@williamnee “Beijing claims to serve as a neutral actor, but with its indispensable support, and that of other like-minded regimes such as Iran, North Korea, and Belarus, the Russian regime has sustained its war effort [against Ukraine] for more than four years” cepa.org/article/the-pu…

Apparently leaked footage of Li Zhanshu, then chairman of China's National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, speaking with Russian counterparts on September 9, 2022 and expressing the Chinese gov’s understanding of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and its support

俄罗斯“卖队友”是出了名的。2022年9月9日,人大委员长栗战书在访问俄罗斯期间,参加了杜马大党团负责人会议。在会议上,栗战书明确表态中共支持俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的决定,并承诺给予俄相应的策应。虽然只是一次闭门会议,本不打算对外公开,但俄罗斯不守秘密,把中共挺俄的事公之于众,令世界一片哗然。

Xi and Putin have a close working relationship and shared vision for how the world should be ordered…they embrace a creed that privileges state power over individual liberty, is fundamentally hostile to free expression, open debate and independent thought cepa.org/article/the-pu…

It was a pleasure to speak with @TheSun on the China-Russia axis, the durable and deep relationship Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin have forged together and with other like-minded autocracies including North Korea & Iran, and growing risks to free societies m.youtube.com/watch?v=S-_o0v…

@jonstivers Leadership in Beijing will always seize opportunities to enhance leverage and sharpen coercive positioning.

Granting concessions for the mere *privilege* of meeting Chinese officials isn’t diplomacy. It’s tribute. And it’s a prime example of what’s broken about US-China policy. These meetings are just as much in China’s interest & US officials shouldn’t look like they are begging.

Taiwan was mentioned during Xi–Putin talks. From the joint statement signed in Beijing on May 20: "Russia reaffirms its commitment to the One-China principle, recognizes that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory, and that the Government of the PRC is the sole legal government representing all of China. Russia firmly opposes any form of 'Taiwan independence,' stressing that interference in the Taiwan question — purely an internal affair of China — undermines peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and firmly supports the steps taken by the Chinese government to safeguard national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and achieve national reunification. The Chinese side firmly supports Russia in safeguarding national security, stability, development, and prosperity, firmly supports Russia in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and opposes interference by external forces in Russia's internal affairs." ________________ Days after Xi told Trump that Taiwan is the issue that could blow up US–China relations, Moscow signs on to the full Beijing package, including support for "steps... toward reunification," language that does not exclude the use of force. China, in return, endorses Russia's "territorial integrity," and since 2022, Russia claims as its own territory the annexed Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, plus Crimea. This phrasing is widely read as a tacit endorsement of Russian annexations. "Opposing external interference in Russia's internal affairs" - Moscow consistently labels Western support for Ukraine as exactly that kind of "interference."

@derspiegel Putin and Xi have achieved what might be described as a “shared consciousness”…their respective bureaucracies have expanded linkages across multiple domains, including media, military cooperation, economic relations and governance practices cepa.org/article/the-pu…

Putin visits Beijing. At a time of intensifying strategic competition…the US will need allies to contest the divide and conquer strategies used by Moscow and Beijing, whose leaderships understand that alliances are integral to US power - my take in @cepa cepa.org/article/the-pu…

Putin in Beijing…The debate about the China-Russia relationship is over. It’s clear the two are locked into an intimate and dangerous quest to change the world in ways inimical to the West — my latest in @cepa cepa.org/article/the-pu…

CBS @TonyDokoupil is insinuating that there's political censorship in Taiwan. Interviewees lamenting "We can't speak freely" and a hotel manager saying they couldn't "cover anything political on their property". I just talked to the hotel in question - there's more to the story🧵
CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil@CBSEveningNews

Chinese President Xi Jinping called for the U.S. and China to avoid conflict between major powers, while reiterating China’s claim over Taiwan. In Taipei, people are following the summit. @TonyDokoupil reports from the region.
