  • Igor Dodon
    Igor Dodon “We are categorically opposed to this referendum. We are not saying 'no' to talks with the EU and we are not opposed to the EU. We oppose Sandu using it as an instrument for her own interests and those of her party. We are therefore asking voters during the campaign not to take part in the referendum.” 20 hours ago
  • Ben Hodges
    Ben Hodges “Since the fall of Avdiivka in Ukraine's east on February 17 [2024], its forces have oozed forward, swallowing several villages, as Ukrainian forces have performed tactical retreats. Here we are in April [2024], and [the Russians] are oozing out. Why is that? I think it's because that's the best the Russians can do. They do not have the capability to knock Ukraine out of the war. Russia lacked the ability to equip large armoured formations that could move rapidly, with supporting artillery, engineers and logistics. I don't think it exists. That's why I feel fairly confident that the mission for [Ukrainian] general Oleksandr Syrskyi for the next several months is to stabilise this as much as he can to buy time for Ukraine to grow the size of the army, to rebuild the defence industry of Ukraine, as well as give us time to find more ammunition for them. I think of 2024 as a year of industrial competition. So the army has got to buy time.” 22 hours ago

“Safeguarding the Republic of China, protecting democracy and freedom, and maintaining cross-strait and regional peace are the three most important missions of the KMT.”

“We will seize this opportunity to test all the training we normally do, and through this improve our current methods and raise our combat effectiveness. The Republic of China's forces are confident, capable, and determined to defend the safety of the Republic of China.”

“It is my view that the US government should immediately take necessary and long-overdue steps to do the right and obvious thing, that is, to offer the Republic of China America's diplomatic recognition as a free and sovereign country. This is not about Taiwan's future independence. It is about a recognition of an unmistakable, already existent reality. There is no need for Taiwan to declare independence because it is already an independent nation. Its name is the Republic of China. The people and government of the United States should simply accept this fundamentally decent, morally right thing. Taiwanese people deserve the world's respect for continuing down this free, democratic and sovereign path.”

“Japan firmly supports the application by the ROC [Republic of China], as one of our truly vital partners, to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership [TPP] trade agreement. In moving to help negotiate Taiwanese membership in the TPP, we eagerly look forward to the resolution of a number of related issues. Among them, the ROC ban on imports of food products from a total of five Japanese prefectures.”

“The people of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands must know our history, that what took place 76 years ago was not Taiwan's Retrocession Day, but was the day that Taiwan and the Penghu Islands came under enemy occupation. The narrative of a retrocession for Taiwan and Penghu, as territories returned to the ROC [Republic of China] is not an honest recounting of history.”

“A key difference between Taiwan now and when it lost its seat is that in practice it is also no longer claiming to represent territorial China. That's the big difference that's from the world in 1971 when the ROC [Republic of China] did claim it was going to be the legitimate government for all of China. It's hard to remember the world in that context - but that's also why there was very little sympathy for ROC at that time because it seemed like they were making implausibly ridiculous claims and excluding one billion people from the UN.”

“Let us here renew with one another our enduring commitment to a free and democratic constitutional system, our commitment that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China should not be subordinate to each other, our commitment to resist annexation or encroachment upon our sovereignty, and our commitment that the future of the Republic of China [Taiwan] must be decided in accordance with the will of Taiwanese.”

“The premier [Sun Yat-sen] established the Chinese Nationalist Party and led us in establishing the Republic of China. Every member of the KMT must always remember that we are all followers of the premier. Our central idea is to defend the Republic of China. Our central idea is the premier's lifelong effort to strive and work hard for our democracy and freedom.”

“People on both sides of the Strait [Taiwan Strait] once again fell into a downward malicious spiral. In the past, the two sides of the Strait have had the glory of peaceful and stable development, to which the 1992 consensus was key. Since the KMT's [Chinese Nationalist Party] proposal in September last year of the concept of a 1992 consensus based on the Republic of China Constitution, public understanding and trust in the consensus has gradually recovered.”

“On the one hand, we emphasize the subjectivity of the Republic of China. On the other, we emphasize the importance of the 1992 consensus, of having one China with different interpretations and of seeking common ground while reserving differences. There is no such thing as the party abandoning the idea of cross-strait peace.”

“Hunting is an integral part in our Indigenous culture. The offering of animals is often the most important process in our traditional religious rituals, which includes funerals, harvesting festivals, and prayers. I think it is unfair to even have to ask the government for the 'legal right' to hunt. The [Republic of China] government took over our homeland a few decades ago. We, the Indigenous people of Taiwan, have existed on this island living with our lives for millennia. Did the government ask for the “right” to rule over us when they took control?”

“I have a lot of confidence in you. As soldiers of the Republic of China [ROC], how could we let enemies strut around in our own airspace? I’m aware that facing the provocative behavior of the communist planes that have encircled the island and damaged regional peace in recent days. Your duty at the front line of the airspace in Penghu must be even heavier.”

“Today, the DPP wants to do away with the portrait in order to sever the link between the Republic of China and Sun. Once the national flag is separated from Sun Yat-sen, the significance of the founding of the Republic of China is lost.”
