  • Simon Harris
    Simon Harris “Israel must stop firing on UN peacekeepers serving with UNIFIL in Lebanon. Israel must listen to the voice and the concerns of the international community.” 3 hours ago
  • Ramesh Poola
    Ramesh Poola “Obviously, we were looking for more details on what exactly his future plans are going to be and how he's [Elon Musk] going to monetise this new AI and robotics. He's shown the prototypes and definitely, there's some excitement around it. But widespread adoption of autonomous Cybercabs, where riders can hail rides through an Uber-style app, are still maybe three to four years away.” 3 hours ago
  • Matthew Wansley
    Matthew Wansley “Tesla software is at least years behind where Waymo is. That's the hard part. No flashy vehicle design is going to change that.” 3 hours ago
  • Ross Gerber
    Ross Gerber “His [Elon Musk] vision is lovely, but somebody has to actualise it. For now, for the next 24 months, Tesla has to sell EVs. Why aren't we focused on that?” 4 hours ago
  • Noemi Di Segni
    Noemi Di Segni “We are experiencing hours of grave tension for what happened with the attacks of the Israeli army against UNIFIL outposts, in a situation on the ground that is extremely complex and dangerous for everybody. We are fully aware of the critical nature of the ongoing situation, including on a political level, of these episodes which, we have learned, are being subjected to a careful investigation by all the appropriate.” 4 hours ago
  • Dorsa Jabbari
    Dorsa Jabbari “Hezbollah is standing firm; just this afternoon, we heard from the media relations department, which delivered a message to the internal parties in Lebanon not to bet on Hezbollah's defeat. The organisation has suffered hits, but they are not out. They haven't even used most of the military potential that they have despite the continuous Israeli bombardment. Of course, we are now seeing a huge civilian toll that is now caught in the middle of this fighting.” 9 hours ago
  • Touraj Atabaki
    Touraj Atabaki “Pezeshkian [Masud Pezeshkian] is trying to gauge to what extent Iran can rely on Russia for help. Russia wants to stand with Iran due to Iran's support in its war on Ukraine but Moscow doesn't want to darken its relationship with Israel further and cut all ties.” 10 hours ago
  • Barack Obama
    Barack Obama “We don't need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America is ready to turn the page. We are ready for a better story, one that helped us work together instead of turning against each other. Pennsylvania, we're ready for President Kamala Harris. I am the hopey changey guy so I understand people feeling frustrated, feeling we can do better. What I cannot understand is why anybody would think that Donald Trump will shake things up in a way that is good for you, Pennsylvania. I don't understand that.” 10 hours ago
  • Masoud Pezeshkian
    Masoud Pezeshkian “European countries and the United States don't want relations between countries [in the Middle East] to develop peacefully. The situation in the region has escalated dramatically because Israel doesn't recognize any international legal and humanitarian standards.” 10 hours ago
  • Nicholas Eberstadt
    Nicholas Eberstadt “For the first time since the Black Death in the 1300s, the planetary population will decline. But whereas the last implosion was caused by a deadly disease borne by fleas, the coming one will be entirely due to choices made by people. With birthrates plummeting, more and more societies are heading into an era of pervasive and indefinite depopulation, one that will eventually encompass the whole planet. What lies ahead is a world made up of shrinking and aging societies.” 10 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “This is exactly what we need - the restoration of a just peace for Ukraine, and this is a victory for us, and this is what we are working for. Today I will present Olaf [German Chancellor Olaf Scholz] with a plan on how, in our opinion, to force Russia to peace, that is, how to end this war, I would like to say, no later than 2025. That is, this plan is not to replace our peace initiative, but to strengthen Ukraine's position for the sake of getting closer to peace.” 11 hours ago
  • Benjamin Soskis
    Benjamin Soskis “I'm not sure there is a precedent in modern history to how Musk has inserted himself into the presidential race.” 12 hours ago
  • Daniel Seidemann
