give you some of the latest the footage shared by chinese media. we understand a 21 chinese warplanes passed through tie ones at defense identification zone. according to beijing, military sources drills will include non nuclear missile launches from the sea east of the island territory that include alive, fire exercises on coordination between warships destroy, is and fight a gen a taiwanese islands also have said now to be put on full combat alert china had already warned washington of serious consequences of the u. s. a diplomat. visual uses, the china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speakers visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side in the taiwan independence, separatist forces, ah,

such are you some pictures from the song, shine airport in taipei, a regional and military base where nancy pelosi is playing right there arrived earlier. the flight trucking website, a flight rate off. so the number of people around the world watching a jet on line, reached 700000 reported record figure for that tracking service that's below see right there in a pink pen suit in mass coming down. the run pop stairways of the airplane. she stepped off at about $1050.00 p. m local time. and 1st things 1st you got to pose for a photo with a group of time when he's officials apollo. she said that her visit is evidence of the u. s. commitment to support taiwanese democracy. pelosi has become the highest

ranking american official to visit the self ruled island and 25 years. well, the white house, meanwhile, has stated that a dialogue between washington i'm basing will be kept open. the us won't be involved in any military conflict with china. the united states will not and does not will not seek and does not want a crisis. we are prepared to manage wellbeing chooses to do. at the same time, we will not engage in sabre rattling, we will continue to operate in the seas in the skies of the western pacific. as we have done for decade, we will continue to support taiwan. defend a free and open indo pacific and seek to maintain communication with beijing. however, at the same time it was earlier said that whitehouse was saying that the us will not allow itself to be intimidated and will take all the necessary measures to ensure the safety of nancy pelosi at washington. has the rather i'm privileged position towards china or officially call this one china policy does acknowledge

beijing is the only legitimate government for the whole of china. that includes tie one. however, that along with calls for the peaceful resolution of the taiwan issue has not prevented us from maintaining an official relations with ty pay. washington enjoys selling a lot of weapons to the island, which he has said to us needs to stop playing the so called tie one cod this is a serious violation of the one china principle. there is but one china in the world tie one is an inalienable part of china's territory. china strongly urges the united states to stop playing the taiwan card and using taiwan to contain china. one china policy has been a definitive aspect of us signer relations for the past 40 year. but today's visit by nancy pelosi seems to put all of that on the brink of destruction. the one china policy is that the united states acknowledges the people's republic of china as the

one chinese government on the mainland. it does not have diplomatic relations with the government on time one than an advocate, taiwan being peacefully reintegrated with the mainland into one giant. now it appears that despite the fact that nancy pelosi has gone to taiwan, the white house and john kirby and others that us state department are maintaining that the one china policy does in fact, remain intact with us. they are not backing away from that. however, we're seeing signals to the contrary, a lot of action by the united states and the lead up to today's big of that have indicated that the u. s. the one china policy may be on the brink of being revoked . this is what we heard from a representative of the american institute in taiwan observing recent trends, the united states no longer sees taiwan is a problem in our relations with china. we see it as an opportunity to advance our shared vision for a free and open in the pacific and also as

a beacon to people's around the world who aspire for a more just safe, prosperous and democratic world. now you have the visuals in 5th, they are not wavering on the issue of taiwan. however, it doesn't help when you have the president of the united states making remarks like this. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that? yes, you are, that's a commitment we made. now we see us official giving mixed signals almost as if they're not talking to each other before they make their statements or engage in their actions contradictory messages being sent by washington. the world is quite nervous about this, as they fear it could push things onto the brink of another global crisis. let's learn more about this right now and across lives. your political analysts alessandra, bruno who's joining us here on our team to national a very good evening to you. so thanks so much for coming on the program. today. we are already getting the video showing china doing military drills in the region of

taiwan. it wasn't just yesterday, it's also in the oven. i'd hours is now about 8 minutes past 5 o'clock in the morning, and that part of the world right now. what are the possibilities, alessandro that something could escalate overnight and into the morning hours. we know that the u. s. the sale the u. s. s. a ronald reagan carrier aircraft group into the region. is it possible that could ultimately be some sort of head, but thank you, right. i don't think there will be an immediate reaction, at least direct action against the united states. china is definitely going to carry out military drills to show what it's capable of, and particularly in that region. but i don't, i think china's response will be more concentrated then nancy pelosi visit was because it is a clear publication whose purpose is really cannot be

described in any other way as a provocation. so i think china's retaliation will come, but it and it may not necessarily be military. the china has several economic weapons and she could use for starters, got a good. so you have a reserves, and he was dollar down offer to buy more resources in the currencies that are now coming up, including the rubel. so there are lots of economic tools that china can, can use. and i think the jim ping plays a better chess game than the u. s. so they won't allow themselves the mistake of re responding without some calculation. why?

