states and china and the united states and the rest of the world. earlier my colleagues always to say, discuss pelosi as a to tie one without correspondence. rachel blevins. hello. she's finally touched down there. you know, even an, even in the face of all of this rhetoric from china pelosi apparently had to make a visit. what are your expectations now that she's here? you know, she released that statement right after she touched down in which she claim that she was there to support were she referred to as taiwan vibrant democracy. she also went as far as to say that she does not believe that she is in violation of the one china policy, which is absolutely not how beijing sees it is not what they have worn again and again, when it came to the lead up to this proposed visit now it was also notable that she talked about democracy there because it makes you wonder how do the people of taiwan see this visit. and what we've heard is from people on the ground there who said they are concerned about the long term impacts of policies, visit that will play

at that time he was a widespread them in the united states. yes, and the, and the result was not happy. the to man just say the lead had to do and at the end of the do vice president by lamented that the word is big enough for me and the mr. how me at that. so less look at the work today and let's look at china us relation. i want to borrow mr. birth remarks that the word is big enough for china and united states. and we don't need to have the tragic incident more than 200 years to repeat herself today will ambassador chin gong, chinese ambassador, united states. i really appreciate your candor and for your joining us today and talking us through these issues. thank you so much. thank you. so what's the bottom line today? we talked about the future of us china relations. my quick bottom line is that the 2 top global powers will always struggle for dominance. bring the ship and rivalry are really baked into this relationship forever. but the cataclysm that would come if the u. s. and china work harder to separate than to cooperate would probabl

but when the united states stepped up to help, there was only really so much that the united states could do. changing these society is changing, the political parameters in these countries is really up to the people within these countries. as i point out, my book faust on those people who rose up ford, demanding rights and democracy. they were up against very, very powerful forces who were determined not to allow them to succeed with very little that the united states could do in order to prevent that from happening. all that being said, ever since president trump came to office, the united states has evinced very, very little official interest in supporting those voices around the region that want to live in work democratic and open countries. president biden spoke very forcefully about american values during his campaign in the early stages of his administration. but it's been mostly rhetorical. the administration has been precious little on the question, even of just basic human rights. if you look at the repression that people are forced to endure around the region and how basically

part of the united states. annex generically means acquired without war. ok. annex generically means acquired without war. would hawaiians agree this is a peaceful transition? no. right. they would certainly view it as hostile and aggressive. so annex is a word that comes from the colonizers point of view, not the colonized people's point of view. i'll explain what's going on july, 1898, to motivate adding hawaii in a second. ok. so hawaii. hawaii went from being a trade colony to a settler colony and that settler colony will become part of the settler's empire. the united states. that's how it worked in hawaii. ok. what's going on in 1898 that makes hawaii part of the united states officially? all right. what's going on there, this is the slide i already showed you. remember the u.s. and sugar slide i showed you? heightened tariffs in the u.s. plunged an island into depression and often caused political unrest. in hawaii, the political unrest was among american plantation owners. sometimes the political unrest

ah, what you was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control per harbor. because of hawaii's location, it's central central in the central pacific. so there's a central location that ships enter. hawaii ports after disarming refurbish, leave coined ports, re arm and go back fighting a metaphor who it was engaged in b, y island by money, by greed. and so he with the lease and we represent all the things that was happening in $189.93. so what we see rising out of the land out of the ocean are these giant monsters that are asked to read with documentation of allocation of documentation that basically saying we're right is what we are. we're the inevitable truth. and their absence was also again that the high saying that from the newspapers that was being never ca, we've developed an unusual a view of the world because of our location. we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada. therefore, we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear co operation with others. we've been able because of our power to impose our will on o

it's coming from the united states. and there were some people who are arguing that good policy, a good policy is actually causing difficulties between russia and china. and when i listen to lincoln, i realize that they are actually making a decision of putting pressure on china. at the same time, i think russia, which is, i don't think it's a video decision, but american officials are also making decisions in the past. and the result is that, i think the chinese realize that if americans succeed in this campaign against russia, china is going to be next. and that's very important. now, on the other hand, there was, the situation with russia were creating more apertures, invoices, there seems to be for the reduction of the iranian nuclear talk there in slow motion again. and while i understand what's in it with the americans, afterall iran is a large oil producer and we already mentioned b, you know, the discontent, that american voters, when they come to the gas station, what i cannot understand is what it is for iran.

