Global Implications of China's Rise International Meetings Security and Geopolitics War in Ukraine

“ What's important is that you have a large group of countries, not only Western countries, but also developing countries, Etienne Soula, a research analyst at the Alliance for Securing Democracy at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told VOA. The security expert also pointed out that participating in the conference is not "automatically supporting Ukraine or the Western position," "but I think it is very clear that the countries that choose not to participate are certainly sending a signal that is close to the Russian narrative."”

“ 'You could feel the loss of understanding at the end of the Cold War of what our allies were for,” said Heather Conley, director of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Conley is in the midst of a tour of the country, trying to make the case for continued U.S. military aid to Ukraine. And she’s getting an earful. “The American people have some important questions to ask about what’s important about our security, our level of debt,” said Conley. “These are the right questions to ask. But you have to engage them in a conversation.” Conley, who was a senior official in former President George W. Bush's State Department, said she's glad Biden is giving the speech this week. But she said she wishes he had made this case more forcefully and more often. “If it’s important to the country, we have to have an important conversation with our citizens,” said Conley.”

Global Implications of China's Rise Security and Geopolitics

“ Taiwan President Lai Ching-te faced China's largest-scale military exercises in nearly two years during his first week in office, with one analyst telling Newsweek she expects more to follow. "This is the exercise season, so I expect more military drills around Taiwan intended to intimidate and warn the new Lai administration against pursuing independence actions," Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund of the United States, told Newsweek. (...) In a diplomatic coup for China, the Pacific island nation of Nauru announced it was switching official ties from Taipei to Beijing, becoming the 10th Taiwan ally to do so during Tsai's two terms as president. This left only a dozen countries maintaining official ties with Taipei. "Beijing also may poach one of Taiwan's 12 remaining diplomatic allies, if there is one that is willing to be bought off," Glaser said.”
