so the u. s. and taiwan already share a longstanding trade and investment relationship. why does this apparently need to be deepened? well, 1st of all, since, hi juan. um, it's something that they have been with him for more than 20 years, although it's called an initiative. now, but i won't leave that ro eventually become a complete f t a and how i believe that it will also help it to pave the way to joy c, p t, p p, which they have a fierce competition with a melon, china, and a for us it's just a part of it, some strategy in the pacific strategy to build new trade orders. um we know that um china is um, trying to gain is in our importance and its influence in this region. so there's not, no doubt that this initiative is aiming at china, which plays an important role in the world's biggest trade of framework r e c p, in which the u. s. united states is now aims to working closely with taiwan is i'm essentially a tool to compete strategically with china. so taiwan hoping for a full fledged to a free trade agreement at the end of these talks here. what specifically is in

have been increasing over the past few years, and u. s. is now almost the 2nd largest trading partner on for taiwan. so being able to trade smoothly is alma important for the 2 parts. and the 2nd important issue is digital trait. a, 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 on the u. s. is trying again, is irma importance and also influence in this region into town is ready to prove that they are in compliance with their rules. now we know that china views taiwan as part of its own territory and bristles at any perceived treatment of taiwan as a sovereign nation state. what does beijing say about these plan talks then? well, china has always been firmly opposed to any form of official contact between the u . s. anti one, including the negotiation of agreements with sovereign connotations or official nature. beijing accuses us about playing tricks over the time when issue the time you want them to stop negotiating and signing agreement wit

so all is not necessarily particularly well also in the relationship between the u. s. and taiwan in dealing with this threat from china you're, there's more of a moment of truth for approaching a richer because that her, her moment of truth arrived there because of man to spur and then super lucy's recent visit. what i, i don't think so. i mean, there are all sorts of different take some nancy pelosi visit and what the chinese exercise that took place after it. mean some people i've been talking to here to say that they do feel that the chinese did show degree of restraint in those exercises. but what they also did was establish what we talked about as a new normal, that china's a fighter jets, for instance, now go further than they did across what's called a median line. at the line sort of in between taiwan and china. on the, in the taiwan strait. but the kind of moment of truth i'm really talking about here is the fact that china says that it wants to re unify as they put it with taiwan. and a great charity of the people of taiwan. say that they simply don't want th

s. tone and rhetoric on taiwan. 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 s

the u. s. does supply weapons to taipei and it's 1979 taiwan relations act. the island is a major economic and technology partner to the u. s. it supplies more than half of the world. semiconductors, china seas, taiwan as a breakaway province, that will eventually be united and hasn't rolled out using force. ah, let's bring in our guests in taipei, vincent chow form a director of the political did division at the time. pay economic and cultural representative office in the u. s, and a former chief of staff to both the taiwan national security council and foreign minister in miami june teufel drayer, professor of political science at the university of miami and editor of the book taiwan in the area of science when changes and challenges and in beijing henry wheel yeah. when founder and president of the center for china and globalization and director of the chinese people's institute of foreign affairs variable and welcome to you all. i'd like to start with you and re clear wang in beijing with your thoughts on nancy pelosi visit. and the reaction that we've se

now he's and while the u. s. is trying to destabilize china's power over taiwan, beijing has said both feet in america's backyard. china's influence in latin america is growing with ecuador, the latest country to announce that we'll sign a free trade agreement. i could do the production, trade and investments minister julio. jose prado announced that the administration of president guillermo le su, seeks to achieve a free trade agreement. with china this year, ecuador jones, or rely, panama colombia, our and pending such agreements while $21.00 latin american countries are also engaged in china's belt and wrote initiative since 2002, china's total trade with the latin american countries of skyrocketed from 18000000000 to nearly 449000000000 in 2021 asian game being has been very much been the west as los as shown in e use. documents revealed by spanish, daily. and last week, earlier i spoke to gregory wolf for a freelance journalist and founder of venezuela analysis dot com, who is convinced that americans domina

has your back the u. s is going to support taiwan, and the u. s. has, by law has to protect, give taiwan the means to protect itself. so, you know, if china does make any moves, this is not just of molding tie. one. this involves the other superpower, which is washington. and where our attentions already are at a really high point between washington and a gene. so there's all kinds of geopolitics around this, vivia they've, the interesting thing is going to be china's reaction to this, of course. and there is a suggestion that and it is not going to be so much china's reaction to the u. s. in terms of a response is actually going to be its reaction to taiwan. is there any indication? oh, how that might manifest itself is the stuff that we could be looking for to see how china is going to respond to this. particularly as far as taiwan is concerned. right, so on, on a much more practical level that affects the daily life period by one china, already in the run up to the landing band, thousands of import the food and agricultural product. the law beat

