    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.” 15 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.” 15 hours ago

“It's clear Beijing won't give up its aspiration for unification with Taiwan, but if Xi [Xi Jinping] realises the costs of such military folly will be too high, the hope is he will leave that to future generations. Deterrence secures the peace, whereas appeasement will surely lead to war.”

“Taiwan's political future can never be determined by its society. This is because Taiwan is part of China's national sovereignty, and in a country with traditions of great unity going back thousands of years, the answer to the Taiwan question is established and it is even clearer, especially when China's national strength is flourishing. On the global scale, even if the US and its allies want to use the Taiwan question to impede the Chinese mainland, they will have to verbally pledge their support for the 'one-China' policy. And no major power will dare openly recognize Taiwan as an independent sovereign state.”

“It's a fine diplomatic issue, but what is striking to me is that the name of this island and this country is Taiwan. So there is no big point in trying to, you know, prevent this country to use its name.”

“Its [China] relative power might have peaked with its population aging, its economy slowing and its finances creaking. It is quite possible that Beijing could lash out disastrously quite soon. I don't believe the United States could sit by and watch China swallow up Taiwan. I don't believe Australia should be indifferent to the fate of a fellow democracy of almost 25 million people.”

“Taiwan does not seek military confrontation. It hopes for a peaceful, stable, predictable and mutually-beneficial coexistence with its neighbours. But Taiwan will also do whatever it takes to defend its freedom and democratic way of life. The Indo-Pacific needs a peaceful, stable and transparent environment and there are many opportunities in the region. But this also brings new tensions and systemic contradictions that could have a devastating effect on international security and the global economy if they are not handled carefully. Taiwan is fully committed to collaborating with regional players to prevent armed conflict in the East China, South China Seas and in the Taiwan Strait.”

“Taiwan lies along the first island chain, which runs from northern Japan to Borneo; should this line be broken by force, the consequences would disrupt international trade and destabilize the entire western Pacific. In other words, a failure to defend Taiwan would not only be catastrophic for the Taiwanese; it would overturn a security architecture that has allowed for peace and extraordinary economic development in the region for seven decades. Taiwan does not seek military confrontation. It hopes for peaceful, stable, predictable, and mutually beneficial coexistence with its neighbors. But if its democracy and way of life are threatened, Taiwan will do whatever it takes to defend itself.”

“As countries increasingly recognize the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses, they should understand the value of working with Taiwan. And they should remember that if Taiwan were to fall, the consequences would be catastrophic for regional peace and the democratic alliance system. It would signal that in today's global contest of values, authoritarianism has the upper hand over democracy.”

“It's the least controversial name [Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu] and the same one under which we joined the WTO. We have chosen to apply in our own time, but of course there was the worry that it would be more difficult if China gained entry first.”

“Building on the solid existing foundations, our government will continue to work closely with the United States, Australia and other countries with similar ideas to expand Taiwan's international space, safeguard democracy and shared values, and a rules-based international order, and jointly safeguard peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“China has been imposing its One China Principle throughout the international community, forcing governments, international organizations, academics, business, even NGOs or Hollywood throughout the world to assert its fictitious claim that Taiwan is part of PRC [People's Republic of China]. However, the reality is, Taiwan is not, nor has it ever been, a part of PRC. So, only Taiwan's democratically elected government can represent its 23 million people on the international stage, including the U.N. system.”

“Taiwan is well positioned to serve as an indispensable partner on democratic renewal, and in sectors such as biotechnology, renewable energy and the semiconductor industry. We are willing to shoulder our share of the burden and we will not take our security partner's cavalry for granted. We will always defend our democracy and way of life.”

“Recent changes in the situation in Afghanistan have led to much discussion in Taiwan. I want to tell everyone that Taiwan's only option is to make ourselves stronger, more united and more resolute in our determination to protect ourselves. It's not an option for us to do nothing ... and just to rely on other people's protection.”

“Well, we do stand in solidarity with our NATO ally Lithuania and we condemn the PRC's [People's Republic of China] recent retaliatory actions, including the recall of Beijing's ambassador from Vilnius and demanding Lithuania recall its ambassador from Beijing. Taiwan is a global leader in public health and advanced manufacturing and democratic governance, to name just a few areas in which the international community - including the United States - benefits from engagement with Taiwan. Each country should be able to determine the contours of its own 'one China' policy without outside coercion. We have done just that.”

“The basic problem is that China's daunting power is a consequence of the free world's decision to invite a communist dictatorship into global trading networks. China has exploited the West's goodwill and wishful thinking to steal our technology and undercut our industries; and, in the process, become a much more powerful competitor than the old Soviet Union ever was, because it's now a first-rate economy that's rapidly developing a military to match; and spoiling for a fight over Taiwan, a pluralist democracy of 25 million that's living proof there's no totalitarian gene in the Chinese DNA.”

“If war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, the US might recognize Taiwan, but if there is no conflict, it [recognition] could drag out for a long time. Taiwan has no hope of joining the UN without US support. Acceptance to the UN would be the end of Taiwan's troubles.”

“A couple of years ago, Taiwan was not seen as one of the major players in either the European Asia strategy nor countries' [individual] strategies. This has obviously changed due to the developments in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, the coronavirus pandemic, and the US administration focus on the island. As for the practical implications, it may not change the island's isolation in international organisations and forums but it clearly signals that countries are willing to engage with Taiwan.”

“In the past, efforts out of Congress centred on sending letters to the WHO or the Executive Branch or to capitals abroad to ask for support for Taiwan's inclusion. This year, however, there was a much more public and thus, more far-reaching, approach. This brought in parliamentarians from across the world - and across party lines. It was likewise able to grow organically on the social media platform, generating statements from other leaders as well as public figures and activists.”
