a nancy pelosi to taipei which began some hours ago. he has some of the latest footage shared by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes passed through ty, one's a defense identification zone. and according to beijing, military sources tools will include non nuclear missile launchers from the sea, east of the island territory that include life, fire exercises and coordination between warships and fighter aircraft. k ones islands are said to be put on full combat alert. as chinese media are flooded by footage of a lead military preparations. china had already worn washington of serious consequences of the us because visit jo, 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.
10:03 pm
ah, here's a quick look at what constitutes china and taiwan is military with sources. type is total active forces are just a fraction of what stands behind beijing. the number of chinese aircraft, navy ships and tanks or so well so passes tie one is military forces. this is the moment nancy pelosi arrived at function. a port in type pe, the flight tracking sight, flight radar, 24 dot com said the number of people following her dread. we've almost 3000000 people,
10:04 pm
a record figure for the service. the us house because said her visit is evidence of the u. s. commitment to support taiwanese democracy unless he has become the highest ranking american official to visit the self hold island in 25 years. the white house, meanwhile, has stated that a dialogue between washington and beijing will be kept open, and the u. s. 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. sunset flux recognition from type pe to beijing. washington has held an ambivalent
10:05 pm
position regarding china and taiwan officially acknowledges basing as the only legitimate government for the whole of china, including tie one in line with the one china policy. however, this has not prevented us from maintaining unofficial relations with type pe and sending military aid to the island. china said that the time has come for us to stop playing 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 and us sign in relation to 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
10:06 pm
one chinese government on the mainland. it does not have diplomatic relations with the government on time. one then 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
10:07 pm
a beacon to people's around the world who aspire for a more just safe, prosperous and democratic world. now, us officials 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. while top us officials came that washington is sticking by, it's one china policy. us help speaker nancy pelosi to pass the photo session with a tie when needs foreign minister and played both cooperation and full support for
10:08 pm
taiwanese authorities during the meeting in parliament. we want to increase enter your parliamentary cooperation and dialogue. and we do so at a time when our president has put forth an asian pacific initiative, which we support. and we want to be specific in terms of how we work with the child won in that regard. clearly it's a publication of china. and if you are talking about cooperation in the atmosphere, that's here at the moment of confrontation, military compensation, you're talking about building up the american presence or supporters of taiwan, which is basically an aircraft carrier for the united states and foreign policy. so visit, i'm sure, despite the controversy over who in the white house supported woman america ministration, who didn't,
10:09 pm
must have the okay from president biden and from others. so it's a publication of china as part of the whole process that has been laid out in the madrid summit declaration of later to contain china could to continue the publications of china. and of course, russia as well. the 2 countries being joined together because both represent opposition and a poll of attraction in the world to the united states. earlier, my colleague, boy fisher discuss policies as a to tie one with our correspondent rachel blevins. close. he'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. she referred to as taiwan vibrant democracy. she also went as far as to say that she does not believe that she is in violation of the one
10:10 pm
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 it was also notable that she talked about democracy there because it makes you wonder how do the people of taiwan see this 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. it's of all about mercury interest. they use taiwan. they, they use that you political mom measure to, to benefit themselves. they only care about how the government can be holding the powers it is in there in then states. okay,
10:11 pm
so they just used high one to get our attention for domestic market from good to low see touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line. so both the u . s. and china have to take actions accordingly. only pelosi will benefit from the elusive visit. that's all places 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 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
10:12 pm
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 is me and she's kind of shrugged, it often 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 their spice president, visited the secretary of commerce and others. and we want 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 say more of the pacific ocean, and yet we look at all of the ramping of the engines that we're seeing between the
10:13 pm
u. s. and 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 the general view in america regarding this whole thing? yeah, there seem to be more questions than answers as to why polos 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 prices, about inflation. but all of the issues they have going on on their 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
10:14 pm
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. so nancy pelosi goes to taipei. what's the effect of that? well, we don't need to guess. the chinese government 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. the outer 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,
10:15 pm
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. the thing is, any chance at 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 said, we're going to be doing these lie. 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
10:16 pm
