In article sent to Lana: Chargé d’Affairs of Chinese Embassy commends Libya for standing by China in the UN General Assembly vote in 1971 to restore rights of People’s Republic of China.

The Chinese diplomat, “Wang Zhimin,” said, in an article he sent to the Libyan News Agency Lana, that the United Nations General Assembly, at its 26th session on October 25, 1971, 50 years ago, adopted Resolution 2758 by an overwhelming majority to restore all rights of the People’s Republic of China, and to recognize that the representative of the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate representative of China in the United Nations, and that although China and Libya did not establish diplomatic relations, Libya as a member of African countries, with other friendly African brothers, cast a valuable vote in the United Nations and they transferred China to the United Nations).

And the successful holding of general elections at the end of this year.

He stressed that China is ready to work with the international community to play a positive role in achieving comprehensive and lasting peace, stability and economic and social development in Libya.

The article reviewed what has been achieved in construction and development since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which opened to the Chinese people a new historical reform and open up stage, and transformed China from underdevelopment to occupying the second place in the world in terms of the size of its total economy, and that China has maintained the credibility of nations The United Nations and its position, and the implementation of multilateralism, as the cooperation between China and the United Nations deepens day by day, and its call to resolve disputes politically through peaceful means.

Knicks recover to beat Lakers team missing suspended James

New York, Evan Fournier scored 26 points, Immanuel Quickley had 12 of his 14 in the fourth quarter after New York had blown a 25-point lead, and the Knicks beat a Los Angeles Lakers team missing suspended star LeBron James 106-100 on Tuesday night.

 

Julius Randle added 20 points, 16 rebounds and five assists for the Knicks, but sat for eight minutes of the fourth quarter after picking up his fifth foul. Quickley made sure that didn’t matter, hitting four 3-pointers in the period, AP reports.

 

Russell Westbrook had 31 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, with 18 points in a sensational third quarter that allowed the Lakers to tie the game. But with James not in the arena, Anthony Davis struggling through an illness and Carmelo Anthony’s shot off in his old home, the Lakers never could take the lead.

 

They beat Detroit on Sunday after overcoming a 17-point deficit in the game James was ejected from for striking Pistons center Isaiah Stewart in the face and drawing blood. The NBA suspended the superstar forward for one game.

 

But the best Los Angeles could do in this one was tie it twice after New York dominated most of the first two quarters.

 

Davis, who woke up with a fever, had 20 points on 7-for-17 shooting. Anthony was just 3 of 14 for 12 points, and the Lakers lost for the fourth time in five games.

 

Randle went to the bench with his fifth foul with 9:18 remaining and was hit with a technical foul from there that allowed the Lakers to cut it to 90-87. But Obi Toppin scored before Quickley made a 3-pointer to push it back to eight, and it was back into double digits when another 3 by Quickley made it 105-93 with 4:58 to play.

 

The Knicks raced to a 10-0 lead that grew to 36-15 on RJ Barrett’s 3-pointer with 1:11 left in the first quarter. It was 59-35 with under 5 minutes remaining in the half before the Lakers put together a 16-2 run that trimmed it to 61-51 just before the break.

 

The Lakers scored nine straight to open the third and cut it to 63-60, and finally tied it for the first time at 79 on Anthony’s dunk.

 

TIP-INS

 

Lakers: Anthony got a loud ovation when he checked in during the first quarter. … Talen Horton-Tucker missed all eight shots in a scoreless outing.

 

Knicks: New York played without backup point guard Derrick Rose (sprained right ankle) and injured centers Mitchell Robinson and Taj Gibson. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Robinson, out with a concussion, is doing better but still has to clear the league’s protocols before he can return. … New York has won nine of the last 11 meetings at home.

 

MISSING OUT ON MSG

 

Lakers coach Frank Vogel called James one of the classiest players in the league who always plays the game the right way. He spoke with James, who was disappointed to miss a second straight visit to one of his favorite arenas. He was hurt last season when the Lakers played at Madison Square Garden.

 

“He wanted to play. I don’t want to get into it more than that,” Vogel said.
