so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. don't only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit. that's all i know lucy's visit will add tensions across the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life. but if this is being seen as a united front completely in the market, us just not true, is it because you've got a top us officials, military figures, according to joe biden, at least saying that policy stopping in taipei is just not the right time. so how does the house speak or what she, what is her supporter said to justify it? it was interesting that we just got that statement from her and which she's kind of really giving a blanket response to all of these legitimate concerns that are being raised here. and this is a different town in order, notably than what we've heard from her in the past. but it's also notable, we're still waiting from for a statement from the, by the administration to see what they

and people in taiwan are getting anxious about a potential trip, saying that the u. s. just wants to spread its power under with the use taiwan, they use that political major to the benefit of. so only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit that's all with wherever you're catching the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow on tuesdays global news. rhonda, i'm unit oneal. only one place to start today. tensions are mounting. ron taiwan, the head of a potential, they sit by the u. s. high speaker. china is ratcheting up military activity. nancy pelosi proposed to land in taipei on tuesday night, despite warnings from beijing. the u. s. c's, no issue with the potential touched on. but china has labeled to move a breach of its sovereignty when they say so if we would like to warn the u. s. side, once again, that the chinese side is ready. the chinese people's liberation army will never sit idly by and china will certainly take a resolute response and effective countermeasures to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. and so if the speaker d

s. tone and rhetoric on taiwan. the, the policy for a long time from the u. s. has been one of strategic ambiguity, so it has official diplomatic ties to china, but also unofficial ties to taiwan, supporting democracy there and president bite and just in may said openly that the u. s. would defend taiwan if china attacked the white house try to walk back those statements. but the point they're pablo is that it could be said that this trip by nancy pelosi is not entirely out of line with what we've seen from the white house and from president biden himself. so me briefly, if you could, and you touched on it a little bit earlier, how much worse could relations actually gap between china and the us? well, the relationship certainly isn't in the best state at the moment. remember some of the pulls on this relationship, the biden ministration announcing that diplomatic boy caught the beijing olympics. they've sparred over everything from economics to technology and security. so the relationship already isn't pretty frosty territory. it could get worse. pablo if we se

but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to u. s. strategy to check china's power in the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes and global trade. and the majority of the world's advanced semiconductors, used in everything from smartphones to cars. joke are made on the island, tries to relocate production line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan . that would be a big blow to the u. s. and a victory for she didn't pass to y'all. he sees him, but he was, and biden unhappy both have a lot to lose. should they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country swan could eat them. okay, can i ask you, what's the status of the taiwan? i mean, could there actually be any benefit from this kind of visit? so there is not any obvious benefit for under the current situation, china has standards, it's military and economic pressure, anti one. there's worry that sooner or later taiwan would fall like hong kong or ukraine and it, we, if we friends of this question, the oth

s. investment and hopes to join international trade blocks. the u. s. is meanwhile eager to show common cause with the islands due to its concerns over near by china, which considers taiwan its territory. a recent visit by us house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan, drew sharp criticism from bay jing the island is the u. s. as 8 largest trading partner and a key manufacturer of semiconductors, among other technologies. here's our taipei correspondence, those on han with more. well, there are 11 topics covered um, in document that we've seen, but most of the focus are in this conventional us trade talks. so i will highlight 2 parts here. the 1st one is the trade facilitation, because time was direct exports to eat to the u. s. have been increasing over the past few years, and u. s. is now almost the 2nd largest trading partner for taiwan. so being able to trade smoothly as an important for the 2 parts. and the 2nd important issue is digital trait. and we know the u. s. want to butte, a new digital trade order in this region and town has always want to be p

and for expressing the u. s. is consistent policy supporting tie one's self defense says all basil t. she's out of benson that the woman they will, she eat and ship it should that she that hoboken with a shuffle for 2 or 3 she that she said the order of propitious clouds with special grand cordon, represents our gratitude to speaker pelosi. and it also expresses our wish to continue progressing taiwan. he was relations for more co operation. i hope i think i should go at the light. he wow, i wasn't handling what he shuffled. so each against the ici. now mean for the bama can gather thanielle or men each and leave it to close. thank you. all again for coming. taiwan and the united states shall continue with our mutual support and be steadfast partners to one another in our joint efforts to make them oversee shine. again, thank you. seems oh wait. oh, adam president, please be seated. seen pay lucy, john should see. speaker pelosi will now deliver her remarks. thank you, ma'am president. it is such a high honor to

