  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 7 hours ago

    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 8 hours ago

“Japan is the only G7 country not taking part in the sanctions. It's shameful for Japan to be seen as a country that's pretending not to know what's going on.”

“Japan, driven by the selfish aim to check China's revitalization, willingly stoops to acting as a strategic vassal of the United States, going so far as to break faith, harm relations with China, invite the wolf into the house, and betray the collective interests of the region. Such despicable behavior is deeply unpopular.”

“The wording of this statement is surprising in its strength, particularly from Japan's perspective as Tokyo generally prefers to take a more delicate or diplomatic approach. I would have to say that this is quite unprecedented. But it is also clear that there has been a lot of frustration within the Japanese government that Beijing is effectively ignoring the international community's appeals for moderation and concern at the economic, diplomatic and military power that they are using in the region. That has less impact on Japan, of course, but it does enable Beijing to exert a lot more influence over smaller and less developed nations in the region.”

“We are concerned China will expand its aggressive stance into areas other than Hong Kong. I think one of the next targets, or what everyone is worried about, is Taiwan. So far, I haven’t yet seen a clear policy or an announcement on Taiwan from Joe Biden. I would like to hear it quickly, then we can also prepare our response on Taiwan in accordance. There’s a red line in Asia - China and Taiwan. How will Joe Biden in the White House react in any case if China crosses this red line? The United States is the leader of the democratic countries. I have a strong feeling to say: America, be strong!”

“The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] government has done a very good job in containing the COVID-19 pandemic. But as an island nation, we should restore international trade with other countries and regions, once vaccines become available around the world. After signing the RCEP [Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership] last month, Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi immediately visited Tokyo. It was China’s tactic to use this free trade body to isolate Taiwan in global trade. This is a severe test for Taiwan, and we must let the US and other trading partners know China's aims, that talks on economic links is just a facade, as China’s main political aim is to isolate Taiwan.”

“The larger mission for the Chinese foreign minister to visit Seoul and Tokyo is to stabilize and strengthen China's ties to these two neighbors amid the pandemic and in the wake of Biden winning the U.S. election. Beijing appears cautious in working with the Suga government in part because the prime minister is new, having just started his term. Beijing also remembers that Suga's predecessor Shinzo Abe developed a friendly relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump at both the personal and government level, which solidifies Japan's role as the cornerstone of America's strategic interest in East Asia. Beijing is not sure how much it can sway Tokyo's loyalty away from the forthcoming Biden administration. In contrast, Beijing has more to work with and to expect from Seoul. President Moon disagreed with President Trump on a host of issues from trade to Seoul's contribution to American defense cost-sharing on the Korean Peninsula. South Korean conservatives are not happy with the way Trump flattered (North Korean leader) Kim Jong-un. Both Beijing and Seoul share a common goal of denuclearization through diplomacy. Wang Yi is trying to seize on these issues to solidify and expand Beijing's ties to Seoul.”

“He [Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga] has demonstrated intent to improve relations with Beijing, but now he has little option as a new prime minister to show himself to be tough on Japan’s rivals. He is new and he is being watched carefully; he faces an election to remain leader of the party in one year’s time and he has to satisfy all the elements in the party that approved of Abe’s strong line on China. I feel that all of Japan’s territorial issues will come to the fore in the near future and that Suga has no choice but to adopt a nationalistic tone or he will fail in the next leadership election.”

“The Senkaku Islands are an inherent territory of Japan, both historically and under international law, and are actually effectively controlled. The Chinese side is not in a position to create a website for the Senkaku Islands, which is a territory of Japan, and claims based on the Chinese side’s position are not accepted. From this point of view, we have protested about the website through diplomatic channels and requested that it be deleted.”
