good building, the biggest thing in the world is this spiritual and architect motions. it starts december 18th on d. w. ah, ah, ah, this deed of the news life on berlin, trouble between france and the u. k. grinds to whitney a halt. crowds lined up to board the last james and fairies across the channel. i had all the midnight's deadline, only sensual genies allowed on the new rules. steam that still in on the concept fans also coming up. the race is on to get protection for all in europe,

as only current spreads across the continent. the new variance is now set to be the most infectious cobit strain and chinney at the crossroads hotels in the south american countries. fizzy stock choice on sunday between the presidential candidates described as the polla offices. ah, i am eddie micah julia, and you are welcome to the program. a ban on non essential travel between france and the united kingdom has come into effect. the new restrictions announced by france on thursday. we're just a week to go till christmas. sets off a last minute rush, long lines in london, us people queued for hours for the u. a star train to paris and a dover, hundreds of cars web backed up,

stay open to beat them. midnight's deadline. the french government imposed a curbs to help slew the spread of the on the quote of variance for you. okay, i've seen a spike and go in a virus infections when more than 93000 new cases on friday. santa claus is coming to town or maybe not of it's paris, he's going to and his last stop was london, non essential travel between france and britain grind to a halt on saturday. a strict new rules go into force at paris is goth. do know, christmas holiday makers were grabbing their last chance to get to london on the eurostar on friday. i feel very lucky that i managed to get out of france on the last day that it's possible. um, but yeah i, it is a bit worrying. it's a bit scary. m, who knows is going to happen in january when, when everything gets that's normal after the new year. so we'll see. i think it's

a bit late really considering melnik already here with rollin of in britain. so i don't see why a runs why would either restriction with on to the skate game. so we thought this is a grand adventure, was that we were looking for an escape game and we found out exactly how to get out of france and back from london. or they'll make it out. but re entering france from britain won't be quite as jolly across the channel, low a long queues at london saint pancras station. as people there sought to travel in the opposite direction and get to france while i could from saturday. even if the british can convince french authorities that that travel is essential. they'll be subject to self isolation on arrival. talking about a travel bound from the u. k. to friends rarely asked did of you correspondent charlotte, chelsea pale. if this was causing concern in the u. k. well, there is a did have plans to go wrong. clearly very,

very disappointed. we're hearing that they've been neither rushing to counselor, as i say, rushing together across the border. they've been noises from tours and bodies as well. they've described this as a hammer blow. obviously they've been very, very badly affected by the pandemic over the last year. and a half, so another blow to them. but a lot of people in the u. k. i have to say a really focused on the domestic situation prompt to said that it's and post these restrictions because it's the rapid spread of on the chrome in the u. k, it says it wants a chance to increase it 1st to jam that but the situation in the u. k. really is quite alarming at the moment. the number of cases has been rising. the 3 days running. and i think it is those case numbers that font is looking at half. france isn't the only country in europe bracing for a new wave of infections across the continent. governments, i introduce restrictions such as limits and opening times of restaurants, apps,

and venues of vaccination. children is another measure. authorities are taken to reduce the severity of infections. oh, a quick pinch. and it was all done. yeah. with with i think these kids in denmark i getting vaccinated against coven? 19 no girl. yeah. i thought i got the job because of the new corona variant. and i don't want to be so sick that i can't eat dinner with. everybody on a chron is spreading at a fast speed and denmark infection rates. i think daily record hiv pushing more and more parents to get their children jobs to slow the spread of the virus. the danish government has announced that cinema theatres and concert halls will be closed. restaurant opening hours will also be restricted in neighboring

