  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 15 hours ago
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 20 hours ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 21 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 21 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 21 hours ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 21 hours ago

“As a former detective, I know you cannot negotiate with a criminal if you do not get your raid squad ready first. If leaders across the Taiwan Strait should meet, there must be consensus on this matter from Taiwanese society. At this stage, I think there remains a long way to go before leaders in Taiwan and China can meet. Cross-strait exchanges can begin in the private sector. We are no comparison with China when it comes to defense spending, but we are confident that China would not dare start a war in the Taiwan Strait, because it is a price it cannot pay.”

“Safeguarding the Republic of China, protecting democracy and freedom, and maintaining cross-strait and regional peace are the three most important missions of the KMT.”

“The KMT's decision to set up an office in [Washington] is aimed at better communication of our policy positions to Washington's policy communities, clarifying misinformation [on the party] … renewing friendships and making new ones. In the perceived long competition between the US and the People's Republic of China, the elites from Washington to Wall Street are in fact sided with US interests, not the DPP or the KMT. We truly believe that, especially in the next six to 10 years, both the US and Taiwan need to 'buy time' in dealing with a rapid expansion of the PRC's influence in the Indo-Pacific region. The KMT is the party that can better maintain peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait - a shared first priority between the US and Taiwan - by enhancing defence capability while mitigating threats at the same time.”

“This is first and foremost an issue that comes down to party lines. It gives the opposition the opportunity to tap into the fears caused by little-known agents - in this case, ractopamine - to defeat a policy of high importance to the Tsai administration. The KMT can use protectionism, fear, disinformation, and yes, latent anti-American sentiment in some circles in Taiwan, to create a perfect storm that will frustrate government policy. This, in turn, can harm US-Taiwan ties, and potentially undermine Taiwan's efforts to join CPTPP, another goal of the administration. This constitute is the weaponisation of an issue for short-term political gain, made possible by referenda.”

“Let's be frank, Johnny Chiang just didn't have the influence or the power to be able to do what he thought was necessary. As a result, he was switched out. If former chairpersons, who are supposed to wield the most authority in the party, are unable to implement reforms, it raises questions over whether Chu [Eric Chu] really can do so either. It's not a sure bet yet whether or not Eric Chu will in fact be the KMT's [Kuomintang] presidential candidate in 2024. He has a number of tests ahead of him to be able to generate enough support.”

“It was through our resolve and hard work that we took back Taiwan. It was the hard work of the KMT [Chinese Nationalist Party] that led to the protection, strengthening and democratization of Taiwan. the KMT would safeguard the Constitution; safeguard the democracy and freedom that comprised the spirit behind the nation's founding; safeguard the safety, peace and prosperity of the 23 million Taiwanese; and safeguard the dignity of the ROC and the facts regarding its history.”

“The premier [Sun Yat-sen] established the Chinese Nationalist Party and led us in establishing the Republic of China. Every member of the KMT must always remember that we are all followers of the premier. Our central idea is to defend the Republic of China. Our central idea is the premier's lifelong effort to strive and work hard for our democracy and freedom.”

“The KMT [Chinese Nationalist Party] will unite in an unprecedented manner, and we will fight for the pan-blue camp's decisive victory. We will fight for people's rights and resist the DPP's [Democratic Progressive Party] overbearing and aggressive behavior.”

“We can wait for a better time. There's no urgency for it. It's not just a meeting for a meeting's sake, but it needs to be meaningful, respectful. The timing needs to be right, but more importantly, there needs to be the precondition of equality and dignity, and it needs to be beneficial for Taiwan.”

“I hope Jaw's [Jaw Shaw-kong] return will encourage other members who have lost contact with the party to return to the fold as well. [KMT Legislator] Chiang Wan-an also expressed his willingness to shoulder his responsibility. Both are positive developments for the party.”
