we still have time to out. i'm doing with some scribe or more media like ah this is the w is life i'm burning. nancy pelosi leaves taiwan this tension with china rise before she left the u. s. how speak up promise to help boost the island self defense. the high profile high ranking visit to prompted fury from china, which is responded with military drill surrounding tie, was also on the program ship carrying ukrainian grains. continuing on its journey

to lebanon after passing checks in turkey under the deal with russia to restart expos. ah, i'm fil gale. welcome to the program. nancy pelosi has left taiwan after delivering a statement of solidarity us house speaker said her country would do whatever it takes to boost the islands ability to defend itself. she was there for less than a day during which she met with the president and addressed parliament. missus pelosi visited despite stock warnings from china, which responded by boosting its military drills in the seas. a round table, a trip that had set the region on edge. the speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi arrives in taiwan, making her the highest level american official to visit the island in 25 years.

pelosi stopover was kept deliberately ambiguous, amid stock warnings from china, and the threat of a military response. despite reservations in the biden administration, the white house insisted that pelosi had a right to choose whether to visit and choose. she did to day our delegation of some very crowd came to taiwan to make unequivocally clear. we will not abandon our commitment to taiwan. and we are proud of our enduring friendship. today the world say is the choice between democracy and autocracy. america's determination to preserve democracy here in taiwan and around the world. we may, iron clad, beijing's response was furious. paylosity, so what pelosi has done this by no means a defense or protection of democracy, but a provocation and violation of china sovereignty and territorial integrity. which

in fact, china has vowed punishment under the one china principal. beijing views the self governing island as a break away province and has not ruled out re unification by force. it has announced a series of live fire military exercises surrounding the island, which taiwan warns will amount to an air and sea blockade. but despite china's threats tie, once president sighing then was resolute mandates, as she k facing deliberately heightened military thread. what i want will not back down, we will firmly uphold our nation sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy. on the ground in the capital, taipei opinions were divided. some feared retaliation from china. and by the way, after pillows, his visit, what i want is not targeted. i think she is making trouble for us. of course i am worried about military confrontation. while others were less concerned.

the hotel you. if i use the chinese threats, i feel numb. i don't feel particularly nervous, but i think that the media is exaggerating the matter. yet. here tell you that with taiwan now effectively surrounded by chinese military fears of a new crisis in the taiwan straits, arising all eyes and now on beijing i'll return as an analyst with him, a cato institute for china studies here in berlin. i asked her why china's leadership found the timing of nancy pelosi said trip. unsettling. well, this yes, particularly sensitive the heating thing because he is seeking, asked the lena and the chief chinese come it's party party stays actually. so lastly, once a week or undermined not least by the united states, and it's beyond just this year, going ahead to 2049. he has made unification with time on

a historic mission. and part of the great goal of the great to with the chinese nation. so for see, los is lucy's visit requires a strong chinese response. if not, you will come across this week. right. and so, so, so a lot of these are these belligerent pronouncements that spring for domestic consumption . yes, to a certain extent of 2 ways to look at it 1st on one hand, it is obviously to drive up nationalism and interest. obviously the 1st of august, which was the animal coming in the people's liberation army also played a huge factor here. so the mood is still quite high when it comes to like nationalism and anything related to that, particularly when time one, which most chinese and china do consider it as part of chinese territory. but that

though, there is definitely a silent majority within china, would be a military invasion all over time. one, right? so it there, as of it with a think it's complicated. so we had a relationship between the united states and china that was already fraught. has this trip moved that in one way? well, certainly hasn't made it friendly as it has. it actually made it worse. well, not really a china us relations expert, but i can definitely say one thing with this. a relations between china and taiwan has already had a historic low. so obviously her trip to taiwan does little to improve or repair cross street relations. but that's, it really sets the stage for our bilateral relations between china and taiwan. i'm going to proceed from now on what we're going to see more militarization. we're going to see an increase in intensity and frequency of economic coercion.

increasingly that will be to know how to treat, tie one. the question right now is, can it get any worse for now, what we've seen is china is also quite counsel, not too sure, as we will also have to best some, if not, most of the consequences in the military company does happen. taiwanda independence movement seems to be a quite a concern for china. is it really strong? what are they doing? i this is it is within time was leadership. the has been cattle to play down of it and you have follow like what time wednesday during her speech this morning in the joint press conference it was and dependents or definition of be put across because they know that with no

indication which i need to really think action is that the vision and what time when said and talk to them, it has been going around using this narrative testing yes. system testing sovereignty and it's on this based idea of freedom, democracy, human rights. so those are the really, he's that he was on believes that one is really fine. right for the whole idea. 16 understood. thank you. that's very clear. thanks for joining us. valerie time from ok to institute for china studies. thank you. i saw more storage making headlines around the world. the the army in burkina faso says it accidentally killed civilians during a counter terrorism operation in the country. se residence upon your village near the border with toto say more than 30 people were killed in an abstract on monday. the can, a faster has been battling that you harvest insurgency, which is not spilling over into talk. toto free as
