i biggest fan that you welcome to the the news aisha. i'm glad you could join us. chinese presidents region thing has told his us gone to 5 joe biden, that re unification with taiwan was unstoppable but added later that china would not fight a cold or hot wall with anyone. the comments came as both feet as met for the 1st time in a yeah, both also agree to the store ministry to ministry communications between the countries. paging had said that 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. the 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 the fund and welcome to go. we have never sought to predict weather when china might attack. the strategy of government is clear, which is to concentrate on boosting defenses, making preparation, and winning international support, 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 percent for the showing all sign produce military hardware and the ship is the start, the 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, 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 stocking balance worries many in taiwan, including sites, only. he used to be a soldier, but left the army, skeptical. it was possible ready 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 and the what you could to draw attention to his worries. so he, i, to, around the hard ones, may not think the way around the 1100 kilometer will took 48 days. it was a one man warning of the threat posed by badging from 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 now for more is amanda shroud. she's a senior china list with the think tank. the international crisis group insurance, enough from type a is out change in paying toward business leaders in the us to try and i would not fight the cord or hot wall with anyone and also to you today. thank you. president biden. that re unification with the star one was unstoppable. does not mean taiwan doesn't need to bother you about the possible chinese invasion 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 type a 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 credibly demonstrate that china does not have the intention to launch a military sold on taiwan 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 dodd's, because she's anything. i set it that the risks over taiwan priest, but it has certainly contributed to

a more positive and stabilizing environment. but following this, we think, do think uh the us and china i cleared out about where each way. but both countries 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 us for both sides to assure each other that there is no intention to overturn the status quote on taiwan. and neither side seeks a kinetic conflict over the issue. a tie,

one that has in their recent arrows reassessed. it's a military 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 to 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,

timeline is also headed to an election next uh, what some time on next lead uh have to do to reduce cross straight tensions as well. it's an interesting moment in time ones, the 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 take to help to signal their goodwill towards badging and their desire to reduce tensions. including signaling very clearly that typeface seeks to read and dialogue was paging.

dialogue has been frozen since 2016 and also so the signal that they are interested in resuming some forms of cross rate cooperation and exchange. but what's too little 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 shaw from the international of crisis group. thanks so much more than half a 1000000 students in south korea took the master's university entrance exam on thursday. it prompted amongst other things, delayed office opening times, and rescheduled flights or so students want. this tab was taking their tests to the brushing to one of south korea's most important
