Für China waren die Regierungskonsultationen ein 100%-iger Erfolg, weil das Bild von Harmonie erzeugt wurde. Themen wie #Taiwan & die Notwendigkeit der Risikominimierung sprach der Kanzler nicht an. #China verbucht das alles als Zeichen der Schwäche.

Deutschland wurde auf die Position des Bittstellers verwiesen. Die Realität ist: #China wird seine Emissionen senken, wenn das Xi Jinping machtpolitisch vorteilhaft erscheint. Statt freundlich zu bitten, sollten wir also versuchen, die chinesische Interessenlage zu beeinflussen.
Nicht erst seit #Scholz gilt: Wir haben die 🇩🇪 Chinapolitik an das veränderte Selbstverständnis und den veränderten globalen Machtanspruch Chinas nicht angepasst. Insofern gibt es eine ungute Kontinuität von deutscher Seite, wie diese Regierungskonsultationen geführt werden.

1/ SecState Blinken will soon embark on a trip to #Beijing, where he will meet w/ senior 🇨🇳officials, possibly even Xi Jinping. The visit is unlikely to lead to breakthroughs, but it can help open channels of communication important for reducing risk of miscalculation & building… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2/ This trip (June 16-19) will be #Blinken’s first high-level visit to China since the #Biden Administration entered office and he became SecState. Blinken’s original trip in February was postponed in response to the incursion of a Chinese spy balloon into US sovereign airspace.
3/ Blinken's upcoming visit follows recent instances of heightened US-China tension: May 26, a Chinese J-16 cut in front of a USAF RC-135 in international airspace; June 3, a Chinese Luyang III disrupted an exercise between US destroyer and Canadian frigate in the #TaiwanStrait.
Taiwan's air force scrambled into action on Sunday after spotting 10 Chinese warplanes crossing the sensitive median line of the #Taiwan Strait, as the island's defence ministry said four Chinese warships also carried out combat patrols. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…
This is the second time in less than a week that Taiwan has reported renewed Chinese military activity, after 37 Chinese military aircraft on Thursday flew into the island's air defence zone, some of which then flew into the western Pacific.
In a short statement, Taiwan's defence ministry said that as of 2 p.m. (0600 GMT) on Sunday it had detected 24 Chinese air force planes, including J-10, J-11, J-16 and Su-30 fighters, as well as H-6 bombers.
🧵After the thread I posted here where I argued that rather than a new bipolarity the world is tracking for a period of protracted instability and conflict, where regional balancing will be key, I have been asked to explain my argument in more detail. So, a few key points: 1/10
First, we are in a period of considerable uncertainty about relative power distribution worldwide, especially when it comes to where the US and China are in relative terms. We can assess traditional power indices, but we still struggle to assess relative vulnerabilities. 2/10
Second, uncertainty about the relative power balance in the system encourages the key players to assume that we might have already entered a power-transition cycle, and to leverage this opportunity the principal powers become more prone to take risk, fueling conflict. 3/10

Former German fighter pilots work as trainers in China.

The deal, which includes measures to streamline border procedures, is the first agreement to be signed under the new framework, which started last year.
The framework aims to strengthen economic ties between Washington and Taipei, and open Taiwan to more US exports.
“@bikhim said Tuesday that Ukraine’s success in defending itself against Russia’s invasion, with the help of the United States and other nations, is important for deterring China from trying to invade #Taiwan.”

