11:03 am
hoping that said apple headed the u. s. is the biggest saboteur of peace in the taiwan strait and the biggest troublemaker of regional stability issues. that is the asia indo pacific strategy that is highly confrontational and dangerous. it shows the hypocrisy and double standards of the united states of the international rules and of china does not resist us, recklessness and irresponsibility, and lack of rationality than respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. this principle of international relations will just become empty words, separatists and extremists will only re double their baldness, why the peace and stability that has been hard won in this region will be seriously jeopardized. straight counselor, wang ye said that this incident was single handedly orchestrated and caused by the us and the merits. and the cause and consequences are crystal clear into china. has john, what is diplomatically possible to the maximum extent to avoid this crisis imposed
11:04 am
on china. but we will not tolerate any harm to our core interests and the national reach of the nation. so we will not just sit by and watch the united states play the taiwan card and serve its own domestic politics and selfish interests of some politicians. balance of clothes, he is now in south korea where she met the speaker of the national assembly. kim jim pill. tony chang is tracking the latest developments for us from bangkok and tony. i mean the foreign ministry in beijing, not really buying the distance. the white house is trying to make between it and the policy visit beijing as obviously been very angry on thursday morning again. it has and i think it's going to continue to, to be very angry for some time to come at it. it really depends whether you see the, the statements coming from the white house sort of trying to distance themselves as, as really highlighting a difference between joe biden and nancy pelosi or whether this is just some kind
11:05 am
of tactic for them to make this slightly easier for the chinese to swallow it, it clearly has in words you're hearing a lot of the, this very fiery rhetoric coming out of beijing or so coming out of chinese diplomats around the world, you know, talking about the need for reunification and time one the, the need to re educate the taiwanese people in faith in some cases. and i think we are going to see, you know, a very unified wave of chinese diplomacy very angrily condemning the visit. and as you say, we've got those ongoing military exercises their scheduled to last until sunday. possibly even extended to monday, which think o in a show, a very significant sign of chinese fire power in what is effectively a complete blockade around taiwan. nonetheless, nancy pelosi has moved on. she's made her point really remains to be seen. what
11:06 am
chain is actually going to do? a lot of this may well be for the consumption of the chinese domestic audience. who feel it that taiwan taiwan unification is, is a very precious issue for the chinese. so it may be to a certain extent the beijing is engaged in damage control at the moment. of course, the ongoing chinese exercise continue a or around taiwan. don't the yes sir. and where there are 6 places which really surround the island and to a certain extent, if you wanted to look at china's plan for how it might consider taking bag taiwan. well, this is a very good example of how that might do that. they've deployed forces all around the island. we understand at various points today that navy ships have crossed the median line. that is, the sort of unofficial line where the taiwanese navy and the chinese navy regard
11:07 am
the division of their territory. although officially, of course, china regards the suit as all of their space. we also understand from the time when these military, the chinese rockets have been fired through time when he's air space. so i think it's going to be, you know, over the next 48 hours, if i log into the we can, you know, this is going to continue. we're going to see a china showing in its largest maritime exercises ever, that, that really, really has the capability to take bag taiwan if it wanted to. and that's the message. i think they're trying to convey to their domestic audience. but what are they really going to do? i think that's the question and to a certain extent, i think you want to look at what's going on in taiwan itself. life is going on very much as normal. i think they had anticipated this the time. when is authorities? i think you're prepared for some of those incursions. they have scrambled military jets over the last 24 hours to try and monitor those chinese planes that have come
11:08 am
into the what they regard as their territory. but at this stage, they don't seem to be to panic or continue to monitor events in the region with you, tony, as the day progresses tele, checking the force in bangkok. well, in the wake of nancy plays, he's taiwan trip. foreign ministers from the region have express concern about the possibility of open conflict between major powers. delegates from the 10 member i see and blog holding talks, income dady is capital ministers say that concerned volatility could lead to miscalculations and that urging maximum restraint. well, the crisis in memo is also on the sienna gender representatives from the military judge to have refused to attend the meeting, that the states had said, the block may reconsider its policies towards me and my father louis has more from put on time. in fact, we heard the cambodian prime minister who incense his country's also chair of the ozzy and the rotating are the in championship,
