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.” 6 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 7 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.” 17 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.” 17 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.” 17 hours ago

“When it comes to Russia's defense industrial base the primary contributor in this moment to that is China. We see China sharing machine tools, semiconductors, other dual use items that have helped Russia rebuild the defense industrial base. China can't have it both ways. It can't afford that. You want to have positive, friendly relations with countries in Europe, and at the same time, you are fueling the biggest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.”

“Semiconductors are known as the rice of industries and they are the most important area in the fourth industrial revolution. In a way, we can say our survival depends on it. As president, I always have to prepare food for the people for the future, which I don't think is a long-term task but a current task that needs to be handled in real time. I feel reassured by your presence and ask that you establish the right directions.”

“President Biden's visit to Pyeongtaek Campus [Samsung Electronics Pyeongtaek Campus] not only manifests the significance of semiconductors in economic and national security but also gives an opportunity to recall the meaning of the Korea-U.S. global comprehensive alliance through semiconductors. I ask President Biden to provide various incentives for Korean semiconductor companies' investment toward the U.S. and pay greater attention to U.S. equipment and designing companies' investments in Korea. And I hope today's visit will result in upgrading Korea-U.S. relations to become an economic security alliance which is based on advanced technologies and supply chain partnerships.".”

“[Can the world come together against China if they invade Taiwan?] Yeah, I think so. While you're sort of looking at the difference between China and Russia, I'd suggest you look at the difference economically between Taiwan and Ukraine. Taiwan makes 94 percent of all the high-end semiconductors. The West cannot tolerate China seizing control of Taiwan. So absolutely we are going to push back. Everyone is going to unite and probably even more so than with Ukraine. What we've got to do is make the consequence of China attacking Taiwan so great that they choose not to do so. That's real deterrence.”

“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.”

“We need to reduce the blast radius. We need to manage the battlefield. Cyberattacks on chip manufacturers are on the rise. There's a lot that can be done ... to not only prevent attacks but to mitigate them as they happen. Companies can limit the blast radius by setting up choke points throughout the network that isolate the spread of the attack and protect the core assets. For example, take semiconductors, we don't mind as much if someone reads someone's emails. What we want is to stop them gaining access to the assets that produce the wafers. This is done by anticipating the hacker's next move. We want to identify them, hunt them, and eradicate them without impacting operations. We can actually lure the threat actor to waste time in a different network segment where we can do no harm while we shore up defenses around the core assets.”

“The government will provide support to strengthen fiscal, tax, financial and institutional support for the crucial industries [future vehicles, bio healthcare and semiconductors] to achieve rapid growth and solidify their standing on the global stage. The growth of the three industries will not only contribute to overcoming the pandemic-triggered health and economic crisis, but also lay the foundation for the country's sustainable growth in the years to come.”

“While for now the uptick [in COVID-19 cases] hasn't had an impact, if it lasts too long there could be logistical problems [in the semiconductor industry]. That's why it's urgent. We hope the international community can help release vaccines as soon as possible to help control the outbreak. We have talked to the Biden administration and we work closely together. We expect them to help. The US government has been very supportive of Taiwan and that is under their consideration. We expect that pretty soon the White House will have a decision.”
