  • Cheong Seong-chang
    Cheong Seong-chang “If Seoul chooses to resume anti-North broadcast via loudspeakers along the border, which Pyongyang dislikes as much as anti-Kim balloons, it could lead to limited armed conflict along border areas, such as in the West Sea.” 14 hours ago
  • Olaf Scholz
    Olaf Scholz “And because the threat from Russia will continue, we and other allies decided last year to deploy additional units to the Baltic states and to station an entire brigade there permanently in future. But this turnaround in security policy is necessary to show Russia: We are prepared to defend every square inch of NATO territory against attacks.” 20 hours ago
  • Dong Jun
    Dong Jun “We have always been open to exchanges and cooperation [with the US], but this requires both sides to meet each other halfway. We believe that we need more exchanges precisely because there are differences between our two militaries.” 20 hours ago
  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “While we conduct our important military actions, the defence establishment is simultaneously assessing a governing alternative to Hamas. We will isolate areas (in Gaza), remove Hamas operatives from these areas and introduce forces that will enable an alternative government to form - an alternative that threatens Hamas. We will not accept the rule of Hamas in Gaza at any stage in any process aimed at ending the war.” 20 hours ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “This was an Israeli proposal. We have every expectation that if Hamas agrees to the proposal - as was transmitted to them, an Israeli proposal - then Israel would say yes.” 22 hours ago
  • Dong Jun
    Dong Jun “Those separatists recently made fanatical statements that show their betrayal of the Chinese nation and their ancestors. They will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. The Chinese People's Liberation Army has always been an indestructible and powerful force in defence of the unification of the motherland, and it will act resolutely and forcefully at all times to curb the independence of Taiwan and to ensure that it never succeeds in its attempts. Whoever dares to split Taiwan from China will be crushed to pieces and suffer his own destruction.” 23 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “The United States has confirmed its attendance at a high level. We have a chance that the President [US President Joe Biden] will be there. As for China, they have not confirmed their attendance at any level. And the United States has contacts with some states and encourages them to attend the Peace Summit. China, unfortunately, on the contrary, is working to prevent countries from coming to the Peace Summit. There is a big difference between these two stances.” 23 hours ago

“For the record, we do not want war with China. China is a good friend. We owed it a big debt of gratitude, among others for the vaccines [it has donated to us]. So China, let it be known, is a good friend and we do not want trouble with them especially a war. But there are things which are not really subject to a compromise… I hope they will understand, but I have the interest of my country also to protect. It might not really be an armed might, but it is really a claim of sovereignty which I cannot [impose yet]. That is ours. China must understand that if need be, we will — I don't know what will happen next. We've done the legal [part].”

“Well, it doesn't [referring to claims made by a spokesperson of China's Mission in Brussels that stated that Julian Felipe Reef (or Whitsun Reef) 'belongs to China']. It belongs to the Philippines whatever native journalists are paid to say to the contrary. The Philippines will never give it up.”

“An armed attack against the Philippines' armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific, including in the South China Sea, will trigger our obligations under the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty. We share the concerns of our Philippine allies regarding the continued reported massing of PRC maritime militia near the Whitsun Reef.”

“The Chinese Ambassador has a lot of explaining to do. As of our latest maritime and aerial surveillance, there are still forty-four (44) Chinese vessels that are in Julian Felipe Reef. I am no fool. The weather has been good so far, so they have no other reason to stay there. These vessels should be on their way out. Umalis na kayo diyan [Get out of there in Tagalog]. We have already lodged our diplomatic protest stating unequivocally our stand on the issue. We, again, reiterate our demand for the Chinese to leave our sovereign territories and abide by international law.”

National Task Force - West Philippine Sea

“The NTF-WPS [National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea] reiterates its assertion of Philippine sovereignty, and sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the KIG [Kalayaan Island Group] and West Philippine Sea (WPS), and expresses deep concern over the continuing unlawful presence (swarming) of the Chinese Maritime Militia (CMM), which did not pull out and have remained in Julian Felipe (Whitsun) Reef and are now in other areas of the Kalayaan Island Group in the Municipality of Kalayaan, Palawan... The Philippines calls on China to immediately withdraw these vessels flying its flag. NTF-WPS stands by its observation that these so-called 'fishing' vessels are maritime militia. Their build-up and massing formation from Julian Felipe Reef to other areas of the Kalayaan Island Group is hazardous to navigation and safety of life at sea. They may be doing illicit activities at night and their lingering (swarming) presence may cause irreparable damage to the marine environment due to marine pollution and destruction of coral reefs. Their swarming also poses a threat to the peaceful exercise of sovereign rights of the Philippines in its EEZ [exclusive economic zone].”
