those turned into tiny house. really cool, guess deep conversations around the kitchen table and lots of music boxes. but i was tiny house because it does depend the 2nd on dw videos, aisha coming up today. i've been at john's the taiwan presidential race. fox gone, found the teddy gold is the latest to throw his hat in the lead us contest. but what are his john? so it is and how much does china loomed over the upcoming elections? the dish manager, welcome to the the news. a sure glad you could join us. building their fox gone, found the teddy goal has announced whose candidates are for tight ones. upcoming

presidential election go becomes the fault candidate to throw his hat in the ring. he made his fortune. turning, fox gone into the world's largest electronic supply. i think so. thing for apples. iphones, fox gone, has been huge factories in china and critics village. he has a cozy relationship with the leadership in beijing as an independent go is trying to position himself as a candidate who could promote peace between taiwan and china. it is, you know, this isn't seen in the d. p. a needs to be brought down by under the rule, over the past 7 years, the potty is did to i want to watch the danger of war highway. okay. they tie one was not become ukraine. we will go and i will not let taiwan decatur become the next year trying to get on the road. you probably can prevent showing them from attacking, try one by sacrificing my post unless it's,

i'm willing to become effectively work of the d p. p or democratic progressive party. the goal is criticizing is the party of taiwan president sign in one constitutional time limits. mean she constant for election for the time. so it's her deputy caught and vice president lighting to who is in contention based on him meeting supporters earlier this month in new york as he translates to the public with commonly known as william ly. he's going to be leading in the polls and he's also clear on who is to blame for the tensions we've paging. bullshit. and the global community understands the recent tensions and not because of president side or taiwan. but because of china, that'll go then of course china will be hoping to interfere with this election. i did with all kinds of tactics guys, it's awful. and if they succeed and go,

there will be an undermining of ty, ones, democracy by when the mean. so it says. ready shouldn't do a so full point. so let's get more context on how the taiwan elections are shaping up. i thought i paid correspondence. james. james james. let's talk about william ly fast. he's leading in the polls country. why is that? and what is his page to the people of taiwan as well? that's why it's uh, lighting does high one's vice president is currently needing and paused with roughly 35 percent of the votes that according to it, some of those polls. so really on this question that we have to remember the threat from china in some way color shades, nearly every aspect of taiwan is politics. lighting the william light has really positioned himself as the continuity candidates, the natural success, the, to the current president's hiding when. and she's someone who is really one praise in some nationally, some being very cool headed at high stakes. geopolitical moments intention with

china. lawyer said he wants to continue in that vein. he wants to continue to raise time one's international profile. well, navigating through really extremely complex jerry political was between the us and china. how does one explain the the p. b, leading and falls when just of the end of last year. the body performed very poorly in local elections, losing out to the opposition goldman time well, local elections are really a different ball game in taiwan. the issues where it says care about those elections a slightly different, they are more local, but when it comes to the presidential elections, the ever present threat from china comes to the friends incense. and once again, to explain why the t p are doing really well. it's important to remember that chinese intimidation of taiwan has increased dramatically over the past 3 or 4 years. just today we've seen 7 chinese jets across the median line of the taiwan strait in a on a daily occurrence now. and over the past year, we've had full scale military drills around taiwan,

including the souls being shot over to my pay. and that type of behavior has usually pushed people towards ty, one's governing policy with dancing p. mostly i think because of the lack of belief across the whole of society without making overtures to beijing is really going to less than those threats a tool. so we went out today actually and typing off people about this exact issue . so i feel that time when these people don't want war, but it seems that's not the case in china. the chinese communist party is different depending on these compared to taiwan. is the main source of cross straight tension . i want you to send the is the situation and so i wasn't really that tense for me . it's not too bad. it's all about how these issues are used by politicians sold by the sound of what woman barely and cheap. and i do see how neighbor, chandra, is good at emotional black miles. that's how this society works when we're young

and we might believe that showing the threats of what we should be scared of. but in the past few years, we know the real danger is being afraid of ourselves. this is james another candidate folks confound the attorney goal or seems to recognize what the people are saying. but blamed the d p. p for the state of tires between china and taiwan. what exactly is his plan to ease tensions as well, the key parts of terry correspondence actually signal things open. so dialogue with paging and important points to make it better. is that the routing policy that the people has stated that they're willing to talk with china beijing refuses right now . go was come. paying is really, it's tony to find by opposition to that governing call to. he says he wants to take down the routing policy and he makes the argument that it's a d p p 's actions. this ruling policy inside one is bringing tie one closer to war . when it comes to details about his exact plans or there's been relatively few,

