  • Connor Fiddler
    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 14 hours ago

  • Xie Tao
    Xie Tao “China knows that it likely has little room to sway the United States on trade. The Chinese government seems to be putting its focus on people-to-people exchanges. The Chinese government is really investing a lot of energy in shaping the future generation of Americans' view of China.” 18 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “The United States has adopted an endless stream of measures to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology. This is not fair competition but containment, and is not removing risks but creating risks.” 18 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China alone is producing more than 100 percent of global demand for products like solar panels and electric vehicles, and was responsible for one-third of global production but only one-tenth of global demand. This is a movie that we've seen before, and we know how it ends. With American businesses shuttered and American jobs lost.” 18 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Russia would struggle to sustain its assault on Ukraine without China's support. I made clear that if China does not address this problem, we will.” 18 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “No, Mr Netanyahu. It is not anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 - 70 percent of whom are women and children.” 18 hours ago

China - US rivalry

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“While the U.S.-China rivalry has been showing signs of turning into a zero-sum game, deciding whether to join the chip alliance is a really complicated issue even for the Yoon administration, which supports the U.S.' Indo-Pacific strategy against China while seeking to build a bilateral relationship of mutual respect with Beijing. The previous strategic ambiguity between the U.S. and China meant we would not suffer a loss or pay a cost while benefiting from them, but that era has ended and now we are facing a situation in which that we have to put up with a loss or shoulder expenses. Should Korea not join the alliance, Japan would try to fill our absence, and in consideration of that, we will be in a position to accept the U.S. invitation.”

“It's fairly clear that Xi Jinping views his most important legacy as making China a superpower, as returning China to what he sees as its historically rightful place as a world power. And that means economic growth, but it also means becoming a military power that's able to exert a large influence on politics in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond. For the US, focusing on competition with China is one of the few things that unites Republicans and Democrats. There's definitely a desire to preserve America's superpower status and its influence in the world order, which does mean that these two countries do have conflicting objectives to a certain extent. So, there is certainly potential for tensions at the very least.”

“If there is a military conflict between China and the US, it will most likely take place in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea. The strengthening of US strongpoints in the second island chain shows how big the potential range of such a military conflict would be. If a war breaks out between China and the US, it is unlikely to end with a few warships of both countries fighting each other at sea. US preparations now have already included the capacity of military mobilization outside the region, so China's military preparedness now needs to include a response to them.”

“Neither side [China or Russia] wants to be locked into an alliance where they would be brought into a fight where the other doesn't have skin in the game. They try to stay out of each other's fights and instead find those areas of overlap in mutual interest. China and Russia are very pragmatic and both oppose the United States, but both see themselves as great powers and are religious about their strategic autonomy.”

“The key for Biden is not to seek China's compromise and concessions on key issues, because it is difficult to achieve that goal, but to push more countries into the track of following the US in its comprehensive strategic competition with China by intensifying disputes these countries have with China. Against this backdrop, the Biden administration is anticipated to consider naming an ambassador to China only after it has sorted out its alliances and partnerships and appointed ambassadors to those countries.”

“China has long sought asymmetrical areas where they could exert influence in a way that didn't challenge US predominance and preeminence… It takes a lot of money, time and know-how to build a modern navy, but in cyberspace there's a lower threshold for having an impact.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“From the Vietnamese perspective, it’s probably good for its position and interest if Washington appears to be more assertive and confrontational to China. Strong US positions could help modify China’s claims and position in the South China Sea. Vietnam will be happy to see US military presence and security role in the South China Sea, which may help prevent the Chinese military from establishing a domination position.”

“There is no doubt we have substantial interests and relations with both powers but we have never been in this place before. We have not felt the pressure and tug of war of both powers. What is significant is that we are seeing the emergence of a coalescence of like-minded countries who simply want to carry on doing that business, supporting that growth and development, at a time when the two giants are locked in intensifying competition with each other. Singapore will not be put in a position to make a final choice like marriage. Nor [is it] needed. We should not make a choice for as long as we can. Choice will be exercised by each country to line up with the US or China, depending on what initiatives the two powers put on the table.”