germany. the health minister has raised the alarm alecia front and i'm, i'm assuming a massive 5th wave. that's awesome. we have to prepare ourselves for a challenge and all that we have not yet faced in this form. here we are in, these are formed on the sharper infection rates have been rising rapidly across germany to the easy spread of on the kron with sun rights soaring even higher. as a result, the german government has now classified denmark and other countries, including france and norway as high risk areas. travelers will have to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival unless they have been vaccinated or recovered from a current of ours infection. that's now go to i saw some speak to dw correspondent band are eager to band countries across europe are tightening restrictions and are now re introducing travel restrictions. franz and austria are both. we in post them

are more countries likely to follow suit. we are already looking at a patchwork of regulations are additional requirements and routes, portugal island, italy, all of them have established already additional testing requirements. france is now bending, essential travel from the u. k. although for example, you can and training from the u. k to belgium, that's still possible though there's also not very logical all these restrictions and austria is now taking the lead because austria is only letting people in who are boosted. you can only get there if you have 3 shots. if you're only vaccinated, you needed an additional test and all other people have to quarantine and, and the netherlands are contemplating a full lockdown again. and also a trevor, ben and germany also is considering out some areas in europe as high risk area. so

you can go back without guaranteeing. and in the next days and weeks we will see more countries fall into this pattern. so we are back to the scheme we had last christmas, and everybody bought into to avoid that. but the, the new or me cron vibrant is forcing governments to react. now clearly restrictions differ from country to country. could there be a unified it would be an approach? well blood, li speaking, there is no a european approach. there was a summit just last thursday here by the leaders and had the dire warnings on the table, but they ignored them. the e, c, d. c, the european center for disease control, the u. s. own agency for this purpose said, you cannot stop or me crohn any more. it's too late, even the booster shots and vaccination will not stop this 5th or 6th wave in europe

. you have to consider actually to, to set up make shift hospitals to, to take care of all these are hard under the 1000 and millions of cases that are coming, not as a wave, but as a tsunami. and the leaders, well, they did nothing. they went home and did than their own restrictions, but no of curve coordinate effort. they to care about their domestic situation. the only thing they agreed on, they want to stop and earth to trevor restrictions for laurie drives, for example. so that delivery changed at least from function over the borders. ok, now regarding vaccinations you mentioned earlier. how well equipped as europe for yet another wave the commissioner rosters are there is enough for vaccines are enough shots for everybody. the commission is buying them for all of europe and distributing them. there might be some shortages in the 1st quarter of the year, but the sister can be still worked on with the manufacturers. about the problem is

that the, the cdc, the control agency says there's not enough time any more to prevent the new wave by vaccinations or boosters band or you get in razzles. thank you. that's now look at some more stories making headlines around the world. the philippines disaster agency says the best tool from typhoon ry has risen to that one. the storm also left massive destruction and that's not an official. see. many people are still missing. more than 300000 people let the homes to escape typhoon, which was one of the most powerful in the sense yes, to strike the philippines. bella luce is receiving help from russia. it's my grand stand off with poland. russia i sent in long range bone best to help petrol. the western borders of its ally says that but a vision military the, you accuse this means of an engineer the crisis by bringing migrants to the polish

border and telling them they could enter the from the defense lawyers in the trial of british socialites. gillian maxwell have rested your keys and has sex abuse trial in new york, the lawyer spent 2 days presenting witnesses. maxwell declined to testify calling their prosecutions case on proven she denies grooming underage girls for abused by the liter file. jeffrey epstein. of the year 20 trop minus have been rescued from a flooded coal. mining shyness. the province 2 others were confirmed that the men had been trapped for nearly 2 days. state media at about 400 rescue as had been recently closed to reach the miners. and how did you go? or now voters in chile are facing a stock choice. wendy votes in sundays presidential ronald chilly, has been considered one of latin america's most stable and wealthy nations,