who china says it's firmly opposed to formal trade talks announced by the u. s. and taiwan. the initiative follows to high level visits to tie paid by members of the us congress. beijing has warned a severe drought in southern china could last well into september. local governments of scrambling to irrigate crops, the head of the autumn harvest. but electricity rationing is making water pumping difficult. well, some industries relying on hydro power have shut down at least for one people have been killed and dozens injured in forest fires. ne and l. g area firefighters and helicopters are trying to contain really 40 blazes, more than 350 people have been forced to leave their homes. well, those are the headlines. the news continues here on al jazeera after the stream, which is up next. which side is winning chaos or control? why? what does the new forever prompt we war mean for america and nato? as long as americans keep consuming, prices are going to keep going up. why didn't joe biden see inflation comic? how did we get so much raw? the quizzical good us politics, the bott

s and taiwan from playing what it called political tricks. the warning coincided with a visit by u. s. congressional delegation to the island. china claims as its own. a chinese research vessel is docked in sri lanka, but several days later after india res security concerns a ship will be at hand bun, toto port for a week. i mean, the us government is said to declare a national day of mourning to remember those who died in an explosion in the busy market. on sunday, 16 people were killed in 18 is still missing, following the blast at a firework storage facility in the out of on. the news continues after inside story stay with us. the world copies coming to catch our in just 3 months. as the main event gets closer, we hear every step of the way. hello, i'm janet ezra with updates from teams and fans across the globe. themes can expect some strong support here in customer with the spotlight now one euro can france claim back to back? well, comp victories. the all wheel portugal christiano. rinaldo finally get his hands on the trophy. the well can't count on al jazeera, a global treaty

and the principal and the u. s. has also gone against the commitment on maintaining non official ties with the taiwan region. it has upgraded its level of contact with taiwan and he has increased sales to taiwan. so on that, many people on the inside have been very clear about this domestically and internationally. and half pointed out the danger of those actions that you want from patrick folk in beijing. one of the things that's been talked about in the u. s. is concerned over whether all china really grasp the concepts of separate branches of government in the u. s. and the foreign ministry here in beijing address not to day spokesperson watching, said that when there is a provocative visit to taiwan by a us politician, it cannot be considered unofficial, especially when that politician is the number 3 u. 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.

s. side and the taiwan independence separatist forces. either let's bring you some pictures right here from the song shot boarding type pay and a regional and military base. and that's a plan, right? the and nancy pelosi on both the plane are rising just about an hour and a half or so ago. the flight tracking website, a flight rate. i said the number of people following her jet reached 700000 records tickets about the service wearing a mask. the us house speaker. softer. stop to start off the plane at around $1050.00 p. m. local time and post the photo with a group of taiwanese officials, a policies become the highest ranking american official to visit the self, rhode island in 25 years. well, it's all about responses. now. china is set to hold a series of military drills around taiwan sang. it'll conduct missile launches from the sea, just east of the island territory in accordance various military sources. they include the use of weapons under coordination between warships and various fighter aircraft as high ones islands. i said to hav

so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use taiwan to get their attention for domestic market. unless these business will add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with it is 11 pm here in moscow. and just off to 4 am in taipei, taiwan, which is where you as how speak a nancy pelosi is currently huddled inside her hyatt hotel. so yeah, alternately, she called that now the chinese foreign ministry in the meantime has summoned the u . s. ambassador in protest over the visit of the us house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan, comes off to china, had already seriously warned a washington of heavy consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the u. s. side and the taiwan independence, separatist forces by these pictures right now from the song sea

so if there is some tension between a china and taiwan, the u. s. on one side will try to make up for maybe a mist exports a to china and then on the other side, taiwan has also become more and more important for the united states, for example, or was receiving em, 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 are actually might look well like between the united states and i, one and on a not unrelated note. so, so on friday, 5 chinese firms confirmed that they got to be de listing from the new york stock exchange, where you are just reminders of the background to that europe over all there is the law group 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 circle. messina, commissioners, threatened actually 2 dealers, some chinese companies of aidan follow are with us sir. transparency rule

and media in taiwan, our reporting, the u. s. house began nancy pelosi will visit the self governing island as part of her asia to a policy is not commented on the possible trip, but their speculation. she could stop over on tuesday night, johnny's government says it would view a visit why pelosi has a provocation and wanted military could take strong counter measures. in response, john abused one as its own territory, whitehouse and racial said there was no need for china to turn the situation into a crisis. or let's bring in the w correspondence accurately in taipei, mary suddenly a lot riding on the 2nd re how sure are we that nancy pelosi will be coming to taught by were according to civil associate from taiwan and his government as worth local media. nancy pelosi may arrive in taiwan in few hours. the arrival time is likely to be $1020.00 p. m local time and is expected to meet taiwan president. how you weren't? well this morning, a report shows that server chinese war plains flew close to the median, lie dividing the tower