when it was, i went to johnson elementary and i do apologize for interrupting you. but, but i wanted to ask you about that because we, we had an analyst a bit earlier in the program who said, look, when it comes to taiwan, china is not going to do anything. this guy said he said china already controls tie while he has nothing to lose the situation. he has nothing to do military against taiwan. did you think that's an accurate statement? well, that's the thing in china has lots of commercial for ties to tie 1. 1 of the most important things, in fact that taiwan makes, and perhaps it's the world leader is a computer chip. and we've just come from the 2 years of the pandemic when computer chips became so scarce that it slowed down the entire automotive industry worldwide . so i don't think that and china relies on many of these chips. i believe that the chips that go into huawei, china's big telephone telecom, manufacture are,

are made in taiwan. so they need the item to remain productive. and, and as part of china, i don't think we'll, we'll engage in a kind of military attack that will harm the island ability to, to, to make a living. let's say if i mean it treats taiwan as it does hong kong ngs in gen. ed . so it will, the of the actions will be the, at the retaliatory action will direct, will target the us and china knows it cannot target the u. s. directly yet. so it will use a diplomatic framework and which could be a swift action diplomatic action even in the air in the pacific region, just as it did a few months ago in the solomon islands. and fact, i believe that this move, if there is any explanation of the alpha,

nancy pelosi is move, which to white house could have banned. even though the white house is not standing behind, what we can is, every is response. as a response to china, a, something you're saying basically at the end of the day that china is likely to do something on economic front than it is to engage in any type of military head. but with, with america, i wanted to mention what you said about taiwan being the world's biggest producers of chips and semiconductors. it's not just china that gets it semiconductors from taiwan. but america, nate, so that you know, they all get that military chips and the communication semiconductors from taiwan as well. so that tiny, tiny island is a crucial little piece on the global chessboard. isn't it? alessandra? yeah, it's, it's a crucial piece. and now, one thing i want to mention that the timing of the visit and this strange,

really absolutely pointless. strange timing of the assassination of a layman. i was the wrong city in afghanistan. yes. that the news that surprised everybody. all of us that this guy was supposed to have died several times by the way into in 2020. he was also supposed to have been killed. that's right. of a sudden the pull out the i'll kind of card look over here and then nancy pelosi land and also come just a few days after biden and never had a conversation including the exchange of prisoners or the, the basketball player was now he's not magically important to visible, but i think there's something going on in washington. i think there is a strategy now to stop supporting the war in ukraine and ship to taiwan. you're talking about this, you're talking about a destruction alessandra. that's what it sounds like. to me. you're saying that america wants to distract away from domestic issues and,

and have people focus their attention elsewhere. yes, either it's a distraction, but it's also a way to extricate itself. it's also a way from washington to extricate itself from the major support it's given ukraine . in fact, we've seen a bit of a slow down, even though our weapons have been promised, but this money apparently is not forthcoming. because presidents it is, he's insisting, i think it's an extra way to estimate. so from the war in ukraine, which risks becoming far more explosive for the world and focus? it's attention now on china and the pacific. because now the, the one ukraine europe is the winter is coming up with all the allies in europe are quietly, i'm sure, complaining about what they will have, what it suddenly waking up, alessandra suddenly, waking up to the fact that russian energy is the backbone of a european economy without russian energy. there is no european economy. i wanted

to ask you, what will i still got? you hear? you talk about distractions going on around the world. i mean, some people say there are 4 at least 4 flash points that america is involved in. right now, taiwan, ukraine, soviet, kosovo, and iran. and then, and then if you look at the position, the geo, the geo, the geographical, excuse me, position of china to china is an eastern coast northeast, eastern southeast there, american military bases in that region. there are so many american military bases, in fact, china's eastern flank is entirely dotted with us. space is how it, how does china feel about that? well, i mean, again, speaking of distractions, all of europe is dotted with u. s. military bases. if any european country and now involved in ukraine, tobacco wanted to pull back for that policy, they would have to contend with the fact that the u. s. soldiers troops on their ground. so the situation is it's very us through control world

military. and i think china understands this, which is why i don't think it will make any moves which will cause a retaliation because i understand with interest or at. but alessandra once again that we were hearing about red lines, red lines. alexandra putin was talking about this for years and years and years rushes read lines with nato one is border with possible ukrainian accession and all these eastern european countries, putting nato missiles along russia's borders. we heard of our putin's red lines, his request work, gnawed for years. now we've heard about china's red lines and guess what? they're apparently being ignored as well. but the, in the case of ukraine, there was a good proxy. in the case of china, taiwan is an integral part of china and the conflict would be direct us chinese. there wouldn't be a proxy battlefield in which to, to you to sacrifice what i mean after all, ukraine is sacrificial lamb. in this war between the rest and,

