and how denise become a forgotten, sil, pioneer ah, leaning, he finished and arnold fun between hitler and hollywood, 932. they sent out into the icy wilderness of greenland to create a life threatening film project that became a major milestone in their lives. love, seduction. and power ice cold passion starts october 8th on d, w. ah, this is d, w 's asia, coming out today, a visit to taiwan in the shadow of china, german m p. so they had to promote democratic cooperation. but is that old taiwan once and how to germany's ties with china change things plus, how caring for the elderly is becoming a business instead of the family affair. it used to be how to empower older indians

. ah, i'm painful. i'm glad you could join us. german lawmakers say chinese threats to tie one are unacceptable. visiting the island, they drew a parallel to russia's invasion of ukraine saying in europe, we've been experiencing a big neighbor invading a small one and trying to impose its will with military force. so what to the german parliamentarians hope to achieve. t w's chief international editor, richard walker. put that question to one of them till stephan from the ruling green party. it's important to attach to the, to the partnership we have, we have for many, many years. and in those times, it's absolutely important to show we, we are friends in the times and we go to the corporation. we happen many

topics. democratic, the health business at those topics are important and important to, to show our friendship to taiwan. now china is bitterly opposed to this sort of visit . we saw what, how angry they got when very prominent american politician, nancy pelosi was there just recently. would you say to the chinese who are going to be opposed to your visit to taiwan? is a democracy and it's important for us to, to be in contact to, to have cooperation with other democracies. and we think we can learn a lot from taiwan, for example, the cobra policy is quite different to germany and it's quite successful. and it's important to, to find out what, what the difference is that's important to, to learn about the hands of democracy. and i think there is something to learn from germany and the alpha, of course,

that are off topics that taiwan looks at germany. me, for example, i have been to title them some years ago when they wanted to establish some lay justice system. i could tell about germany, and in these times they have a late check the system, which is quite close to the german system. and so with important, doubtless cooperation, and i think china should not should not interfere in this cooperation because we strengthened democracies in germany in taiwan with this cooperation. have you had the chinese side say that you are doing in exactly that in interfering in china's internal affairs and breaching germany's own one china policy? a do c or b, your visit as being in line with germany, one china policy? are you committed to this policy of one china that does not recognize taiwan is independent. and it's important that we have this cooperation for many, many years already. and it's established that not the president of the bonus

tag is going to to, to taiwan. and not a, not a members of government, but it's an established corporation that we have this exchange of members of parliament. and so it's no breach of the policy we have for many, many years. it would be a change if we would hesitate the to taiwan in these times. and that's what that would be an important negative sign for ty, one, it wouldn't go. and there are any more in these times where china is threatening taiwan. the war in ukraine is being seen by many in taiwan, but also ran the world as a kind of wake up call for. ty wanted something similar could happen with the chinese invasion. do you see ukraine as a wake up call for tie? want, do you think the ukraine carries lessons for the world in approaching time? one, i think it's an important comparison because a grain was

a threat for russia because it rained showed a has a very common history with russia that showed that it's possible to have an open micra see. even if you have the history like the ukraine. and that's the same with taiwan, taiwan shows for people in china that it's possible to have an open micro c. and, and so it's not, not just the western thing to have a democracy like that. and so it's, it's, of course, an internet interesting lesson to learn. and i think it's also an example that many western democracies strengths, the democracy in ukraine. and so they do with time. and that's the hope we have with this. was it a very on richard walker there speaking with german m p till stephan? let's get the perspective from taiwan. w corresponded, brilliant young is in type pe. william took care of support for taiwan and strengthening democratic cooperation. what does ty one, what so for ty pay ever since the controversial visit of the

us house speaker, nancy pelosi in august, and then the subsequent chinese military exercise around taiwan. type a basically wants this tradition to be continued. busy so we were, we have already seen a french delegation that visited last month. and then after the german delegation visiting there are continued visits from different countries of foreign delegation, including the u. k, canada, and denmark and port type pay. they know that these publicity plays a very important role in terms of putting china accountable and also sending a very strong thick no to bay jane. time. one is not alone in this fight, and there are more and more international recognition and attention being put and paid to the aggressive moves that aging have been displaying across the taiwan strait over the last few months. and taiwan is important to germany on an economic

basis for trade. also for learning lessons like we heard there from the pandemic. but what would taiwanda like in return from germany? i think one of the key and top issue for taiwan based on my conversation with lawmakers here and also experts here. and they think that is a strengthening the bilateral trait ties. and they are hoping that may be some kind of discussion kim, be started through this delegation visit by the potentially exploring the possibility of establishing the bilateral trade agreement. of course, that is a years of steps that will have to be taken, but some of the experts even suggest if germany was able to actually take the 1st step with taiwan, it could even become the reference point for future e. you type one byler bilateral trade agreement, which the european parliament has actually been bring this up over the last few

months. what about the delivery of something like arms? i think for taiwan, they are, the current government is very practical. a bell. the possibility of essentially because the u. s. has the taiwan relations act that requires us to play that role, but there is no such law that exists in germany. and so i think the expectation of an actual on supply right now currently from germany is not off the top priority. but for time one, the most important thing is for berlin to actually continue to engage with time one at all levels. and with a very public statement and public engagement, and at the same time, having more substantial engagement and exchanges like the trade deals and trade relationships. because they know that once the supply chain between taiwan in germany was established, that it could potentially play an important role to get into the consideration in

terms of how germany calculates its relationship with china or how germany position is self in the in the pacific region. and does tie one worry that any german support could be held hostage to its relationship with china. i'm sure that's also definitely part of the consideration and calculation for type a when it comes to how deep and how it wants to really draft and position itself when it comes to engage with germany. because it's widely known that the german economy relies heavily on china and the chinese market. but with the new government that came in last year. there is also find that berlin is taking a little bit of a new pivot towards its approach in china and towards the indo pacific. so i think type a is a holding onto the hope that the new government in germany is going to focus

a little bit more on the value based diplomacy, which then is going to be able to play into the benefits of taiwan when it comes to the highlight of human rights and democracy we're, we've already seen the being highlighted and brought up in the conversation between the time when president time when and the visiting delegation this morning over here inside pe will young into pe the caring for india is growing. ranks of senior citizens is a challenge as lifespans rise, but with many younger indians working abroad. it also makes business sense. a whole lot of new firms are emerging, offering geriatric care, deed abuse, madeira county reports on coping with life in your twilight years. for roughly 9 years know the sunny's, i've been living by themselves after i bought this and settled abroad with their families. last year,