but has been rocked by protest about economic inequality. polls suggest a neck and neck contest between 2 candidates who are being described us polar opposites. they couldn't be more different. one is far right. anti immigration politician. jose antonio casa, the other is gabriel bridge, a 35 year old former student leader with a passion for social justice. and they're going head to head in the battle to govern chile, offering different versions and different hopes for the countries future. loudecker, i am the alternative candidate who will face down criminals and drug traffickers. and the only option that will put an end to terrorism. sure, killable that i think i thoroughly more about we have been entrusted to lead the fight for democracy, for inclusion, for justice, for the respect and dignity of all. it's a struggle that we welcome and there is room for every one in it. oh,

cast has taken a strong anti immigrant stance, tapping into the recurring theme as the country sees a steady stream of migrants from venezuela, haiti, and columbia. it's a did this, it issue with some terean's attacking migrants near the border with peru. he has strong support from some quarters you'll get up with god. i hope that with cast as president, no more migrants will come in. that's what i hopeful there are already too many migrants. it's already happened. burridge, on the other hand, embodies a desire to close the door and she lays past dictatorship by adopting a new constitution. oh, that i get them. it's about constructing a chile that has just and dignified, that has pensions to seniors and health care that doesn't discriminate. that allows us to decentralize power, that he fell again. would it be?

it looked that he told you the 2 candidates are now set for the run off and engaged in a struggle with different versions of the future. for one of latin america's most prosperous nations. did of you latin america correspondence joanna ramirez is following the election for us. the latest polls showed that the difference between these 2 main candidates is narrowing a right now. at this moment a gabrielle bodies would win the election with 39 percent of the vote. 3 percent over jose antonio cast. but what is interesting here is that for example, some months ago, e september, the difference between this candidate was around 20 percent. it means that in the last few weeks, jose antonio cause has been winning more and more support. but there is a still an important number of voters on the side borders. so if they go out on sunday and they vote their election, their cars can change their, their,

the result of this election at the very last minute. so he's very unpredictable. the watch indeed of the news has a reminder that's off star. i was following for you non essential travel between britain and france has been banned. paris hasp introduced title travel restrictions, and it bit to slow down the spread of the variance. you're watching the news from barely enough next doc films looks at taiwan laboratory for democracy in the shadow of china. i am eddie micah genia are watching. ah, what interest? the global economy? our portfolio. d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the flight for market

dominance. get a step ahead with the w business beyond on youtube, who o. an isolated island in the south china sea. 16th century portuguese sailors called it isla formosa, or beautiful island. but to day, we know it as taiwan. taiwan is a de facto state home to 24000000 residents. it has its own flag and them currency language and institutions. located 200 kilometers off the coast of the people's republic of china. taiwan cannot escape beijing's shadow in the eyes of the chinese government,

taiwan is one of its provinces. easy any and all attempts to divide. china will inevitably fail, least in 6 full. they will be scorned by the people and history. beijing's guiding policy is one country to systems. in other words, taiwan should return to the fold but can theoretically maintain its economic and political autonomy. taiwan is on the front y k. one is the democracy guarding against the expansion of chinese authoritarianism and kiwanis to stand tall are in the face of the chinese onslaught, even though the chinese government, including president shipping himself, are they want to impose one country to. so some model, anti one by one,

is always say, no way. on january 11th, 2020 thousands gathered on the streets of the taiwanese capital tide pe, anxiously awaiting the results of a pro, then shall election tie one's future hung in the balance ship. i wish one might, the incumbent candidate didn't view taiwan sovereignty as some future goal. she and her party firmly believe it's already a reality. ah. the results were decisive. receiving a record breaking 8000000 votes, president sy, in when secured her 2nd term in office, a blow to beijing. thinking that then i would like to remind beijing that piece a quality democracy and dialogue are prerequisites and lasting understanding

between our countries. when ah is full words are the key to peace and stability on bedside waiting. it's high time for china to quit putting pressure on time one. i know when i triumph, not just the incumbent, but for a whole generation of so cold activists. this group of tech savvy and politically engaged programmers and computer engineers reject a future dictated by china. together, they want to strengthen their young democracy into something that solution driven and transparent. democracy is a set of technologies, of course going into the voting booth. or this are mechanism designed to bait better reflect the actual ality of the policy that what people perceive the world is and also what a common problems are and what come a solutions are. and a to increase the bandwidth that is to say,