    Daniel Seidemann “Since last year, the Israeli military and particularly the political echelons have become more promiscuous with how many human casualties they can tolerate. Any military operation requires proportionality. What we witnessed in Gaza and Lebanon and engagement with UNIFIL, it goes well beyond any reasonable interpretation of what proportionality is. These are unnecessary casualties. But my government is not interested in a diplomatic solution, my prime minister has a vested interest in prolonging the war.” 12 hours ago
  • Guy Shalev
    Guy Shalev “There are more than 20,000 Palestinians who await medical evacuation in Gaza who can't be treated there and can't get out. Only several hundred have been allowed to leave since May. In the occupied West Bank, the organisation is working closely with Palestinians to document settler violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian communities while trying to assist prisoners. Access is very restricted. For instance, the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross] has not had any access to any Israeli prison in the past year, which is a dire violation of prisoners' human rights and of international law. We're getting a lot of medical requests that we can't fully address because of the sheer amount and scale of violations. We're now trying to address the needs of people who weigh just 40kg and are in very bad health conditions after long months of not getting proper medical care and nutrition.” 12 hours ago
  • Mohammed Afif
    Mohammed Afif “Some media outlets, including global international outlets, cannot dare address the Israelis and tell them openly you are killing unarmed, defenceless innocent civilians. The Israeli army continues to bombard residential areas and kill civilians, under the false pretext that these are weapons depots. The Israelis are even targeting Dahiyeh with bombs saying there are weapons there. Above all, they impede and deny the civil defence and paramedics access to the areas.” 13 hours ago
  • Elon Musk
    Elon Musk “With autonomy, you get your time back. It'll save lives, a lot of lives, and prevent injuries. With that amount of training data it's obviously going to be much better than a human can be because you can't live a million lives. It doesn't get tired, and it doesn't text. It'll be 10, 20, 30 times safer than a human.” 13 hours ago
  • Trissia Wijaya
    Trissia Wijaya “I don't think the planned tariffs would have a major effect on Indonesia-China economic cooperation overall. This can be traced back to the real mainstay of our [Indonesian] relationship over the past few years, which is critical mineral trade volume, in which China absorbed more than 80 percent of our nickel output. The nickel supply is pivotal for China's strategic interests. As long as the mainstay is not destroyed, I don't think it would infuriate Beijing either as it is applicable to textiles, ceramics, and electronics.” 23 hours ago
  • Lin Jian
    Lin Jian “China will closely follow possible safeguard tariffs Indonesia may impose on specific products, and take necessary measures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.” 23 hours ago
  • Siwage Dharma Negara
    Siwage Dharma Negara “Just reducing imports may not be an ideal goal. We need imports for raw materials and local industrial materials and, if tariffs are imposed, these industries will be affected. The government should place emphasis on supporting the growth of local businesses in addition to curbing imported goods. Businesses need to be helped to be more efficient and grow stronger, and for this the government needs to provide clear targets.” 23 hours ago
  • Ian Wilson
    Ian Wilson “Jakarta has pursued a model of new developmentalism that aims to foster rapid economic growth while shielding local businesses from competition. Southeast Asian style developmentalism is a well-known model beginning in the 1970s with a high degree of government intervention in the economy overseeing a transition of labour, output, and exports away from low productivity agriculture towards higher productivity manufacturing sector and industrialisation. The immediate question, however, is what is the calculation in imposing tariffs of this kind?” 23 hours ago
  • Husam Abu Safiyeh
    Husam Abu Safiyeh “We have seven cases in intensive care … all these cases are very severe and they all need intensive surgical or medical care. Moving or transporting these patients puts their life in serious danger, it is not possible to transfer them. In addition, there is no facility in Gaza that has capacity to take them as they are all overrun with their own similar cases.” 23 hours ago
  • Dan Ives
    Dan Ives “I think it's one of the most important events that Tesla has ever held. I think it will be viewed five to 10 years from now as what the iPhone launch moment was for Apple.” 23 hours ago

