“It seems to me that Beijing has instructed its forces to respond more assertively against what it believes are encroaching U.S. and allied forces. By doing so, China is only increasing the chances for miscalculation - namely ships or aircraft accidentally colliding - that could then spiral into armed conflict.”

“I am deeply concerned that the PRC [People's Republic of China] has been unwilling to engage more seriously on better mechanisms for crisis management between our two militaries. The more that we talk, the more that we can avoid the misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to crisis or conflict.”

“The United States' long-term and frequent sending of ships and planes to conduct close surveillance on China seriously harms China's national sovereignty and security. This kind of provocative, dangerous activity is the cause of the security issues on the seas. China will continue to take all necessary steps to resolutely protect its own sovereignty and security.”

“This transit [of Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen] is consistent with our longstanding unofficial relationship with Taiwan and it is consistent with the United States's 'One China' policy, which remains unchanged. There is no reason - none - for the Chinese to overreact here. The People's Republic of China should not use this transit as a pretext to step up any activity around the Taiwan strait.”

“To have dispatched an advanced fighter jet to shoot down a balloon with a missile, such behaviour is unbelievable, almost hysterical... What we hope for from the US is a pragmatic and positive approach to China that allows us to work together.”

“The balloon was 60m (200 ft) tall with a jetliner size payload. The PRC's irresponsible actions were visible for the American people and all of the world to see. Ultimately, we were able to collect intelligence from the balloon; we are recovering its contents; and we sent a clear message to the PRC that activities such as this [are] unacceptable.”

“You can get a lot of visual information from a satellite, but somewhere as far north as [the state of] Montana, a satellite only has a few seconds of time over the target whereas a balloon has more time. The second thing a balloon would be capable of doing would be gathering electronic signals, so it could intercept communications. If we do recover [the balloon] and it does prove to be surveillance stuff, I think there will be some public display of that. This will be further embarrassment for the Chinese.”

“They have satellites that are sophisticated and it's not clear to me what intelligence advantage they could gain by doing this. Perhaps it fits in with the 'Wolf Warrior' diplomacy that China has pursued: being aggressive in pursuit of its interests until there is a strong pushback.”

“China is the world's second-largest economy, its largest manufacturer, and its largest trader. It will be a big part of the global financial picture for decades to come. Instead of fatalistically accepting the descent of an economic iron curtain, Washington should negotiate aggressively with China to win opportunities for Americans in its market. Administration officials should have serious discussions with Chinese leadership about how to manage the decoupling in a way that allows for mutually beneficial trade. Right now, the two countries are mostly trading charges and countercharges while doing nothing to expand mutually beneficial economic opportunities.”

“Despite China's opposition, the US passed and signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, which contains negative content concerning China. China deplores and firmly opposes this US move, and has made serious démarches to the US. This Act, in total disregard of facts, hypes up the 'China threat' narrative, blatantly interferes in China's internal affairs, and attacks and discredits the Communist Party of China (CPC). This is a serious political provocation against China. The leadership of the CPC is the choice of history and the people. The Chinese people are clear-eyed about the US's ill intention of suppressing and containing China's development and thwarting the Chinese nation's rejuvenation. Attempts to drive a wedge between the Chinese people and the CPC will not succeed.”

“I absolutely believe there need not be a new Cold War. I've met many times with Xi Jinping. And we were candid and clear with one another across the board. And I do not think there's any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan. And I made it clear that our policy in Taiwan has not changed at all. We're going to compete vigorously, but I'm not looking for conflict. I'm looking to manage this competition responsibly. And I want to make sure that every country abides by the international rules of the road.”

“As a first step, we'd really like to have a conversation with them about each other's doctrines, about crisis communication, crisis management. We're not in that space with Beijing yet. So, there's work to be done to begin the conversation, we think bilaterally. We're now at the 60th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis. We don't need to repeat that to know that we need to be at the table having conversations with each other.”

“The world today is neither peaceful nor tranquil.

China is willing to work with the US to give mutual respect, coexist peacefully… (and) find ways to get along in the new era. Doing so will not only be good for both countries, but also benefit the world.”