now the u. s. and taiwan have announced plans to hold formal trade talks to move photos to higher level visits to type pay by members of the us. congress meetings angered beijing, which claims taiwan is its own. china says it firmly opposes the trade talks and accuses washington, the violating. it's one china policy. patrick fog has more from beijing will consider the timing of this development coming rights after what beijing really viewed and being highly voc, revisit by us politicians decide one, you might argue that the response from the foreign ministry today was actually relatively measured, spoke one, when been said china was opposed to any country, having official deals with taiwan and also called on the us to stop all engage with the island. you also want washington against what he called quote miss judgment. that more or less that code, what we have in the comments my ministry as well. which said that it was against any deal of this kind with taiwan, of assault, britain or official nature

but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to u. s. strategy to check china's power and the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes and global trade. and the majority of the world's advanced semiconductors used in everything from smartphones to cars just are made on the island, tries to relocate production line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan . that would be a big blow to the u. s. in a victory for she didn't pass through y'all easy to him, but he was, and biden unhappy both have a lot to lose your teeth. they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country swan could eat them. can you give us an idea at what exactly is at stake here and, and could there even be any kind of benefit from this kind of visit by nancy pelosi? no, there is not any obvious benefit. but under the current situation, china has standard is military economic pressure on taiwan for this puzzle, a private trip earlier today, chinese military aircraft flew close to the straits central

so if there was some tension between a china and taiwan, the u. s. on one side will try to make up for maybe a mist exports or to china. and then on the other side, taiwan has also become more and more important for the united states, for example, or with receiving m semiconductors from that area. i mean, at this point we are still a bit shy and detailed so we will get of the details. so more precisely, in the next couple of days, how this new trade a deal or actually might look like between the united states in taiwan and on and not unrelated notes our so on friday, 5 chinese firms confirm that they're going to be de listing from the new york stock exchange, where you are just reminders of the background, sort of that no up over all. there is a lot rule brewing between the 2 biggest economy is on the planet between the united states and china and already for quite some time the united states. so security and exchange commissioner commission has threatened actually to deal with some fine. is companies of dawn follow are with us sir. transparency rule

have been increasing over the past few years, and u. s. is now almost the 2nd largest trading partner for taiwan. so being able to trade smoothly as an important for the 2 parts. and the 2nd important issue is digital trait. and we know the u. s. want to boot a new digital trade order in this region and town has always want to be part of it . and just as i mentioned that the u. s. is trying, again, is irma importance and also influence in this region and how, when it's ready to prove that they are in compliance with their rules. all right, so john hon into pay their let's go to yes. quarter in new york in taiwan is already an important trade partner for the u. s. who stands again from better trade terms. well, i mean, in general, taiwan would love to see a free trade agreement that really on the table remains to be seen. but we're talking a lot about technology, but also taiwan is a big importer of us. agricultural goods. the saw be wheat, corn, beef just to name a few of those are dozens of billions of dollars each year. and then on the o

s. in taiwan. the consequences of further provocation. chinese analysts quoted in state media also said that the fact that china did not intercept nancy pelosi, his flight was not a sign of failure. but instead this is being used as an opportunity to progress the goal of reunification or pelosi is now in south korea. and she said to meet with speak at that country's national assembly and chang is tracking the story for us from bangkok. tony, after all, as the can try to see the last few days play see is now missing more traditional formal. you have allies indeed, and i think the fact that she's not getting the kind of attention she's had in the last 24 hours will be a relief to her. and to the extent to her south korean hosts today, she's as you said, you to meet the speaker of the house and they will release a joint statement we understand later on they probably touching on human rights issues looking across the border into the d. p. k. it was thought she wasn't going to have any communication wit

u. s. manage, i'm jim reports. for us. how speaker nancy pelosi, a high profile trip to taiwan, fraught with both complications and contradictions. america's 3rd most powerful politician, repeating washington's commitment to protect democracy on the self governed island, while also respecting beijing so called one china policy. today the world's face is the choice between democracy and autocracy. americans determination to preserve democracy. here in taiwan and around the world remains iron clad. taiwanese president citing when who gave pelosi, one of the highest civilian honors, promised to defend the island from beijing's threats. since hello, aggression against democratic taiwan would have a tremendous impact on the security of the entire in the pacific. the man facing deliberately heightened to military threats. ta one will not back down. we will firmly up, hold on nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. china, which considers taiwan a part of its terr