the available input into the collective decision making by everybody taiwan lungs, to step out of china's looming shadow. can taiwan withstand the tension and what beijing's next move? how strong is this young democracy really? ah, j way, leon is a passionate believer in democracy. it's the backbone of his taiwanese identity. he seeks to distance himself from his chinese roots. oh. but that's no easy task when china is omnipresent. it's the land of his

ancestors and traditions. he's constantly reminded of his family's origins. oh that all good. she whole. what's india dosage when i was in china? i was i phoned my friend to talk about the gentleman square massacre, w. c hall, which was august at some point i noticed that i'd been under surveillance or 2 weeks now. how y'all was you? i had written articles to tell my friends in taiwan, the state of chinese civil society are yodi chairs. but these articles were censored and blocked by the chinese government. hey, when, when song was a senior dogs alcala? it's, i had the feeling that taiwan was warming up to the idea of reunification. i know how much to my dismay, one bow. so was the booth with its own clothes. so i returned to taiwan and started

a social movement in white out. how on i'd so it's a local mean don't j way lean is perhaps among the most skilled program as of his generation. as an engaged citizen and civic hacker, he uses his vast experiencing open source software to bypass security measures. in pursuit of his personal convictions. china, all the while is tightening its grip on its population through measures like these social credit system, where citizens behavior is monitored to rank if they a good or bad j way lean once fair and functioning systems. he'll even hack time when he's institutions to meet that goal. says that i and donald i. so my goal is to protect democracy in taiwan. what i shall, how would i want the coming generation to have more choices and or the ship to go on living freely and democratically so, and to choose their own politicians at barrow of was it's in and not be oppressed.

i me and censor. like the chinese apples live in a dictatorial regime, sidles herself were shout, was up with 0. so when they felt that democracy was at risk, j wailin and his tech savvy piers mobilized at the time, they were alarmed at how many concessions were being made to beijing. oh, march 18th, 2014 month, the emergence of the so called sunflower movement, tens of thousands of students gathered in front of the taiwanese parliament to protest the ratification of a trade agreement with china, which they feared would shift control of ty, one's economy to beijing. this agreement was initiated by ty, one's ruling majority party at the time the comin tang or the chinese nationalist party. the party was originally anti communist,

but had faded building and more harmony. his relationship with china since the mid 19 eighties. the leaders wanted ratification without delay or debate. the uprising lasted 23 days, jolting awake, a new political consciousness. no abandoning the state was oppressing the people. so the occupation of parliament can absolutely be labeled as a legitimate act of liberation. if this occupation had indeed been a crime, i would have gone to jail for it. i applied march to jail at the drop of a hat for taiwan while you were a tower and your daughter, i wan is our land line together. we'll defend democracy. does the woman i will defend freedom and we will defend life. the future, one of taiwan hill. oh wait,

i ah, the controversial agreement sparked an unprecedented wave of protests. for the 1st time, taiwanese civil society openly opposed china and dreamed of a new future. with me. sam young is the lead singer of the band fire aches. in island sunrise. he sings about the breaking of a new dawn. the song became an anthem to the sunflower movement.

oh, oh sancho, that's all i remember climbing over the fence on and standing in front of the parliament's main entrance. she would jo. well, jose way the students needed a song that touched hearts and invigorated the movement sizes. oh god hasn't gone me a whole she this song has been my contribution in those has any judy. it is a multi no politics concerns us all. andrew, it's really a shame that there's so much apathy these days, or people don't care about politics on yet. we are a democracy. this is if we do nothing to we risk returning to authoritarian isn't

