IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Volker Türk
    Volker Türk “I can see no way that the latest evacuation orders, much less a full assault, in an area with an extremely dense presence of civilians, can be reconciled with the binding requirements of international humanitarian law and with the two sets of binding provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.” 3 minutes ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 12 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 12 hours ago
  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 20 hours ago
  • Louise Wateridge
    Louise Wateridge “Everywhere you look now in west Rafah this morning, families are packing up. Streets are significantly emptier. UNRWA estimates 150,000 people have now fled Rafah. New areas have been issued evacuation orders towards central Rafah in south Gaza and Jabalia in North Gaza.” 23 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “The Polish-Belarusian border is a unique place due to the pressure of illegal immigration. In fact, we are dealing with a progressing hybrid war. I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border. It is not only Poland's internal border, but also the EU border. Therefore, I have no doubt that all of Europe will have to ... invest in its security by investing in Poland's eastern border and in the security of our border.” 23 hours ago

“China, in that white paper, has also reiterated calls for Taiwan to come back into the fold, if you like, under the 'one country, two systems' model. But you would have to imagine that there is very little appetite for that after what has happened in recent days, and because of the way that China has implemented the one China, two systems model in Hong Kong.”

“The two sides of the Strait need to restore or rebuild a common political foundation. Recognition of the 'consensus' [1992 consensus] would be necessary for Tsai to realize her campaign promise of maintaining the 'status quo' in cross-strait relations. Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] and the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] have tarnished the 1992 consensus by equating it with the 'one country, two systems' framework. The Republic of China Constitution does not allow for two Chinas, or one China and one Taiwan. If Tsai would clearly affirm this there could be room for cross-strait dialogue.”

“The new security arrangement has changed the rules of the game. Most importantly, it suspends the 'one country, two systems' experiment that was widely thought to expire in 2047. When Hong Kong no longer offers the same legal protections and civil liberties that were once integral parts of autonomy, the world has to review and revise bilateral linkages and relations. Coming to grips with this hostile international environment is crucial to recognizing the costs of violating the autonomous constitutional status. For Hong Kong to survive and thrive, its political elites must return to a rules-based governance structure, end widespread police and judiciary abuses, and communicate with pro-democracy opposition groups and the civic sector.”

“In the Sino-British Joint Declaration, the CCP guaranteed Hong Kong judicial independence and freedom under 'one country, two systems' for at least 50 years, but after only two decades, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has already confirmed that the declaration is just a historical document that does not mean anything. How can a county that does not respect international rules keep telling others to follow its 'one China' principle?”

“Hong Kong's Legislative Council is dead and has been replaced by the National People's Congress. Before this recent effort to change Hong Kong's electoral system, no Taiwanese would accept the 'one country, two systems' framework. Now, literally no one will accept it.”

“No matter how the political situation changes, we [the mainland] still hold the initiative in cross-Strait relations. Mainland China’s general policy towards Taiwan is clear and consistent. We hold firmly to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, to peaceful reunification and One Country, Two Systems, to opposing and containing separatist schemes and actions towards Taiwan independence, and to safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will not tolerate comments that disparage the central government’s policy towards Taiwan and which deny the results of our efforts in Taiwan.”

“Beijing is working to reiterate its insistence on the 'one China' policy and the '1992 consensus' to force our side to accept these political frameworks. However, most Taiwanese have rejected the 'one country, two systems proposal'. The Chinese government must understand this fact. The Chinese leadership must face these political realities and must have the courage to change the way it treats cross-strait relations. It must respect our positions and the will of Taiwanese to allow a discussion over peaceful coexistence.”

“New Zealand can no longer trust that Hong Kong’s criminal justice system is sufficiently independent from China. If China in future shows adherence to the ‘one country, two systems’ framework then we could reconsider this decision.”

“This process demonstrated disregard for Hong Kong’s Basic Law and the high degree of autonomy promised for Hong Kong under the ‘one country, two systems’ framework. Hong Kong’s role as a global hub was built on that foundation. Canada will treat exports of sensitive goods to Hong Kong in the same way as those destined for China. Canada will not permit the export of sensitive military items to Hong Kong. Canada is also suspending the Canada-Hong Kong extradition treaty.”

“We will not accept the Beijing authorities' use of 'one country, two systems' to downgrade Taiwan and undermine the cross-strait status quo. Both sides have a duty to find a way to coexist over the long term and prevent the intensification of antagonism and differences.”

“In the past, the central government took into account the views of Western countries when it handled Hong Kong affairs, but now Beijing believes Western countries are using Hong Kong to undermine China’s national security. When it comes to Hong Kong affairs, safeguarding national security and asserting its authority over Hong Kong have now taken precedence over Hong Kong’s contribution to China’s economy.”

“We stand with all freedom-loving people of #HongKong. In their faces, we see the longing for freedom, & are reminded that #Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy must be guarded & renewed by every generation. As long as I’m President, 'one country, two systems' will never be an option.”