but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to u. s. strategy to check china's power and the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes and global trade. and the majority of the world's advanced semiconductors, used in everything from smartphones to cars. joke are made on the island, tries to relocate production line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan . that would be a big blow to the u. s. in a victory for she, jenna pang y'all. he did, but he was, and biden untie both have a lot to lose city. they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country swan could beat them. go be thought. let's take a closer look at this with professor elizabeth fry. and laura, she's a president of a large consulting and offer of politics and society in contemporary china. she joins us from middlebury and the last 8 of them on to welcome to d. w. professor, why do you think nancy pelosi is doing this? well, she had planned a trip to asia back in april, but then she had tested positive

so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. don't only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit. that's all i philosophies visit will add tensions across the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life far from a united, from, from top us officials and military figures up i said hello seato making us stop in taipei, rachel. so how, how is the house speaker her supporters justifying it? yeah, you know, when it comes to policies, decision to even embark on this entire visit visit to asia. she really hasn't given much of a clear justification. initially we heard from president biden and saying that the u. s. military did not support this trip, that it did not recommend it. and that it was concerned about how it would serve to increase tensions with beijing, which is exactly what we've seen play out. but at the same time, secretary of state blank and had a very telling message when he said that not only did he

s. government, when china and the u. s. established diplomatic relations. both countries have signed a series of agreements and commitments and made public communication confirming that the u. s. is now going to maintain an official relationship with the regime in taiwan. it's going to be on the for show. and yes, there is a u. s. commitment to tie was defense and they're going to keep selling on the weapons to tie one. but the u. s. committed that the level of modernity of the weapons. those are going to be on the decrease instead of on the increase. but what they are doing is quite the opposite. so this is something that it's not very encouraging. on that note. now some long vice chairman of the shanghai center for the rim of the pacific exercise and international studies. many thanks for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. it can make cooperation between turkey and russia has strengthened in recent months, much to west and officials dismay at the time when the european community is scaling down its ties with russia in response to its aggression again

s. government one china policy and also said that this visit proved once again that the u. s. did not want to promote peace and stability in the taiwan straits. and that it was making every effort to stir up confrontation between the 2 sides, the global times called it a sneaky visit, suggesting possibly that beijing really had no idea that this was taking place and had also want of counter measures. quoting analysts, the state run out leds said that the 5 member delegation would be sanctioned. they are expected to be meet with tom and his leaders. and they expect to be discussing things including u. s. taiwan relations, regional security, as well as trade and investment among other things. and that is expected to include a meeting with president saying one as well. china hasn't talked about any military response, but the military activities or drills, have toned down and recent days will though they haven't ceased altogether. i want to fence ministry said on sunday that 11 chinese aircraft had crossed over into its air defense zone. the president of ecuador, hans declared a s

doesn't want to replace the u. s. at the dominant power in the region, and when it's blue started with russia helping to do so. and lastly, india with the biggest democracy in the world, take a stand against authoritarianism as the west hopes or does denny's neutrality suggest. it will follow a very different route. ah, i'm british manager, welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us 6 months since the start of the ukraine bore. and the parallels with taiwan remain in focus. large authoritarian powers with global emissions, claiming sovereign rights over a smaller democratic neighbour. the kremlin has steadfastly dismissed ukraine's right exist as a nation, insisting that it historically belongs to russia. likewise, china sees the island of taiwan as an indivisible part of the homeland and as promised, a military response. should it ever declare independence. taiwan fears that it could be next to suffer. an invasion are clearly not unjustified. but 6 months after russia cross the border into ukraine, east

one off the international with all eyes on taiwan. the u. s. the house because nancy pelosi does find leave touch down there with the visit triggering increased tension between of course china and the united states. mathematically, we pay close attention to lawsuits itinerary if the u. s. and system going its own way, china will take firm and great measures to safeguard chinese sovereignty. security and interesting. now in response to the visit to china are set to hold enormous military drills around a taiwan in the coming days, especially to actually conduct missile launches off the sea.

