  • 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.” 14 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    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.” 14 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Storytelling is important for the U.S.-China competition, which is staged in the international arena with the whole world watching. The Chinese interlocutors are often seen as consummate wordsmiths, doing a far better job than their American counterparts. In March in Alaska, for instance, China's most senior foreign policy official Yang Jiechi publicly announced that the U.S. is 'not qualified' (meiyou zige) to speak to China from a position of strength. It was the most famous line from the meeting. It was also the most embarrassing moment for Washington.”

“We may be mistaken, but we think in Europe today, everybody - government, public opinion, academics - are today convinced that China is changing, and you are telling us today that it is not the case. That is a perception issue that we need to tackle .... you are all entitled to your views but please do understand that in Europe people are convinced that China is changing its diplomacy. I am very sorry to see that China does not give any credit to the EU in bringing the U.S. back to the path of engagement. Why? Because China has decided to not reset the relationship with the U.S. The Anchorage meeting in March 2021 is for me, a very significant signal and very disappointing ... The government rejected the return to engagement. So what does China want? What is the objective, the purpose of China today in foreign relations? It's clearly not the same purpose as 10 years ago, it is different. We are sometimes at a loss to understand exactly what China wants.”

“This [Yang Jiechi response with passion to the US criticism toward China] is not normally the Chinese manner on such occasions. It is a sign that something has changed. There is a new sense of confidence on the part of the Chinese. That they are - or can - win the argument. That they are at least the equals of America. That they speak from a position of strength and America from a position of weakness. That history is on their side. It feels like the diplomatic equivalent of moving from 'keeping a low profile' to 'striving for achievement,' or from being a relative spectator in the global system to becoming a major architect. The Americans have hitherto always thought of themselves as running the show; the shock visible in the body language of Blinken and Sullivan was the realization, conscious or unconscious, that this was no longer the case. The same was apparent in the Western media. The BBC, for example, invariably critical of China, reported it with an unfamiliar neutrality, as if stunned by the role reversal.”