you have united states and the soviet union. and then after the end of soviet union, americans thought they're going to have it. uni paula wrote with united the 6 leaving that when this was about people like francis fukuyama talk to but in the history do the debate among the scholars, there's what americans wanted to do was actually achieve. there are some people who believe that americans never could establish really pull out all the people who believed they did it for maybe 15 or 18 years from the fall of the soviet union and 2007 or 2008. and so these are the based on that, but what you know now is that the world is moving towards the most high fuller system. and during this transition, you're going to see more difficulties. so you'd like to see countries trying to find ways of. busy improving the chances of actually being a greater power then the new world order is that should be settled down now. but as i, as, as we move away from this western centers system or as the system continues to disintegrate. do you think there wil

states, a little problems with the united states. now we are enemies precisely because the united states to give it up on the south to change the world by military means make it far more dangerous that it wasn't the beginning. now actually world war 2 is an important one. and again, it shows that russia and the united states can work together, and maybe one day we can get back to that, although i don't think it's going to occur while mr. brewton is the president. but i do think that even in the post cold war era, we have seen number one, the united states and nato go into ball into the balkans and stop ethnic conflict there. there hasn't been any bloodshed in that region since the end of the dissolution of yugoslavia. and the united states has in many respects helped to bring down and fight extremism who led the counter. i so campaign the united states, that's a war that worked at the benefit again, has the united states made mistakes? yes. but hasn't succeeded in largely taking down the islamic state and allocator? yes. has it made

so we want to have a stable carpeted relations with united states because we do believe that china, united states have a massive share responsibilities and common interests. you know, we have our challenges at home. i think that the 1st thing to do, but you have us to manage our own affairs well and a good relationship between china, united states, well serve the interest of our 2 countries. and we also cited meet the desire of the international community for peace, security and for joint efforts to tackle the common challenges the international community is facing and saturday the status co all for china, us relations is very worrisome is going down here. this is because, as i mentioned, that china is being misperceived and calculated. and china us relations now is being driven by fear not by the common interest and by the common responsibilities of all countries. you know, people forget that, you know, the bilateral trade volume annually between the 2 countries have accepted the, you know, $750000000000.00 us dollars. people forget that the before call it, you know, 5000000 mutual visits

and the united states is absolutely essential. that's the kind of bigger strategic shift i would like to see. but i don't see any evidence that that's happening right now. instead, you're seeing just the usual reflective, you know, invoking of all of the familiar tropes of transatlantic solidarity and nato is all important. and the united states has to be the 1st responder in every corner of the world. i don't think that's necessary. i even, i don't think it's feasible any longer. you speak the groups all around the world, and i think one of the interesting questions out there, we talk about the revival of nato. and you know how our all for one and one for all and stronger than ever and focused on, you know, it's like history is come back again. but after january 6, domestic instability, the rise of white supremacist violence in the united states. i'm just wondering how solvent our allies think our commitments bar, how solvent is our promise to be with them and their dark days when they see how internally divided the united states

she is not shown the example of states all great politicians in the united states. she really represents the barcode side serving sides of the u. s. politician. and she does not care about the fundamental interest on the people in taiwan. because people in taiwan to have peace and they want to have eventual reification with charles mainland. this is the mega trends journal, and that is the policy doesn't care. the people on both sides of the taiwan straits . all chinese people and the u. s. government fully acknowledged that there is only one china and how one is part of china and the people's republic of china is the sold exhibits. government represent the polity of the chinese people. mr. guy, i can jump in just a moment here you making some a very interesting commentary. what when you were referred to in nancy pelosi and her husband, i think your phone's allegations of possible inside a traitor. but, but that, that's a story that we don't have time for today. it's a big potential story too. but when you talk about politicians lining their pockets, so to speak. an

