with an ecological twist, using the sun's energy to turn the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide back into jet fuel and tracking the production of palm oil. as we start up uses tech to try to ensure plantations don't use child labor and are easy on the environment. i've been for sold and let's do business. you worries about trade in asia and knock on effects for the global economy. china says it's sanctioning us how speaker nancy pelosi and her family. after she visited taiwan aging, considered the self governing island part of its territory and called her trip a provocation. the military exercises have prompted some ships to navigate around the taiwan strait. disrupting ki trading roots for cargo and commodities saving around the world. it's proof of the economic fall out. any escalation in the region would have globally trade between china and taiwan has also seen interruptions. let's take a look at some of the fallout from nancy pelosi visit. in

a warning shot china, his band in ports of over 2000 different products from taiwan, may the food products, both processed and fresh aging has stopped exporting sand to the island a product necessary for taiwan construction industry. chinese also created a blockade of types of tie one as it patrols the c surrounding it, which could prevent all imports and exports, paralyzing tie one's economy and crippling the trade in semiconductors needed in everything from smartphones to health care equipment and defense systems. that's one reason this story has traitors gripped around the globe. well, alexander guerrero law is a senior fellow of the carnegie council for ethics in international affairs. his wife looks at china's growing assertiveness in the region. could china now put economic pressure? not only on taiwan, but also on the west in response to the policies visit and it's already doing it. i do remember the last, the last,

the located in the $99599.00 a month and was only ended by been sending, sending a would try to be shooting itself in the foot if it did something like that. now considering the global economy, considering the chip making industry and by severely punishing taiwan, it would, it could hold any cannot to export. absolutely. i like to look at the large picture that she's saying all the time that the nation often times nation is only completed once time is up to date and, and reunited is the whole thing with the company. as a matter of fact, i want to spend a 1000000 people and the public is 1400000 people. so like there is no economic significance that i want to possibly add to the old o g b of china,

except for china. and i have the rare earth and, and i, one has technology and to know how to produce it into cheap. so indeed, it would be like a good move on she and, and his idea to get, hold of time to then combine taiwanese technology and know how, with the rare that already like existing in chinese or will. the other great thing for china is that it would give huawei a fantastic supplier on its side, which it's already reliant on t s. m. c. for example the, the top manufacturer on the island. but then that manufacturer also supplies over 90 percent of the world's high class chips. it and i guess, i mean, i think it will be discussing the obvious not that this would have to be implications on the whole. and this is why taiwan again is one of the most dangerous places on that, because the publication by the people's republic of china do not only written and

assess governing democratic country, but also like the global supply chains. and if you look at the big picture again, she will not be stopping it. i want, he has 15 neighbors and 17 conflict of a territory. so he's go scope and, and go east to dominate the whole less than pacific and get towed over everything that's happening in global trade. that and having control over the industry would just be according to his go. so he would love that because then to over to a to bowen, crowd towards china regarding chip technology. alexander, besides who is going to be in the ne, here in his conflict, who is more dependent on the, the taiwan or china. another. yeah, i mean very, it's very, very small as a, it's a, it's a little country and it has however, like strong allies in australia, japan and the united states, and remind that germany trade number 5 and as being

a democracy that was as taken on like the form of the institution and be able to like, rather than the democratic spirit which are both our nations on the notion of human rights and law. and that's something that's quite different from china. but it would be the best work for the world for say, if taiwan and china would get on, ah, just as friends. but at the point at this point, moment in time, this is not the case. of course, taiwan is given this location of course, depending on a good relationship to china, more than the other way around. however, if you want to be like the biggest economic power in the world and having like a seat at the table of international community, china asked to think twice or 3 times if you want to only like a small little neighbor next to you and by the way and then like still think you

can do that this role and get this role in the international arena analyst alexander gala. thank you very much for your time. let's take a look at some other business news. intel is expected to announce a $5000000000.00 investment in advance semiconductor packaging and assembly plant in italy. it's part of a broader $88000000000.00 investment fund, a u. s. chip maker to build capacity across europe. 3 ships carrying grain have left ukrainian ports for turkey. the 1st shipment since the start of the war left ukraine earlier this week, deals broken by the wind with turkey and russia. allow safe passage for the vessels and desperately needed food supplies for the world. adverse weather across asia is threatening the rice harvest and with an output of the world's most important food stable. it could stoke food inflation that is already near redcoat highs. asia are accounts for 90 percent of the world's rice output and germany line. lufthansa has agreed to a major pay rise for its ground crews ending

these energy by concentrating solar radiation by a factor of 3000 the resulting fuel can be used to replace diesel or even kerosene . so scientists are hoping it is one solution to the global aviation industries emissions problem. because when used the synthetic fuels only released as much c o 2 as they previously absorbed. it's an ambitious project, but proponents of the technology, se they hope to start producing in 2023. and that they already have a commitment from swiss international airlines. our goal is that by 2025 am to have the 1st full scale of commercial solar fuels plant in operation. we from production capacity of around 10000000 liters of methanol per year. the group says they've shown the process works outside the lab. now they want to scale up and work towards becoming a fuel alternative, not only for the aviation industry,

but maybe even the shipping industry. it's a big promise and with fuel prices and well temperatures rising. many are eager to see them succeed. indonesia is the largest palm oil producer in the world. it's used in soap, chocolate shampoos. but what about conditions that it was produced under child labor, environmental degradation, another's was enterprise had set out to tackle these very problems in indonesia. oh, sometimes even fruit can be stubborn. it's hard work for pack a man who has been working on this palm oil plantation on the indonesian island of sumatra for 5 years. the money he earns from the physically demanding work here provides a living for him. and his family colors. i thought that harvest yields 3 to 4 tons per hectare reach season gala monte block all along that his employer is one of indonesia is 120000 palm oil farmers who work with swiss star
