scent tufts of china's leader season thing in california. both said that they want to improve relations despite lingering tension over issues, including taiwan. and they will have, will have more on that. in fact, this thing with us for data being is as you can my colleagues, your asp energy will take you through at the very latest time sarah kelly in berlin . thank you so much for watching the actually, we don't have a choice. so we have little time list to save the planet. so we have to do what we can as fast as possible. we only have one generation left just 25 years to implement the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial age . replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world without exception is

a global energy to information really cost of the fluid as well. or is it for our 2 pa, documented sri renewables revenue jobs november 25th, dw it avenue is a shock coming up to date. chinese peasantry, engine thing says re unification with taiwan, is unstoppable. she's on a visit to the us where he's met president joe biden, but he's a to show and business leaders. china won't start the war. so is an invasion of taiwan. off the table, we ask an expert plus flights rescheduled, and office timings changed. south korea pulls out all the stops as students at the college. for instance, exam the,

i'm going to expand it. you're welcome to the the news aisha i guide you to join us . chinese president, region thing has told his us count about joe biden, that re unification with the taiwan was unstoppable but added late to the china would not fight a cold or hot war with anyone. the comments came as both feet as met for the 1st time in a yeah, both also agreed to the store military to ministry communications between the countries. paging had said that the link last year after then how speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan. since then badging has steadily increased military pressure on taiwan. so the meeting between she and by them in san francisco in san francisco, i'm sorry on wednesday, came as welcome news for type a 3 by then don't hold the fact the president buys. and once again,

use the meeting opportunity with the chinese leader. to openly reiterate the us stance in some posts of the importance of maintaining peace and stability of the free taiwan straits means, the foreign ministry felt defend and welcome to go. we have never sought to predict weather when china might attack, and the strategy of government is clear, which is to concentrate on boosting defenses, making preparation, and winning international support. thank you though, to and when it comes to making preparations taiwan once it's people, n b gene to know that it's serious. the w's type on correspondent james j to reports, to the sound of them of the tree chain people filed in and out of she would be naval base in southern taiwan. the navy has opened its stores to show people how implants to present for that, showing all sign produced military hardware. and this ship is the start to show making it's public safety. the sean is and you, i'm to be as transport best. so the biggest of its kind,

taiwan has ever made. steel walker one home june. boat is dose it as much to take a look. i've come to support our national defense as we face threats from china. taiwan is awareness of the need for self defense is relatively weak. but if the military often holds events like this, it's a chance for people to become familiar with the navy, as well as our own national defense. then for the high media, welcome to take the navy's message around taiwan. beyond taiwan is defense, ministry has invited media to tool the 150 meter long best, so which already ends in service. earlier this year the aim to send a message to its people, but also badging that the island democracy is ready for me. it's a goal that's at the more pressing chinese. some of the tree insemination of taiwan has soared. in recent years on taiwan ships may face this, chinese aircraft carrier, the shunned on which recently transited the taiwan straits. it's a ship,

the tools any in taiwan is navy. taiwan to new home produce game may look flashy. but the gulf and defense capability with aging is fast, and it's widening. that's talking balance worries many in taiwan, including type tony. he used to be a soldier, but left the army, skeptical. it was possible ready size, regular units put too much emphasis on duty is unrelated to war. i'm worried, the army wouldn't be able to fight a war in its current state. so the what you could to draw attention to his worries. so he age around, the hard ones may not think to the way around. the 1100 kilometer wolf took 48 days. it was a one man warning of the threat posed by badging. taiwan has always been in a more precarious situation than other countries. for people here to have no

concept of national defense is really dangerous. the government is taking some action to make people feel safe. from next year, taiwan will extend the conscription period for man from 4 months to one year. for some more fundamental message on the pins, events like a reminder to taiwan. people of the threats that made the building warships like face necessary in the 1st place. and joining me not for more is amanda. sure. our, she's a senior china on list with the think tank. the international crisis group insurance. the not from type a new show change and paying toward business leaders in the us to try and i would not fight a cord or hot wall with anyone like old soviet donating to president biden, that re unification with the star one was unstoppable. does that mean taiwan doesn't need to bother you about the possible chinese envision any more as

well. i think that's one of the messages that she carried with him in to this meeting was certainly to try to reassure of washington and taipei dodge. an invasion is not plan in. it's not in the works for the near future. um, you know, now whether we can credibly believe dodge is another matter. i think in order to really kind of, we demonstrate that china does not have the intention to launch a military assault on tie one in the near future. what page it should be doing is to begin to roll back some of its military activities around taiwan. so i don't think that necessarily dodge, because she's anything i set it that the risks over taiwan high priest, but it has certainly contributed to

a more positive and stabilizing environment. but following this meeting, do think uh the us and china uh, clear out about where each way, but both the country stand in relation to taiwan. so i think that the fundamental difference is that the 2 sides have for taiwan remain un dot is unlikely to change any time soon. the 2 sides positions over taiwan have always had some differences. but you know what this meeting has really, i think created an opportunity for as for both sides to assure each other that there is no intention to overturn the status quote on taiwan. and neither side 6, a kinetic conflict over the issue. a tie one has in the recent arrows reassessed,

it submitted 3 strategy to counter china and the focus is now more on a symmetric welfare. is it moving fast enough? so on this to be able to deter any potential chinese aggression well, under the current administration of the time when taiwan has begun to take some positive steps in the right direction towards an asymmetric defense strategy, as you say, but more can and should be done. taiwan should be taking bigger and faster steps towards in a symmetric strategy in order to deny a swift chinese invasion. and to really make taiwan, which is already a mountainous island, into a, a more defensible fortress. essentially, that timeline is also headed to an election next to what from time on next lead uh,

have to do to reduce cross straight tensions as well. it's an interesting moment in time. one's a elections just yesterday we saw a big announcement from ty, ones on position camp, saying that they are willing to cooperate. and so this means that taiwan is election is now actually a competitive one and it's unclear who the victor might be. come january 2024, but as for reducing tensions, there are a number of steps that the next one use president can takes to help to signal their goodwill towards badging and their desire to reduce tensions. including signaling very clearly that typeface seeks to rescue dialogue with staging dialogue

has been frozen since 2016 and also. so the signal that they are interested in resuming some forms of cross rate cooperation at the exchange. but what's terminal here is that, you know, a reduction of tensions is not just, you know, entirely dependent on taiwan. it's also very much dependent on aging. wants to do as well. we leave it there for the time being, but thanks so much for joining us today. amanda show from the international of crisis group. thanks so much more than half a 1000000 students in south korea took the national university entrance exam on thursday. it prompted amongst other things, delayed office opening times, and rescheduled flights or so students weren't disturbed, was taking their tests to the

pressure on teenagers. but why that remains the gateway to the country's best education, doing well on it. really matters are not examples so well, that's it for now this most or is like this on our website. we can see here again, tomorrow the by the into the conflict zone with sim sebastian spots. you may need to talk to many of stuff as you possibly my guess this week is do we have to see how the people of does this today? we may have no idea. com. click on dw,
