  • Tal Beeri
    Tal Beeri “So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.” 14 hours ago

  • Sam Rose
    Sam Rose “People are petrified. People have been fearing this for a long, long time and it is now upon us. There is constant bombardment. There is smoke on the horizon. There are people on the move. Israel is subjecting Gaza to a medieval siege in a scorched earth war. No aid has come into Gaza now since Sunday. No aid, no fuel, no supplies, nothing. And we really are now down to our last reserves. We have a few more days of flour that we can provide. But everything else will start to shut down very soon without fuel, without water. So the situation is really desperate.” 20 hours ago
  • Shirley Yu
    Shirley Yu “Both trade and Russia are non-negotiable for China. Macron could not achieve anything [on those fronts]. Macron shares one vision in common with Xi, which is that the US hegemony - including the quest for Europe's allegiance to the US's foreign policy - must yield to a multipolar global order by accommodating the rising powers' interests and concerns. Macron's recent visits to India and Brazil also prove that France wants to stay at the forefront of that global shift.” 20 hours ago
  • Jason Straziuso
    Jason Straziuso “The food and water and medical supplies situation is critical and if this continues, then we move towards catastrophic, or even more catastrophic, consequences from the situation that we now see. International Committee of the Red Cross is constantly asking Israeli officials to allow access to humanitarian goods following the shutdown of the crossings. The Israeli officials know that we are desperate to bring in more supply trucks which we have waiting to cross the border as soon as they're able to. There's conversations also taking place about the need to spare civilian lives - no targeting of civilians, no targeting of civilian objects, meaning buildings, schools, medical facilities. Those talks have been happening for months.” 21 hours ago
  • Marwan Bishara
    Marwan Bishara “Something incredibly important is happening in the world today. Israel is getting a beating around the world, while Palestine is getting a beating in the Middle East. Palestine the cause - whether it's at the United Nations or Western capitals or university campuses - is certainly gaining ground.” 21 hours ago

“We know that Beijing continues to coerce, to intimidate and to make claims to the vast majority of the South China Sea. Beijing's actions continue to undermine the rules-based order and threaten the sovereignty of nations. The United States stands with our allies and partners in the face of these threats.”

“The US doesn't want to give the credit of mediating the Palestine-Israel conflict to China, especially when China is the president of the UNSC [UN Security Council]. This is a key reason why the US is reluctant to let the mediation work go through the UNSC. Every time the UN meets to talk about the Palestine-Israel conflict, the US always sits in the the dock for the defendant, so Washington normally prefers to engage with both sides under the table rather than letting the international community get involved. This is the key reason why any solution or ceasefire between Israel and Gaza or other forces in the region would be temporary. The Biden administration always says its diplomacy prioritizes human rights, especially when interfering in other countries' internal affairs, but when there is horrific human rights disaster caused by its ally's military operations in Gaza, which is an overreaction to Hamas' attack, the hypocrisy and double standards of the US has been exposed again.”

“There’s no doubt that China poses the most significant challenge to us of any other country, but it’s a complicated one. There are adversarial aspects to the relationship, there’s certainly competitive ones, and there’s still some cooperative ones, too. But whether we’re dealing with any of those aspects of the relationship, we have to be able to approach China from a position of strength, not weakness. And that strength, I think, comes from having strong alliances, something China does not have; actually engaging in the world and showing up in these international institutions, because we when pull back, China fills in and then they’re the ones writing the rules and setting the norms of these institutions; standing up for our values when China is challenging them, including in Xinjiang against the Uyghurs or democracy in Hong Kong; making sure that our military is postured so that it can deter Chinese aggression; and investing in our own people so that they can fully compete.”

“These sanctions are a badge I wear with honor. We should not bend the knee to the China bully. When you confront a bully, they back down - especially if you have your friends by your side. That's why we formed the Clean Network Alliance of Democracies. It's been such a success.”

