  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “In a broader sense, we are working to contribute to the development and prosperity of Russia and China by enhancing equal, mutually beneficial economic and humanitarian cooperation, and strengthen foreign policy coordination in the interests of building a just multipolar world order. All this is the key to a future success of our comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for the new era. The partnership between Russia and China is always based on equality and mutual trust, mutual respect for sovereignty, and consideration of each other's interests. President Xi Jinping, a wise and visionary leader, plays a special and prominent role in the development of bilateral relations. We first met back in March 2010, and we have been seeing and calling each other regularly ever since. President Xi maintains a respectful, friendly, open and at the same time business-like style of communication.” 8 hours ago
  • Yair Lapid
    Yair Lapid “The government has lost control. Soldiers are being killed every day in Gaza and they fight among themselves on television. The cabinet is disassembled and non-functional. Ministers protest in front of cabinet meetings. One cabinet sends humanitarian aid convoys and the other burns them. Relations with the US are collapsing, the middle class is collapsing, they have lost the north. We can't go on like this. We will not win with this government.” 9 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We have said many times that whoever is quicker to master the newest means of armed combat wins. We have to be one step ahead. We have everything we need for this, and much has been done, but we need to double and triple our efforts in this area.” 14 hours ago
  • Alena Kudzko
    Alena Kudzko “That is definitely not something that anybody in Slovakia expected. The country has been polarised over the past year amid heightened political tension, especially in the run-up to the elections. But nobody … called for violence in the country. Quite the opposite, everybody right now is trying to unite and send a coherent message, that political violence is not something that we support.” 14 hours ago

“Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.”

“If China failed to take control of Taiwan bloodlessly then they are going to look at a military invasion in my judgement. We have to be prepared for this. The odds are very high that we could see a conflict with China and Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.”

“Seoul's publishing of its own Indo-Pacific strategy is an effort to depart from the previous Moon Jae-in government's policy of strategic ambiguity and stress clarity in South Korea's diplomatic stance. The strategy serves as a tool to remove uncertainties on whether South Korea will express its stance about a certain diplomatic or international issue. However, it remains to be seen how Seoul will apply those strategies in actual diplomatic circumstances.”

“The Indo-Pacific strategy is a comprehensive regional strategy aimed at facilitating our national interests in the region, whose geopolitical importance is ever growing. President Yoon Suk-yeol has been reiterating the importance of freedom and solidarity, and the values are reflected in the Indo-Pacific strategy. It will help foreign governments understand the value that we pursue and improve the country's' credibility in the international society. Inclusiveness means that we will not target or exempt any specific nation, and we are open to every partner nation sharing our vision and principles.”

“The United States is not going to be intimidated by China's threats or bellicose rhetoric. We will continue to support Taiwan, defend a free and open Indo-Pacific and seek to maintain communication with Beijing. United States will not engage in sabre-rattling. China might engage in economic coercion toward Taiwan. The impact on American-Chinese relations will depend on Beijing's actions in the coming days and weeks.”

“While the U.S.-China rivalry has been showing signs of turning into a zero-sum game, deciding whether to join the chip alliance is a really complicated issue even for the Yoon administration, which supports the U.S.' Indo-Pacific strategy against China while seeking to build a bilateral relationship of mutual respect with Beijing. The previous strategic ambiguity between the U.S. and China meant we would not suffer a loss or pay a cost while benefiting from them, but that era has ended and now we are facing a situation in which that we have to put up with a loss or shoulder expenses. Should Korea not join the alliance, Japan would try to fill our absence, and in consideration of that, we will be in a position to accept the U.S. invitation.”

“Collaboration among countries sharing universal values becomes ever more vital. We must collaborate with our allies and like-minded countries, and never tolerate a unilateral attempt to change the status quo by the use of force in the Indo-Pacific [region], especially in East Asia. Ukraine may be East Asia tomorrow. Peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is critical not only for Japan's security, but also for the stability of international society. Japan maintains its position to expect a peaceful resolution through dialogue to issues surrounding Taiwan, and the situation will be watched carefully from that perspective.”

“NATO must have a global outlook, ready to tackle global threats. We need to pre-empt threats in the Indo-Pacific, working with our allies like Japan and Australia to ensure the Pacific is protected, and we must ensure that democracies like Taiwan are able to defend themselves.”

“Despite Russia's recent ruthlessness, it is, unlike China, a fundamentally declining power. Rather than become overly focused on the threat of a diplomatically isolated and economically feeble Russia, the West should allocate more resources to countering China in the Indo-Pacific and deterring an invasion of Taiwan.”

