“In response to Russia's pattern of aggressive actions, we have been strengthening our deterrence and defence across the Alliance. To avoid any miscalculation or misunderstanding about our ironclad commitment to defend each other. So if Kremlin's aim is to have less NATO on Russia's borders, it will only get more NATO. And if it wants to divide NATO, it will only get an even more united Alliance. Over the last years, our security environment has fundamentally changed for the worse. Peace cannot be taken for granted. Freedom and democracy are contested. And strategic competition is on the rise.”

“The judiciary is a red line that cannot be crossed. We are going to defend our judicial power and our democracy. Unfortunately the situation is very serious and [Kais Saied] is not giving any answers. He clearly intends to lay hands on the justice system to be able to attack anyone who opposes his decisions.”

“I would focus on bolstering a comprehensive and strategic alliance with the United States based on the shared values and principles of freedom, democracy, the market economy, constitutionalism and human rights. I will pursue open cooperation to expand common interests with related countries in the region by participating in working groups for vaccines, climate change and new technology under the Quad, a partnership between the U.S., Japan, Australia and India.”

“We must remind the Beijing authorities to not misjudge the situation and to prevent the internal expansion of 'military adventurism'. Authorities in Beijing should stop the spread of military adventurism within their ranks. The use of military means is absolutely not an option for resolving the differences between our two sides. To ease tension in the region, both Taipei and Beijing must work hard to take care of people's livelihoods and calm the hearts of the people in order to find peaceful solutions to problems together. We will hold fast to our sovereignty, uphold the values of freedom and democracy, defend territorial sovereignty and national security, and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.”

“There are virtually only a handful of political leaders left who even mention the need to preserve India's secularism. The B.J.P. may face increasing political challenges, but it has won its cultural war, with lasting effects on India's democracy, and on India's largest minority.”

“Don't do anything. Don't talk about the crackdown. Don't say anything about China we don't like … Don't talk about the party. Don't talk about Xinjiang. Don't talk about Tibet. Don't talk about anything that the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] doesn't like to hear. This is a way to oppress the population. It's a crime against the democracy movement in Beijing - a peaceful movement. Also, it's a monument against the decision by the Chinese government to kill all those people … to do an attack against their own young people. Now, it's a monument about what happened in Hong Kong.”

“This is a symbolically important move, which fits in with so many other sad recent ones, such as campus democracy walls being stripped of posters. There is a recurring theme of disappearances; of objects from campuses and disappearances of people into prisons or exile. What is disappearing in the process - or at least diminishing dramatically, as there are still contrasts - is the sense of Hong Kong universities as radically unlike mainland ones.”

“Not only it is impossible for the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] to act as a one-party state in a democratic Taiwan, but using state resources to implement and defend its own policies - having been elected in a landslide election - is exactly what a government is supposed to do in a democracy.”

“At present, certain international forces under the guise of 'democracy' and 'human rights' are interfering in the internal affairs of China and Russia, and brutally trampling on international law and recognized norms of international relations. China and Russia should increase their joint efforts to more effectively safeguard the security interests of both parties.”

“I cannot represent the whole democratic camp. The definition of 'democracy' is wide, but I can say I'm a firm democrat, an independent democrat. I understand that politicians face huge pressure. Some have left Hong Kong, some are in exile, some in jail, but I have stayed. And I think we cannot just lay down and do nothing. We cannot surrender. So if there is a chance, I will move forward. The space for the pro-democratic camp has undoubtedly narrowed. The path is steep. But I still have hope, because that's the only way. There is no next step if we do nothing. Yes, we do not have veto power now, but at least we can have the right to access information if I get into Legco. I do not know how much I can do in Legco, but I know that if we miss the chance to have a voice, we are all heading for a dead end.”

“Lithuania has become a beacon of democracy in the region, and that includes hosting exiled Russian and Belarusian opposition leaders, which sets an important example for others - other allies to follow. Now, we understand the challenges that you face. The regime in Belarus has been cynically using migrants as a hybrid tactic against Lithuania and its neighbors. And meanwhile, Russia is conducting a continuous hybrid campaign of its own. And now, China is increasing its pressure on Lithuania. I commend your government for its firm policy regarding China and we know that you have faced reprisals for your principled decisions.”

“When it first emerged social media was hailed as a symbol of freedom, but now it has turned into one of the main sources of threats to today's democracy. In this regard, it is important to inform the public to fight disinformation and propaganda within the framework of truth. We try to protect our people, especially the vulnerable sections of our society, against lies and disinformation without violating our citizens' right to receive accurate and impartial information.”

“I think that's the signal the Nobel committee was sending out. We are yet at another similar moment - a historical, existential moment - and we have to do something about it.