always on that alarms me uncomfortable. the system time one's modern history is closely linked to china's one looming figure is former president chiang kai shek, who once ruled both china and taiwan with an iron fist. by 1949, a civil war had been raging in china for more than 2 decades. it was a bitter struggle between mousy tunes, communists and the ruling party. the nationalists of the quote min tang or k m t for short in the driver's seat chiang kai shek

i facing internal strife. chiang kai chic depended on the support of the victors of world war 2. above all the americans. yeah, the communist bonds could no longer be stamped as mount c tomb to plead the founding of the people's republic of china. chiang kai shek and his supporters went into exile. nearly 2000000 people left their homeland gate. jake douglas doing stuff to protect. i mean, he did that, you need to do some research on the money. got it from that point home,

there were 2 regimes in the 2 lands on one side of the full most a straight. there was communist china on the other, taiwan a military dictatorship. both leaders insisted on their legitimacy and then lou suffered at the hands of the generally cmo spending 12 years as a political prisoner. the notable feminist played a pivotal role in transforming taiwan from a dictatorship to a democracy. her personal museum contains memories of a life filled not only with struggle, but with triumph or disuse. the archives of the working groups i found it shall be published many books to drive forward, the democracy movement. and ty, one's development, lisa, this is the magazine full knows that we published full issues of it before we were

arrested. double don't try to draw full title of this article is lonely democracy or democracy? said oh sarah, this is he is the democracy movement in taiwan force in and out of jail or are the sy fi azia g ship that i saw? 88 years of martial law meant that people had no democratic rights during that time . so literally damira, there was no freedom of expression to you. the press was controlled and sent it out . italy, there was no freedom assembly or association me up and criticizing the government was forbidden. there woman, by the old people could do was listen right and debate a full day yet. so today young people argue with their parents who were loyal to china and urged their children to vote for candidates. he faith reunification portion that the young people refused because they belong here. taiwan is

a free and democratic land residency eula, terrorism injury. what is this rift separating taiwanese youth from their parents? parents who long for the days when china and taiwan were one who approve of democracy when it works in their favor. under the nationalist chrome in tang dictatorship, taiwan experienced an economic miracle. it was the era of made in taiwan with double digit growth rates at the expense of workers who were mercilessly exploited . as taiwan boomed, the west profited because shown by the how many hours a day to people work here. no, my mom, the between 10 and 127 days a week, box man, never a day off of 3 days a month at most optimum from

the early sixties to the early eighty's. taiwan exported goods all over the world as one of the 4 asian tiger economies. the population grew wealthier and indulged in the american way of life baseball. fly it as a beloved sport by enlarging taiwan as the economy did well. so too did the people ah, why was on the scene told out, i think in order to protect our democracy, it was i said, we need to look at the history of ty, once dictatorships, of how it oppressed the citizens of, with either way high, some taiwanese believed the purpose of democracy is to achieve prosperity on the final thoughts yet. now if that doesn't happen on campus all,

they would happily accept a dictatorship on mil weiss as but others understand that democracy means so much more. m. a young it's free elections of freedom of expression, true and respect for human rights. not so good. this opposition is a generational issue for about a them that's hard you 3 times a year, j way. lin trembles 300 kilometers south from taipei to the west coast. city of tai none where he grew up. oh and all. but she need yolanda to go to sleep. he was raised in a conservative pro chinese family. he can't help but feel a little dread before each visit. a lively, often exhausting debate with his father is sure to come. yes,

answered yoletta, you are already 36 eat. i can't do anything other than lay out the facts and try to convince you hope all younger. all of the g hold of cool. i don't want your life to be as difficult as mine, and your mother's joke any may hold a single good. oh great grandfather insisted. it's always a dear clear of politics you all. or mindy heightens, do you get that marked or did over to? it's are, china wants to establish policies in taiwan in hong kong to the ship that benefit china, but not necessarily us 40. there's no room for negotiation to the appointment on poppy may. instead, china puts pressure on our government and on the wealthiest to force the whole society to obey and gun censure, yada to people are starting to get fed up with his coercion job and pushing back the name of dora. it's a chain reaction to those houses. he go, fans are going to, it's on her, cornelia who's with either handled a tight. yeah. but this democratization process costs money

