    Anitta Hipper “Let me recall the European Council's conclusion from 21 March, where the Council is also reiterating its unwavering support to Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. And the last point on these referendums, that were a total sham and [conducted] at gunpoint. When it comes to the discussion on peace talks, our position is very clear, and I would like to reiterate two main points. One, the EU's position for peace is that it is for Ukraine to decide the actual conditions, and the second point that nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” 11 hours ago

“This [diplomatic fissures between the United States and its European allies] has been pretty unequivocally good for China. Beijing sees the wider opportunities that this could bring, from Taiwan contingencies to more global cooperation with Russia to a weakened United States.”

“The Chinese have seen this coming since Trump was elected and signaled that he wanted to quickly end the war in Ukraine. While a complete rapprochement might not be in the cards, they're nervous because if Trump lifts sanctions on Russia, then Moscow's dependency on China decreases. In the same way as Nixon with China policy, they see Trump as someone who is uniquely placed to run against the current nature of U.S. policy towards Russia and could even travel to Moscow. This doesn't mean the Chinese think that the Russians will break relations, but their strong alignment today could diminish.”

“China really learned a lesson from the first Trump administration. It's not wise to immediately take a dramatic measure against Trump, because at the end of the day, we know for sure Trump is very transactional.”

“Placing additional tariffs on Chinese goods will not help the US to address its own issues, including the fentanyl crisis. Such issues can only be addressed through dialogue and cooperation. Such unchecked actions will only cause catastrophe to global economic growth and trade.”

“The heightened export controls on rare metals could potentially impact the US high-tech and defense industries, which are highly reliant on imports. It highlights the resourcefulness of the Chinese government's toolkit in responding the US' unilateral move.”

“China's swift response to the US tariff hikes underlines the Chinese government's determination to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. There are no winners in any trade war. Tariffs placed on some of the US' comparatively competitive exports to China such as energy and certain categories of machinery will affect the performance of US companies, as the tariffs will affect their market share in China. However, China's countermeasures are meant to serve as a reminder to US policymakers and hopefully help them better reflect on the negative impacts of the tariffs they imposed.”

“It is a response with equal magnitude but in a different way than in 2018 [US - China tariff war during Trump's first term]. This time, it is a mix of tariffs on targeted products, export control and restrictions on market access. It means China is using its role as one of the world's largest markets and producers to bargain with the US.”

“Much will depend on the US and how Trump views China's decision to threaten retaliatory tariffs. If Trump sees this as a direct challenge, his administration could respond with additional trade restrictions. This would intensify the conflict.”

“As Trump's call with Xi looms, it appears the Chinese president is giving diplomacy a chance to work as it did in the cases of Canada and Mexico. Delaying the tariff implementation until February 10 will allow for top level leadership to meet before then, which still creates an opportunity for both sides to step back from the brink and de-escalate the situation.”

“We still don't know the details and nothing has been 100 per cent confirmed in regards to the claims, but if there truly has been a breakthrough in the cost to train models from $100 million+ to this alleged $6 million number, this is actually very positive for productivity and AI end users as cost is obviously much lower, meaning lower cost of access.”

“Beijing will play it safe when there's no protocol or precedent for a Chinese leader to attend the inauguration of a U.S. president. I don't think the Chinese will take the risk. There could be risks in the guest list, for example. Taiwan's top diplomat in the U.S. attended the swearing-in of President Joe Biden in 2021. Should Trump slap tariffs as high as 60% on Chinese goods upon taking office as he's threatened, Xi would look like a fool if he had chosen to attend, and that's unacceptable to Beijing.”

“The fact that China remains on good terms with the Taliban suggests that HTS is unlikely to pose a critical problem for China. Indeed, China's infrastructure building capacities are likely to be sought after in the war-torn Middle East.”

“For China, the fall of Assad does represent the loss of a diplomatic partner. China's overall approach in the region has been one of pragmatic engagement. While the HTS is unlikely to be keen to work with China as a close partner, China will most likely seek to maintain engagement with the new government, including with a view to opportunities for cooperation. China's engagement with the Taliban in Afghanistan could provide a potential comparison but it is too early to say so definitively. Given that China has adopted a more cautious approach to overseas investments in recent years, while it is possible that China might make new investments in Syria, these will likely be calibrated against the risk of instability and potential opportunities for increased longer-term influence. Al-Assad's fall poses a challenge for China because China has growing interests in the Middle East region as an economic and development partner, and increasingly in areas such as technology and defence.”

“China is accelerating the upgrading of its air force and has many creative ideas in the development of drones, which will cause difficulties for neighbouring countries. Taiwan needs to pay attention to aerial advancements and breakthroughs achieved by the Chinese military, like those displayed at the airshow in November. This Zhuhai airshow was a big warning for Taiwan. The development of China's fighter jets, advanced drones and other unmanned systems will pose a great challenge to Taiwan's air defences. To be able to keep up with China's advancements in its air force, Taiwan will need to replace its ageing aircraft, improve ground-based air radar detection capabilities, develop new missile defences, and adopt advanced asymmetric military capabilities. But Taiwan's progress in this regard is still very slow. Which is very worrying.”

