IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 8 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 8 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 8 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 8 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 8 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 9 hours ago
  • Ants Kiviselg
    Ants Kiviselg “The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the recently opened Kharkiv front, but their pace is slowing down. This and the nature of their behaviour rather indicate a desire to create a buffer zone. Russian troops have attacked and destroyed important bridges in the area of Vovchansk, which creates a natural barrier between Ukrainian and Russian forces. This is more an indication of the intention of Russian forces to build a defensive line than to create a bridgehead for an advance on Kharkiv.” 18 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Russia is ready and able to continuously power the Chinese economy, businesses, cities and towns with affordable and environmentally clean energy.” 18 hours ago
  • Alexey Muraviev
    Alexey Muraviev “There are limits to the two nations' ties, despite their insistence that it is limitless. The limits are that the two countries don't have a formal alliance agreement. To me, that's very clearly a sign that there are limitations to what seems to be a limitless relationship. Neither side is prepared to unconditionally commit to support each other on issues like Ukraine.” 18 hours ago

“Washington and its allies have sought to suppress China's tech sector with no regard for the potential damage the technological iron curtain may cause to global supply and industrial chains. But now the question is how long Washington can ignore the warning over the consequences when China starts taking legitimate and reasonable measures to safeguard its national security and interests. Compared with the US pressuring allies to cooperate on chip bans against China, China's move this time may be more of a warning, showing that China will not be passively squeezed out of the global semiconductor supply chain.”

“Taiwan will use the fund to invest in the areas of semiconductors, lasers, biotechnologies and research in Lithuania. It will also send a team to assess Lithuania's aspirations to develop a semiconductor industry. An even larger fund for investments backed by Taiwan's central bank is in the works. Taiwan is committed to accelerate the process for Lithuania as Lithuania faces such unprecedented economic coercion in international trade history.”

“The big concern in Washington is the possibility of Beijing gaining control of Taiwan's semiconductor capacity. It would be a devastating blow for the US economy and the ability of the US military to field its [weapon] platforms.”

“Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing equipment should be strengthened, the government should also help semiconductor manufacturers by nurturing their upstream and downstream supplies to build resilience for local industry, as Taiwan still relies heavily on Japan to import various chemicals and materials.”

“Even though Taiwan enterprises can produce the most advanced chips in the world, they also need an industry that has advanced equipment makers to purchase those chips.”

“The American automobile industry is currently facing a chip supply issue, but it is primarily a function of the industry itself miscalculating its production needs. At the onset of the pandemic, the U.S. auto industry significantly reduced its orders for chips, expecting a significant reduction in demand for vehicles. That drop in vehicle demand did not materialize fully, and the industry is therefore left with existing chip orders that do not match their manufacturing needs. Companies make orders for chips based on expected demand, and those orders are executed along legally contracted boundaries. The absence of enough chips to run American plants is absolutely not a function of any deliberate punitive actions by a Taiwan company. It is instead the result of American manufacturers failing to order enough chips. The suggestion that this situation is a function of punitive action by a Taiwan company is manifestly incorrect. Additionally, the view that the U.S government can pressure companies, foreign and domestic, to make changes to legally binding contracts to accommodate preferred business sectors raises serious concerns about the nature of international commerce and the laws that govern it.”

“The current [US] administration is looking for a simple way to gain control over China’s industrial growth. Since probably every semiconductor in the world is made using at least one tool from a US-based company, the US Department of Commerce expects to be able to use semiconductor trade restrictions to give it control over China’s participation in the electronics market.”