and you have been historically clients of the united states. and as you said, as they realize that the us is climbing power, hopefully they develop more independent foreign policy. and if that happens, the united relation is going to is significant. well, let's keep our fingers crossed by that as well as what the rest of the world professor. it's been a pleasure talking to thank you very much for this opportunity. thank you. and thank you for watching hope to hear it again. was the part ah me me oh ah ah, with a suffered because my business and you will clean them. i b. e daily. that was chosen you americans grey, you were euro, you got the really just touching up little ceiling for when you was just touching. sure. ruckel in was names your hospital for the additional student in full, which help wishing that you use her own the with them the proud and you're still know what that was true. i wish you the last year it was, i was sick if history as character as you talk to you later i'm brought in love the study. she was on that list of me which o

if you're going to talk about the us you would say these united states these united states. that sounds so weird to our ears, doesn't it? so when did these united states which she was used? well into the late 19th century. when did that become the united states? how did you get one country out of these various countries that were, you know various states? now it's important to remember apropos of this that and as we talk about the us constitution. that when the car that the united states has had two lives. i realize it's very easy to forget about the first life because it was pretty short. the first life of the united states was from roughly 1776 to roughly 1788 89. period of a decade and more that's when we were a confederation. then the united states change this government had a second life and it became a federation a federal republic and that's a really key distinction because when the country first started the we say the country but actually the states. all felt very different from one another. yes, they spoke the same language sorta kinda depending whether you're a ver

states, a little problems with the united states. now we are enemies precisely because the united states to give it upon itself to change the world by military means and make it far more dangerous that it wasn't the beginning. now actually world war 2 is an important one. and again, it shows that russia and the united states can work together, and maybe one day we can get back to that, although i don't think it's going to occur while mr. brewton is the president. but i do think that even in the post cold war era, we have seen number one, the it states and nato go into ball into the balkans and stop ethnic conflict there . there hasn't been any bloodshed in that region since the end of the dissolution of yugoslavia. and the united states has in many respects, helped to bring down and fight extremism, who led the counter eyesore campaign. the united states. that's a war that worked at the benefit of russia. again, has the united states made mistakes? yes. but has it succeeded in largely taking down the islamic state and al qaeda? yes.

the united states did not seek this war against terror. it came to us. we answered with the same principles and resolve that have shaped us for a generation upon generation. to protect the innocent, defend liberty, we keep the light of freedom burning, a beacon for the rest of the entire world, because this is the great and defining truth of our nation and people. we do not break. we never give in. we never back down. last year on september 11, i paid my respects to ground zero in new york city, at that quite field and in the pentagon. standing in the memorial, seeing the names of those who died forever etched in bronze is a powerful reminder of the sacred promise we made as a nation. we will never forget. it also bears the quotation, no date shall erase you from the memory of time, no day shall erase you from the memory of time. we continue to mourn every innocent life that was stolen in 9/11, in honor of their memories, to the families and lost fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, brothers, sisters, friends and coworkers, on that september day. it

class. working people in the united states. as around the world have no interest in this quality aggressive propagation because shawna is a threat of war that naturally, the big question now is how china will respond to the u. s. anti one for pelosi, visiting the territory. what are your thoughts? watch on as my clear that it doesn't regard. this isn't acceptable developments. we say reports now continues to fall about the military sizes that are unfolding. that might be economic repercussions as well. clearly, what's been raised by the us aggression in china. if we try to right, it's not an exaggeration, it's not hard to write about issue very immediate, very real threat of nuclear, our pals to war. obviously, we that doesn't happen in the schools situation in school, the agency of one class internationally to develop a new entry one with very big concern, the comments we raise patrick o'connor of the world socialist website. thank you for joining us on the program. now i'm at the turmoil china's imposed sanctions against to t

