stop diplomat in germany. joints be in the studio for some mom says, ah, i'm british energy, welcome to d, w. news a shark edge. you could join us. china says it will quote, not renounced the use of force against taiwan to achieve re unification. the warning comes in a white paper on taiwan that china issued on wednesday. it runs off a week of the largest ever chinese military exercises around taiwan. they came in response to u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi is visit to the island. last week, taiwan responded to the chinese drills with exercises of its own and a warning from the islands. foreign minister, the china wanted to control lod swedes of the way and pacific.

so where does that leave relations between china and taiwan? to help us on to that, i'm joined the studio by taiwan, representative to germany sheer way researcher welcome a week of tit for tat military exercises later. where are we with ties between china and taiwan? but i used to live here on my nick. they tried to strangle to us, but we didn't give up all the freedom. and if i think of that attention overrun during the rockets into the oceans around. so i don't, i went in there would have been, it was a given karen or a rocket and i think we can study it again. yeah. but then it doesn't matter how many rockets are fired on. i will always out fire taiwan. do you think the level of tension between china and taiwan has increased now? show it is, but we're not a standing alone there where one of the allies, the so coach in the pacific strategic airlines with unique u. s. a. we need to trip when it's a u. k froze intervene,

but also we are near that by all these countries because we are, we are, we are holding that very key role playing a key role in the, in the pacific strategic lines that we are. we have a very good my good chip, industrial, we have democracy, so we need them and then need as they can not a road that i wouldn't become under the control china, all right, that's on the military has also warned court that it will continue to carry out military training and prepare for war. what happens if china tomorrow decides to blockade taiwan? then all the semiconductor industry that you're talking about gets blockaded. what happens then? yes, that means that we're, we're not the only one country who suffered and the liz liz, this broke it german usa all a word or to with who needs it. microsoft now could share that with suffer on that as so that wouldn't let that happen. are you certain that the world will come to tie ones if taiwan is to be threatened by china for an actual invision?

i spin exit very often. these kind of questions like what the americans would come over to help us. my answer is always no. they won't come because they are already there. if you take a look at close glance at that, what is the last 2 years that u. s. navy, the japan is australia. they are the already they are. so we are not alone. of course, we have to get prepared for anything like what happened in the last 2 weeks. i do want to talk to you about that, but let's talk about the preparations 1st. so where is taiwan? nod east, i want in a place in which it needs to prepared economically and militarily and foster the potential chinese envision. i think as we what that, as it's like an all rule men, proper sage is back in part of a room. if you want to have your freedom, you have to be prepared to fight for you or for you for your peace and freedom. and that's what we've been doing the last in the last yes. maybe in the last ticket you

have been doing that, but do you not think that the intensity of that has to increase the frequency with which you do that has to increase? so there is more of a pressure on taiwan is there not after these recent tensions, it is after admit it is, but we want it. that's another reason why we give up our freedom democracy. this over is of course there's always risk. we are, we knew it by the we are sitting in the same boat together. we americans, we sort of friends around would see didn't a boat and nobody rosabelle. right. but we will talk about that. but i would like to talk about the people of taiwan because everything that you're seeing is the risk for the people of taiwan as to what might befall them in the event of an invasion. and as we saw, and i'd like to show to you as a report that a colleague refers zachary li file from taiwan as to how the current around of military exercises impacted the people of taiwan. this

bomb shelters in these wins hose had been a store room for years, but no, she is preparing to use it again. the chinese military dream was near taiwan. have made war seemed like a real possibility to her. so and so ha, we need to clean it up fast so we can have a place to hide. if a war breaks out, it's safe to stay in here. you can see it is a solidly built shelter. lindsey small bum shorter was built nearly a 100 years ago. during the 2nd world war. she never expected to need it one day. she is not alone. li, increased monetary activity has rest concerns here in soft anti one. residents living nearly airbags are very used to the south of fighter aircraft by in the past few days, less they does more fighter jets are taking over a landing even at midnight. and this has arrest worries. here sharon sharon is one

