attempt to end Lebanon’s dependence on western aid during its economic crises.
“I have information that is absolutely definite, if I am not sure about something, I wouldn’t talk about it. Chinese companies are ready to bring in money, and without any of the complications that we talk about in Lebanon. We don’t have to give them money, they will bring money into the country,” Nasrallah stated.

WNU Editor: Hezbollah's call for closer ties to China makes sense (from Hezbollah's perspective). Chinese consumer goods are sold throughout Lebanon, and China's "donor diplomacy" has targeted Lebanon for help. But as I mentioned in my previous post, money from China always has strings attached.
Update: Here is a good post on China's emergence in the Middle East in that includes countries like Lebanon .... Is it China’s turn to wield influence over Lebanon? (Najia Houssari, Arab News).

I've heard on CNN that Hezbollah is mostly peaceful. So what to worry if a terror organisation gets now funded by your trillion dollar heavy cold war enemy? Nukes anyone? Also what's to worry that China funds CNN (legally, through ads) CNN/MSNBC by the hundreds of millions? What its there to worry that the Washington Post (which belongs to Jeff Bezos/Amazon ) pushes Chinese narratives and promotes a fake Russia hoax story?Amazon was the biggest benefactor from the Chinese Wuhan Virus --- they made billions (!) selling goods from China while your country burns in the aftermath of a virus coming from Wuhan, China. No worries. Vote for Biden they tell you. No worries there. No problem that his son got billions from China. Don't ask so many questions. .just vote Democrat lol and then go buy your "learn Chinese"book on amazon. I heard they deliver quickly haha
Chinese's want to be everywhere because they need more enemies. Seriously, Israel have to think twice before continuing to cooperate with China.
Hezbollah wants to cozy up to a nation that throws its Muslim minority into concentration camps. Ah, yes, a guardian of the faith.
