anxious over the u. s. health because trip members of the public told us the us just wants to spread its pro and influence not help them for them to lucy touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just to use tie one to get our attention for domestic market place he's visit will add tension to cross the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with hello and welcome to our international book coming to live for my headquarters here in moscow for me and the team. thank you very much for joining us. china has begun military drills and areas surrounding ty, one that's in response to the visit of the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi to tie pe . he has some of the latest footage shade by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes

passed through ty, one's a defense identification zone. and according to beijing, military sources drills will include a non nuclear missile launches from the see east of the island territory. that also include live fire exercises and coordination between warships and fight aircraft. ty, ones, islands are said to be put on full combat alert. as chinese media are flooded by alleged for teachers of military preparations. china has already worn washington of serious consequences of the us because visit china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity . in response to the us speakers visit. all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side and the taiwan independence separatist forces. ah,

these are pictures from function airport in taipei, a regional the military air base way. nancy pelosi arrived earlier. the flight tracking website flight re dos a, the number of people following her, checked reached a 700000 people. i called figure for the service wearing a face mask, the us house because of the pain at around $1050.00 p. m local time. and in post a photo with a group of taiwanese official, she said, visit has evidence of the u. s. commitment to support taiwanese democracy. policy has become the highest ranking american official to visit the self of island in 25 years. the white house, meanwhile, has stated that

a dialogue between washington and beijing will be kept open and that 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 and the skies of the western pacific. as we have done for decades. we will continue to support taiwan, defend a free and open in the pacific, and seek to maintain communication with beijing. sense of switched recognition from ty paid to beijing. washington has held and ambivalent position regarding china and taiwan. it officially acknowledges beijing as the only legitimate government for the whole of china, including taiwan in line with the one china policy. but this is not prevented us from maintaining unofficial relations with ty pay, and sending military aid to the island. china says that the time has come for the

us to stop the plane, the 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 tie one cart and using tie one to contain china. one china policy has been a definitive aspect of us china 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 sign of policy is that the united states acknowledges the peoples 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 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 statement 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. earlier i spoke with political analyst courteney, who says pelosi visit to taiwan is a contradiction of the u. s. held one china policy. i think that's because it does, and these statements do contradict the one china policy do contradict official us policy statements. and i think the united states has kind of walked a type rope ever since the recognition of the people's republic of china. i believe that the recognition of the people's republic of china as the sole representative, the china and the chinese people, was done less out of respect for common sense and decency. and the republic of

china is so small, in comparison to the norms of international law, which dictate successes, states clearly states that the people's republic of china should be the only successor states. there is kind of this push for a new cold war. and this policy that we've been, the one china policy is kind of one of the last bastions of peace and tranquillity, between the united states and china and the united states and the rest of the world early. and i collie bowie. she discuss policies as a to tie one with a correspondent, rachel blevins. hello. she's finally touched down there. you know, even an, even in the face of all this rhetoric from china. hello, she apparently had to make a visit. what are your expectations now that she's here? you know, she released that statement right after she touched down in which she claim that she was there to support what she referred to as taiwan, the 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 lucy 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 you political mom measure to, to benefit them. so they only care about how the government can be holding the power it is in them states. okay, so they just used high one to get their attention for domestic market from good lucy 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. play sheets visit will at tension across the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. i really hope that the americans will not come around to mess things up so that we can live at 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 tensions between the 2 biggest players on the well blog these days. so yeah, it is curious as the kind of rhetoric because that's coming out of follows 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, it's me and she's kind of shrugged it off and downplayed the situation to say the least table 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, 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 no big deal. she's just going to see more of the pacific ocean, and yet we look at all the ramping of the engines that we're seeing between the u

as in china right now. that makes you wonder if she truly realizes the impact of 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 pelosi 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 gasper 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 and 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 conflict 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 decide to head to taiwan. it's all but confirmed at this point. government officials in taipei have just been notified that policies arrival is imminent. should we be in the air 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 taipei, 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, is 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 not 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. do you think any chance of nancy pelosi could actually get stuck there? because in the coming days i saw a picture of a map that would china basically publish. and so we're going to be doing these live fire drills on the west side of taiwan on the east side of taiwan in the north and south in the coming days. is it possible that polosa could actually get stuck,

