visa words, the school students take to heart. the usa marshal at school is producing warriors citizens. yeah. oh, you have a was a 12th century chinese general. and these days he's a folk hero. wow. his name is synonymous with loyalty and patriotism. oh, oh. oh oh yeah. oh wow. yes. mm. this fighting spirit is at the core of president cg pins leadership and it was on full display at the 110 of us, 3 of the chinese communist party from one me yet jerry,

she has over and i actually, she hope ya caught more. you one that shape farms. john john jones, i was going to go in. you'll hear thoughts hung her tongue and her hunger. oh, for sure. the old president seenteen is encouraging all citizens to stand up with china's interests at home and abroad. and it's all in pursuit of something called the china dream. so the china to room is about making china as a country, as a state more prosperous, more powerful. so for individuals is not bound to individually becoming well seo, base about taking pride in china. the country, the state becoming more powerful. oh, oh,

i know, i mean, yeah, you're lucky. yeah. go ye la at the usa marshal at school students are taught core subjects, but the china dream is considered equally important to hide the jelly. roger trenton, your fe. i for the juice this year, this year i would really elements her. oh shopping. she'll cover bob le mega in the eyes of the boy jama, someone, i'm glad gonna. oh, here it is. i f, e l vidal wiggly. i was out of danger. goes well? yeah, we'll be averse, said yeah, we'll call it a yoga hell,

maybe on china's to do list. but with talk of conflict over the taiwan. what did the taiwanese think about their identity and future? oh ha. ah. so we're in one of the busier sections of taipei and it's normally not more crowded right if it weren't broke over. ino clue is a form of special forces soldier and now a rising star politician. and he's concerned the taiwanese aren't prepared for what the future could hold to taiwan in elementary school. folks go through a quick training and we understand the do's and don'ts when we faced the fire. but there are certain more had a stroke of them that, that were less prepared for, including a potential military attack. and i think there's a higher risk of that with all the investments that i've been making over the last

decade. this year, china increased military pressure on taiwan and the global concern about the threats of conflict. china's nissan could reach every part of the island in minute . the government has a list of all of the qualified air raid shelter in the city, and they put it on a map. it looks like this. and these are mixed up underground facilities underneath office building shopping malls, the residential complexes. they're mostly parking lot right and complex lose his tie ones, 817000 air raid shelters are expected to accommodate more than 20000000 people. if you look around that, you'll see a parking lot, but there aren't a lot of facilities. a lot of items that you might need an air raid shelter, right? for example, you can feel how hot it is right now. i've been solutions, important power generations, important medical supplies, important supplies. and so if we believe that missile strike on taiwan is

a possibility that we need more facilities that are fitted and equipped with items that could help the general population to shelter in those event. it's one thing to have air raid shelters, even if they are just cop ox. but how serious is the threat of military action? in short, it's quite serious, right? and my view china spend the better part of the last couple of decades in this thing and military, right. one of its core mission is to take tell him by force if the beijing leadership team's and necessary. so i think the only way that taiwan can avoid military conflict is to really be prepared for conflict, right? they always say right, the best way to prevent war is to prepare a fight tie one's defenses are reportedly played by aging military hardware, supply issues and motivation problems. taiwan has mandatory conscription, but it's being reduced from 2 years to just 4 months and is ridiculed as

a summer camp. there is no way of getting around the fact that conscription is unpopular in taiwan. but it's unpopular for one main reason which is for most of us the time we spend in the military is too often spent on tours like, you know, marching and bayonet drills and almost too little or no time on combat training. then no one leaves the military better prepared for a crisis, but we have to change that loose is drawing on his special forces background and some fancy simulations to train up civilians to deal with disaster. so we're holding workshops for full cycle, and we're saying, hey, this is how you escalate the concept. this is how you treat a wound. this is how to recognize when someone is bleeding profusely. and this is how you stop to bleed. it's teaching everyone. how did you b of 1st responders in emergencies, and that takes preparation are parts and it takes us coming together the society to

say, hey, this is going to take all of us, not just are 160000 and strong military. our goal needs to be so that every morning when the beijing leadership wakes up from their china dream, they need to realize, hey, you know, today is not the day to take military action. located off the chinese coast. taiwan is like no way else on earth. only a handful of nations recognized taiwan as a country for most of the world, it status is an ambiguity, but not for china. it claims taiwan as its own, a renegade province to be re unified, warmer yo attending the you, june. 20th and a she won't called another me talk by how harsh things you that kind of fun at all. it's also part of china's ambitions to control the south china sea,

giving it an advantage over the trade routes and resources and the strategic high ground this year. a record number of chinese military planes, heflin close to taiwan, seen by taiwan as the provocation. while the u. s. doesn't recognize taiwan as a country, it does seldom military hardware. you as president joe biden has said, the u. s. will come to ty, one's defense. if it's attacked, ah hm, i want to know what the taiwanese government makes of the growing tensions hello cola. hi, janet colas jo. taco is the presidential spokesperson. what's ty, one's greatest concern today? actually, man, obstacle us today is our standing as an independent country has been undermined by

a china we have been telling people or is he taiwan is an independent country. we are a southern country that has on now military. we have election a president. so try once our z, taiwan independence is a fact. arresting taiwan is the abbreviation of republic of china, taiwan ponies, one to peace. we don't want a war at all, but to sand. wall plans flying over 20 times in one day. it's not peace. it's at destroying a status court misinformation and the fake news had been attacking us for years. this kind of attacks is try to help to create the conflicts between our governments and the people.