“I think pushing back on aggression is the key message that will help to deter any consideration or miscalculation that an invasion can be conducted unpunished, without costs, in a rapid way,” Ms. Hsiao told reporters.
“We must ensure that anyone contemplating the possibility of an invasion understands that, and that is why Ukraine’s success in defending against aggression is so important also for Taiwan.”
A U.S. House committee on Wednesday recommended expediting weapons sales and improving combined military training with #Taiwan as part of a 10-point policy blueprint to deter Chinese military aggression. focustaiwan.tw/politics/20230…

1/ A fascinating presentation by General David Petraeus unfolded today at the Qatar Economic Forum's panel: "Return of the Multipolar World." His observations were both profound and timely, shedding light on the shifting global landscape. #QatarEconomicForum

2/ "Once upon a time, we bathed in the serene waters of benign globalization," the General remarked nostalgically. "Now, the seas have become tempestuous. We find ourselves navigating choppy waves of change." #Geopolitics
3/ Turning to the Eastern horizon, Petraeus noted the friction between China and the West as the most crucial issue of our era. But he dismissed the notion of 'decoupling' as impossible, reminding us of last year’s record-breaking US-China trade volumes. #ChinaWestRelations
My latest: With less than 9 months away until #Taiwan 2024 presidential election, all major political parties have already nominated their candidates and are gearing up for a vibrant political campaign. Feat: @lnachman32, @FangYu_80168 and @sanahashmi1:dw.com/en/taiwan-poli…
While the island's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) wants to retain power, the principal opposition Kuomintang (KMT) is preparing to pull out all the stops to win the presidency.
The DPP, which champions Taiwan's separate identity, has urged voters to choose democracy over authoritarianism.
The party picked its chairman and the incumbent vice president, Lai Ching-te, as the party's candidate for next April.

The assembly in Geneva on Monday decided not to extend an invitation for Taiwan to attend the 21-30 May event as an observer.
Taiwan’s ministry of foreign affairs said its participation in the WHO was a matter of global public health. “Politics should not be allowed to take precedence over professionalism.

In today's #dailysoup, I'll introduce a Beijing-based think-tank, the South China Sea Probing Initiative or SCSPI (@SCS_PI).

Founded in 2019, the SCSPI is currently headed by Hu Bo from Peking University, along with two other so-called "academics" from prestigious Chinese universities.
One of its members is Anna Malindog-Uy, a Filipino vatnik x wumao who once hosted a Pandesal Forum with them.

In SCSPI's "About me" page, the think-tank claims that "it recognises the strategic relevance of the SCS", "it understands the significance of differences through dialogue", and "it is not affiliated with anything".
However, when we dig deeper, it is a different story.

Hilary Clinton said Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine has “set back” #China’s ambitions to invade #Taiwan. ft.com/content/08546c…
Clinton warned that re-electing Donald Trump in 2024 would “spell the end of democracy” in the US and the “end of Ukraine”.
She described Putin as a “complicated, Messianic, narcissistic authoritarian”. The Russian leader had believed that if Trump won the 2020 presidential election he would have pulled the US out of Nato, she added.

C'è solo una #Cina al mondo. Il governo della RPC è l'unico governo legale che rappresenta l'intera Cina. #Taiwan è una parte inalienabile del territorio cinese.
La posizione della Cina sulla partecipazione della regione di Taiwan alle attività delle organizzazioni internazionali, inclusa l'OMS, è coerente e chiara. Deve essere gestito in conformità con il principio di una sola Cina.
Today marks the 7th anniversary of #Taiwan President @iingwen coming into power. In a speech, she said two things are very important for the future: maintaining stability across the Taiwan Strait and maintaining Taiwan's key position in the global supply chain.
She said over the last seven years, she and her team have redefined Taiwan and helped the world to relearn about Taiwan. She said Taiwan is very different now compared to seven years ago.
She said now having autonomy on national defense is no longer a dream and Taiwan has broken through the economic adversities amid the pandemic and US-China competition.
From @TelegraphNews: Mike Gallagher, the chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said Emmanuel Macron’s stance on #China is a “dumpster fire” which risks undermining Western support for #Taiwan. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
He said he was “shocked” by the French president’s approach towards Beijing.
“Macron’s trip and comments were what we describe in the United States as a dumpster fire. I was shocked at some of those comments,” Mr Gallagher told the Telegraph.
