  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “If you choose to lead the nation to the abyss, we will withdraw from the government [by June 8], turn to the people, and form a government that can bring about a real victory. We did not claim dominance. We did not demand jobs. All we wanted was to serve our country and our people. For many months, the unity was indeed real and meaningful. It prevented serious mistakes, led to great achievements, and returned home over a hundred hostages. Together, we faced the hardships of the campaign, protected the nation with a good and strong spirit - and gave the fighters on the front a feeling of being backed by a shared destiny. But lately, something has gone wrong. Essential decisions were not made. A small minority has taken over the command bridge of the Israeli ship of state and is steering her toward the rocks. I came here today to tell the truth. And the truth is hard: while Israeli soldiers show supreme bravery on the front, some of the people who sent them into battle behave with cowardice and irresponsibility.” 1 hour ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Let's not forget about other fronts beyond the Kharkiv front: the Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove fronts, and the southern fronts; it's tough on all of those fronts, and our forces are fighting back with dignity. I am especially grateful to the soldiers who repelled the Russian assault on Chasiv Yar. Our forces destroyed more than 20 pieces of the occupiers' equipment. Good job!” 1 hour ago
  • António Guterres
    António Guterres “The only permanent way to end the cycle of violence and instability is through a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as capital of both states.” 3 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Civilians are dying there [on border regions such as Belgorod]. It's obvious. They are shooting directly at the city center, at residential areas. And I said publicly that if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone, a buffer zone. That is what we are doing.” 5 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “At present Ukraine is outmanned in terms of soldiers in parts of the front line even before the latest Russian attacks. Ukraine said that there were seven Russian soldiers to one Ukrainian soldier, so that's going to put fresh pressure on them.” 5 hours ago
  • 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.” 19 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.” 19 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.” 19 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.” 20 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.” 20 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.” 20 hours ago

“China is the newcomer in the region. Its footprint is quite shallow - but it is rapidly expanding. For Chinese leadership, the Western hegemony is an anomaly. It wants to dominate the 21st century in the same way as West did in 20th. It needs to reduce and replace the influence of US and the EU – with this in mind, the Black Sea and Balkans region is an attractive region for China, a fertile ground. A lot of countries are dissatisfied with the EU, they feel abandoned and patronized by the EU, China can fill this void. As the region tries to balance between West and China economically and stay in the Western sphere of influence, there will have to be political concessions. This situation is not sustainable.”

“Speaking at Tiananmen Square, Xi [Xi Jinping] laid out a vision of China's future that was self-congratulatory, triumphant and aggressive. In short, the speech was aimed at forging unity within, ensuring 'the party forever,' and advancing China's power abroad. Xi's emphasis on nationalism, recovering 'lost territories,' and remolding the international order suggest tensions with the U.S. and its allies will continue. After a century, the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] has made a strategic mistake and played its hand too early, revealing the game and the true nature of the party.”

“To engage China 'from a position of strength' is in essence an example of hegemonic mindset and Cold War mentality. It is nothing more than flexing muscles and wielding big sticks to intimidate us. The Chinese people never yield to coercion. When China was underdeveloped and only had 'millet plus rifles', we were afraid of no one. Today there is no reason for us to be afraid of the so-called position of strength. In terms of real strength, the US is still the most powerful major country in the world, and will be insurmountable for a long time to come. But no matter how powerful a country is, hegemony will lead the country to decline as it finds no support in the world. Today, if any country still wishes to hold on to its hegemonic power to rule the world and arbitrarily interfere in other countries' internal affairs, it is doomed to fail.”

“We firmly oppose any external forces interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of Xinjiang-related issues. We also hope that relevant parties will not be deceived by the lies about the so-called forced labor. No matter what kind of packaging or excuse the US uses, it will not be able to cover up lies. The essence of lies and rumors is doomed to fail. I also want to tell you that the desperate efforts to stigmatize and suppress Xinjiang cotton have made it known to more consumers and become an important name card of Xinjiang agricultural products.”

“Beijing's leadership was reading the same data as anyone else, and could see international opinion had moved away pretty decisively in the past year. Its economic relationships haven't necessarily been harmed by the negativity but clearly there is at least some consideration of whether it's sustainable to have such a negative image of China in the world. On some level this is acknowledging that something is wrong and change is needed, but the change is in the message rather than the change in policy.”