a whole democracy requires a strong economy to work and your g. i'll do that. i don't what, how can we continue on this path? if the economy collapses, now cindy, having to, you know, what can j wailin say to that? his father knows what life under a dictatorship is like, and yet still he would sacrifice individual liberties. if it meant keeping his wallet full, he still moans a paradise that went away at the end of the 1980s, with the rise of democracy, j way. lin. meanwhile, prizes political transparency. it's a fundamental divide that's not easy to overcome or sins also, it's it either car fans over for she says why she all sang of little, much else alive. joy without the an open government done requires 3 things. i mean, i ain't as of the functionality, jenkins, one word i as a citizens who are willing to get in fault, said i, law, invest their time, hence,

and engage gold. yet, for jojo's algola, you and thoughts had se, though, the 2, fisher dodge out. officials who will inform citizens about the government's work at work in a straightforward um, understandable way. oh davids, even though how yoga is hunter yates is on say, well that's n z a move. since it i don't want high on and 3, it's all about z. holla, titian's, who will lay the legal groundwork, i think so that there can be open debate being wife armina found agile toronto tie on. hala titian's who are willing to take responsibility sac on with he should. he may orthodox, although she thought radical transparency was a key component of the sunflower movement. and sy, in wins campaign. since the leader took office, she said to work implementing that vision.

one champion of transparency is, audrey tang, she's trans and post gender, describing her pronouns agenda as what ever named one of the world's 20 most influential people in digital government. she has been reinventing the nature of politics in her role as ty, once digital minister, since 2016 as additional minister is 1st to show that the government is not a black box. and so what i'm trying to show here is that if we can have the courier public service, have more direct conversation with people in a more effective way. they can also sympathize was that people more so the government can trust the citizens more. and whether the government trust this is as more by being more transparent and accountable, some citizens will want to participate because whatever they offer, they can see how it's translated into real policy.

i only film because you film and people who view the way that we do as a much more balanced idea because behind a traditional camera, the person holding the camera is invisible to the audience. so what i'm trying to do is to restore the balance to that people can see both sides of the camera and then it makes short as people can feel density can also be you or be made. that means include small people potentially into this conversation. on this evening, the minister headed to an interview on the night night show

a satirical political talk show that launched on youtube in 2018 stand up comedian and host bryan thing attracted record audience numbers and a young fan base. politicians often clamored for an invitation on the weekly shows, the something of a political phenomenon. millions of view is tuned in to watch the sarcastic, sharp tongued host. but this was the 1st time he'd had the chance to welcome audrey tang onto the program. the movie, who did your state without government consent? still hold up after you became a minister when there was, it doesn't mean there's no government. right? was it was central. there is very much a government. it just doesn't have the power to govern. all does that mean there's no hierarchy. you're precisely, you'll and that works to, you know,

it's ready. reality is, i don't give or take orders. and the key means that no one assumes lose power rather power as highly decentralized with those who equate anarchy with having no government. make the mistake of believing that no one word that's a misnomer. so we need to be precise. that same faith. i can't it a lot of the things that she does is really on golf. she puts everything on her agenda online. it's kind of like truman, the movie and it because the idea is to, for the government to be open, like an open government, everyone can see and scrutinize what the government is doing. and it's these kind of ideas that's really making innovations and make yeah, it's almost like it's hope you know what, what

a newtonian government would look like in many talk shows the agenda is set by the comedian facilitator and the hopes to enter guest rate budget. this opens up the agenda, setting power to everybody in the audience. not only can de discover what other people in the audience are interested in, but they can do so and like each other's questions without interrupting our conversation. i welcome to tonight and i chose today. so a gated equations. as the age of 8, they started a company at 16 ad, retired at $33.00. they shall give a warm welcome to ty, one's youngest minister under audrey tango. mm hm