it's the sequencing of the speaker of the house going to taiwan and the fact that the u. s. is felt comfort enough within a month to send these to 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 reunify 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 trans, at the taiwan straits and then they're off into the future g t. so there's nothing the chinese can do in relation to those 2 cruises in particular. but what we've seen in the years in recent past is that the, the chinese have signify signals that displeasure, us activities of all kinds warships and spite plays everything else by sending their own chinese across the taiwan stereo identification zone. so that's a very high possibility. i think is another overflights of been almost a chinese plains of the time. one that's an important distinction to

s. in such a way at brits, both china and taiwan in a very awkward position and not to say the u. s. also. and especially this comes at the time when tensor tensions are so high between all 3. so, you know, this was high one in the middle of what could be us, china tensions in a not, but you know, in its own then someone's own south. what's it in a very awkward position where china, where it doesn't have the military might to stand up against china. you know, she had mentioned ukraine and russia and all of that. and so once been watching that so carefully, you know, for so long, nobody expected russia to invade ukraine. you know, those that been building up militarily on the sides. so china's actions again suddenly take on a lot more meaning at this point, when we're seeing that conflict happening along with china's growing might okay, are difficult. harlan the in sonata editor of taiwan plus in type a thank you for that. we've just been seeing these pictures of for years. how speaker nancy pelosi landing in taiwan and being met by a delegation there. she said, our visit is part o

if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan, that would be a big blow to the u. s. and a victory for she ting being. but he and biden have a lot to lose you. they know, full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their countries. one to richard does this mean that the u. s. and the west would risk going to war over taiwan is using to pick up if we just pick up a little bit on what joe biden, we saw him say in the, in the report there where he said, yes, that is our commitment to help taiwan militarily if you, if the chinese were to invade, well actually that is not the u. s. commitment, and this has been one of the things that i think it has contributed to a sense of uncertainty over the over where things are going around taiwan. in the last few months is the biden has made on a couple of occasions, these kind of statements, where he seemed to undermine the position of the united states, which has been going since the very end of the 1970 s. when, when the u. s, and the people's republic of china 1st 1st took up relations with each other. the notion tha

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. and a victory for she jan. pam. yeah. 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 meet on. 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 for coded,

what is happening is this the closest the u. s. and china have come to real warfare over taiwan? well, i wouldn't say this is a point close to a warfare, because if you are aware that china has this anti secession law, which gives the government the constitutional rights to take military action in case the red lines get crossed and the red lines have been laid out quite clearly that if all measures for a piece for negotiate for a piece for re unification has been exhausted. number one, number 2, if taiwan becomes a defacto independent, illiterate, and number 3 is if things for, if the movement for independent, for independence in taiwan gets uncontrollable already, then chinese government will have the constitutional right to take military actions . because it is not in the interest of anybody in china and for people on both sides of the straits to fight against each other. why should we chinese fight against chinese? and it's quite clear who is playing via the top. one issue has been left over from china, single wall, right after the 2nd war. so it's, it's an issue that has to b

then let's as wait and see how senior u. s. and taiwanese officials are indicating that nancy pelosi might make the trip even as china issues a clear warning, not to travel to taiwan. tensions between us and china over the island have been building for some time with each side, blaming the other for the escalation. he did. you don't play with fire all that was chinese president, she's in pings message to his u. s. counterpart, joe biden. in the most recent talks, china claims the u. s. is dangerously close to crossing a line on taiwan with its messages of support for the islands. independence in may . biden broke with years of u. s. policy by promising military support. if china tried to invade are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that? yes, you are. as a commitment, we made the u. s. as china is the one disrupting the status quo. over the past year, she jan ping has provoked taiwan with incursions into its air space and calls for an end to taiwanese self rule. fool, i'm sure the historica

it says that the u. s. l. a gauge and visit to taiwan violates china sovereignty. how do you think this could affect overall relations between china in the us, in the future? well, time i show you some, most of the sensitive and crucial issues in china and the united states. americans . 3 come because of the medical release and we sat people to go to china, icon knowledge of the one china, principal, beijing, the only seal government to present the whole china and taiwan is a part of china, the u. s. only if he's then so be an official relations with taiwan about the congress delegation petosi. i can be a while until there are principles. and most importantly, 1971. the un resolution of a 27558. that also represent a very clearly not the headlines part of china. so the u. s. it's not a while to hold up by lateral community, but also international principles under the u. n. framework. so do you think that these new military journals by china could finally force the us to stay away from tie one i tell you this is to show that china has the capacity to defend the inte
