5:02 am
o u. s. president joe biden and chinese president shipping have held 2 hours of frank talks and what's being described as a tense call. the phone conversation was the 5th between the 2 leaders since biden took office and covered a range of sensitive issues. u. s. policy on taiwan was a major topic, the speaker of the us house and representatives nancy pelosi is considering visiting the island, which beijing believes is part of its territory. children being warned by them not to quote play with fire. the u. s. president mentioned genocide and forced labor practices and relation to beijing's treatment to weaken muslims. he also criticized what the u. s. c's as china's aggressive military posture across asia. on the subject of trade. biden reportedly stopped short of discussing the removal of tariffs on chinese goods, accusing beijing of unfair practices which hom, american watkins, how whitehouse correspondent can be help. it has, well, well, what we know is that there is right now, no change to u. s. policy,
5:03 am
the united states is sticking firmly to is one china policy. in other words, that taiwan is a part of china. but where things get murky is that under us law, there is also an obligation of the united states to defend taiwan. if it is attacked in any way that is something that it would be obliged to help support. and so that is why there is a bit of a diplomatic problem for the united states. if nancy pelosi were to visit the island, the potential that there could be some sort of military confrontation, given the fact that right now in the c surrounding the island are not only the taiwanese military, but also the united states military and also the chinese military. now in terms of the phone call, there was a very strong word of caution by the u. s. president to chinese president. she's in paying that any sort of effort by china to try to absorb taiwan our,
5:04 am
to in any way. try and obtain the island by force would be strongly discouraged. in fact, the u. s. strongly opposes any unilateral efforts to change with united seems called the status quo, or undermine peace and stability across the top. the taiwan strait is the message that was conveyed by the u. s. president. so both of these leaders really sending a very strong message. while i spoke to michael swain, he's the director of the east asia palace program at the quincy institute. he says the 2 sides are yet to have any meaningful dialogue. there's been a continuing dissatisfaction on both sides. that neither is really addressing the concerns and interests of the other. it's really in some ways, a sort of dialogue of the deaf. you have these exchanges of talking points, which we've had again, in the case of the 2 precedent speaking with each other which are fairly pro forma
5:05 am
. but the problem is that neither side regards the other statements is being entirely credible. and that's because there's been a whole host of different factors over the last many years, beginning in the truck administration and the she can ping administration that really have lowered the sense that the words and deeds of both countries are really in connection. there is a greater sense that underneath the positive statements that are being said, when they are being said, and that's not very often, that the 2 sides are really still just maneuvering against each other in a very, very 0 sum way. and we've got to really get out of this kind of dynamic people criticize those who are opposed to nancy pelosi visit by saying she's a member of congress, and other congressional delegations have gone to taiwan in the past. so what's the big deal? well, it's a big deal in this case because she's not just any member of congress. she is the 3rd person in the line for the presidency. nancy pelosi then going to taiwan at
5:06 am
this particular time. then just makes the situation been more unstable and even more undermining of the idea that there is a one china policy for the united states. while latest figures in the us indicate that gross domestic product or g, d, p, has shrunk. now for the 2nd quarter in a row, it's one of the signs of a recession, but job birth remain strong, which hasn't been the case in previous downturns. my county has worn out from washington. it's a crippling time for american consumers. the inflation rate hovering around a for decade, high of 9 percent, the base interest at which money has lent increased $4.00 times this year already. and now the news that the g, d, p i from for the 2nd quarter, another blow to national confidence, although president biden insist the economy will recover and there is no recession . both chairman power and many of the
5:07 am
significant banking personnel and economists say we're not in recession. the biden administration points to the fact that employment is rising at an unprecedented rate with over 2 and a half 1000000. new jobs created this year alone, as clear evidence that it's doing a good job and opinion echoed by the treasury secretary. most communist and most americans have a similar definition of recession. substantial drop losses and mass layoffs. businesses shutting down. private sector activities, slowing considerably. family budgets under immense strain in some a broad based weakening of our economy. that is not what we're seeing right now. that many republicans in a divided congress seeing a political opportunity well aware that should the november elections take place in

5:18 am
christopher for munoz. he is the regional director of central and west africa programs at the national democratic institute. he joins us now from washington. d. c. christopher, what exactly should we be expecting, given the janitors refusing it seems to confirm this change of timeline we're hearing about well, i think we have to consider today said demonstrations as a cost changing event, in the sense that it shows to the content is that developed around the cooley, september of 2021 is no longer there. that civic society and of asian parties determined to have had c. and if the who doesn't open up a more inclusive, more conservative, more transparent transition process, then we could be in real trouble in guinea pig christopher. i believe you designed a program and to help facilitate political transitions. what advice would you be
5:19 am
giving to both sides here in terms of trying to find a resolution? in fact, in march of this year and the i sent a delegation to give you cannot re, i lead that delegation. and we had a good meeting with the head of the neutral winter, as well as with political party leaders, civil society, even traditional leaders. and we've made some recommendations which went along the lines of making sure that every union sector is represented us is voice through this transition. i'm being able to put in place a timeline that native that's known to the public specific benchmarks that can be made to make sure that this military transition is the last is history. because this year, in gwinnett county for democracy, i'm for citizens to have their rights, which is what she got to do demonstrations led by the f n d c. well, you talk about voices being had, i understand that happened talks between the groups organizing the protests and the
5:20 am
military gentlemen, those seem to have now fallen apart. so where does this go from here, given that we are seeing protests on the streets? i think the ball is really in the core of the military and they have to open up to 6 year journey conversations. because the, the reason why some of these dogs haven't gone far is that the other internal liquor just in society, what a civil society or political parties to your, that the engagement. but the military is very cosmetic. and that, yeah, recommendations on this edition. and i mean, take into consideration and i think it would be extremely difficult for the military winter to have the civil society on its back to have all the major political parties on back to have the international community on the back. and even the regional decision echo was insisting that the transition b r b truncated you can, even as the military region have all of this forces against you as to think that you'd be able to succeed in governing the country. well,
5:21 am
let me then ask care about echo last, just how influential has the block been trying to negotiate this, or is this truncated timeline simply wishful thinking on their part? well, i think your call was has been hanukkah because it is hard to do with the military course in the so region all at the same time. and it's grappling with distribution g at a certain time as it needs to be attention to development in my new book it out for us or in so echo was it's really hard to government. but i think the definition of the echo actually does drop it. drum good timeline is something that gains all that has gotten the consensus of all of the sub region and i think you did got so maybe we didn't have the extend our components of but in this trim, isn't that britain of prevail? and you say it was got no soft cd, it's going to after that time. so sitting in 2 other countries of booking vessel
