  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 10 hours ago
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 16 hours ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 16 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 17 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 17 hours ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 17 hours ago

“China is through multiple channels attempting to change the policy of mutual representation and strengthening of economic relations between Taiwan and Lithuania. As the EU has emphasized, this is a sovereign decision by Lithuania. Chinese tactics to pressure Vilnius have disrupted the global economic order. Taiwan will stand firmly with Lithuania and, together with our international allies, will take practical steps to support Lithuania through these difficulties. We will continue to deepen our friendly and close relations with Lithuania, demonstrating the solidarity and resilience of democratic nations.”

“It is important that like-minded countries which share respect to international rules must be in solidarity in face of economic pressure. We must continue to share information and coordinate our actions inside the EU and with U.S. and with democratic states in Indian-Pacific ocean region.”

“Lithuania's president will ask European leaders for help in a dispute with China over diplomatic relations with Taiwan. We think this will lead to a discussion how the EU and particularly European Commission could help Lithuania in this matter. We want that the conflict to be clear to our European partners, and that the economic actions would be as wide as possible.”

“Lithuania is another cannon fodder which is not worth much in the eyes of the US. Washington is taking advantage of it. Unfortunately, it feels honored to be utilized by the US. Lithuania is resolutely putting itself in a hostile position against Russia and China. It is sad those Lithuanian politicians failed to see their shortsightedness in doing so.”

“This [hosting exiled opposition leaders from other countries] is a flagrant violation of the UN's principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign state. In other words, Lithuania was 'awarded' by the US for violating the UN Charter. The least Vilnius should do is get cocky; it should be vigilant. Otherwise, the beacon will very soon burn itself.”

“Lithuania has become a beacon of democracy in the region, and that includes hosting exiled Russian and Belarusian opposition leaders, which sets an important example for others - other allies to follow. Now, we understand the challenges that you face. The regime in Belarus has been cynically using migrants as a hybrid tactic against Lithuania and its neighbors. And meanwhile, Russia is conducting a continuous hybrid campaign of its own. And now, China is increasing its pressure on Lithuania. I commend your government for its firm policy regarding China and we know that you have faced reprisals for your principled decisions.”

“Our government's programme says Lithuania wants a more intense economic, cultural and scientific relationship with Taiwan. I want to emphasise that this step does not mean any conflict or disagreement with the 'One China' policy.”

“The Lithuanian government, in disregard of the Chinese side's strong objection and repeated dissuasion, has approved the establishment of the so-called 'Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania' by the Taiwan authorities. This act creates the false impression of 'one China, one Taiwan' in the world, flagrantly violates the one-China principle, and renounces the political commitment made by Lithuania in the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. It undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs. The Chinese government expresses strong protest over and firm objection to this extremely egregious act, and will take all necessary measures to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The Lithuanian side shall be responsible for all the ensuing consequences.”

“In the grain sector, there is a problem with the supply of raw materials. In 2020, [the sector's] sales to China amounted to around 70 million euros, and raw materials for the production of animal feed account for 90 percent of the raw materials purchased by Lithuanian companies from China. This could lead to problems. The Chinese are refusing to buy our products and are taking our goods off the shelves. There are these problems.”

“Most often, companies report that their partners in China are refusing to renew or conclude new contracts. Therefore, the ministry has taken steps to help companies find new export and import markets and to address other problems caused by China's unlawful and undeclared, and so far publicly denied actions against Lithuanian businesses.”

“I'm heartened to see vocal support from the EU [to Taiwan] in part because as Beijing tries to bully Lithuania, it's important to show that's not going to work. The EU didn't need to make this statement - it was a decision to make a statement they know would not be viewed favourably by Beijing.”

“Making the plan public at this time suggests that Biden wants to test Xi's reaction. However, judging by the very strong response from China with regard to a planned Taiwan office in Lithuania, Beijing is unlikely to just let a name change happen without protest. A name change would likely result in a suspension of US-China cooperation and might also lead to skirmishes in the East China Sea and Taiwan Strait, which would be intended to test Washington's resolve to help Taiwan in the event of a conflict with China.”

“Many European countries have representative offices with 'Taipei' as its name to maintain an unofficial relationship. However, the 'Taiwanese representative office' in Lithuania is fundamentally different as it indicates the secessionist concept of 'one China, one Taiwan'.”

“The definition of the one-China principle is not to be distorted. The Chinese people will never allow the act of flagrantly engaging in official interactions with the Taiwan authorities and even endorsing those seeking 'Taiwan independence' while paying lip service to the one-China principle. Ever since the two countries established diplomatic relations…China has always respected Lithuania's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, but Lithuania's decision to allow the Taiwan authorities to open a 'representative office' under the name of 'Taiwan' has seriously infringed upon China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and severely contravened the one-China principle.”

“China acts like a hoodlum, and it simply cannot see what is good about Taiwan. Lithuanian officials should also be invited to Taiwan for talks on direct flights between Taipei and Vilnius. We must stand up to Chinese bullying and repay Lithuania's kindness with real action.”

“China firmly opposes any official exchanges and the mutual establishment of so-called 'representative offices' between Taiwan and countries having diplomatic relations with China. We urge the Lithuanian side to adhere to the one-China principle and honor its commitment made upon the establishment of diplomatic ties. Also a word of advice to the Taiwan authorities: 'Taiwan independence' leads to a dead end and any attempt to create 'two Chinas' or 'one China, one Taiwan' will not succeed.”