that he 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 tensions even more than what they already are at right now. well, let's get on the latest developments from investigative journalist. it would result . and so much for joining us. the u. s. committed to the one china policy back in 1979. is that commitment, deteriorating now with the strip or certainly say so the empire that made that commitment to china is waning when you look at the actions and there frivolous actions that, that i think the correspondence and the analyst. ringback you shared in this segment really lay it out. there is nothing to gain for taiwan, nothing to gain for america. we have everything to lose. we go back to the,

the empire, america, the country we've now to project our power throughout the world to our military. your or grand economy to the petro dollars you to swiss banking system, for many of the leverages of power that we saw use against, for example, like russia, empire, that was contending in ukraine. contending our influence there, we lost them, we lost, i guess they were lost in your grade. i think any, any honest analysts would tell you that now we have something far more serious. we have another example of the united states overextending itself. me for example, with nancy pelosi, i think all this is, it was a high, a high cost distraction as opposed to knows that the average american can't even point out where taiwan is on a map of most americans would say i care more about the discontent, the lack of democracy at home, the 50 percent of a population of believe in the election system anymore. ok. but passes the cost of

food, the cost of fuel. these are the things that after americans care about, but then we see nancy pelosi taking a little bit of a vacation around the world and at a time when trying to has nothing to nothing but to gain from doing a bowl. churchill, now they get the entire world to concentrate on sure what their motor is capable on that specifically, i saw the exclusionary zones. i saw the areas where they're going to be doing life are excited. the one that i'm very, very intrigued to watch, is being long range missile exercise. show us, 1st of all is the child is able to project our own country. i want to be the front on the doorstep. you're going to see the use of futuristic take interest, but high technology, long range, ballistic missiles. they are going to use this is the firing mechanism for many of the indirect farther to show up. and the reason going to do this is because the united states, as a counter to it, we have no coverage either hypersonic missile in the long range, ballistic missile,

as shown by our lack of response or deterrence in ukraine. do you consider this to be a direct interference in china's internal affairs? a 100 percent, a 100 percent. i see this as a direct interference. what would america be saying if china was trying to send a top officials to puerto rico or to cuba or to mexico? made people forget about the zimmerman. telegraph one, the germans were allegedly communicating with mexico. try and inside the mexicans to invade the south of our country to deter our intervention. and may the weakness distract us. china is not going to operate freely in our hemisphere, that the rhetoric of both parties. i thought it intriguing today that mike from pale, for example, shared, you know, nancy pelosi going over to taiwan to weaken their security position because time one has no recourse, right? sorry for the average time when the individuals are same on social media, i see the entities going on going on right now. many of the time these people are saying, what are you bringing to our doorstep?

the chinese are an empire where but, and i went to the point of a 100 and it's gotten contradiction to those. and on top of that, the time when you need to understand one primary thing they are closer to china than they are america. they're not necessarily speak english as a 1st language. there are many english speakers my island, but they are chinese by culture, chinese by region chinese, by the location to i think they need to respect this. need to be open to potentially preemptively. ready surrendering don't make the same mistake. ukraine made ukraine tried to fight, and they've lost both promise infrastructure their 3rd world country, and also the united states. never in to help past weaponry and some mercenary. you mentioned there the situation in ukraine. there are many in china, of course, who think that this is a crossing of a red line. so do you see any similarities in the lead up to the ukraine crisis with what we're seeing now? i do because in ukraine for example,

it didn't just happen in february and march. this goes back to the orange revolution that c i backed in that country with taiwan. this goes all the way back to the initial recognition. partial recognition, where we tried to intervene in the sense that time one is going to be a protectorate of the united states. that's essentially what it is. the taiwanese people are a colony of the united states, in the sense that they rely on us for protection or atlanta for trait semiconductor factories. there have been great for our company, we maintain access. but the problem here with comparing the 2 is, this is actually an addition in addition to it, i see this in addition because with ukraine, the last grain and fuel sort of the u. s. economy into a tailspin with taiwan. we risk ourselves who can access to computer ships for our car as for our technology, for our own weapon system. think about how silly this is. if we go ahead and continue to aggravate the dragon, the primary. ready superpower region, china. ok. they are an empire game. them. ok. we risk losing access to the very