the best i can do is help the united states. they really don't have a military strike option to get to the right. they know what it would have done a long time ago. they had it. so all israel really should do is to support the united states in any way possible to make sure that iran and the risk will come to an agreement in terms of the right to do to program. ok. mom does that. does iran have a plan b if this bill is not revived? but 1st of all, i'd like to say that he runs off position to israel. if i could talk position to apartheid, south africa, you run once. this system, this race is regime to n, like the whole debate that we will, we do have what inside, sorry, buddy. time. so please that the nuclear dale. well, the iranians, if the united states at this point went both the european and the iranian are saying that the ball is in the us court. if americans are not reasonable, you run, it will continue to expand their piece from nuclear program. and also we are closing in on winter, the weather is going to get very cold in

should the united states annex taxes or not? if you think it should you vote for polk polk talks about the re-annexation of texas. he believed or at least purported to believe the taxes had been part of the louisiana purchase. that was an old argument. the americans had the only difficulty was it is was that stephen austin's own maps had showed that it wasn't. but other than these little little problematic things like the fact that it had not there's this sense that maybe some of it was all of it was part of the louisiana purchase. so that's what it means by re-annexation. john quincy adams who? the democrats hated because he had been elected president instead of jackson back in 1824. he's the one who had drawn up that treaty. in 1819 between mexico and the united states so they blamed him for for giving it in other words. so if you want to annex, texas you vote for poke from tennessee known as young hickory. this is a pork. maybe i might be wrong about this, but i think he may be the only president we've ever had with a mullet.

i don't know why the united nations, which act on the command of the united states doesn't that to be with the united states in the previous under the gate, the crisis. oh, well the us continues to hold on that money and say, it's not going to give it back to i've gone to some will. the taliban is still empowered? what the other solutions all the to this crisis will people are on the verge of starvation? well, i don't, yes. well you shouldn't practice speaking unless that is an internship is taken by the corporation. organization companies who are to be damaged by the collapse. i'm going to going to be, but too bad. i believe that the united states will act of any effort to relieve the country tomorrow came professor of history and international relations that the lebanese invest in bay roots many thanks for your time. really appreciate your thoughts on next. thank you and thank you for joining us. here in asi, international, we're back in 30 minutes with the very latest to see them me on november, the 945 just a month after the war ended.

the government of the united states and the people of the united states stand firmly with the government of the republic of china and the people of the republic of china against communist aggression in asia and other parts of the world. as a result of this conference, i am sure that there will be no doubt in the minds of people around the world that our two countries and our two peoples stand together against the common danger which threatens free people around the world, the danger of communist imperial colonialism. >> riding back to the airport, the vice president and his party were hailed by thousands of chinese, young and old, who lined the streets of taipei.

the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy, the heart of which is the doctrine of the universal natural rights is always and directly pertinent to u.s. foreign policy. henry kissinger has argued that americans believes in our principles are universally true. he implies the governments based on other principles are less than legitimate. they are, as it were on permanent probation. our founding document, the declaration of independence, does not mince words. it says governments derive their just powers, they're just powers from the consent of the government. therefore, many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger has also said acutely that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policy as an optional activity. on the other hand, the belief that american principles should be universal, the belief that justice would be served if all nations emulated our nation. this belief sometimes begets another belief. that u.s. foreign policy should have a missionary purpose of spreadi

those two players won't beat the united states and china. instead of ramping up the tensions and ignoring the one principle, we should be opening scientific technical dialogue so we can unite our strengths and deal with this problem. thank you, and think you c-span. guest: he makes an important point about climate change and what an ac -- nancy pelosi's visit meant. it was the right thing to do, it was important to make her that we support our allies in taiwan. but this question about whether we should ally with china or -- when it comes to these global issues is an important one. china is the single largest polluter across the globe. they are not abiding by a lot of what we agreed to abide by. they are building their economy on the backs of powerplants and the like. so the idea that china is a player when it comes to climate change is hard to imagine. one of the biggest concerns we have today as we are moving to a largely electric vehicle economy. at the core of the batteries are these rare earth components and critical minerals like cobalt

