route taiwan. beijing is one the united states against pursuing a trades deal with the island if these taiwan is part of its territory and reacts with fury to any attempt to treat it has an independent nation. paging response to the american initiative was swift and unmistakable in its rhetoric. women tons, how may we urge the united states to implement the one china principal and provisions of the 3 china us joint communiques to stop any form of official exchanges with taiwan? will handle the taiwan issue cautiously and refrain from sending any wrong signals to taiwan independence forces was really far tool tool. the house, it's a statement meant to head off early signs that washington is eyeing and eventually trade packed with taiwan, us secretary of state antony blinking,

because taiwan has agreed to import us port with rec, told the main and purchased arms from the us for quite a while. i'll and they worry that a deal like this between taiwan and the us will further anchor china when china is still the biggest trait partner of taiwan. meanwhile, we've been hearing how the united states senate has just approved this $250000000000.00 tech bill with the aim of competing with john is tech competitions . and what impact is not likely to have them firms in china and taiwan? well, both china and i want to do accessing the impact experts in beijing that it's better not to over interpret it. the bill of purely confrontational or productive is that the government should continue on science and technology. the development goals as taiwan to be on my drive, the semi conductor giant like p s and the to invest in the us more like there

chelsea. the likes of bays austin musk paying 0 income tax. how can not even be possible? well, if it's quite easy then that's what the data has shown. i would note that this is confidential data that has been leaked by public. i did reach out to all of the people mentioned and their story and none of them disputed what the these tax reports have shown. what it really points to is the, the income tax system in the us. so unlike normal people like me and you, jeff phase, those must be, they don't earn most of their wealth from bi weekly paycheck, say most of their wealth is coming from things like, like the shares of their companies that they own. these huge stock holdings other investments their yard, their vacation homes, that's where the bulk of their wealth is coming from. and in the us, that is not taxed until you decide to sell those assets. so this basically allows

for people like just phase those to see their wealth go up in the billions and not pay any taxes on that. this will, of course, raise more pressure on the u. s. to, to reconsider the way that they tax some of this. well, i think it's clearly a lot of people are benefiting from this. chelsea, delaney in frankfort. thanks for staying on top of that part. of the chinese are the world's biggest produces of things like cups and plates. that probably won't come as a surprise given that we do call them china. the dominance of chief chinese ceramic has been a major challenge for european manufacturers on that. they're trying to overcome his report from portugal. handmade in small series, that's gasper roach. as a business model 20 years ago, his ceramics factory was much larger and he had 15 employees. so i was