of them following the news about the church and his 2 years has become a part of his daily routine. he has even asked his local administrator where the air is show to us. are you sure why we are used to chinese intimidation? he's been going on for decades. it's possible, but this time the drills are much closer to us or no one came here. this of course, has us worried in taiwan constance, abolish military crises asked lote racing. a low cost survey font that a 3rd of the taiwanese are worried about a possible conflict with china. some are even seeking medical help to deal with their in diety, psychiatrist yonce homes. he says his patient have increased by nearly 30 percent clinical powers and calls on one of my patients has experienced war. although yes,

and he feels stressed when he sees reports about the drills or the war in ukraine, fatal. nicole g. hi, he has nightmares and can't eat properly or more. oh no to numb some without by others of course the alien however, have taken attentions. india stay young by that many here, unarmed to chinese grades, but a father escalation he sees, could quickly upset that balance. mister share still with us other to taiwanese representative or through germany. you saw that report by michael. exactly. lever, researcher, all this began after nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. did that visit, make taiwan safer? that rico's me a new friend? i met the other day on the street. he introduced himself to me by saying hello among freight of germany. and i say, i'm afraid of china. yes, the straight wind

a text of china is for it. mean some of us. but it's wolfy is worth you that pelosi make these visitor. and we were coming in from the part of a heart because it was as sign of sample to sign off. so did they're ready. but you heard those are similar signs before me. my question to you is what just i wanna know now after nancy pelosi is visit about us commitment to taiwan that it didn't know earlier. the creation of china has had already already been there before the visit, the pelosi, maybe people hear these and know that much, but we experience that. that's the reason why parents said i came here, middle is a visit because i want to support our friends in a democracy who ass under this rating of china. so it's not the question is not so correctly. i would say, yes, we have known that equation of china and the china has show their real face. but

you just admitted earlier that the intensity of chinese military drills and the intensity of chinese belligerents has increased off of this visit. i'm just trying to understand how that helps i one that mix us that keeps us and bring us into the awareness of the real field of china. and i think is kit that we knew that they are tempted to us. they are going to attack us. i have known that most people are a little known. this is the tenement my 2nd 1989 on the 4th of july june. we know that will kill the people that we are attacked. i want, if they think is necessary that because they are readily with us, with military and west wrestling the without democracy. so just to be clear, you think that chinese invasion of taiwan it is not a question of if but when, when yet so clearly in the less than 10 years the chinese,

the chinese government has shown their real fairs not only to what i want, but it was a toward japan and also especially in the south china sea. that's the reason why there is these concept indoor pacific is strategic. allen's no more asia pacific. right. so a chinese attempt to invade taiwan to re unify with the mainland will succeed or will not succeed. no, no. and will not succeed because you have the indoor pacific around. do we have we hipped our own military? we are working very close. who is the friend never, it was never the countries are going to shots over the us hasn't committed that it will come with us troops to fight on the side of taiwan. they don't have to, that's the policy of ambiguity. and what they can, what is the don't come through and tie one is left alone to face china. we have to face that. the rent rollin i will, if you really listen out out guns, you out man 0 and they're going to pay

a big price so big that we do think it again. it's what it's worth it to a tech type one. and it, it can't the warranty unify as a re universe, whatever you say that you try to attract us. not a take us, but then john is not listening to these demands. is it? you're right, but let's see, i think is the is, is it kick against? we won't anyway, because we had met, we had met the development front from the detective dictator seeped you at democracy. so the feed a, we have the freedom speech, freedom of religion. and so on democracy we want to keep it up. let me ask your direct question. if you could answer that briefly. if the u. s. does not deploy us troops in assistance for taiwan in the event of a chinese attack and taiwan hope to be china back wait lists, guess i'm not sure. and to be realistic, to be honest, we have to see, but anyway,

we won't give it up. we won't get by just like below a pillows the she was threatened, she was wrath and so badly, and she didn't get up. and what happens? she visit fitness, you live with her once the is the 17th and china launched it a records and they come back to their normal life and i think we did a good decision. we leave it there. thank you so much for coming in mr. sheet. you're where i wonder i was a bit of to germany and that's all we have time for. thank you so much for joining us today on the dog. the news issue. ah. people in trucks injured when trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families with administrative people,
