China’s state-run tabloid Global Times changed its director, as Hu Xijin, who consistently criticized the United States, announced his retirement on Dec. 15.

Hours before his retirement, Hu published his last video as chief editor of the Chinese regime’s mouthpiece in which he said “the United States will have a nightmare once China and Russia team up [against the United States].”