ah, these non military threats are cold grey's own tactics. the tie when they say they're designed to disrupt the status quo and wear them down. they include barrages of disinformation, cyber attacks and economic collision. one recent example involves the clash of a coven vaccines. a vaccine shortage during tie. one's biggest cobit outbreak has led to a public outcry for vaccines. i von has for the 1st time, directly accused china of blocking a deal with germany's biotech vaccine developer for covered 90 job at beijing, rejected the accusation. china has offered to sin doses to the island which he considers its territory by typing his express concern about the safety of chinese by refusing vaccines from china. the taiwanese government was accused of putting

politics above health. but when japan and the united states donated vaccines to taiwan, china objected and warned them to stop meddling in its internal affairs. oh, this is just one example of grace own conflict. there are many more right on china's doorstep. only 9 kilometers of china's coast, a tie ones, matsu islands, what else is on? what are all right above your o complaints? i'm here, my friend bout how tom say, gosh, i shall, the pow ye, so mercy that bow he, that's who used to be a frontline when the 2 sides were at war this. so physically close this billboard was once used to taunt china doll fabian. a gotcha. so got that bar tool guide, chin sigh. why explains the message up and up front and the other pam pam. and he doesn't call tan bag. he

n d john. then they'll show hall ja grandma georgia that she remembers when the island was attacked in the late 19 fifties cousin that the scene was so did under the turns on seeing the shoe haul him under the same shoe bowl out of the se one that was a chino the singly jotting in papa ma'am on his own high shy zone from the st who could pound can i tell paul that was up on the moment you sell us or to die i didn't call that's one high ah today there's a different kind of battle going on a fight over what's at the bottom of the sea or the all that he was a gina woman tides have been the hawing a to was uncles on both like down. the fisherman say chinese sand dredges have been

illegally plundering these waters, ruining both the environment and livelihoods, or toes out on since i just think tut by magenta modeled us and i even been d l n. so been dealt loyal gentlemen to re bonded the banner, go to the are those gentle luxury them? since i mailed changing them didn't as a 1000 huddle me this illegal charger has been here since october last year. when lee is a local politician, the sand treasure was illegally mining and, and the water is near my 2, which are considered ponies, restricted water in towns, coast guard dependent. you can see a shard of broken the shallows down, including sand and gravel, and other parts of what used to be marine life. and it,

it's just the fad. say to be it's just affects the people's livelihood on so many levels, from fishing towards them did even affect our local infrastructure as underwater cable between the different islands of not to get destroyed or damaged. ty, ones, coast guard is outnumbered and outsized by the whole. king dredges the judge come in and out and trespass into the restrictive waters and then run away and make line ports extremely difficult for our own coast guard. and the last year in 2020. sometimes you would see a large amount of drudgery around the waters of my to up to 100 or 200 and ego jurors surrounding my to when lea believes to dredges a pot, intimidation, tactics, pot opportunism. of course, we cannot deny there's been economic. china is the largest consumer of sand in the

world, sand and gravel, and they are willing to use the legal means to a pain to say and destroy the environment. but then again, we do not rule out the possibility of this being part of a gray zone strategy or raising taxes with the go of harassment and intimidation. if we just allow this happens and we just allow the destruction of our property and our environment. however, if we respond with military force on the civilian judge or is then it gives china a further pretext to better escalate pensions. the fishermen believe china is playing a big a game account. isaac the, the guy that they're hired and i am continuing to johan, been a little common than so good hygiene, that's a good pylons. have been as a good bodily good. donald hava talbot,

daniel dollar. good. the good up joke holder, dan. joe goler. the good you, good days, are you good? gun one? ha, ha ha. tied them. it's only owe to understand. tie one. it helps to understand its history. austrian asian, indigenous peoples have long codes the island home. the dutch and spanish tried to colonize it, and china's chin dynasty administered it for a little over $200.00 genes, which is why today china claims historical ownership. they lost it to the japanese who ruled it for 50 years until the end of world war 2. it then became part of the republic of china. this was also the time of the chinese civil war. when mao's red army was pushing out china's nationalist rulers, the k. m. t. mout won,

and about 2000000 k m. t soldiers and refugees fled to taiwan. the last remaining part of the republic of china mows communist land became the peoples republic of china. and the world found itself with 2 chinas. at 1st tie, one was seen as the real china. but that changed in the seventy's when the u. s. and the u. n recognized beijing as the official china and taiwan republic of china became what we have to day, a largely unrecognized don state. ah, the taiwanese means different things to different people. bid the divide between those who say taiwan is the republic of china, which is the status quo. and others who say taiwan is just well, taiwan. ah,

don't judea is in the republic of china camp. this is common for families like his who arrived from china after the civil war 70 years ago. it's willoughby, does it with the bill or for doing home health aide? i mean for life high. no, i'm a high school. usually. they give me, if the way to the only thing i felt either how i got hired to run through me sir, or mental judges. mingo ne daquan ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! don't jersey lives with his wife 2 kids and his elderly father. about tyler? oh oh oh, i mean, oh oh, oh b, along grandpa was a came