and the u. s. does not to this day recognize ty, one as a separate country for a number of years that recognize it as the representative of all of china. the tie, one constitution still includes delegates from mongolia and from tibet, for example. it pretended to represent old china. so, but the illusion is being put out there, but this is some sort of independent country and they're going to assure its independence from sean. this is a very, very dangerous scenario. i was just looking through some of the american press earlier. tim, i don't want to stress this is mainly from democratic leaning press. some of the issues brought up was pelosi in the spotlight over her husband's financial dealings . the by the ministrations ratings are falling. americans are increasingly unhappy with the economic situation. there is it beyond the realm of possibility? is it cynical the see this as a stun? designed to divert attention from those massive domestic problems in your eyes. it's certainly a stunt. it's a pr

s. government official and especially when she is traveling to taiwan on a military aircraft watching, also addressed the issue of precedence, referring to for my house speaker newt gingrich is, is that i 1997. say that just because it has happened before, doesn't mean the you, i should be repeating that mistake. so that was the clear rejection of the point that was made by whitehouse. national security advisor john car be saying that this is part of long standing u. s. policy and that there was no reason to escalate any sort of crisis because of this. she was also off today whether not the lines of communication were being kept open between beijing and washington. and she said that china had repeated to washington many, many times, that it was opposed to this visit and said that since she hoped it was clear, washington about the severity of this visit and how dangerous it might be. and in taiwan, officials say they will warmly welcome any foreign visitors why you need to go made she do make all we did notice several speculative news reports about whether the speaker of the us house o

now the u. s. as acting treacherously on the taiwan issue and taiwan itself was also affected by apollo, sees trip as china, the islands, biggest trading partner, has bound imports for more than 30 taiwanese companies. earlier i took a closer look at the consequences of policies that it china is already taking action as it warned it would fall out from pillows. these whirlwind trip has been swift and brutal to quite rightly. people are asking the question, we have seen the chinese authorities take multiple economic actions against individual chinese companies, an entire sectors of the economy. taiwan has already paid a co field visit and is likely to continue to do so. the coming days of week. what concrete tangible benefits can be promised high one offset. the cost would be a tricky question. slickly deflected because she knew exactly what she'd done. and americans have made a bit of a habit of doing things like this. throwing others under the bus in service of their own goals. and the consequence

the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi has finally landed in taiwan. it was about an hour and 40 minutes ago. and as you, i'm sure you weren't aware of the fact that she's landed despite numerous threats from china, of so called serious consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the u. s. speakers visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side in the taiwan independence, separatist forces that's i'll show you some pictures from the song, sean airport in tai pay, that's a regional and military base. so that's a plane right there. and i'm just arriving a bit earlier at the flight tracking website of flight radar. so the number of people following her jet reach 700000 records figure for that service. they're wearing a face moscow. the us how speak us stepped off the plane at around $1050.00 p. m local time than she posed for some big p r pitches with a group of time when he's officials. fellows, he said have visited the evidence

the pentagon has ordered a u. s. aircraft carrier to remain in the waters near taiwan. it says the u. s. s. ronald reagan and the ships in her strength group will stay in the area bridge to monitor the situation by the u. s. policy. it was for 50 years engagement with china. october now is seen as a big danger from the united states horner view. this is quite a dramatic jane. a sentiment echoed by conservative media in the us. tensions still rising around taiwan, china halting, some ties with the we need to be strong. that's what china understands, it's not words, it's not press releases, it's actual strength and presence in the region. a delicate balancing act for washington, and it's longstanding policy of strategic ambiguity. the practice of being intentionally ambiguous on the status of taiwan, which china seas as a break away province. it's going to continue. we're good there. we're going to rub up against each other. the chinese in us are going to rub up against each other, not just in the military, but in the economic realm. it will be a whole range of issues and

s as a spoiler of peace. instability and the taiwan strait made. hey, your marquis, she boggled on file gentle joshua. these delegation led by us senator martin has insisted on visiting a tie one region of china in disregard of china's opposition. this blatantly violates the one china principal. it violates china's sovereignty and territorial integrity. and since erroneous signals could tie one independent separatist forces, as well as patrick fuck has more now from beijing or the chinese oems in washington said that congressional leaders should act in consistence with the u. s. government one china policy and also said that this visit proved once again that the u. s. did not want to promote peace and stability in the taiwan straits. and that it was making every effort to stir up confrontation between the 2 sides, the global times called it a sneaky visit, suggesting possibly that beijing really had no idea that this was taking place. and it also warns of counter measures. quoting analysts, the state run outlet said that the 5 member delegation wou

