“We need to figure out here now, within a matter of days, whether this is doable in the short term, because if it's not, then I think we're just going to move on. If it's not possible, if we're so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president is probably at a point where he's going to say, 'well, we're done'.”

“They can certainly keep Ukraine in the fight. A lot of it depends on what the US does. We have to be careful about that. If the US actually moves to fully backing Russia and provides Russia with a significant amount of intelligence and support, that will be really a problem for Ukraine and Europe. But assuming, say, the US just pulls out and washes its hands of it, Europe has the resources to keep Ukraine going. It would require mobilisation, effort, a significant amount of commitment on Europe's part. So far, they've not, I think, shown the united will to do that, but they certainly could do it if they wanted to. They have the money. They have the technological know-how. They even have the military equipment to make a significant difference.”

“There are no winners in a trade war, or a tariff war. Our two countries [China and Vietnam] should resolutely safeguard the multilateral trading system, stable global industrial and supply chains, and open and cooperative international environment.”
“There will be no winners in a tariff war, and going against the world will only isolate oneself. For more than 70 years, China has always relied on self-reliance and hard work for development. It has never relied on anyone's gifts and is unafraid of any unreasonable suppression.”
“We both attach great importance to interaction, hope for a good start of the China-U.S. relationship during the new U.S. presidency and are willing to secure greater progress in China-U.S. relations from a new starting point.”
“We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same family. No one can ever sever the bond of kinship between us. No one can block the historical momentum of the reunification of the motherland.”
“China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged, following the election. China is ready to work with the new U.S. administration to maintain communication, expand cooperation and manage differences.”
“A stable, healthy and sustainable China-US relationship is in the common interest of both countries and is in line with the expectations of the international community. The two countries must find a correct way… to get along in this new era, to benefit both countries and the world.”
“As the world enters a new period defined by turbulence and transformation, we are confronted with pivotal choices that will shape our future. Should we allow the world to descend into the abyss of disorder and chaos, or should we strive to steer it back on the path of peace and development? The more tumultuous our times become, the more firmly we must stand at the forefront, exhibiting tenacity, demonstrating the audacity to pioneer and displaying the wisdom to adapt, adding that China is willing to work with all BRICS countries to open a new horizon in the high-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation. We should build a BRICS committed to peace, and we must all act as defenders of common security. Only by embracing the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security can we pave the way for universal security.”
“China's commitment to the goal of stable, healthy, and sustainable development of China-US relations hasn't changed. We hope that the US will work with China to meet each other halfway.”
“China will, as always, firmly support Venezuela's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty, national dignity and social stability, and firmly support Venezuela's just cause of opposing external interference.”
“Only when all major powers project positive energy rather than negative energy can a ceasefire occur. It is in the interests of all parties to seek a political solution through an early ceasefire.”
“China will continue to unswervingly promote friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation with Tajikistan...firmly support Tajikistan's efforts to safeguard national independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”
“We should join hands to resist external interference, firmly support each other, take care of each other's concerns … and firmly control of the future and destiny of our countries and regional peace and development in our own hands. It is of vital importance to the world that the SCO be on the right side of history and on the side of fairness and justice.”
“I proposed mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation to be the three overarching principles. They are both lessons learned from the past and a guide for the future.”
“First, we should prioritize the upholding of peace and stability and refrain from seeking selfish gains. Second, we should cool down the situation and not add fuel to the fire. Third, we need to create conditions for the restoration of peace and refrain from further exacerbating tensions. Fourth, we should reduce the negative impact on the world economy and refrain from undermining the stability of global industrial and supply chains.”
“President Putin and I have agreed to continue to maintain close exchanges to ensure the smooth and steady development of China-Russia relations. The two sides should take the opportunity of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties and the China-Russia Years of Culture to fully implement the important consensus reached by President Putin and me. China supports the Russian people in following a development path that suits their national conditions, and supports Russia in combating terrorism and maintaining social security and stability. China always attaches great importance to the development of China-Russia relations, and stands ready to strengthen bilateral communication with Russia and enhance multilateral strategic coordination in BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The two countries will show more responsibility, unite countries in the Global South in the spirit of equality, openness, transparency and inclusiveness, promote the reform of the global governance system, and vigorously lead the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.”
“China is building a first-class business environment that is market oriented. In traditional areas like trade and new ones such as climate change and artificial intelligence, China and the United States should become boosters for each other's development, not obstructions on each other.”
“The reunification of the motherland is a historical inevitability. Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be bound by a common sense of purpose and share in the glory of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.”
“China regards Europe as a comprehensive strategic partner and an important pole in a multipolar world. It is hoped that Germany will push the EU to uphold the principles of marketisation and fairness, and work with China to safeguard fair market competition and free trade.”
“In the face of an unstable and uncertain international environment, China is willing to continue to work with Syria in the interests of friendly cooperation and safeguarding international fairness and justice. China supports Syria's opposition to foreign interference, unilateral bullying … and will support Syria's reconstruction. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Syria through the Belt and Road Initiative … to make positive contributions to regional and world peace and development.”
“There is no universal model of government and there is no world order where the decisive word belongs to a single country. Global solidarity and peace without splits and upheavals is in the common interests of all mankind.”