“The severe damage to China-US relations over the past four years was caused precisely because the Trump administration made fundamental mistakes in its strategic perception of China. The Trump administration viewed China as its biggest strategic competitor, or enemy, leading to various means to interfere in China’s internal affairs and every effort to suppress, slander and smear China. I think the new administration should serve the wishes of the people, view China in a rational and objective light, and work with China on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit to put China-US relations back on the track of healthy and stable development as soon as possible.”

“Unless there is some basis for some cooperative action, the world will slide into a catastrophe comparable to World War I. America and China are now drifting increasingly toward confrontation, and they’re conducting their diplomacy in a confrontational way. The danger is that some crisis will occur that will go beyond rhetoric into actual military conflict.”

“Our leaders and [China’s] leaders have to discuss the limits beyond which they will not push threats, and how to define that. You can say this is totally impossible, but if it is, we will slide into a situation similar to World War I.”

“The world needs a global ceasefire to stop all “hot” conflicts. At the same time, we must do everything to avoid a new cold war. We are moving in a very dangerous direction. Our world cannot afford a future where the two largest economies split the globe in a Great Fracture — each with its own trade and financial rules and Internet and artificial intelligence capacities. A technological and economic divide risks inevitably turning into a geostrategic and military divide. We must avoid this at all costs.”

“A few months ago, as the world was coming to grips with the reality of the global pandemic, one of China’s leading virologists warned that the coronavirus was “just the tip of the iceberg.” She was speaking as an epidemiologist and urging a global response to prevent future outbreaks, but that analogy is a useful way to think about CCP aggression and malign activities globally. For each visible example of CCP malign activity worldwide, there are many more lurking beneath the surface. Part of our job in the Department, and especially in the EAP Bureau, is to help bring more of that iceberg into the open for other nations to see the CCP for what it truly is – an aggressive, autocratic, ambitious, paranoid, hostile threat to free and open societies and the free and open international order.”

“Now is the time for China to ask the United States not to interfere in China’s internal affairs. The National People’s Congress [China’s rubber-stamp parliament] has never discussed formulating bills targeting the internal affairs of the United States, but the US Congress has frequently introduced various bills on the internal affairs of China. The US has gone too far and stretched its hands too long! We suggest some people in the US better manage their own affairs first, abide by the principles of international relations and stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.”

“Now we are not sure if the US would dare to establish formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan or not, and what China can do is to prepare for the worst-case scenario and speed up its military preparation. Once the US breaks the bottom line, the mainland must solve the problem by force once and for all.”

“The China hawks in the US government are baiting China to fire the first shot and cause an accident, so that the Trump administration could distract the public from its failures. We cannot play into their hands, and we must respond to their provocations with calm and prudence. Meanwhile, we must seek dialogue with the US when the opportunity arises. Conversation is still better than confrontation. Only through high-level exchanges can we reduce our misunderstandings.”

“The risk of conflict requires careful management by all the parties concerned. We expect and hope that Beijing will continue to exercise restraint consistent with their obligations as a major regional power. There continue to be significant concerns over the potential for accidents, given increased military activity in the region. Therefore we believe it would be important for all parties to maintain open lines and communication to prevent misinterpretations or miscalculations.”

“Sending him to Taiwan shows respect for the old framework while putting a finger in China's eye at the same time. The fact that they didn't choose to send a national security adviser or someone else suggests they are trying to come as close as possible to China's red line but don't want to cross it.”

“The [PLA People's Liberation Army] drill comes not long after the US conducted dual carrier drills, so it’s plausible it was aimed at showing resolve and the ability to threaten the movement of carriers transiting the South China Sea. The use of H-6 bombers suggested the drill might have been training for maritime strikes on US Navy carrier strike groups. After Pompeo’s statement [about the South China Sea] and increased US Navy activity, we might anticipate the PLA ramping up its challenges”

“The reason why US politicians are getting nervous and frustrated over the Communist Party of China's (CPC) leadership of China is that they found the CPC's leadership is the key reason for China's fast development, which creates the most serious pushback for the US' hegemony. So if we want to win this competition that was forced by the US, we must focus on our own development and not get distracted. The US is not afraid of a cold war with us, it is afraid of our development.”