and people in taiwan itself, all anxious over the u. s. health. because trip, members of the public told us the us just wants to spread its power and influence not help them. the lucy touch, china's bottom line, she touch the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use, tie one to get our attention for domestic market flow. she's to visit, we'll add tensions across the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with it's 6 am in moscow, 11 am in taipei and you with ot international with coming to life on the russian capital. i'm point clear, thanks for joining us. china has begun military trolls and areas surrounding tie one. the move comes and response to the visit of us house be can nancy pelosi to taipei, which kicked off earlier with her meeting high ranking taiwanese officials, including the deputy legislature, speaker and president. he has some of the latest footage shade by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes passed through ty, once a defense identification zone, and accordin

and the fact that the u. s. is felt confident enough within a month to send these 2 guided missile cruises through the taiwan straits. it is extraordinary from us perspective, to be able to project this kind of strength in defiance of china's claims to, to want to re in fi taiwan. at some point in the future. well, this is actually quite difficult for china to react to because we're talking about the transit of these 2 u. s. guided missile carriers as them and they, they trans, at the taiwan straits that are off into the future duty. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in particular. but what we've seen in the, the years in recent past is that the, the chinese have signified signals that displeasure us activities of all kinds warships and spite plays everything else. boy ascending there and john is across the taiwan stereo identification zone. so that's a very high possibility, i think is another overflights of an all mulder chinese plains. either taiwan, that's an import distinc

and those issues include military, that of great worry, of course for taiwan. because the u. s. is time wants, main ally. and in addition to that, the united states why law has to help taiwan protect itself. should there be a war scenario? so having those communications broken at a time and these military exercises are taking place, it's of great concern right now for the philippines. foreign minister enrique min arlo has told the u. s. sector state. his region cannot afford an escalation of tensions. antony lincoln is a manila and has met president ferdinand marco's junior. my coast describe the u. s . philippines ties as a special relationship. barnaby lo has more from manila after a rough patch under the administration of president would reger returning the philippines and the united states have reaffirmed and enduring partnership. on saturday, u. s. secretary of state antony blanket, met with the country's newly elected leader ferdinand mark was junior. and i reiterated our ironclad commitment to the u. s. philippines mutual defense treaty and reaffirmed that an armed attack

and you just look close relations between the u as in ty, one as will. zachary are people in taiwan worried about the economic, the trade and military implications for the country? well, people do have concerns about these implications, particularly the economy action made by china. china is tiwana, largest trading partner in china is to be jean is expected to use it. economic and trade might be at cert, pressure on taiwan express. it's our happiness with pillows this trip in taiwan. and this will be of course, a big concern for talent, economy dw, zachary lee in taipei. thank you. well, we can now talk to marcus father from the german liberal party, the f t p. he's a member of the defense committee in the german parliament and head of the german taiwanese association. welcome to d. w. now was u. s. high speaker, nancy pelosi wise to visit i 100. he was indeed, i think it was more than time for a time on time on need support for more and more disease, all those world. now mike was begging, has warned, of very serious consequences that policies visit with trigger we, we've already seen some

so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. so only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit that's all philosophies visit will add tensions across the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life. an ritual. there's been a vagueness, perhaps even the hesitancy has in there from top us officials about policy making us stop in taipei. so how is the host speaker on her supporters justifying it? yeah, you know, it's been interesting to see that even president biden himself has admitted that the u. s. military does not think that this proposed visit is a good idea. and they are incredibly concerned about how it will serve to increase tensions with china. but then at the same time, secretary of state blink and spoke out. and he said that he does not know if hello c is going to visit taiwan. and he referred to it as entirely up to her as her decision. so it's a notable to see the ways in which the white house is

