  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 49 minutes ago
  • Louise Wateridge
    Louise Wateridge “Everywhere you look now in west Rafah this morning, families are packing up. Streets are significantly emptier. UNRWA estimates 150,000 people have now fled Rafah. New areas have been issued evacuation orders towards central Rafah in south Gaza and Jabalia in North Gaza.” 4 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “The Polish-Belarusian border is a unique place due to the pressure of illegal immigration. In fact, we are dealing with a progressing hybrid war. I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border. It is not only Poland's internal border, but also the EU border. Therefore, I have no doubt that all of Europe will have to ... invest in its security by investing in Poland's eastern border and in the security of our border.” 4 hours ago
  • Jakub Palowski
    Jakub Palowski “A direct attack on Kharkiv is quite unlikely because it is a big city. Ukraine currently has a mobilised army and, in the absence of a surprise, the defence of such a city would be quite effective. It is hard to tell what Russia wants to achieve in the Kharkiv region. It might be the opening of a new full-scale front, similar to the Donbas region; actions that would aim at capturing a limited area and accumulating Ukrainian troops in one place, so that they cannot be used elsewhere; or creating conditions for further offensives.” 4 hours ago
  • Yevgen Shapoval
    Yevgen Shapoval “Some people are panicking, but not like the occupiers would like them to. Yes, explosions are heard close up and the situation is not easy. It is difficult especially psychologically. We must be consistent and believe in Ukraine's defence forces. So even if they try to do something, to attack, they will get the response they deserve. Yes - some local tactical movements and even some larger-scale offensive operations are possible. But as for Kharkiv, I don't believe it can be captured.” 4 hours ago
  • Georgios Petropoulos
    Georgios Petropoulos “We simply have no tents, we have no blankets, no bedding, none of the items that you would expect a population on the move to be able to get from the humanitarian system.” 4 hours ago
  • Tal Beeri
    Tal Beeri “So far, the IDF has not struck Hezbollah's significant systems. Even if the government pursues a diplomatic agreement, it will only postpone the war that will break out whenever Hezbollah chooses and on its terms-by my estimation, no later than the end of 2026. No political or diplomatic agreement will prevent Hezbollah from continuing to operate. Any such agreement only means buying time, with Israel being the only side likely to adhere to it, while Hezbollah waits for an opportune moment to initiate a full-scale confrontation.” 20 hours ago

“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.”

“Taipei officially applied to join the Tokyo-led trade bloc [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] in September, fully demonstrating its determination to integrate into regional trade networks. The nation is prepared to further secure supply chains and work with like-minded partners to advance the post-pandemic recovery.”

“The country would talk to each CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] member nation and offer relevant documentation about its bid. Taiwan had already adjusted its laws and policies to conform to CPTPP regulations, while there had been no sign that China had done so. While the support of eight member countries would be sufficient, Taiwan still needed to be cautious about the possibility of interference by Beijing.”

“Support for Taiwan's bid would also send a strong message to Australian businesses impacted by China's recent boycotts of Australian products. Economic sanctions imposed on Australia by China reinforce the argument of engaging with Taiwan more closely and more deeply. Australia was Taiwan's third-largest source of agricultural goods, worth US$607 million last year, and the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] would provide structure to do business and enhance cybersecurity cooperation.”

“If China enters first, certainly there is a risk of them obstructing Taiwan. Taiwan joining anything, they oppose. If China can change these, I think changing this system and then entering (the trade pact) is not a bad thing. But the prerequisite is that if this system is not changed, why can they enter CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership]? This is an issue I don't really understand. Look at their information - nothing can enter. Facebook can't enter, Google can't enter... At the very least after we [Taiwan] submitted the written application, we've not heard that any member opposes, not like after China applied, when some countries brought it up. I think if the political obstacles can be reduced as much as possible, I don't believe talks will go on for decades.”

“According to our 2019 report, it is agriculture, domestic car components and food manufacturers that are going to be more heavily affected by the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] accession, while automotive lighting and bumpers for exports would not be. The Council of Agriculture has calculated that after weighing the benefits and drawbacks, Taiwanese agriculture would make a gain of NT$50 billion [US$1.8 billion] in exports within five years of joining the CPTPP.”

“We do understand that Taiwan has submitted a formal request to join the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership]. As you alluded to, we are not a party to the CPTPP, therefore, we'll have to defer to CPTPP parties regarding their views on Taiwan's potential accession. That said, we would expect that Taiwan's record as a responsible member of the World Trade Organization and Taiwan's strong embrace of democratic values would factor into the CPTPP's parties' evaluations of Taiwan as a potential candidate for accession. When it comes to Taiwan more broadly, we will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues consistent with the wishes and the best interest of people in Taiwan - people on Taiwan, excuse me. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taiwan.”

“The Chinese government only wants to bully Taiwan in the international community, and is the arch criminal in increased hostility across the Taiwan Strait. China is not a member of the CPTPP [Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership] and its trade system has been widely questioned globally for not meeting the high standards of the bloc. China sent its air force to menace Taiwan shortly after the application announcement. This pattern of behaviour could only come from China.”

“Our strategy is to line up allies in a low-key manner and work on building consensus before pursuing any official application [to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)]. That way, things tend to happen smoothly as a matter of course. China, on the other hand, surprised the world when it moved to officially join the trade pact of 11 Pacific Rim countries, including Australia, Canada, Chile, Japan and New Zealand. Beijing's surprise bid for inclusion does not mean Taipei should feel pressured into making a parallel bid. There's no set timetable for inclusion after an official bid. There are certain procedures, and there has to be consensus from member countries that inclusion is appropriate.”
