  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 13 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 14 hours ago
  • Nazar Voloshin
    Nazar Voloshin “The situation in the Kharkiv sector remains complicated but is evolving in a dynamic manner. Our defence forces have partially stabilised the situation. The advance of the enemy in certain zones and localities has been halted.” 19 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “The situation in the Kharkiv region is generally under control, and our soldiers are inflicting significant losses on the occupier. However, the area remains extremely difficult.” 19 hours ago

“We often pretend that China has a choice in terms of 'zero Covid' versus opening up. There never was a choice. The simple fact is that China is not ready for a wave on that scale.”

“We feel the same way about the problems everyone has raised and voiced. A lot of our work has not been enough, and there's still a big gap from everyone's expectations. We will do our best to improve. The epidemic prevention and control is now at the most critical moment, and we cannot tolerate the slightest slack.”

“Xi'an is the decisive destination in the fight against the pandemic and only when the outbreak in Xi'an has been put under control can we fundamentally reverse the passive situation in the entire province [Shaanxi province].”

“The regime thinks it needs to maintain a 'zero Covid' policy to maintain its legitimacy. At a huge cost, though... Outbreaks have become so commonplace that it's really a non-event. But the Chinese authorities want to control any small potential source of instability.”

“Every locality should firmly adhere to the policy of 'Defend externally against importation, defend internally against rebound'. The current control measures cannot be relaxed.”

“Since the summit [Copenhagen Democracy Summit] is held in the name of democracy, I want to add a few things. Democracy is a common value pursued by all mankind, but there are various ways to realize it. And the democratic system of a country can only be determined by its own people. China practices a socialist democratic system, which has conformed to China's national conditions and has won wide support from its people. Take the handling of COVID-19 for example. The Chinese government rolled out the most 'hardcore' epidemic prevention and control measures, which turned out to have successfully curbed the virus spread and made China the first country to resume normal life. According to media reports, Chinese people's trust in the government reached 98 percent after the epidemic. By that, you can see what democracy looks like in China - it brings people joy and satisfaction. After 70 years of continuous efforts, the 1.4 billion Chinese people have all been lifted out of absolute poverty and I believe that ensuring its people have food to eat, houses to live in, and schools to attend, count as real democracy.”

“The [virus] situation in the mainland is so good, and places like my hometown in Ningxia [in Western China] there haven't been cases since long, long ago, so no one would really bother [getting vaccinated]. In a lot of cities there's very little chance to get infected, so they probably won't get the shot. For international students going abroad, maybe, but other people don't think it's necessary.”

“Most people in China remain susceptible to COVID-19, and elsewhere people already have antibodies and immunity, so then China will be in a very, very dangerous situation because if the virus is reintroduced, something like what happened in Wuhan might happen again. I'm not sure they can achieve [those vaccination rates] because I don't think they have a clear plan to vaccinate all of the Chinese people.”

“Throughout the year 2020, we have pooled every resource available and lost no time in delivering people-centered diplomacy. We have defied risks and danger to put up a firm line of defense for our fellow Chinese in every corner of the world. We overcame various difficulties to deliver more than 1.2 million health kits to overseas Chinese students, sent emergency medical supplies to overseas Chinese in 100-plus countries, and arranged over 350 special flights to bring home stranded Chinese nationals.”

“Given the uncontrollable factors like the novel coronavirus epidemic and trade wars, some of the quantitative targets might be missed. However, as we have been stressing, those figures [double the 2010 GDP in 2020 and average annual growth of 6.5 percent]do not matter anymore; what matters is that the trend for China to make progress in many areas, from economic growth and environmental protection to poverty alleviation, has not been disrupted by all these challenges.”

“The local authorities, they didn't like to tell the truth at that time. At the very beginning they kept silent, and then I said probably we have (a larger) number of people being infected. I didn't believe that result [41 cases for more than 10 days], so I (kept) asking and then, you have to give me the real number. I suppose they are very reluctant to answer my question.”