and russia. but in the case of taiwan, it would be directly to china would be directly red immediately from the, from the beginning there will be no proxy. so this is, i think this is the difference between the red line and i think the u. s. has crashed enough red lines for one year or 2 and china will retaliate where, where, where they know it can hurt new terribly doesn't have the power yet. or i strike back us alexandra bruno political analyst are joining us live on ought international law, special coverage of, of the crisis in taiwan to really appreciate your view. that fascinating perspective. thanks for your time. thank you. thank you. thanks for your time as well for joining us. her naughty international just a bit earlier in this program, i did discuss policies, visit a taiwan as a part of her whole asia tour with a corresponded rachel blevins. hello. she's finally touched down there. you know,

even an, even in the face of all of this rhetoric from china, hello, she apparently had to make her visit. what are your expectations now that she's here? you know, she released that statement right after she touched down and which she claim that she was there to support were she referred to as ty, ones of vibrant democracy. she also went as far as to say that she does not believe that she is in violation of the one china policy, which is absolutely not how beijing sees it is not what they have worn again and again, when it came to the lead up to this proposed visit now as far as her itinerary for while she's there, there are a lot of questions about what it's going to look like because her team did not initially say that this was the plan, right? they gave her list of places that she was going to visit in asia, and taiwan was not on that list. so there are some questions about who she's going to talk to when it comes to officials. and of course, what she's going to say while she's there, given the fact that we now have these tensions increasing between the us and china

all around exactly where polo c is right now. now it was also notable that she talked about democracy there because it makes you wonder how do the people of taiwan, steve is a visit. and what we've heard is from people on the ground there who say they are concerned about the long term impacts of policies, visit that will play out and impacted them. long after she has returned to the united states, take listen to what was said, but it's all about the interest. they use taiwan. they, they use that your political mom measure to to benefit them. so they only care about how the government can be holding to powers. it is in their, in them states. so they just used high one to get their attention for domestic market from good hello. see touch china's bottom line. she touch the red

line. so both of us and china have to take actions accordingly. only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit. that's all i hello sees visit will add tensions across the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life policy talking about taiwanese democracy, taiwanese democracy here, and you hear some of the comments from the locals as saying they're really concerned because this is, it's flaring an awful lot of tension between the 2 biggest players on the well blog these days. so yeah, it is curious as the kind of rhetoric that's coming out of close his mouth these days. how is the how speaker actually really justify? well, you know, we haven't heard much from her in terms of what she believes is the justification for this visit. even with that statement that she released just a couple of hours ago. but in all of this, it's also been notable to see how the white house has responded to this, right? you get president biden, who himself has admitted that the u. s. military did not think this trip was

a good idea that they were concerned about the ways in which it would increase tensions between the us and china, exactly as we have seen. and then at the same time, you also had secretary of state lincoln who spoke out and said that the decision was entirely up to nancy pelosi herself. and you think about all of the possible ramifications that could come out of this between the world's 2 largest economies. and yet you have the white house sitting there saying it is the speaker of the house who is allowed to make this decision and to do something that would lead to the current tensions that we're seeing. and yet when we've looked back at the statements that nancy pelosi has me and she's kind of shrugged it off and downplayed the situation to say the least pickle is, know what she said earlier. the president, earlier well, earlier in his term talked about a strong emphasis on the asian pacific. he, he has visited there as vice president visited, the secretary of commerce and others. and we were the congress of the united states

to be part of that initiative. of course, as a west coast person, we see that pacific as they're, you know, that they're their home, we're part of that as well. so you can see there, she's almost shrugging it off as if it's. 2 no big deal, she's just going to see more of the pacific ocean. and yet we look at all the ramping of tensions that we've seen between the u as in china right now. that makes you wonder if she truly realizes, be impacted this visit. let's, let's take the politicians rhetoric out of the equation for now. rachel, what's, what's the general view in america regarding this whole thing? yeah, there seem to be more questions than answers as to why policy is embarking on a trip like this, right? with everything that's going on in the u. s. right now with the american people who have repeatedly said that they're concerned about skyrocketing gas play prices, about inflation, about all of the issues they have going on at home. they're wondering why the speaker of the house is making a trip like this and why she's costing the american taxpayers millions of dollars

in security in order to make this possible. and that really is reflected in some of the voices that we're hearing speaking out now. questioning why now, why this trip and why is this something that blows embarked on? here's the latest on that. nothing good will come of it. taiwan will not be more secure or more prosperous as a result of this purely symbolic visit. and a lot of bad things could happen. these include a chinese military response that could result in the u. s. being plunged into in direct conflicts with a nuclear armed russia and a nuclear armed china. at the same time this week with the blessing, the by the ministration, nancy pelosi decided to head to taiwan. it's all been confirmed at this point, government officials and ty pay have just been notified that policies rival is imminent. you may be in the ear right now. she's definitely coming. one source told the wall street journal. the only variable is whether she spends the night. so nancy pelosi goes to ty, pay, what's the effect of that? well, we don't need to guess the chinese government has,