“This is not a call for greater openness, transparency and accessibility. This is a call for the party state apparatus to put out a more sugarcoated view of what's happening. Nothing I've heard makes this sound like it's encouraging press freedom. It's that: you international media should listen more intently to how we, the party state, believe we are helping the people and you should report more 'objectively' on our successes.”

“The full text of Xi's speech doesn't appear to have been widely shared. But I've seen some pretty fulsome readings of it, which I think is about the best we'll get. It's worked its way up through the party structure. The words come out of [Xi's] mouth in a study session. It obviously has his imprimatur and that of the standing committee of the Politburo. This is a recalibration. The Party, whether we accept it or not, is a thinking machine capable of recalibration.”

“It's a textbook example of a soft-power move. While China is still trailing countries like Russia [in the Balkans], this can bring a lot of people closer to Beijing. The idea is to make China more accessible and more familiar and leave an imprint on society as well. Serbia is a poster child of cooperation in the region and one of the countries that Beijing points to when it wants to show what a successful relationship can look like. We are at the beginning of this cooperation [growing cooperation of Serbian schools with Chinese universities and schools], it's still something that is being developed. We are witnessing the inception right now.”

“Since the summit [Copenhagen Democracy Summit] is held in the name of democracy, I want to add a few things. Democracy is a common value pursued by all mankind, but there are various ways to realize it. And the democratic system of a country can only be determined by its own people. China practices a socialist democratic system, which has conformed to China's national conditions and has won wide support from its people. Take the handling of COVID-19 for example. The Chinese government rolled out the most 'hardcore' epidemic prevention and control measures, which turned out to have successfully curbed the virus spread and made China the first country to resume normal life. According to media reports, Chinese people's trust in the government reached 98 percent after the epidemic. By that, you can see what democracy looks like in China - it brings people joy and satisfaction. After 70 years of continuous efforts, the 1.4 billion Chinese people have all been lifted out of absolute poverty and I believe that ensuring its people have food to eat, houses to live in, and schools to attend, count as real democracy.”

“China and other countries are closing in fast. He's deadly earnest about becoming the most significant, consequential nation in the world. He and others, autocrats, think that democracy can't compete in the 21st century with autocracies. It takes too long to get consensus.”

“We need to work on the basis of international law, follow the principle of equity and justice, and focus on effective actions. We need to uphold the UN-centered international system, comply with the objectives and principles laid out in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Paris Agreement, and strive to deliver the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development... We must join hands, not point fingers at each other; we must maintain continuity, not reverse course easily; and we must honor commitments, not go back on promises.”

“The question is: How can the US turn so many countries with different interests and opinions into bricks to build a wall against China? Washington's elaborate encirclement of China has been blown to a hideous mess just by China's normal exchanges with other countries that had been delayed by the epidemic. Under the environment of the fierce competition between China and the US, China dares to adhere to principles in other directions and stay firm when it comes to core national interests. It is because we understand that the US' ambition to encircle China seriously violates the basic reality of the international relations in the 21st century, and is doomed to fail. We can develop friendly relations with other countries in a frank and open way to safeguard our national interests.”

“The ties between Iran, China and Russia are shaping Wang's [Wang Yi - Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs] tour of the region. The partnership signed last week is a clear signal of intent that will bring Tehran into Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative. This underlines that ties among the three countries could yet grow warmer still, especially if relations between them and the West deteriorate further during the administration of US President Joe Biden. While the dialogue is deepest between Moscow and China, Tehran might increasingly be brought into the fold, which would have key implications not just for the Middle East, but for broader international relations into the 2020s.”

“This [Yang Jiechi response with passion to the US criticism toward China] is not normally the Chinese manner on such occasions. It is a sign that something has changed. There is a new sense of confidence on the part of the Chinese. That they are - or can - win the argument. That they are at least the equals of America. That they speak from a position of strength and America from a position of weakness. That history is on their side. It feels like the diplomatic equivalent of moving from 'keeping a low profile' to 'striving for achievement,' or from being a relative spectator in the global system to becoming a major architect. The Americans have hitherto always thought of themselves as running the show; the shock visible in the body language of Blinken and Sullivan was the realization, conscious or unconscious, that this was no longer the case. The same was apparent in the Western media. The BBC, for example, invariably critical of China, reported it with an unfamiliar neutrality, as if stunned by the role reversal.”
