and who out cooperating, the americans to the fight against iso class. i'm out of natasha in zimbabwe. a country that is more elephant than it can handle. i've been reporting from wine gateway, animals, and humans. a finding a challenge, living side by side ah, national day celebrations are underway in taiwan as tensions with china continue to escalate. it comes a day after chinese president gigi ping said they'll be a peaceful reunification with the island. the taiwan president has promised to defend her islands democracy. in the past week, nearly a 150 chinese war plains have approached. ty wants air defense saying let's go straight to all corresponding, rob mcbride. he's been following developments for us from hong kong. it's been a lot of focused on what ty, once president might say, today,

given the tensions between china and taiwan, what are we expecting? that's right. well there's does come against this backdrop of increasing tensions. in fact, we heard just this week from ty, ones defense minister, that tensions are the worst they have been. he says for 40 years, especially given that incursion last weekend, bye up to a 150 warplanes dispatched towards ty one. i think that certainly rattled that the island, but this is their response to all of that saber rattling i from across the taiwan straits. we've had this event has been taking place in bright sunshine in front of the presidential palace in taipei for the past hour. we've there seen marching troops, gymnastics, demonstrations, martial arts, and so on. later on we will be getting a military parade. so be interesting to see what hardware a tie one will be showing off, but this is ty, one's response, a chance to send a message to mainland china and also it is the international community that we are

a vibrant chinese democracy. we are pro western, as thanks to our alliance with the united states. we have a very sophisticated military, a doesn't quite have the same kind of technological edge that it used to have over chinese meant the chinese military. the people's liberation army has been as certainly closing the gap, but it is still a military force to be reckoned way than of course, it is a hugely important economy and a taiwan that can rightly say, well, we did all this by ourselves. we didn't need re unification. thank you very much. if anything, it might have held us back. how closely will people in taiwan be paying attention to this national day will carry more weight for the taiwanese than usual? i think so, especially yes, given the increasing tensions that we've had, we've just had the national day in mainland china that was on october the 1st and it comes right after these were the renewed coals from sheet and painful re

unification. promising that it would be a peaceful process, but in the background, of course is, is this implied threat from mainland china, that it will not tolerate this island of taiwan. that it regards as a renegade breakaway province, ever seeking formal independence. that is a red line, a for the chinese leadership that said they have threatened in the past to take military action to stop them from breaking away the they want to absorb taiwan back into china as part of this whole process of territories. returning to the motherland, we've seen that with macau macau and hong kong. and now in theory, it is the turn of taiwan. but there is very little appetite at the moment in taiwan full, a return to mainland china. they see reunification is a real threat to the freedoms, the democracy that they have established over decades. they have looked with alarm at what has taken place here in hong kong under this so called one country to

systems, a process by which taiwan maybe it would be reunited at some point. and certainly the countries president saying when and her democratic progressive party, they have shown very little interest in forging closer relations, a with mainland china. they are quite happy to follow the that the path that they have. and by this demonstration today, they can quite rightly show 2 mainland china into the world we've done pretty well . thank you very much. okay, for now, rob. thank you. rob mcbride there for us following developments from hong kong. we are expecting to hear from president sighing when, who is due to give a speech in the next half an hour, so we will take that live in the air for now. let's go live to washington dc and speak to scott w harold. he's a senior political scientist at b rand corporation. many thanks for joining us. historically, relations between china and taiwan happened strange given their history, but china has been escalating tensions in recent days. why do you think that is?

i think it's important to recognize the child believes that it's time to push it. now you may see a closing window as it recognizes that the world has begun to see china for what it is a country that under she didn't. pain has been established a permanent dictator. sure. one man has built a capacity to conduct genocide and she just has broken its word to the people of hong kong and great britain is destroying taiwan, destroying hong kong freedoms of the promises that were made and is threatening all of its neighbors. we're taiwan. i think it's also cognizant of the fact that the united states, japan, and many other countries have spoken out about the importance of peace and stability in the taiwan strait. and those are the under hurting premises upon which us relations and other companies. relationships with china were established and so china is booking to push the boundaries, looking to engage in psychological intimidation of taiwan society and populace and

trying to shape the future of the island are political warfare directed against i want people and the world to try to establish a new normal under which china can push, i want as far as it was, right? so it's playing to a number of audiences. what about within tie one, how much fear or concern is there about china's actions? i mean, as we had for my course on a corresponding, there must be closely watching what is happening in hong kong and worrying that could happen to them. oh, certainly i think you're absolutely right. and like hong kong was the example that helped shift the entire electoral outcome of i was last election. president side was actually trailing for arrival for the presidency until she gave a very, very heart harsh speech threatening taiwan that allowed her to push back and stand up for taiwan democracy. and over the following portion of the year,

she repeatedly stood up to she. jan. hang on his bullying and, and pointed to what was happening in hong kong and as a result, president site is now a teacher president, she's very successfully use the front of mainland china. the threat of she didn't pay the p o a to wake people and i want up to the fact that they are facing and to mobilize the population around a taiwan consensus that time wants democracy is we're uniting for it is we're struggling to project. why does the chinese communist party still seem to cast so much about taiwan? will cost you don't for chinese commerce, chinese commerce party. this is a part of the narrative of history that they have to taiwan is the last portion of last territories. it corresponded in hong kong. no, no. no, of course also has enormous wealth and enormous geostrategic locations sitting between japan and the philippines. exposed directly to the western pacific. taiwan

has both historical residents for the, for the chinese communist party and geostrategic value. because i think she just been working by justification for why he is allowed to stay on for the 3rd term, perhaps in perpetuity and looking to continually mobilize domestic chinese sentiment to regard the outside world of track. so as to justify the see, see, please hold on our really needs to keep the nation are spun out on the notion that taiwan is worth sacrificing their freedom and their development for so the taiwan unification of the mainland to be accomplished during his time in office go there. interesting to get your thoughts. scott w. harold senior political scientist, the rand corporation. thank you. libby is treatment of migrant. san asylum seekers has come under intense scrutiny in the past 24 hours on friday. gone shots and kill 6 people at