has said repeatedly and clearly that if nancy pelosi lands in taiwan, it could trigger a global war. are you here to provoke a wall or to start a wall? what the hell are you doing here? hello, see? so we've heard a reaction out of beijing. we've heard a bit of muffled reaction out of washington dc. what about the rest of the world? it's rather quiet at the moment we have any other international reaction to that. yeah, you know, it was interesting because earlier this week when policy was in singapore, the premier, there actually said that the focus needed to be on maintaining stable relations between the united states and china. that that was something that was in all of their best interest in the region. at the same time, we've also heard from moscow a spokesperson for the kremlin, spoke out and referred to this trip as extremely provocative, noting that russia stands with china and also that moscow understands that frustration that is coming to from beijing when it comes to this visit in the fact that the united states has continued to carry out. so certainly

a lot of moving parts here, a lot to keep an eye on and these consequences will likely be felt long after this visit is over. you think is any chance said nancy pelosi could actually get stuck there because in the coming days i saw a picture of a map that with china basically published and said, we're going to be doing these live fire drills on the west side of taiwan on the east side of taiwan to the north and south in the coming days. is it possible that policy could actually get stuck, that? you know, that's an excellent question. at the same time, we've seen the u. s. military really focus on trying to build up some sort of buffer zone, but you're right, that is china's reason that is right in their backyard. and so if they wanted to make it difficult, they arguably could. now the question is going to become what they decide to do, and of course, how the united states decides to react if the by an administration is really going to step in and ramp up tensions even more than what they already are at right now. no ahead of policies visit a group of locals gathered outside the grand hyatt hotel and pe city where she sang a protest, i waved flags and shouted slogans. they made their feelings pretty clear about her

arrival on the island. though we spoke with nelson was the vice chairman of the shanghai santa fe, or rim pack and international studies. he believes that posies trip is a provocation by washington, and it will come with consequences. it is actually the, the us, the american arrogance that is playing with fire is leveling into the domestic affairs of another country. and in this case, it is china. everybody knows that taiwan is part of china. this trip itself is going to be a symbolic one. only, and it's us what, it only serves her personal interest. this has consequences and has repercussions. so that's why china is, you know, making quite drastic reactions. it hurts the feeling of the chinese people. i think this incident will be marked in the history of us china relations, not as

a positive one, but as a very disastrous point. this is not only a national thing for china, this us era goes this american arrogance pools, handling relations with other countries is not acceptable in this 21st century. and this is something i think the rest of the world should come to realize the ramifications of policies visit have already been felt in the local financial markets and shares fail and semiconductor manufacturers and tie one of course on the home of the larger such companies in the world overall, taiwanese stock stopped around 2 percent the biggest fall in 3 weeks, or the unprecedented visit of the us house speaker brought down the values of a number of industry giants. in addition, the fallen stocks is not only felton's high one, but also with other global semiconductor manufacturers as well. well,

earlier in the program, my colleague unit and we'll discuss the situation there in the taiwan with a pair of guess. i will listen to this. we americans love annoying, although we are smoking our fingers and grow their eyes from that shows that we are number one and we don't even realize that we are 6. we do this because it makes us feel good. it's part of the informational war, and it's part of the penal for the it is feeding into the of the chinese as we have been led to clear russia and fear of russia, et cetera. so by definition, we're the good guys, and we're finding the good work, i don't believe is how and these are buying, and the rest of the world is not buying it. latin america is not buying it. neither is india and of course, not rush hour,

russia and many other countries in europe with china, apparently not carrying the military maneuvers in the area. is this historically recently, at least the closest we've come to a major incident between the 2 powers? yes, absolutely. so keep in mind, this is a show of force, china needs to do something. china doesn't want to lose face e, nancy, but it was, it goes to taiwan. something needs to happen, even if the u. s. is thinking that china bluff, it's making a huge mistake. international community would not point directly finger at the us and say that ultimately if there's a refund, who response the response would come from china. so it's, it's just, it's be all quantity coordinated. it's not, it's not a private enterprise of nancy pelosi what they want to do in asia to flight china,

to the last time when nice. they will have other countries biting the wars on behalf of the u. s. one could also was just as alfred alluded to their how helpful this is for the tie when these themselves is there an argument to be made that they could be less than a much more tense environment than before despite but pelosi is trying to achieve our see she wants to do, keep in mind that one is actually the fact to economically integrated with china. so you have a de facto integration. it is going against how want interest, why that's wrapping up the cost for this top. how here live on our international from the heart of moscow. thanks for joining us here. a paula split my colleagues at the desk and half an hour time with more, i'm hello, see, and taiwan, and the rest of your worldwide use, the .