“Chinese developments in airpower today are closely linked with Beijing's strategic competition with the United States. And a lot of developments are a mirror image response to American developments.”

“China's goal of a stable, healthy and sustainable China-U.S. relationship remains unchanged, following the election. China is ready to work with the new U.S. administration to maintain communication, expand cooperation and manage differences.”

“The U.S. should not expect China to manage North Korea. It is not the case that China is responsible to manage North Korea and the U.S. is responsible for managing South Korea. I hope the U.S. government could understand China's stance. The troop deployment is a matter between Russia and North Korea, while China's attitude remains unchanged that the conflict should not be escalated.”

“For China there's probably a combination of a little bit of exasperation, a little bit of panic and a little bit of they don't know what to do with regard to the current situation. It's unclear if Beijing was informed of Pyongyang's move [sending troops to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war] in advance. Beijing also could fret over Russia gaining more influence than China over North Korea.”

“Beijing must find a balance between supporting Moscow and not angering the West. Chinese President Xi Jinping might for his own sake ignore the whole thing. Xi has built a personal relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and he cannot see Putin fail. At the same time, Xi cannot anger the Europeans and Americans when his country's economy is struggling. So he's not going to say anything publicly about this [North Korean troops sent to fight in the Russia-Ukraine war].”

“I don't think that this (the transfer of North Korean troops) is such a decisive step that would lead to some kind of significant change of China's attitude toward North Korea or Russia.”

“Contrary to what China says officially… I don't think Pyongyang would have surprised China by sending troops without discussing it before. Without China's consent, there wouldn't be a North Korean regime.”

“The Russia-North Korea partnership runs contrary to Beijing's goal for a peaceful Korean Peninsula. Beijing is aware of the complexity and danger of the situation. The fact that China hasn't said anything yet on the military alliance agreement between North Korea and Russia indicates that China strongly disagrees with it.”

“Trump certainly says, thinks that he can talk to [Chinese President] Xi Jinping, in the same way he thinks he has special rapport with strong men and dictators the world over. And I suspect that Xi knows how to stroke that ego in a way that could be helpful. At the same time, China also knows that Trump is very unpredictable, and this would see a return of a widening trade war that would hurt the Chinese economy. When it comes to Harris, the danger for China, is the predictability; the Biden administration's biggest success has globally has been deepening US alliances and partnerships and further isolating China. So if we're talking about security issues like the South China Sea, like Taiwan, then I certainly think that China would prefer Trump to Harris. On the economy, maybe they would prefer Harris to Trump. I don't think either of these candidates is gonna be a very good thing for China. China would prefer Harris on the economy, and Trump on security.”

“Let me stress that the EU's anti-subsidy probe and high tariffs on Chinese EVs-neither of which were demanded by the industry-is pure protectionism detrimental to China-EU industrial and supply chain cooperation, to European consumers, and to EU's green transition and global climate response. Dialogue and cooperation is the underlying feature of China-EU relations, and China-EU trade and economic cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature. Trade frictions should be dealt with properly through dialogue and consultation based on mutual respect, which is in the interests of both China and the EU, and what the business community and the wider public would expect. We urge the EU to continue its consultations with China, work constructively and show sincerity and flexibility to find the solution and avoid escalating trade frictions.”

“These tariffs on Chinese, European and US EV producers based in China neither strengthen the EU's EV manufacturing resilience, nor foster innovation or job creation. We deeply regret and are dissatisfied with what we view as a politically driven approach.”

“The first thing you have to do is you have to generate an invasion force, which would be a pretty large force, to go onto an island which has a prepared defense. There's 100 miles of Taiwan Straits that you have to get across, and you're doing that in large transport vessels that are very vulnerable during that crossing. You can't do it without pushing a large landing force across the straits on ships. There's no other way.”

“My sense is that a successful Chinese invasion of Taiwan would send massive ripples throughout the region. China would likely emerge as the dominant military power in the region, not the United States, and it would trigger a range of second- and third-order effects. For instance, America's Pacific allies could lose faith in U.S. deterrence and try to make security deals with China. Japan and South Korea - both treaty allies of the United States - could join the nuclear club as a way to defend themselves against China. Is it quite the fall of the Roman Empire? I don't know, but that's the right kind of question to ask.”

“As the world enters a new period defined by turbulence and transformation, we are confronted with pivotal choices that will shape our future. Should we allow the world to descend into the abyss of disorder and chaos, or should we strive to steer it back on the path of peace and development? The more tumultuous our times become, the more firmly we must stand at the forefront, exhibiting tenacity, demonstrating the audacity to pioneer and displaying the wisdom to adapt, adding that China is willing to work with all BRICS countries to open a new horizon in the high-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation. We should build a BRICS committed to peace, and we must all act as defenders of common security. Only by embracing the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security can we pave the way for universal security.”

“Under Xi Jinping, China has doubled down on efforts to assert its territorial claims in disputed areas along its periphery. Weaker states like Nepal face immense pressures because of the overwhelming power differential with China. If China does not face costs for encroaching on its weakest neighbors, Beijing will be further emboldened to threaten countries in the region.”
