towns president ward of catastrophic consequences for the white a region if the island was to fall to china. and taiwan is one of the issues in a deepening strategic rivalry between beijing and washington. u. s. president's national security advisors due to hold talks with china's top diplomat in switzerland on wednesday, joe biden says he's addressed the issue with his counterpart. she didn't pain i spoke to. we see about how we agree we will buy it. i want agreement that we are, and we made it clear that i don't think we should be doing any other than by the group ra mcbride's in hong kong with more on the reaction from ty, one. the defense minister went on to say that the fact the relations now the tensions with china or are the worst they have been. he says, for a 40 years, i think taiwan has been genuinely rattled by the scale of this incursion. china, as we know for many months now, has been sending air craft towards the island into the air defense identification

zone. that's the air space running up to the island of taiwan. but it is the scale, the number of aircraft in the last 4 days that says worried taiwan, it, in recent years, taiwan has been looking at the military build up in a china with some alarm. it was always the case that taiwan, thanks in large part to the supplies of f sixteens and so on from the united states . it had a military superiority when it came to the technological capabilities of its weaponry. that is still the case to some extent, but a china is quickly closing the gap and is there also is a recognition in taiwan or of china is increasing economic strength. that is now the jug a lot of asia and is using that economic power to further isolate taiwan. so a taiwan is feeling increasingly under pressure. china is happy to exert that pressure, especially with the currency incumbents of the presidency. they're saying when in
