  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 14 hours ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 14 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “We see an unveiled intervention in the internal affairs of Georgia from the outside. This is an internal matter of Georgia. We do not want to interfere there in any way.” 14 hours ago
  • Charles Michel
    Charles Michel “If they want to join the EU, they have to respect the fundamental principles of the rule of law and the democratic principles.” 14 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Under our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support the defence and security across a range of essential capabilities - from its air force to its air defence, from drones to demining. If Russia or anyone else were to attack Ukraine, we will work with Ukraine immediately at the highest levels to coordinate how to help you beat back the threat.” 18 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “This is an unexpected, but, unfortunately for Ukraine, a very effective move. Unlike many top Russian officials, Belousov has not been involved in corruption scandals and has a reputation as a workaholic technocrat and a devout Orthodox Christian. Putin wants him to clean the Augean stables of the defence ministry so that military spending spearheads the resurgence of Russia's economy. The effectiveness of Russia's military-industrial complex will be boosted, and instead of being a 'black hole' of budget spendings, the defence ministry may become a driver of economic growth, when war spendings stimulate the growth of Russia's GDP.” 21 hours ago

“They don't want to get into this. The Chinese essentially told Joe Biden, 'Look this is a European problem. You guys deal with it'. They are worried about Taiwan, South China Sea, East China Sea. These are the three things that upset them - the India-China border is the fourth. Russia and Ukraine, they're not interested in.”

“Taiwan does not seek military confrontation. It hopes for a peaceful, stable, predictable and mutually-beneficial coexistence with its neighbours. But Taiwan will also do whatever it takes to defend its freedom and democratic way of life. The Indo-Pacific needs a peaceful, stable and transparent environment and there are many opportunities in the region. But this also brings new tensions and systemic contradictions that could have a devastating effect on international security and the global economy if they are not handled carefully. Taiwan is fully committed to collaborating with regional players to prevent armed conflict in the East China, South China Seas and in the Taiwan Strait.”

“HMS Richmond's deployment in the East China Sea identified ships acting in suspected breach of UN sanctions and tracked vessels which had previously not been flagged to the Enforcement Coordination Cell.”

“This AUKUS agreement very vividly shows that East Asia has become the focus of United States global security strategy. It's a reminder to China that if we can't ease tensions with neighbors over the South China Sea and East China Sea, the U.S. will continue trying to take advantage of this tension.”

“The name change would prompt Beijing to hit back against Washington by refusing to cooperate on issues such as climate change and the Taliban in Afghanistan. China is not going to bear with it… and would even do whatever it could to up its ante in the East and South China [seas].”

“Against Chinese action to Senkaku Islands and other parts of the East China Sea ... we have to demonstrate that the government of Japan is resolutely defending our territory with the greater number of Japanese coast guard vessels than that of China. There is no territorial dispute relating to the Senkaku Islands between Japan and other countries.”

“Making the plan public at this time suggests that Biden wants to test Xi's reaction. However, judging by the very strong response from China with regard to a planned Taiwan office in Lithuania, Beijing is unlikely to just let a name change happen without protest. A name change would likely result in a suspension of US-China cooperation and might also lead to skirmishes in the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait, which would be intended to test Washington's resolve to help Taiwan in the event of a conflict with China.”

“LSE [U.S. Navy Large-Scale Exercise] 2021 covers East China Sea, and so it is assumed to be targeting Beijing. This shows the Korean Peninsula is now at the forefront of the so-called Second Cold War.”

“We also had serious talks on China's influence over the peace and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific and the world at large. We agreed to oppose any attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion in the East and South China seas. At the same time, we agreed on the necessity for each of us to engage in frank dialogue with China and in so doing, to pursue stability of international relations while upholding universal values.”

“[The US are] concerned by language in the law [China's law that explicitly allows its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels] that expressly ties the potential use of force, including armed force, by the China coast guard to the enforcement of China's claims, and ongoing territorial and maritime disputes in the East and South China Seas. The language strongly implies this law could be used to intimidate [China's] maritime neighbours. We are further concerned that China may invoke this new law to assert its unlawful maritime claims in the South China Sea, which were thoroughly repudiated by the 2016 arbitral tribunal ruling. We remind the PRC and all whose forces operate in the South China Sea that responsible maritime forces act with professionalism and restraint in the exercise of their authorities.”

“There is just not enough shared strategic interest or shared desire to accept risk on the military front. The way that the four different Quad members view their interests in the Indo-Pacific leads them to prioritise different areas. For instance, for the US, South China Sea and East China Sea are vital. Same goes for Japan. And for Australia, it also includes the Western Pacific. But for India, the Quad is about the Indian Ocean and South China Sea is a secondary theatre. So, while India may be willing to help with capacity-building, it’s not going to actually take risks that might involve violence or escalation in the South China Sea. It’s one thing for India to have a tense, antagonistic relationship with Beijing. It’s another for India to be part of an explicit coalition that seeks to contain Beijing. That would feel far too much like being part of a bloc. And India historically has resisted that.”

“The Senkaku Islands are an inherent territory of Japan, both historically and under international law, and are actually effectively controlled. The Chinese side is not in a position to create a website for the Senkaku Islands, which is a territory of Japan, and claims based on the Chinese side’s position are not accepted. From this point of view, we have protested about the website through diplomatic channels and requested that it be deleted.”

“The Liaoning is too old to be a warship as its hull was built in 1985. China’s blue-water navy should be based on the new-generation carrier strike groups like Type 002, or even future Type 003 carriers, and other advanced warships. China has three fleets to take care of the Yellow Sea, East and South China seas, with each fleet demanding two aircraft carriers. Unlike the US Navy which has a global strategy, all China’s aircraft carriers can only be used for offshore defence because of China’s geographic location, where all neighbours keep a close eye on it.”

“The Doklam affair [military standoff occurred between China and India as China attempted to extend a road on the Doklam plateau southwards] illustrated China's proclivity to miscalculate and overreach. India's refusal to bend while talking peace offers China's other neighbours an example of how to manage Chinese coercion. Doklam also raises a broader question: Had the US stood up to China in the South China Sea, would the seven artificial and now-militarised islands have been created? It is China's success in altering the status quo there - without incurring any international costs - that has emboldened its territorial revisionism in the East China Sea and the Himalayas.”