. the drill is the same as always. audrey tang maintains balanced by making her own recording a condition to her, appearing on the talk show. the ground rules are clear, no editing, full transparency. so how can young people make their voices heard? all she said sounds that she wants to say the more that young people take part in policies for their generation, the better. it's the best means for full transparency. anyway, that's because you know, so when citizens are not involved in political decision making, they distrust politics, usage of it. however, if instead we set up digital platforms for participators, citizen centric politics,

people can help shank things which that build strategy that's only had our angel. can a vision give it out for audrey tang ah, audrey tongue and the sunflower movement have made a marked difference. young, tech savvy activists have mobilized to scrutinize the work of government institutions. every statement is verified, regardless of which political party made it. this is what a real revolution looks like in a place where at one time, even taking an interest in politics was dangerous. valuable as a whole lot. during the sunflower movement, i was working on my doctoral thesis and the us on january the the and following the events on tv, every night shall have you. my family advised me. keep your nose out of politics

and, and you get a good degree and don't be taken in by them. gestures and got the movement was centered around utmost parliamentary transparency and freedom from the chinese chokehold younger than the haitian. oftentimes only despite all efforts to distance itself from its chinese neighbour, taiwan has been shut out of nato and other international organizations for the past 5 decades. it's an isolated land held captive by its own history. b. o. even the world's major democracies have turned their backs on taiwan despite it having the attributes of a sovereign state. taiwan maintains diplomatic relations with only about 15 small estates, including the vatican. we can try to understand the reason why they don't want to

recognize that i want officially. oh there's ah, a always a document are in the process of recognition of the p r c. are saudi gl representative representing china. and they also think that thought china is a big market for them to do business with. so, you know, a few years ago we still experienced difficulties in trying to expand our relations with federal democracies because they think that they don't want to off in china. the chinese president, she jin ping is not the root cause of time, one's diplomatic isolation. it's the result of the tug of war between chiang kai shek and mousy tomb over the one legitimate china tie one's fate was decided at the united nations headquarters on october 25th 1971 at the end of a historic and she multi with session communist china was recognized as the sole

legitimate representative to the u. n. was it possible for there to be 2 chinese side by side in this assembly? certainly not for the 2 arch rivals mowing chiang kai shek. china is one and indivisible. you view of the frenzy irregular manner that has been exceeded in this, or there are they that again, over him, have china as loud as i'd love to take part you any further proceedings of this year, nathan taiwan was expelled from the u. n. and hasn't returned since the one china policy shattered chiang kai shek streams of conquest and any hope of returning home. since then the 2 lands have faced off across the street wielding intimidation and propaganda.

ah, it's human buffy lot will you did walk? you moss o ballard diffused this logo. aquatic la fontose. i despise, own going, militaristic tensions. the conflict has so far seem it at a show of force. did the taiwanese have another choice? power bay. julian, her gore, the taiwan, was thrown out of the united nations. this is mast regrettable fault, but the blame lies. were chiang kai shak. had dogwood. many nations offered taiwan membership alongside the people's republic and they built ogle ah, the under the condition that it relinquished aids claim to sole representation william will say. but unfortunately, chung chi shanks refused thumbs to junk. d as in to g o. this decision sealed the fate of taiwan the people to day live and breathe the consequences.

i'm not sure whether there will be a political recognition or diplomatic recognition in the future. but i think the political tramp is dear, that the political relations, or, ah, diplomatic relations between taiwan and the european countries or federal democracies are getting better and better. and we can certainly hope that one day taiwan will be recognized by ah, the federal democracies as a member of democracy. are that how wand is a member, a state that is, ah, on the equal footing us other democracies. beyond these diplomatic complications, life goes on here on the beautiful island. but just outside this picture, perfect backdrop, a serious threat is looking in july 2019 taiwan purchased
