  • Connor Fiddler
    Connor Fiddler “Nearly half of the Indo-Pacific appropriations directly reinforce the submarine industrial base. While this investment will enhance deterrence in the Indo-Pacific, the immediate impact will be supporting the American economy.” 17 hours ago
  • Chen Jining
    Chen Jining “Whether China and the U.S. choose cooperation or confrontation, it affects the well-being of both peoples, of both nations, and also the future of humanity.” 20 hours ago
  • Xi Jinping
    Xi Jinping “I proposed mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation to be the three overarching principles. They are both lessons learned from the past and a guide for the future.” 21 hours ago
  • Xie Tao
    Xie Tao “China knows that it likely has little room to sway the United States on trade. The Chinese government seems to be putting its focus on people-to-people exchanges. The Chinese government is really investing a lot of energy in shaping the future generation of Americans' view of China.” 21 hours ago
  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “The United States has adopted an endless stream of measures to suppress China's economy, trade, science and technology. This is not fair competition but containment, and is not removing risks but creating risks.” 21 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China alone is producing more than 100 percent of global demand for products like solar panels and electric vehicles, and was responsible for one-third of global production but only one-tenth of global demand. This is a movie that we've seen before, and we know how it ends. With American businesses shuttered and American jobs lost.” 21 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Russia would struggle to sustain its assault on Ukraine without China's support. I made clear that if China does not address this problem, we will.” 21 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “No, Mr Netanyahu. It is not anti-Semitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 - 70 percent of whom are women and children.” 21 hours ago

“The one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiqués constitute the political foundation of China-US relations. The so-called 'Taiwan Relations Act' and 'Six Assurances' unilaterally concocted by the US gravely violate international law, basic norms governing international relations and the one-China principle. China has made clear its firm rejection to them from the very beginning. For a while, the US has been keeping up erroneous words and acts on the Taiwan question. The Chinese side has made resolute and necessary reactions every step of the way. Should the US side choose to continue playing the ill-advised 'Taiwan card', it would inevitably pose seismic risks to China-US relations, seriously undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and gravely harm the interests of the US itself. We urge the US to abide by its commitment, the one-China principle, the stipulations of the three China-US joint communiqués and UNGA Resolution 2758, stop making irresponsible erroneous remarks, stop assisting Taiwan in expanding the so-called 'international space', avoid sending wrong signals to 'Taiwan independence' forces, and safeguard the political foundation for China-US relations with concrete actions.”

“The Taiwan Straits situation is getting worse because the US and the Taiwan secessionist DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority controlled by the US are provoking, and this will definitely receive retaliation from the Chinese mainland…the US will keep playing 'the Taiwan card' and support the authority on the island to expand its 'international influence'. Although the US treats China as its major strategic competitor, the two sides should at least try to avoid the worst-case scenario, to improve crisis management.”

“The problem now is: The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authorities who dare not fight have now taken a long-term arrogant posture. They are gradually turning themselves into a political nail that the rising mainland must pull out. They claim they are at the forefront of the democracies to confront the mainland and are trying to serve as an outpost in the US' Indo-Pacific Strategy to contain China. They have also openly rejected the one China principle. Even their master, the US, has kept reiterating its commitment to the one-China principle, despite leaving some leeway to interpret the one China concept.”

“Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan question is purely China's internal affairs that allow no foreign interference. On issues that bear on China's sovereignty, territorial integrity and other core interests, no one shall expect China to make any compromise or trade-offs. No one should underestimate the resolve, the will and the ability of the Chinese people to defend their national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Do not stand on the opposite side of the 1.4 billion people. We urge the US to earnestly abide by the one-China principle and stipulations in the three China-US joint communiques, be prudent with its words and actions on the Taiwan question, and avoid sending wrong signals to the 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces, lest it should seriously damage China-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

“Biden does not have the political authority to announce that the US military will 'defend Taiwan' when a war breaks out, nor does he have the confidence to have a strategic collision with the Chinese mainland in the Taiwan Straits to support Taiwan secessionists until a desperate fight erupts, and make the Americans bear the risk of a bottomless war for Taiwan island. So, even if he dared to make a slip of the tongue, he would dare not really think so from the bottom of his heart.”

“So far, not a single US government official has spelt what 'defending Taiwan' means if done by the US. Does it mean sending US troops to confront the PLA [People's Liberation Army]? No one has ever explained in detail. Ambiguity still exists, and no one dares to explain it clearly. Even if China is not yet a lion, it is at least a strong bull today. The US said it would engage China from a position of strength. China can totally say exactly the same.”

“Beijing proclaims that the East is rising and the West is in decline. I'm confident in our own country. The People's Republic of China is not an Olympian power. It is clear that they [Chinese] intend to take back Taiwan and that the US needs to redouble efforts to prevent that from happening. Our responsibility is to make Taiwan a tough nut to crack.”

“The Taiwan issue has ceased to be a sort of narrow, boutique issue, and it's become a central theater - if not the central drama - in U.S.-China strategic competition.”

“Pro-DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] supporters appeared unperturbed by Biden, while those leaning centre or right towards the KMT were more sceptical of the US president's intentions towards Taiwan. They think that Biden's 'Taiwan agreement' is another evidence that Taiwan is just a chess piece on the chessboard, indicating that Taiwan has no say in its own future since the agreement is merely made between Xi and Biden. Moreover, Biden mentioned that his talk with Xi happened last month, but Taiwanese people all witnessed the sharp increase of incursions this week. So, it seems that the talk has no, if not negative, impact on the stability of the Taiwan Strait.”

“Why just two dozen members? Why secretly? The US should send [to Taiwan] 240 servicemen publicly, in US military uniform, and make public where they are stationed. See whether the PLA [People's Liberation Army] will launch a targeted air strike to eliminate those US invaders!”

“It's not a thaw. It's not a re-embrace of engagement. It's about getting serious and systematic about competition. That means being very clear about boundaries, our perceptions of their behaviour, particularly the recent number of air force strike packages around Taiwan.”
