international law and international practice. the drills are aimed at issue a warning to the perpetrators and punishing the taiwan independence. secessionist forces. china seized, i one as a breakaway province and visits to the island by foreign officials like us house because nancy pelosi has an affront to its sovereignty. as a consequence, china is now also spending cooperation with the us on issues including law enforcement and climate change going by. the u. s. secretary of state addressed the issue during his visit to the philippines of which is a key stakeholder in the region. we should not hold hostage cooperation on matters of global concern because of differences between our 2 countries. others are rightly expecting us to continue to work together on issues that matter to the lives and livelihoods of their people. as well as oral relations between the was do logistic, one means have nose dived and reasoned is and the consequences will likely be felt

far beyond the region. well, let's get more on this with d, w. 's, sherry chaney joins be in the studio. so sherry, what message do you think china's trying to send with these military exercises? so actually, every time they, it's a foreign visit to taiwan, china, it's never happy about this. and this is not the 1st time that they show response to foreign visit to child to taiwan. and so this military truth is a way to show that this pleasure to this faces. but then some l analysts also said that there's an internal reason for this because president c g p is actually seeking to continue or for his 3rd term. actually this kind of a very serious a military actions is a way to show how strong the nation is and to convince the people and what a strong leader he is. so, this internal reason also contribute to this,

the various action this time. so how is the government in tie one responding, what sort of counter measures are they looking at? so far, the taiwanese government has been on high alert all the time. they have been monitoring the actions from the chinese side. and for example, a responding to this morning's military exercises, and they have activated and land based missile systems. and they have also deployed air patrol and naval vessels in the sea area. so they also activated there wanting system. so whenever they are wall playing, so jets or, and, or, and naval base those that go close to the time and the surgery and they would issue wanting system. so basically they are on high alert all the time. and how worried are people in tie one? i mean, there must be quite a lot in terms of the impact and the effects that it's having now on people

economically, and also security far as security wise. so interestingly, when you look at the global media coverage about this event, and a lot of people would have thought that an insight on people must be panicking or, and feeling very anxious. but actually, when i talk to people in taiwan, including our colleagues who work in taiwan and live in taiwan, and it seems like life is inside the island. it seems quite normal. people carry on with their daily lives as usual. and they're also even some videos showing that ok, people actually enjoying the weekend, they're bringing all their families to parks. and it's not to say that they are not worrying. but it's just that it's not as, as anxious as how the media coverage has been portraying ok. and then just finally, what do you think would help now to try and de escalate the situation? that's actually a $1000000.00 question because both the chinese side and the top on the side,

they have show a really strong reaction towards each other. and also because, and this escalation was actually brought by the visits um, pelosi or from the usaa in many situations like this is usually a 3rd country or the u. s. o. international community who would help the escalate the situation. but this time maybe it's slightly different and we'll have to see. yeah, we'll have to keep a close eye on that story. cherry chant, thank you very much indeed for your time. now columbia is preparing to swear in a new leader, former gorilla fighter. gustavo petro will be its 1st left wing president. he's promised to reshape the polarized country with a raft of reforms like reducing reliance and fossil fuels and improving conditions for indigenous people. despite a bitter election campaign, he's established alliances with other parties and his popularity has sought. t w's
