“There are some suggestions that what [Putin] is trying to do now is take out as much infrastructure and civil society as [possible] and that he has this view that if [he] can't have Ukraine, then Ukrainians can't have it either. That's [the only explanation] that adds up because otherwise the way this war is being conducted is grotesquely at odds with what the [Kremlin] says its objectives are.”

“The key factors in our GDP growth forecast include COVID-19's impact on domestic demand, as well as overseas demand; the tightness of the supply chain, such as via high freight costs and the shortage of semiconductor chips. The property market is now undergoing massive M&As [Mergers and acquisitions], and the main potential buyers should be state-owned developers. We expect proactive fiscal policies, such as building more infrastructure projects and loosening monetary policies through cutting interest rates, to support the economy.”

“You can't give up on China, because it remains the world's most lucrative market, despite its rapid slowdown in growth most recently. The pullout of factories and other drastic measures to cut reliance on China will therefore be unrealistic, and it is preferred to make adjustments on our investment infrastructure in China in accordance with the changing global business environment.”

“The Chinese are very good at building infrastructure on the border areas and this is just one example of that. The bridge is a part of Chinese infrastructure along the LAC so that they can move well, move quickly and deploy their forces quickly. That is the standard Chinese way of border management. The absence of roads and tracks and motorable sort of infrastructure means India can deploy much more slowly compared with China and because of that China has an advantage.”

“This is a major departure from Donald Trump's 'America First' foreign policy, which envisioned the US effectively taking on China by itself and making little to no effort to find areas of common interest with Beijing. As part of this new strategy, Washington will increasingly look to counter Chinese economic influence by promoting its own trade and infrastructure initiatives. This will naturally engender more economic competition between the US and China but may redound to the benefit of countries in a position to pick and choose the terms of their economic partnerships with Washington, Beijing, or both.”

“By federal law we have a large range of responsibilities and powers in concerns of economic development of the Far East. We can carve out land for any investment project. So when an investor comes to us, this investor will get land much faster than going through the usual process. We provide infrastructure to companies who invest, give them what they need such as transport links, roads, power, water, gas and heat.”

“If someone says that the opening of these roads is beneficial only for Azerbaijan, do not believe it. If someone says that the opening of transportation is beneficial only for Armenia, do not believe it either. The opening of transportation, especially in this situation, is beneficial for both Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is in Azerbaijan's interest because it should get transportation with Naxcivan; it is in Armenia's interest because we need a reliable railway link with the Russian Federation and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

“Yes, our debt to China is 71% of our GDP, but we needed that infrastructure. It was quite natural that we raise our partnership with China. Neither Europe nor America were ready to build the infrastructure we needed. We’re projecting our country into the future, and looking after the well-being of our people. Even the United States has trillions of dollars in debt to China, you know.”