“Lai's [William Lai] speech exposed his hell-bent position on Taiwan independence and his sinister intention to escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait for political self-interest. Taiwan has never been a country and can never become one, so it does not have any so-called 'sovereignty'. Lai's comments arbitrarily severed the historical connection between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and used all manner of tactics to peddle the fantasy of Taiwan independence.”

“The Republic of China has already put down roots in Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu. And the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China [PRC] are not subordinate to each other. The People's Republic of China has no right to represent Taiwan. My mission as president is to ensure that our nation endures and progresses and resist annexation or encroachment upon our sovereignty.”

“The biggest challenge is to face the powerful rise of China, [which is] destroying the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and regards Taiwan's annexation and the elimination of the Republic of China as the great rejuvenating cause of its people. The highest mission is to bravely take up the heavy responsibility and grand task of protecting Taiwan, and safeguarding the peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. We really must be able to distinguish between ourselves and our enemies and between friend and foe, and absolutely cannot accept the defeatism of 'the first battle is the last battle' [a theory suggesting that Taiwan could collapse immediately if China launched an attack].”

“The PRC [People's Republic of China] evidently decided to wait until he delivered his [Lai Ching-te] inaugural address and then determine their response. It's clear that Beijing strongly objects to what they view as an attempt to develop a comprehensive 'Taiwan independence' narrative with the goal of altering the nature of cross-strait relations. I expect that they will roll out a series of military, political, and economic measures over the coming weeks and months.”

“The US' policies on the Taiwan question are double-faced. On one hand, Washington does not want the Taiwan secessionists to be "troublemakers" to trigger cross-Straits conflicts, and on the other hand, Washington does not wish to see closer and warmer cross-Straits ties, as it wants to use Taiwan as tool to counter Beijing.”

“The KMT, of course, is going to jump at the chance to demonstrate that they can cooperate with Beijing they can play nice together. And if in a year [Taiwanese] elect a KMT candidate as president, cross-strait relations will improve a lot. That's clearly what they think will be the most effective pitch to voters and if Beijing helps them make that pitch that's smart from Beijing's perspective.”

“Looking forward, Beijing may intensify efforts to interfere in Taiwan's politics over the next two years. Even though China's leaders are facing headwinds, they still have bandwidth and incentive to try to create a political environment in Taiwan conducive to their preferences for the 2024 election. Beijing almost surely will seek to create disfavor for candidates it opposes and tailwinds for candidates that support its vision for the development of cross-Strait relations.”

“The mainland encourages and supports normal business exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and protects the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and companies in accordance with the law. However, no one or company is allowed to sabotage cross-Straits relations by providing financial aid to secessionists while making money on the mainland. This attitude is clear and consistent, and Taiwan companies investing in the mainland are well aware of it. There is no room for ambiguity about whether to adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, and whether to oppose or support secessionists.”

“I (would) encourage him [Xi Jinping] to have more dialogue with the government and people here in Taiwan, and to get a better feel of what it's like in Taiwan ... And, of course, we would do more in terms of understanding the situation in China. We have said again and again that we want to have dialogue with China and this is the best way to avoid misunderstanding, miscalculation and misjudgment in the management of the cross-strait relations.”

“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.”

“What we would like to see is stability in cross-strait relations and no effort to unilaterally change the status quo. That is how we are going to continue to approach the Taiwan issue going forward, with steadiness, clarity and resolve with respect to our view that there should be no unilateral changes to the status quo.”

“If cross-strait exchanges must be founded on the premise that one side accepts the other's framework, then I think it is an unfair, unjust and unrealistic request. I think the two sides can be more friendly and cooperative. There is no need to force yourself or others to enter into a set framework. Finding the greatest common denominator” would benefit both sides and elicit the least controversy. However, whether the two could achieve constructive ambiguity “depends on the wisdom of both sides, and honestly, it also depends on their attitudes.”

“We have also noticed that President Tsai [Tsai Ing-wen] has in recent speeches tried her best to show goodwill to the other side. The KMT continues to welcome remarks that would help melt the ice for cross-strait reconciliation. The ruling parties on both sides should make good use of flexible actions that are legal and reasonable to find opportunities to resume official cross-strait dialogue and normal people-to-people exchanges.”

“The United States notes with concern the pattern of ongoing PRC attempts to intimidate its neighbors, including Taiwan. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan’s democratically elected representatives. We will stand with friends and allies to advance our shared prosperity, security, and values in the Indo-Pacific region - and that includes deepening our ties with democratic Taiwan. The United States will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues, consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people on Taiwan. The United States maintains its longstanding commitments as outlined in the Three Communiqués, the Taiwan Relations Act, and the Six Assurances. We will continue to assist Taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self-defense capability. Our commitment to Taiwan is rock-solid and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and within the region.”

“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.”

“What we seek is constructive cross-strait dialogue, in order to peacefully address differences of opinion and perspective without the need for preconditions. There is a necessity for both sides to find a way to co-exist peacefully, based on mutual respect, goodwill and understanding. This has been the basis of my cross-strait policy, as it is a position that best serves the interests of peace and stability in the region. While the 23 million people of Taiwan do not want to live in a state of permanent antagonism, we are also determined to safeguard our freedoms and way of life. Together with the U.S. and other international partners, we are also engaged on issues ranging from media literacy to accountable governance. These actions signal to all across the region about the resiliency of our democratic processes.”

“The main reason behind the instability in Taiwan's national security can be traced back to former president Ma Ying-jeou's eight years in office. Ma’s policies permitted China to infiltrate every sector of Taiwanese society. That led to a weakening of Taiwan’s political institutions and its vitality, along with over-reliance on China for economic growth. As the society was permeated by Chinese infiltration and influence, it impaired national defense and undermined the military’s resolve to defend the country.”