ships we use for our missiles or a satellite or weaponry. we're shooting ourselves in the woods and we have no recourse against the white house stated that it will maintain dialogue with beijing . do you think that china will actually want to talk to the united states off to this trip to tie one? i think it's in chinese interest to maintain a trade relations with united states for one of the primary trade partners, even with the bombastic and walk rhetoric, i think the chinese people would love for a win win trade deal, such as what president trump during his administration. was pursuing ok. good chinese are pragmatic. i think they're very, very skilled and thank god god, but they have the temper and a temperate they don't want to push for a war. the chinese could have a many occasions responded with hypersonic missile well passed a military job. i don't think for a 2nd that our aircraft carriers are while they sail in the south pacific. see,

but here's the thing that's trying to see is not going to be to turn against our response. think chinese or show nothing but kind of a piece and responses. they are going to move through joe's. but the chinese have been the responsible party, the adults in the room while the united states has been belligerent child who keeps poking in. busy and all the serious adult superpower, just want to train them and maybe control their own region of importance, or the united states is waning and unable to control even our own cities. edwards al investigative journalist, thank you very much for your time and that in science, published well ahead of policy visit. a group of no calls gathered outside the grand hyatt hotel in type paste city, where you staying on the trip, but just as wave flags and shouted float them as they made their feelings clear about having her in town. now some one will be vice chairman of the shanghai center for one peck and international studies. but he's the pillow. his trip is

a clear provocation by washington that will come with consequences. it is actually the, the us, the american arrogance that is playing with fire is meddling 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 just what it only serves her personal interest. this has consequences and a has repercussions. so that's why china is, you know, making a quite drastic reaction. 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 local financial markets. shades fell in semiconductor manufacturers in tie one, the home of the largest such companies in the world. over all time and he stocks dropped about 2 percent. what is the biggest fall in 3 weeks? the controversial visit of the us? how speaker vote down the values of a number of industry giants. and in addition to fall in stocks was not only felt in tie one, but also with other global semiconductor manufacturers. earlier my colleague unit eniela discussed the situation with alfred zaya separate face of international law

. and angela will yonah a political and financial analyst. we americans love annoying. 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 pino, full, the, it is feeding into the fear of the chinese as we have been led to fear russia and fear of russia that are. so by definition we're the good guys and we're fighting the good. what i don't believe is how and these are buying it, and the rest of the world is not buying in 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

a 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 sure force shana needs to do something. shanna doesn't want to lose face, it was a cause to taiwan. something needs to happens 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 reform response, the responsibility would come from china. so it's, it's just, it's been all quality coordinated these, it's not, it's not a private enterprise. he of nancy pelosi, what they want to do in asia is to flight china, to the last taiwanese, they will have other countries fighting the was on behalf of the u. s. one could

also ask, just as alfred alluded to their how helpful this is for the taiwanese themselves. is there an argument to be made that they could be left in a much more tense environment done before despite what pelosi is trying to achieve or see if she wants to keep in mind that how one is actually defacto economically integrated with china. so you have a de facto integration. it is going against how wants interest and now moving to south africa, where at least 4 people have died as protests of a saw in electricity rates have erupted ah. residence near the country's largest city to 100 barricaded roads with burning tires and have set municipal buildings ablaze. but just as are angry, that the government is unable to find a solution to the rising prices of electricity in the country. it comes in that

solving global energy and food costs, which makes africa more vulnerable. as many countries on the continent do not have reserves to assist their citizens in the crisis. what happens as to the end of the bulletin for this half hour? we'll see you at the top of the next hour with the latest news and views in the world of news. thank you very much for joining us here on our t international. ah . ah ah ah ah,

ah, a ah ah, the so called collective west is at war with russia using ukraine as a proxy. the west has made it clear once a russia that is weaker and isolated on the world stage. to date, these attempts have ended in failure. in fact, the officer, this happened, the west is weaker and isolated with the 1st time in history and entire countries, culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon.
