.@AdmTonyRadakin_: We have to be cautious with the #Ukraineconflict since it is still going on. Strategic errors lead to strategic consequences. It will have implications for the world and #Russia.

#Raisina2022

.@AdmTonyRadakin_: The world has shown that ‘rules matter,’ given the way it has reacted. The world is more powerful than individual nations.

#Raisina2022

.@AdmTonyRadakin_: #Russia has lost the #Ukraine population, this is the impact of its aggression.

We have to be careful about drawing conclusions about #China with respect to this conflict. We declare #Russia as a threat, but China is a challenge.

#Raisina2022

Andrew Shearer: #China’s objective is clear, it wants to be a leading power. On the way to achieving that global dominance, it is creating a base in #Asia.

#Raisina2022

Andrew Shearer: #China is using all instruments of power: Private companies and diplomats to establish its sway in #Asia.

China signing a pact with the Solomon Islands is not an intelligence failure. It is a continuing phenomenon.

#Raisina2022

Andrew Shearer: #China’s growing influence in the Solomon Islands can lead to greater instability. We cannot accept outside power influencing the decisions of smaller nations.

#Raisina2022

.@bueti: The #EU started dealing with dependencies on #China much before it was pointed out.

In the EU institutions, there is a consensus that there is a rivalry between a rules-based order and a resurgence of big-power politics.

#Raisina2022

.@bueti: We must take #XiJinping at his word with regard to his intentions. We can’t have a policy of appeasement. These are the lessons that we have learnt.

#Raisina2022

.@bueti: The #Ukraine war is a geopolitical awakening for #Germany.

#Raisina2022

Gudrun Erika Wacker: #EU’s #IndoPacific strategy is based on values and interests.

#China is weaponising trade and its economy. It has a big toolkit: Sticks and carrot. China is now pulling out more sticks.

#Raisina2022

Maj. Gen. Jung Hae-Il: #SouthKorean government policy is to maintain a balance between #China and the US.
