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.
“It would have literally been a cake walk for him, and so when Trump didn’t win, he figured he had to go forward.”

This turned out to be “absolutely the wrong calculation”, she added.
Clinton said she believed Xi was re-evaluating his approach to Taiwan in light of Putin’s failure to swiftly take over Ukraine.

She said she had previously assumed that Xi would “make his move against Taiwan” within three or four years of consolidating his power in China.
But she added: “I think Ukraine has really set that back. I mean, what has happened in Ukraine has had a significant impact, in my view, on the Chinese leadership.”

US semiconductor giant Micron has failed a national security review, #China's cybersecurity watchdog said on Sunday (May 21), telling operators of "critical information infrastructure" to stop buying its products. channelnewsasia.com/asia/china-say…
It marked the latest escalation in the bitter chip war between the United States and China, with Washington looking to cut off Beijing's access to cutting-edge semiconductors.
Micron's products "have relatively serious potential network security issues, which pose a major security risk to China's critical information infrastructure supply chain and affect China's national security", the cybersecurity administration (CAC) said in a statement.

My latest from #G7HiroshimaSummit: Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy took center stage on the last day of the G7 summit in Japan as leaders committed to unified approach to tackling Russia and #China. dw.com/en/g7-ukraine-…
Although Ukraine isn't one of the G7 member states, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stole much of the limelight on the final day of the three-day summit held in the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
During a speech at the Hiroshima Memorial Park, Zelenskyy, wearing a black shirt rather than the sleek suit of other world leaders present here, reiterated how important…

When asked about whether he is disappointed that he didn’t meet Brazilian President Lula, Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa said Lula should be disappointed. Image
He said the ruined image of Hiroshima reminded him of #Bakhmut. He said the symbolism is that Hiroshima today is alive and he said there will be reconstruction for Ukraine to return to a similar state like how Hiroshima is now.
He talked about the images he saw in the museum and he said they are similar to what Russia had done to Ukraine.

"This year in #China there have already been at least 130 factory strikes, more than triple the number in the whole of 2022, according to data compiled by @chinalabour." theguardian.com/world/2023/may…
"The CLB’s database is far from comprehensive – by its own estimate, it captures about 5%-10% of all incidents of collective action in China.
But in the absence of any official statistics, the CLB provides a snapshot of the disputes and negotiations that are happening across the country."

UK Prime Minister @RishiSunak said #China poses the biggest challenge to global security and prosperity of our age with the “means and intent to reshape the world order." theguardian.com/world/2023/may…
The UK prime minister said G7 leaders including Japan, the US, Canada and European nations had shown “unity and resolve” in confronting the problems posed by Beijing.
However, Sunak went further than the summit statement in outlining the threat that China poses to the world, appearing to rank it even higher than Russia as a global security threat.

The leaders of the Quad group – Australia, India, Japan and the United States – have delivered a thinly veiled swipe at #Beijing’s behaviour at a summit in Hiroshima. aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/20…
US President Joe Biden and his three partners in the group did not mention China by name on Saturday but the superpower was clearly the target of language in a joint statement calling for “peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific maritime domain”.
“We strongly oppose destabilising or unilateral actions that seek to change the status quo by force or coercion,” the statement said.
