  • Janet Yellen
    Janet Yellen “Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.” 8 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 8 hours ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 17 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “To maintain the required pace of the offensive … it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to the troops, primarily weapons.” 17 hours ago

“The prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao is always is always close to the heart of the motherland... The complete reunification of our motherland is an aspiration shared by people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits.”

“If there is a military conflict between China and the US, it will most likely take place in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea. The strengthening of US strongpoints in the second island chain shows how big the potential range of such a military conflict would be. If a war breaks out between China and the US, it is unlikely to end with a few warships of both countries fighting each other at sea. US preparations now have already included the capacity of military mobilization outside the region, so China's military preparedness now needs to include a response to them.”

“The mainland encourages and supports normal business exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and protects the legitimate rights and interests of Taiwan compatriots and companies in accordance with the law. However, no one or company is allowed to sabotage cross-Straits relations by providing financial aid to secessionists while making money on the mainland. This attitude is clear and consistent, and Taiwan companies investing in the mainland are well aware of it. There is no room for ambiguity about whether to adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus, and whether to oppose or support secessionists.”

“China is willing to work with the US to reduce the risks in the situation in the Taiwan Straits, but history tells us that the only thing the US really cares about is talks through strength. China will have to fight and have a dialogue with the US at the same time. We hope that the US side will participate in the video summit with some sincerity and it will promote the solution to the problems to ease the highly tense China-US relations, instead of putting the priority on getting tough on China to satisfy such a need in the US society. The whole world is now worried about the further deterioration of China-US relations, and the key to turning the situation around is to change the US' belligerent policy toward China.”

“A fundamental danger is that the political conflicts across the Taiwan Straits are intensifying with no sign of easing. The DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority is opposed to reunification and is seeking 'independence.' The strategic hostility of the US toward the Chinese mainland continues to rise. No matter how to evaluate a war, predictions that a war will eventually occur due to irreconcilable political conflicts or miscalculation are growing among the three sides [China - Taiwan - US].”

“The Taiwan Straits situation is getting worse because the US and the Taiwan secessionist DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] authority controlled by the US are provoking, and this will definitely receive retaliation from the Chinese mainland…the US will keep playing 'the Taiwan card' and support the authority on the island to expand its 'international influence'. Although the US treats China as its major strategic competitor, the two sides should at least try to avoid the worst-case scenario, to improve crisis management.”

“This is the true situation of the Taiwan Straits: First, the mainland doesn't want to fight a war. It has the goodwill to seek peaceful reunification and take war as the last resort. Second, the DPP [Democratic Progressive Party] dares not fight. They are bluffing, but know very well that the island's military forces are weak. They cannot withstand even a single blow. If there is a war, Taiwan will be surely defeated and collapse. Third, the US cannot fight. Should it not go into a war there, the Taiwan Straits will be Washington's leverage to contain the mainland. Otherwise, the Straits will become the grave of American soldiers. The US will suffer heavy losses instead of making gains.”

“Biden does not have the political authority to announce that the US military will 'defend Taiwan' when a war breaks out, nor does he have the confidence to have a strategic collision with the Chinese mainland in the Taiwan Straits to support Taiwan secessionists until a desperate fight erupts, and make the Americans bear the risk of a bottomless war for Taiwan island. So, even if he dared to make a slip of the tongue, he would dare not really think so from the bottom of his heart.”

“The US is in the process of constantly clarifying its one-China policy, including some so-called Taiwan-related legislation passed in the Trump era. No matter what the White House says, Biden's remarks illustrate a US obsession with Taiwan on which his younger aides, including members of Congress, are not backing down... In some areas the adjustment may be positive, in others, however, it may be more negative. Biden is trying to convince himself of what to avoid, but at the same time he can't let go of this hyped-up obsession on certain issues. If this contradiction remains for a long term, there can only be one explanation: Biden wants to see a clash happen in the Taiwan Straits but doesn't want to take responsibility if that happens, which is extremely dangerous.”

“Tsai's speech advocates Taiwan secessionism and incite confrontation between the two sides of Taiwan Straits, distorting facts and holding the Taiwan public hostage in the name of consensus and solidarity, while colluding with foreign forces to provoke the mainland and seek secessionism. Our crackdown against Taiwan secessionists is targeting the DPP and secessionist forces, rather than Taiwan compatriots. The DPP cannot fool the Taiwan public or the international community by creating bad blood and obscuring the facts.”

“The US warship's transit through the Taiwan Straits is about sending a provocative message, and to encourage Taiwan secessionism, but the US military is not ready for a war with the PLA. So the PLA's [People's Liberation Army] action in the region is not just targeting any specific move made by the US, because the US' intention is clear, and what the PLA is doing is about preparing for the worst case scenario - an all-out military intervention made by US and its allies, and only by doing so, the PLA will be able to defeat all kinds of enemies, especially the foreign interventionist forces, when China launches an operation to reunify Taiwan with the mainland. There is no secret that the military exercises the PLA has conducted around Taiwan are targeting secessionist forces on the island and any foreign forces that support them. We can openly tell them that we are treating them as simulated enemies during those relevant military exercises.”

“The PLA [People's Liberation Army] has organized troops to follow, supervise and monitor the US ship throughout its passage in the Taiwan Straits. These frequent provocations fully prove that the US is undermining the peace and stability of the Taiwan Straits, and creating risks in the region. The troops of the command theater remain on high alert all the time, and will firmly safeguard the security of national sovereignty and the peace and stability of the region.”

“Once China substantially strengthens its nuclear forces, its only purpose will be to deter the US. Since there is already no mutual trust between China and the US, Chinese society is fully convinced that the US' ultimate strategic goal is to bring China down. While not giving up on maintaining peace between the two countries, we must be prepared for the possibility that a war could eventually occur in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea. One of China's major strategic missions today is to make the most complete layout for that day.”

“The US missiles could bring some threats to the PLA if war breaks out between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, so this is more proof that the US has violated its promises made in the three joint communiques with the People's Republic of China to gradually reduce its arms sales to Taiwan. The threat that these Harpoon missiles poses to the PLA is very limited, as they are high subsonic missiles designed in the 1980s, and the current self-defense and anti-missile facilities installed by the PLA on its vessels and land-based bases can shoot them down easily. The US has a more advanced anti-ship missile with stealth capability, but it won't sell it to Taiwan, so the latest announced sale is another expensive deal aimed at taking Taiwan taxpayers' money with low-quality weapons, in other words, the US is still treating the island as a 'cash machine'.”

“China will take legitimate and necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty and security interests with firm determination. The move has interfered in China's internal affairs, seriously damaged China's sovereignty and security interests, and sent wrong signals to Taiwan secessionists, and has seriously harmed China-US relations and the peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.”
