Breitbart: China: Biden Giving Cluster Bombs to Ukraine Discredits U.S.-Led International Law
Chinese state media criticized the U.S. for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine, calling it a hypocritical move and proof of the "mafia-style" nature of the American-led international order. The Global Times highlighted the U.S.'s alleged double standards and claimed that the rules-based order suppresses challenges to U.S. hegemony, especially China's rise. The issue of cluster munitions is causing discomfort for the Biden administration, although it is not technically illegal under international law.
The U.S. defended its decision to provide cluster bombs to Ukraine, arguing that it would not significantly worsen the situation, as Russia, which is also not a signatory to the Convention on Cluster Munitions, is reportedly already using them. The U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that America's allies understand the decision. The media's stance on cluster bombs changed recently, with some outlets supporting the move, despite previous criticism of the weapons due to the risk of civilian casualties.

The Epoch Times: Failure of Child Sex Trafficking Bill in California Assembly Committee Sparks Outrage
