How Western “Fake Media” Weaponizes the “Pro-Russian” Label Against Pan-African Voice Kémi Séba
In a familiar pattern of geopolitical smear campaigns, major Western outlets have rushed to brand prominent Beninese pan-Africanist activist and author Kémi Séba as a “pro-Russian activist” following his recent arrest in South Africa. Headlines from fake western media outlets repeatedly slap on the “pro-Russian” tag as if it were an undisputed fact, reducing a complex advocate for African sovereignty to a simplistic geopolitical pawn.

🚨🇨🇳 JUST IN: China’s first robot traffic police squad begins operations in Hangzhou
China has officially deployed its first formally organized robot traffic police squad in Hangzhou during the May Day holiday. The 15 intelligent traffic management robots were stationed around the famous West Lake scenic area and key urban roads to help manage heavy holiday traffic.
The robots guide pedestrians and cyclists, provide navigation for tourists, detect traffic violations, and coordinate with human officers. Officials say the robots can operate for 8–9 hours daily, reducing repetitive street-level tasks and allowing police to focus on emergencies and serious violations.

Oil prices now determined by Trump’s mood – Fico
🚨 LIVE: OIL MARKET SHAKEN
“Oil prices now depend on Trump’s mood,” Slovak PM Robert Fico said after crude markets swung wildly amid rising Iran conflict fears.
Brent crude surged nearly 7%, briefly climbing above $126 per barrel — the highest level since 2022 — before easing later in the day.
The jump followed reports that the US military prepared strike options on Iran, while fears over disruption in the Strait of Hormuz — a route carrying around 20% of global energy trade — sent shockwaves through global markets.
Fico, speaking in Bratislava, mocked the volatility:
“If Trump wakes up in a good mood, oil goes down. If he wakes up in a bad mood and makes some statement, oil automatically goes up.”
Energy markets remain on edge as geopolitical tensions escalate.

🇨🇳🫖 CHINA’S “TEAPOT” REFINERS: The Sanction‑Busting Lifeline Keeping Iran Afloat – WSJ
While the US blockades ports and seizes tankers, a fleet of private Chinese refiners – nicknamed “teapots” – is quietly buying nearly every barrel Iran exports. Washington is furious. Beijing is unbothered.
🛢️ Iran’s financial lifeline – an estimated 12% of China’s oil imports came from Iran in 2025, almost all through independent “teapot” refiners.
💸 How they dodge sanctions – ship‑to‑ship transfers, transponders switched off, payments in yuan (not dollars), and minimal overseas assets to lose.
📈 The trade has exploded – from 70 tankers in late 2020 to nearly 600 ships today.
🧾 Hengli Petrochemical – sanctioned by the US last week – denies any Iranian business but continues operating normally, settling crude purchases in yuan.
🇨🇳 Beijing’s stance: unilateral US sanctions “have no basis in international law.” China will defend its companies’ rights.