a few details right now go, i think, is relying on the perception in taiwan. but he's a businessman that really understands china now this press so yesterday where he was announcing his kind of the thing he said, but he wanted an a rough uh, entrepreneurial route. and ty wants to come. and of course, this company he found it focused on has really deep connections with china, has been operating china for decades. is one of the biggest private employers in china in china. i think you'll be relying on that kind of business. why would also make the case that he's the best ones to manage relations been paging, but do people believe him given that he has this uh, deep uh, business interest with a china? or what is the question again? he responded, sir, yesterday he said he would be willing to sacrifice personal assets in china for the sake of taiwan, who has been a popular figure within taiwan. he's viewed as a symbol, that's why we need his business business success votes kind of course makes most of

well i think that was some supports of the support of the main or position policy, nickel and dime that were really disappointed when she didn't win the nomination. for that policy, but i think the skepticism and that kind of the concern about his kind of just the lives in this page that he can really run taiwan like a business. and one of his opponents has already come out and said that running a government is a very different prospect. again, our on typeface street. so they, we honest people what they thoughts about terry was campaign. yeah. and why don't see a group of relations with china? i'm more dense, but i don't know where to have entering the race is going to ease those tensions. we will have to see how things develop this because mobile fantastic will do. it has to die. ping people. so being guidelines president, he has an international perspective. so he can hit big time on to the world.

i think that within the body lacks an international perspective, but not the system scenario is not originally from the world of politics. at the moment he might be influential in business, but i don't think that he's influential in politics. even sounding with the greatest point of view on teddy go, james does 10 goals candidates are home, the opposition is john says agree with the d p. it wasn't in the pool of consent so, so the question is yes, the commercial bit of context here is a we already have a really, really packed presidential race here in taiwan with 3 main candidates. goal is the 4th now to enter. so it's very close as he wants to unite these on position policies to defeat, they're willing to pay. but most people believe what he's actually going to end up doing is splitting the opposition boards and actually ends up benefiting their building's ip even more. seems how important is uh,

this presidential election internationally, particularly for the united states, for instance, which is a close ally of a taiwan as well when it comes to the united states as perception of this hard when he is election. the official position, of course, is that they wouldn't make a statement of any type of preference when it comes to the election. they don't want to be seen to be interfering with the outcome of the selection. however, of course, you know that all concerns, i think that over the past 4 years as j political climate, when it comes to us, china, tensions has really, really shifted the rest of course, as certainly concerns if it's are and in the us china relationship when it comes to investment controls when it comes to of course, things like that fall in the semi conductor shapes of which taiwan is a really key manufacturer. and so i think when it comes to the us as perception of what the, the, the harmonies election, they're gonna want someone that is really going to be supporting the us position when it comes to these tensions been trying to. now it's not necessarily the case

of either of those policies will kind of go against the us once, but i think it's, it's fair to say that, you know, the us is one thing to it. and so maintain a fairly unusual position at the moment, given that i'm, you know, really have a few months left now and much more can still happen when it comes to the selection that i also, the consensus of opinion in taiwan is, is everybody united in the sense against the china and behind the d. p. piece position about continuing to be a solver an island and standing up to be doings intimidation or why think on the whole this harmonies public is in favor of, of, of position that kind of both those tie ones and strength themes of in china. or of course, you know, the t p p has had and so position kind of made expressed in these opposition parties. i think that has been some concern among supporters of opposition policies . it's, it's high ones approach to foreign relations and international engagement. for

example, within us with the issue and of allies like japan has endangered tie one's position even further. but i think it's fair to say that, you know, regardless of which political policy that people support here in taiwan, that they want to see a government that's willing to stand up for, ty, one's interest in the face of growing aggression from the aging. and i think that is a consensus across the political spectrum that regardless of which policy is in power, whether it's the routing to continue come january or another opposition policy that we're going to see. the same type of chinese kind of intended atria, tactics targets into wants tie one of course paging and signaled, but it's not willing to give up on its promise to what it cools were unified taiwan . so i think you know, that is consensus within taiwan. but the government, which ever color which of a positive has to be willing to stand up to the aging. now, we leave with dave with the time being, but thanks so much for joining us. so the james chair to being type
