Beirut Port Explosion, Lebanon Protests, Chinese Peacekeepers
Following the massive ammonium nitrate explosion in Beirut, protesters in Lebanon are calling for the government to be toppled. President Michel Aoun has rejected calls for an international investigation, suggesting the port may have been attacked. Meanwhile, China is sending "peacekeepers" to Lebanon, a move seen as an attempt to secure its interests in the port as part of the Belt and Road Initiative.
