Is China overtaking the US and Europe in influence in the Arab world?
“The US-China great power rivalry playing out in trade and technology presents various threats and opportunities to the Arab countries. The Arab countries for example have been caught in the crossfire of US tariffs on steel and aluminum which are meant to take aim at China’s steel and aluminum exports, but it ends up adversely impacting the exports of countries like the UAE and Bahrein to the United States almost inadvertently.”
Gazprom Executive to ShanghaiEye about the Power Siberia 2
“The Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline will run across Mongolia. The pipeline is expected to deliver 50 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, which will double the present capacity. The route will run across Russia’s Western and Eastern Siberia. The implementation of Siberia 2 will strengthen the energy cooperation between China and Russia. It will significantly improve the ecological and economic conditions in China. At the same time, it will help realize the gasification of areas in Russia along the pipeline and supply natural gas to some Chinese regions where gas hasn’t been available.”
Will Russia and China Come to Iran’s Rescue Against Israel?
“Will Russia and China support Iran militarily?… Don’t expect Putin and Xi Jinping to jump in, but we can’t rule out indirect support. Just look at China’s response to the war in Ukraine. On paper, they are neutral, but they continue to help Russia, whether it is by buying Russian energy, or selling military parts to the Russian army. Maybe they could do the same for Iran. We saw the US and the UK shoot down Iranian drones for Israel. Don’t expect Russia or China to do that for Iran.”
Boeing Tianjin Composites: Phase 3 Expansion Project
“Boeing is very proud of the partnership that we have built with China over more than half a century. We are committed to China for the next 50 years and look forward to doing everything that we can, whether it is through its composite manufacturing, researching technology, in training, in the completion and delivery center that we have, working on sustainability. Together as partners with China, Boeing is here to stay.”
India, China and the Race for Deep-Sea Mining Licences
“Our wonder rocks are rich in resources like manganese, cobalt, nickel and copper, what we call rare earth metals. The seabed is littered with these rocks. The financial upside is huge. They are worth almost USD 110 billion. You can make batteries with them, or EV chargers or solar farms or wind farms. Basically, the deep sea could power India’s green transition, so it is very important.”
Wang Yi at the 60th Munich Security Conference
“It is a common belief within the global business community that the next China is still China. As President Xi Jinping pointed out, China will open its door even wider to the world. Those who attempt to shut China out in the name of de-risking will make a historical mistake. The world economy is like a big ocean that cannot be cut into isolated lakes”.
The US-China Showdown over Submarine Cables
“Submarine cables are the world’s information pipelines, and as such they are becoming a major front in the new cold war between China and America. Infrastructures laid today are consolidating the power blocks of tomorrow with implications for commerce, strategic policy and international law”.
The year ahead 2024: the US-China ties
“The most important red line that can never be crossed in US-China relations”, and “Reunification is unstoppable”: that’s what’s Chinese president Xi Jinping stressed to US president Joe Biden on the Taiwan issue in their most recent meeting in San Francisco.
China turns peacemaker in West Asia
“America’s limitations are becoming evident. Even before this war began, they were losing ground to China. The conflict will only precipitate the shift, give China more opportunities to engage and extend its influence. It may or may not be successful in hammering a truce. But one thing is quite clear: West Asian powers do not trust America with the job anymore.”
Vladimir Putin’s exclusive interview with CGTN
“President Xi Jinping is not a leader who makes decisions solely based on current situations. He thoroughly analyzes and evaluates the situation, making long-term considerations for future’s sake. This is crucial. This sets true world leaders apart from what we call “temporary” figures. The “temporary workers” only come for five minutes, perform on the international stage, and then disappear without a trace.”
China’s Belt And Road Initiative: 10 Years Of Evolution And Beyond
“China still needs to expand globally to remain stable, and the rest of the world still needs China’s expertise in infrastructure capacity, and there will be a demand for that going forward. So, the underlying motivations for the Belt & Road Initiative will continue, and China’s three new strategies reflect the fact that it may not use the same terms – Belt and Road – anymore, but it is still planning on continuing to expand and strengthen its overseas engagements.”
Nicolas Maduro to Xinhua News Agency:
“We could classify the enlarged BRICS group as the great engine for the acceleration of the process of the birth of a new world, a world based on cooperation, where the Global South has the primordial voice, a world without hegemony, without colonialism and imperialism.”
Gérard Araud, former French ambassador to the United States:
“Every signal is pointing towards an inward-looking Europe. Un continent de vieux. The future of humankind will be definitely decided elsewhere.”
