6:02 am
as a tense phone call. it's 5th time. they've spoken on the phone since joe biden to office tie one's been one of the more delicate topics the speaker of the us house of representatives. nancy pelosi says she's thinking about visiting the island, which beijing believes is part of its territory. she g ping has warned biden not to as he put it, play with fire. the u. s. president's reported to have raised allegations of genocide and forced labor practices linked to beijing's treatment of week of muslims. is also set of criticized was the u. s. c's as china's aggressive military posture across asia biden is not reported to have talked about removing us tariffs on chinese goods is accused beijing of unfair trade practices, which harm american workers. our white house correspondent, kennedy hawkins. as more well, what we know is, is there is right now no change to u. s. policy. the united states is sticking firmly to is one china policy. in other
6:03 am
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 a 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 and 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 paying that any sort of effort by china to try to absorb taiwan our,
6:04 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 what the 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, michael swain's, director of the stager program with the quincy institute. he says the 2 sides are yet to have talks that achieve anything. 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 . but the problem is that neither side regards the other statements is being
6:05 am
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 set and that's not all very often, that the 2 sides are really still just maneuvering against each other in a very, very 0 some 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 this particular time. then just makes the situation been more unstable and even
6:06 am
more undermining of the idea that there is a one china policy for the united states. latest figures in the us indicate the gross domestic product of gdp shrunk for the 2nd quarter in a row. the g d p is a measure of the value of all goods and services produced by a country, and it's usually used to judge how an economy is doing a recession is going to be declared if the same thing happens in the next quarter. but job growth remain strong, which hasn't been the case in the previous downturns. my cana has more from washington dc. it's a crippling time for american consumers, the inflation rate hovering around for decade, high of 9 percent. the base interest at which money is 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 bided insist the economy will recover and there is no recession . both chairman power and many of the
