All this should be self explanatory.

Biden’s advisor, Jake Sullivan, is visiting China from August 27 to 29, where he is expected to attempt to pressure Beijing into reducing its cooperation with Moscow, according to The New York Times. However, the NYT notes that this effort is unlikely to succeed, as Russia remains a significant partner for China.
In the quoted tweet below there’s a video of Sullivan responding to a question, after his meetings with top Chinese leaders—including Xi Jinping. Sullivan is asked whether he made any progress on the Russia - China issue. He responds: No progress.

Translation:
Jake Sullivan ordered the Chinese to cease supporting Russia in its war against NATO and the rapidly dwindling #MotherOfAllProxyArmies in Ukraine — or else.
And, quite predictably, the Chinese told him to pound sand.
American hegemony ain't what it used to be.

 China and the United States have failed to make progress in discussing the Ukrainian crisis - The White House.
This was stated by Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Jake Sullivan after a meeting with Chinese

Zerohedge has detailed coverage of how Sullivan got the back of the hand from the Chinese:
PLA Will 'Reunify' Taiwan: Chinese General Confronted Sullivan Just Before Surprise Xi Meeting
Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Thursday at the end of the latter's three day trip to Beijing, which is a first such trip for a sitting US national security adviser in eight years.
But the most interesting and tense moment came just before that, when Sullivan met one of China's vice chairs of the Central Military Commission, Gen. Zhang Youxia. The top general confronted Sullivan on growing US support for Taiwan's military. Zhang informed Sullivan that reunification of Taiwan with the mainland is "the mission and responsibility" of the Chinese PLA military and that it won't be deterred. Sullivan looked nervous and unsettled throughout the whole encounter, with Zhang confident and beaming.
"China demands that the United States stop military collusion between the U.S. and Taiwan, stop arming Taiwan and stop spreading false narratives about Taiwan," the statement issued by the defense ministry said.
…
Footage of the meeting shows the Chinese military delegation looking confident, with an unsettled and nervous Sullivan and his team appearing like deer in the headlights.
On the propaganda front, it’s remarkable how obsessed, even enthralled, Zionists seem to be with the theme of sexual violence. They can’t seem to get enough of it, even as it keeps getting debunked. An insatiable appetite, and the sicker the better.
Update: Israel’s Channel 13 confirms that the “anonymous Israeli who witnessed Hamas rape on Oct 7 and then committed suicide” is a complete fake.

Israel and their media/political allies claim there was mass rape by Hamas on Oct 7. But nearly one year later, they have yet to provide a single identified victim, dead or alive; a single shred of physical or forensic evidence; or a single piece of visual evidence.
All they’ve provided are claims from purported “witnesses” — mostly anonymous — who have all been shown to be liars.
Now comes a new step in the propaganda campaign: an anonymous “witness” whose claims cannot be scrutinized because, we’re told, they’ve just anonymously committed suicide.
Do you know who is not anonymous?
The tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered by the Israeli purveyors of the Hamas rape hoax. And the many Palestinians who have suffered actual, documented sexual violence by the same Israeli forces.

No further confirmation of what follows, but as before the circumstantial evidence—the media gag order—seems persuasive:
JUST IN: Reliable sources to Al-Mayadeen: It has been confirmed from within Israel that Hezbollah successfully targeted "Unit 8200" in the Arbaeen Day retaliation operation. At least 6 resistance drones successfully penetrated "israeli" air defenses. (1/2)
MenchOsint @MenchOsint
It has been fully confirmed that the 6 drones hit their targets with high precision inside the "Glilot" base.
The occupation's security apparatus imposed a tight security cordon around the "Glilot" base and within several kilometers surrounding it after the operation.
The tight security cordon lasted for several hours, and access to "Glilot" and its surroundings was prohibited.
The ban on entering the base applied to both civilians and military personnel alike.
The Arbaeen Day operation succeeded beyond any doubt for Hezbollah, despite the complete blackout by the occupation. (2/2)

While it seems doubtful that major damage was done, the targeting and attack was almost certainly done for demonstration purposes, and was successful. That would explain the very subdued demeanor of Israeli general Gallant in his media statement afterwards.

Here’s the clearest indication yet that Kamala Harris is Bought and Bossed by the Israel lobby, and will do nothing different than Genocide Joe
In between tired bromides, Kamala repeats the “Hamas mass rape” hoax that was fed to her by Israel lobbyists
Every Biden initiative is about winning the November election.
The efforts in China show they are very worried about Ukraine producing negative press before the election.
And Israel hurting their election chances.