the united states was made by philosophy. that philosophy are the heart of which the universal natural vices all directly permitted to u.s. foreign policy. in henry kissinger has argued americans listen the principals are universally true implies that governments based on the principles are less than legitimate and they are as it word on permanent probation. their founding documents the declaration of independence, does not mince words. it says that governments derive in the just hours in the just powers from the consent of the government. therefore many of the world's governments do not have just powers. kissinger has also said that on the one hand, americans frequently seem to regard foreign policy as an optional activity and on the other hand, the breath of the american principles should be universal and believe that justice would be served if all nations into our nation. in this sometimes begets another belief. that the u.s. foreign policy should have a purpose of spreading our universal truths. winston churchill knew bet

the united states has also been critical of tunisia. we strongly support the democratic aspirations of the chinese people and inclusive and transparent reform process is crucial to restore the confidence of the millions of tunisians w h. o. either did not participate in the recent referendum, alar oppose the new constitution. tunisia has experienced an alarming erosion of democratic norms over the past year and reversed many of the 2 nation people's hard one gain since 2011. but again, criticism of tunisia is secondary to a large flow of u. s. arms sales to the government of tenicia from us weapons manufacturers. many in the united states were hoping joe biden could convince saudi arabia to increase the crew production output and drive the price of oil down. now, saudi arabia will be increasing output a little bit, but not enough to drive down the prices for september. now, while the oil may not be flowing as desired, us made weapons certainly are makes you wonder what the priorities of us officials really are. caleb martin, r t new yor

the united states is not only assisting iran and venezuela, but the united states is creating an economic crisis at home. so saudi arabia obviously benefits, and we don't know where this will take saudi arabia. but whatever land we look at this situation, it is the americans and europeans that lose as the digital world faces and acute shortage of semi conducted ships, russia is set to become one of the key suppliers of ne, on a gas used in digital and medical devices that is currently deficit with moscow set to launch new production facilities. as rachel blevins reports, global shortage of semiconductor chips has impacted industries across the board from smartphones to cars to medical devices. at a time when the world is more digital and demand is higher than ever before, however much moscow state technical university is hoping to change that with a facility dedicated to drastically increasing the production of purified me on. we've new new production, we are going to achieve 5 percent of work production may be in the next year. and the bowen, money universe, to allow us to do this. we've

and we want that congress of the united states to be part of that initiative. of course, as the west coast person, we see that pacific as they're, you know, that they're their home, we're part of that as well. so you can see there, she's almost shrugging it off as if it's no big deal. she's just going to say more of the pacific ocean, and yet we look at all of the ramping of the engines that we're seeing between the u. s. and china right now. that makes you wonder if she truly realizes the impact of this visit. that let's take the politicians rhetoric out of the equation for now . rachel, what's the general view in america regarding this whole thing? yeah, there seem to be more questions than answers as to why polos is embarking on a trip like this, right? with everything that's going on in the u. s. right now with the american people who have repeatedly said that they're concerned about skyrocketing gas prices, about inflation. but all of the issues they have going on at home. they're wondering why the speaker of the house is making a trip like this and why sh

taiwan is not a formal ally of the united states. so no, there is no treaty that binds us to defend taiwan. you are correct that the world's number one manufacturer of advanced semiconductor there's is a company located in taiwan. it is extremely important to us for a number of reasons. speaker pelosi, when she was there, met with the leadership of the company. that is not a primary driver, however, of our taiwan policy. china would love to have the technical expertise the company has now, we would like to keep that expertise, those chips, that manufacturing capacity out of china's hands. china is not going to invade taiwan because of its semiconductor manufacturing capacity. more would that be the primary reason we defended it, if we defended it. taiwanese manufacturers, south korean manufacturers are concerned about the chips act, which just passed, which will provide 52 billion to build more manufacturing plants for semiconductors in the united states. but the market is large, they have a lead. they are keeping an eye on it. this