“There are a few other things going on in the world right now, some of you may have noticed. We have a bit of a challenge with Ukraine and Russian aggression. We're working 24/7 on that, but we know, the [US] president [Joe Biden] knows better than anyone else, that so much of this century is going to be shaped by what happens here in the Indo-Pacific region. The Indo-Pacific is the fastest-growing region in the world, accounting for two-thirds of global economic growth over the past five years and home to half of the world's population. What matters in the region matters around the world, and challenges such as climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be tackled by any nation alone. More than ever before, we need partnerships, we need alliances, we need coalitions of countries willing to put their efforts, their resources, their minds into tackling these problems. What really drives us is a shared vision of a free and open society.”

“The key message that the secretary [Antony Blinken] will take with him on this trip is that our partnerships deliver. The Quad is a key component of US foreign economic and security policy in the Indo-Pacific region … It's through this partnership that we're strengthening the security environment in the region to push back against aggression and coercion.”

“We must remind the Beijing authorities to not misjudge the situation and to prevent the internal expansion of 'military adventurism'. Authorities in Beijing should stop the spread of military adventurism within their ranks. The use of military means is absolutely not an option for resolving the differences between our two sides. To ease tension in the region, both Taipei and Beijing must work hard to take care of people's livelihoods and calm the hearts of the people in order to find peaceful solutions to problems together. We will hold fast to our sovereignty, uphold the values ​​of freedom and democracy, defend territorial sovereignty and national security, and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“The KMT's decision to set up an office in [Washington] is aimed at better communication of our policy positions to Washington's policy communities, clarifying misinformation [on the party] … renewing friendships and making new ones. In the perceived long competition between the US and the People's Republic of China, the elites from Washington to Wall Street are in fact sided with US interests, not the DPP or the KMT. We truly believe that, especially in the next six to 10 years, both the US and Taiwan need to 'buy time' in dealing with a rapid expansion of the PRC's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The KMT is the party that can better maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait - a shared first priority between the US and Taiwan - by enhancing defence capability while mitigating threats at the same time.”

“Fundamentally all defence purchases are aimed at maintaining the balance of power against adversaries, but I think India understands that defence ties with Russia and the US are serving different purposes beyond basic capability-based arithmetic. The US is an Indo-Pacific power with skin in the game against China. Russia is able to share sensitive strategic technologies. Both work to India's advantage in different ways.”

“An adventure in military affairs, if pursued by such a huge economy like China's, could be suicidal to say the least. We must urge them not to pursue territorial expansion and restrain from provoking, often bullying, their neighbours because it would harm their own interests. Japan, the US and Taiwan should spare no effort in building our capabilities in all domains - from the undersea, sea surface, air space to the cyber and outer space to counter security threats in the region. Lest we forget, weakness invites provocations. With that in mind, I worked hard first to reinvest into the alliance with the US, second to widen our boundary from Asia-Pacific to Indo-Pacific, and third to launch the Quad process.”

“The relevant Pentagon report fully exposes the true intention of the US to militarize the Indo-Pacific and go all out to encircle and contain China. The development of China's national defense forces is entirely out of the need to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain international and regional peace and security. This is fundamentally different from the US' flagrant sabre-rattling around the world, hegemonic and bullying practices and disruption in regional peace and stability. We firmly oppose the US side's attempt to justify its moves to increase military expenditure, expand military build-up and maintain military hegemony with the 'China threat theory'. The US side should abandon the Cold-War mentality of creating imaginary enemies and stop words and deeds that threaten international peace and security.”

“By focusing on Guam, Australia and the Pacific Islands, the US is admitting that China has become powerful enough to break the first island chain, so it is now stepping back to the second island chain. If the US still believes in its absolute strength, the US should enhance its deterrence in places like the Philippines, Japan, South Korea and the island of Taiwan in order to contain China. By staying farther away from China, the US has more defense lines and strategic depth, and this is an indication that the US is taking China very seriously as a powerful opponent.”

“While some people have questioned whether Washington's actions over the past year have convinced anyone that it would get involved in a Taiwan-China conflict, it is noteworthy that the US' Indo-Pacific strategy hinges upon the integrity of the first island chain. The fall of Taiwan would put US bases in Japan, South Korea and Guam at risk, and would make US allies in the region question its ability and resolve to protect its interests. Therefore, there should be no question that despite its official stance of maintaining 'strategic ambiguity', the US is exceedingly likely to use its military to defend Taiwan. It would also not be alone in doing so, with Australia, Japan and South Korea likely to join, bolstered by the forces in Taiwan itself, which the US has been training and equipping.”

“The goal of America's China policy is to create a circumstance in which two major powers are going to have to operate in an international system for the foreseeable future. And we want the terms of that kind of co-existence in the international system to be favorable to American interests and values. Under such a circumstance, the rules of the road reflect an open, fair, free Indo-Pacific region and an open, fair, as well as free international economic systems. One of the errors of previous approaches to policy toward China has been a view that through US policy, we would bring about a fundamental transformation of the Chinese system, which is not the object of the Biden administration.”