and those issues include military, that's of great worry, of course for taiwan. because the u. s. is time, once main ally, and in addition to that, the united states why law has to help tie one protect itself. should there be a war scenario. so having those communications broken at a time and these military exercises are taking place, it's of great concern right now. the ones nuclear watchdogs, condemned shilling at the zeal parisha plant in ukraine, seeing it shows the risk over nuclear disaster. can even moscow of accused each other of firing on europe's largest nuclear power station and supplied by russia, but still operated by ukrainian employees. it rings nuclear agencies said a nitrogen oxygen unit and a high voltage power line. we're hit. the head of the i a is called an all sides to show the utmost we're string to run. the plant king is leading presidential candidates have been making the final appeals to voters ahead of elections and tuesday, while our own dinner is making his 5th attempt to take the country's top job. rival is deputy president william brutal, widespread

the competition between the u. s. and china . these all matters that will occupy the delegates in the next few days. when florence lee al jazeera and on pen the 1st grain ship to leave a ukrainian port, since russia's invasion has passed the boss for a strike. it said our founder, a deal broken by turkey in the you, when that aims to allow the export of millions of tons of grain and ease the global food crisis. the mays shipments lift the port of odessa on monday, before docking at the mouth of the boss for us on tuesday night. it will now travel on to live and on a country which imported most of its grain from ukraine before the war began. earlier, a team of inspectors boarded the vessel to chick its cargo and documents so named conceal glue reports from istanbul, final inspection for the sierra leon flagship carrying ukrainian grain. it sat into lebanon where there has been foot shortages and high prices for months. russian, ukrainian, turkish, and un officials check the cargo while the ship docked in a stumble. they're part of

s. government and the u. s. permanent bureaucracy or deep state, whatever you want to call it, to engage in further provocations over taiwan. because they think that they've scored this victory because the chinese didn't shoot hello sees plain out of the sky or something because the chinese government is not run by lunatics or the chinese will respond. they will respond in their own time. and as i said, the dangerous thing is now the declining empire. i think it has once on great diplomatic victory by doing this. whereas in fact, we will only see further escalation in the short on the medium term. do you think you think china is in some way? embarrassed by what's happened here? is there any egg on its face? for example g? is it possible that china has over reacted to everything we know? i think they were put in a position where they, they had to raise an objection because this was a continuation of the trump and palm peo, policy of ending essentially the constructive ambiguity that was brought in by the time

now the race for semiconductors is on and the u. s. a wants taiwan in their pocket. it's about staying top dog in the global markets and making sure china doesn't carve out a bigger chunk of global profits. washington seems committed to escalating as much as possible, even if it means the possibility of war between 2 nuclear armed powers. this is a really high price to pay for that. and it's very much not guaranteed in any case that the us will gain ascendancy in the chip market, which taiwan dominates. and we're trying to keep china from, from ascending in military implications, of course, because one of the reasons why the u. s. wants to gain ascendance in the chip market is to maintain its military privacy. this chip policy, this science a chip and science act is, is a military app as well. so it escalates pensions militarily and it puts china in the position of having compete to try to compete with the us militarily. so it doesn't do anything for the relation. politically. this is a very, very unwise move in our special coverage. we continue looking at the change

so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit. that's all play she visit will attention across the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope that the americans will not come around to mess things up so that we can live at peaceful life in all of this. it's also been notable to see how the white house has responded to this. right. you got president biden, who himself has admitted that the u. s. military did not think this trip was a good idea that they were concerned about the ways in which it would increase tensions between the us and china, exactly as we have seen. and then at the same time, you also had secretary of state lincoln who spoke out and said that the decision was entirely up to nancy pelosi herself. and you think about all of the possible ramifications that could come out of this between the world's 2 largest economies. and yet you have the white house sitting there saying it is the speaker of the house who is allowed to make this

and the u. s. again came in as it did with ukraine in 2014 and said, oh yeah, we're going to destroy this relationship and would you get in return? nothing you get some promises from nancy pelosi, you know, take those to the bank. right. i mean, again, trying to make sense of it is very difficult. andy, i'm going to be a little provocative right now. well, at the biden administration is walking away from the one china policy. so china can to, i mean it's kind of a get out of jail free card. okay. you, you don't, you want to adhere to it? why should beijing go ahead? well, this is a very complex, dangerous situation. peter. so the cornerstone of china us relations is taiwan. and the taiwan policy, the one, the one trying to policy the one china principal. so i don't think that china would walk away. the issue here is this. i completely agree that there are parallels between the ukraine situation and the taiwan situation in that the u. s. is looking to use both as the proxy to contain those that it s
