  • Ursula von der Leyen

  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 42 minutes ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 49 minutes 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.” 16 hours ago

“China does not gamble on the United States to lose, interfere in its internal affairs, or interfere in the U.S. election, and is willing to be a partner and friend with the United States. If the United States continues to interfere in China's internal affairs and harm China's interests on issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, and the South China Sea, how can we maintain the bottom line of bilateral relations no matter how many 'guardrails' are set up?”

“This is by far the most important leak of evidence from the region and the largest and the most significant. It's much more significant than anything we've seen before because it contains evidence on so many levels.”

“The severe repression that China has rolled out in Xinjiang, in Tibet, in Hong Kong has all taken place since 2015 the year that the Olympic delegates awarded Beijing the Games. The I.O.C. would be within its right to say that these issues have to be addressed. They haven't.”

“The measure maliciously denigrates the human rights situation in China's Xinjiang in disregard of facts and truth. It seriously violates international law and basic norms governing international relations and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs. China deplores and firmly rejects this.”

“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.”

“We apologise for the trouble caused to our respected Chinese customers, partners and the public. To clarify, the paragraph about Xinjiang in the letter is only for expressing the original intention of compliance and legality, not its intention or position.”

“China is committing genocide, is killing people, and the world wants to play games with China? The world must boycott. They shouldn't join the Games, they shouldn't even broadcast the sport on TV. As long as countries join the games, they are supporting the genocide. And all the governments, everyone around the world, they know exactly what's happening to Uyghurs in Xinjiang.”

“Unfortunately, there are people in Japan who have a biased view of China's political system ... and are spreading rumors about human rights in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. Given that China supported Tokyo hosting the Olympics, I think Japan should have good intentions toward our Games. Recently Japan has been making some negative moves regarding Taiwan, saying 'a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency'. This is one-sided provocation and we cannot accept it.”

“The US has been fabricating the biggest lie of the century about so-called 'genocide' in Xinjiang, but it has long been debunked by facts. Based on its ideological biases as well as lies and rumors, the US attempts to interfere with the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will only expose its malicious intention and make it loose more moral principles and credibility. Speaking of 'genocide', the US fits this label better than anyone else for the evil crimes they committed against Native Americans. The US practice gravely violates the principle of political neutrality enshrined in the Olympic Charter, runs counter to the Olympic motto of 'together' and stands on the opposite side of global athletes and sports fans. China deplores and firmly opposes to the remarks of the US side and has lodged stern representations with the US and will respond with firm countermeasures.”

“While Pakistan might be thinking of leveraging on Afghanistan against India, this is not necessarily the case for China. China's primary concern now is for the Taliban to ... build an inclusive and moderate regime so that terrorism would not spill over to Xinjiang and the region. Any other calculus further to that remains to be seen.”

“If the security situation in Afghanistan doesn't improve soon, terrorist activities may flare up in the country and threaten China's Xinjiang and regional countries where China has interests. Though the Afghan Taliban had vowed not to allow any force to use Afghan territories to attack another country, it may lack real control of the complex power branches and remote mountainous areas.”

“The Department of Commerce remains firmly committed to taking strong, decisive action to target entities that are enabling human rights abuses in Xinjiang or that use US technology to fuel China's destabilizing military modernization efforts.”

“We firmly oppose any external forces interfering in China's internal affairs under the pretext of Xinjiang-related issues. We also hope that relevant parties will not be deceived by the lies about the so-called forced labor. No matter what kind of packaging or excuse the US uses, it will not be able to cover up lies. The essence of lies and rumors is doomed to fail. I also want to tell you that the desperate efforts to stigmatize and suppress Xinjiang cotton have made it known to more consumers and become an important name card of Xinjiang agricultural products.”

“Our interaction with Chinese officials, that version of what is happening in Xinjiang is completely different to the version of what we hear from the Western media and the Western governments. Because we have our very strong relationship with China, and because we have a relationship based on trust, so we actually accept the Chinese version. What they say about their programmes in Xinjiang, we accept it. The CPC [Communist Party of China] is a unique model. Up until now, we were told that the best way for societies to improve themselves is the Western system of democracy. What the CPC has done is that it has brought this alternative model. And they have actually beaten all Western democracies in the way they have brought up merit in their society.”

“China must immediately dismantle the internment camps, release the people arbitrarily detained in them and in prisons, and end the systematic attacks against Muslims in Xinjiang. The international community must speak out and act in unison to end this abomination, once and for all.”

“A couple of years ago, Taiwan was not seen as one of the major players in either the European Asia strategy nor countries' [individual] strategies. This has obviously changed due to the developments in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, the coronavirus pandemic, and the US administration focus on the island. As for the practical implications, it may not change the island's isolation in international organisations and forums but it clearly signals that countries are willing to engage with Taiwan.”

“We all know that these (Canadian) politicians don't even know where Xinjiang (province) is. There are no supporting facts. Especially for us who have visited Xinjiang, and know that Xinjiang's situation is like other places, people's lives are getting better and better. They use these lies, and those politicians, what kind of legal base can prove China has committed genocide, those actions, those policies? None. Does somebody's evidence necessarily mean that it is fact? We should be objective. Many people have ulterior motives.”

“Human rights is a universal value, so many countries are very concerned about the forced labor of Uighurs and other Muslims in China's Xinjiang region and their human rights. Chinese authorities should explain the situation and clarify their concerns, rather than stir up nationalism as its response to global society.”

“Freedom, democracy, human rights and prosperity are the principles and values that the KMT holds in its view on cross-strait and international controversies. Whether it be the Han people, Uighurs or other ethnic minorities, labor rights and religious rights should be guaranteed and respected. People in Taiwan have very limited knowledge about what is happening in Xinjiang, so Chinese authorities and the parties concerned should make information transparent, enabling more people to understand the working and living conditions of cotton farmers in Xinjiang, which would help resolve the debate. Stirring up nationalist rhetoric or reprimanding or boycotting others is not helpful, nor can it help improve the human rights, and living and labor conditions of Uighurs.”
