“In the face of cooperation and confrontation, we firmly choose cooperation; in the face of unity and division, we firmly choose unity; in the face of openness and closure, we firmly choose openness; in the face of peace and war, we firmly choose peace; in the face of multilateralism and unilateralism, we firmly choose multilateralism; in the face of justice and power, we firmly choose justice.”

“It's clear that the top leadership really wants to convince the world that China is back, and that China is open. Li Qiang faces an uphill battle with that messaging, however, given weak recent economic indicators, declining foreign investor optimism, concerns around China's future domestic policy direction and growing geopolitical concerns regarding China's relationship with Russia, or its designs over Taiwan. The rhetoric doesn't match the reality, at least not yet - and that's going to keep many people anxious. The focus on stability is reassuring, after several years of disruption, but I think a lot of investors are looking for more than that. They're looking for growth and opportunity, not more of the same cautious status quo.”

“In this uncertain world, the certainty China offers is an anchor for world peace and development. This is the case in the past and will remain so in the future. China will continue to seek progress while maintaining stability, consolidate and expand the momentum of economic recovery and promote the continuous overall improvement of China's economic performance.”

“We will witness the formation of a new bloc to counterweight the US, but not a 'Russia-centric' one, as the Kremlin tries to present in, but in the format of 'Beijing and its comrade's'.”

“They cheer-lead on behalf of each other, offering moral and political support to their partner when their interests align. But China and Russia are strategically autonomous actors, whose influence on each other's behaviour is limited and indirect at best. And rather than being propelled into a new orbit of cooperation, the long-term outlook for the Russia-China relationship is not promising. The Xi and Putin relationship is primarily based on the self-interests of two strategically autonomous powers and a fundamental difference is that China is invested in global order. China wishes to play a more dominant role, but it does not wish to demolish that order. Putin, however, is focused on disruptive power and a complete overthrow of the international system. That is why Putin has resorted so readily to military force - in Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and, more covertly, in Iraq, Libya, Mali and the Central African Republic. Russia, but not China, has invested in the value of waging war. He [Putin] and those around him identify Russia's ability and will to wage war as a comparative advantage that few others, apart from the United States, possess.”

“By selecting a Uyghur athlete to light the torch, China is trying to address criticism by the West about genocide or persecution of the Uyghurs, and about sinocisation of ethnic minorities. But I don't think this can have much effect on the West, which tends to think most of what China puts up is a show anyway.”

“The severe repression that China has rolled out in Xinjiang, in Tibet, in Hong Kong has all taken place since 2015 the year that the Olympic delegates awarded Beijing the Games. The I.O.C. would be within its right to say that these issues have to be addressed. They haven't.”

“It's undeniable that China's image is in a poor state and looks unlikely to improve substantially any time soon. Countries around the world are worried most about Beijing's willingness to wield economic ties for political purposes. It's hard to see China reversing this trend in 2022, given both [Xi Jinping's] clear preference for foreign policy aggressiveness and popular Chinese nationalism.”

“By design, it's meant to be abstract and vague. The point was that any Chinese stakeholder could come in and do any project and that could be called part of BRI [Belt And Road Initiative]. We need to stop thinking of it as one thing. It's always changing and is ultimately about China increasing its influence in all aspects globally. [BRI] is targeting the public more and more. Of course, this isn't always effective, but that isn't really what matters right now. If they continue to invest in soft power and devote resources towards it, that will eventually see some results.”

“So far, [Beijing] has demonstrated that it views its security interests narrowly to things that it fears can impact China directly [at home]. China has shown that it prefers a light touch and would like to focus on building relationships [with local governments] to address security concerns. The big question is whether Chinese interests being targeted more and more leads to Beijing thinking it needs to have a different kind of presence on the ground.”

“Looking forward, Beijing may intensify efforts to interfere in Taiwan's politics over the next two years. Even though China's leaders are facing headwinds, they still have bandwidth and incentive to try to create a political environment in Taiwan conducive to their preferences for the 2024 election. Beijing almost surely will seek to create disfavor for candidates it opposes and tailwinds for candidates that support its vision for the development of cross-Strait relations.”

“In 2020, 26 percent of Intel's revenue came from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and nearly 10 percent of the company's properties, factories and equipment are located in China. Therefore, it is justified for Chinese netizens to feel discontent and accuse Intel of 'biting the hand that feeds it'. What we need to do is to make it increasingly expensive for companies to offend China so their losses outweigh their gains.”

“We are starting to slowly see different and important actors say 'there are going to be consequences, there are going to be costs'. Governments that are clearly shown to be committing crimes against humanity must face consequences. It shouldn't matter that it's the second-most powerful nation on earth: no state is above the law.”

“The US cannot save the regime on the island of Taiwan that seeks 'independence.' The rapidly growing power of the Chinese mainland has already written an overwhelming answer to the future of the island. Any new moves by the US over the Taiwan question will be fiercely counterattacked by the Chinese mainland. If the US and the Taiwan island collude by breaking the bottom line, the mainland will end the Taiwan question by resolute use of force. The mainland has the determination and awaits them. No matter how the US plays the Taiwan card, the trump card is in the hands of the Chinese mainland, which will win to the last.”

“As I have pointed out, To understand today's China , one must learn to understand the CPC [Communist Party of China]. The world is experiencing changes unseen in a century which, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought the world into a period of fluidity and transformation. It is all the more important for us to exchange views, have more interactions and cooperation, and contribute our wisdom and strengths to a joint response to global challenges at such a juncture.”