to step in and ramp up tensions even more than what they already are at right now. well, let's go live now to jonas, patrick, a corner of the world socialist web site. thanks so much for joining us. and lucy has just had a meeting with the deputy speaker of ty, ones, parliament. and since she looks forward to increase quote, parliamentarian corporation between the 2 governments, what do you think she means by this? while clearly what he is doing and he's got a certain type. ready the holly provocative initiative that she's on, that i can should never happened is an initiative, not just on her personal items stretching and cold. so close upon the shoot and calling to relations with taiwan, announced to a closer relationship with the agenda of rushing up the pressure on china and ultimately triggering
10:17 pm
a war. that is what these poses very directly bottom bodies comments extraordinarily reckless and dangerous situation. a place to jolly an intern meeting. we did hear her say that she comes in peace, friendship and the hope to avoid conflict. she went on to commend taiwan for being one of the free us government in the world. how do you think these comments will be perceived by beijing while they come into play? if a critical visit has nothing to do with democracy, whether in taiwan or anywhere else, it was recalling the afternoon or non us back baton 8th regime. when it was military dictatorship implemented, the world's longest era of martial law. that pose no nice lines, much in total relation to tall one, when it suited the on site to back. and so this question of diversity,
10:18 pm
it's all one will be the truth in beijing as a will be around the well, you mentioned that the comments are hypocritical. would you say that some of them are also contradictory to the one china policy? absolutely. bottom ministration has initiated a very sharp engines for long standing us policy in relationship to china and taiwan to deliberately undermine the one on a policy through a whole series of statements and initiatives. come in just to name a few in september of last year. us secretary of state as the blinking refers to the country, which is productive statement justified themself. embodied on one's representative in the united states to attain an organization which is subsequent to that bottom restriction body, ministration officials of which to the press, the us military personnel, or on the ground and tell one training force. and i plan to substantially increase
10:19 pm
the military. i used to talk the same time because bon declared that he would wage war against china overtime. he said that on 3 occasions, most recently at night, which was named to cycled strategic ambiguity policy of the united states nowadays initiative that is on the source of pain undertaking behind the backs of the working class. working people in the united states. as around the world have no interest in this quality aggressive propagation because shawna is a threat of war that naturally, the big question now is how china will respond to the u. s. anti one for pelosi, visiting the territory. what are your thoughts? watch on as my clear that it doesn't regard. this isn't acceptable developments. we say reports now continues to fall about the military sizes that are unfolding. that might be economic repercussions as well. clearly,
10:20 pm
what's been raised by the us aggression in china. if we try to right, it's not an exaggeration, it's not hard to write about issue very immediate, very real threat of nuclear, our pals to war. obviously, we that doesn't happen in the schools situation in school, the agency of one class internationally to develop a new entry one with very big concern, the comments we raise patrick o'connor of the world socialist website. thank you for joining us on the program. now i'm at the turmoil china's imposed sanctions against to tie when these funds, which aging accuses of supporting separatism and a smear campaign against phasing. meanwhile, the ramifications of policies that have already been felt in local financial markets says, fell in semiconductor manufacturers in tie one, which is home to some of the largest such companies in the world. overall, taiwanese stocks dropped about 2 percent,
10:21 pm
which is the biggest for in 3 weeks. the controversial visitors helped us help speak up or down the values of a number of industry giants. in addition, the following stocks was not any felt anti one, but also with other global semiconductor manufacturers. well, it's cost life now to tom longer who is actually a political and market analyst and publisher of the gold goes and guns newsletter. something very much for joining us. time when these stocks are down following policies arrival to the island. is this a predictable market response? oh yeah, and the short term the in general though, you have to remember that around the world equity markets around the world are, are down europe or on the year overall. so, but we're over beginning to see it's actually an interesting diversion between us docs and the rest of the world. given the hawkish fed policy,
10:22 pm
which is created that divergence. and it's, there's dis, this visible philosophy is interesting because it just feels like so much theater to me and, but at the same time it is very serious. right. the chinese are taking very seriously in the us knows exactly what it's doing in terms of provocation. d. s m c is an incredibly important part of the global supply chain for electronics. you can't get around that. so this is very interesting. it's always been a very interesting problem. and that respect, one giant chinese producer battery for electric cars has reportedly postponed the announcement of a new plant to supply test and ford. do you think that other chinese companies could also break ties with you as partners and the worsening diplomatic relations? oh sure. i think this entire affair with posey is actually a giant boss to get thee and to get the, the chinese to over commit or to overreact to the situation,
10:23 pm
to give the americans than the impetus and the excuse to say over while we want to put sanctions on you, in the same way that they've been, that they did with the made up to the russian war crane. repeatedly, the united states ignored russian red lines. they ignored russia's warnings about everything and ignored russia's dam, frankly, desires, and had for years while in the same way the by the ministry, the press, the power have been repeatedly, get out proper, read, engaging and provocations against chinese, over taiwan and other issues on purpose in order to degrade relations so that they can get to a point where something like pelosi going to taiwan could have sparked a bigger response from china than we've seen. and therefore then, you know, allow the us to claim the moral high ground that they've done the, they've done some horrible. and so now we can start putting up the sanctions wall
10:24 pm
around china and the same way. and that, that we put up or around russia, right? which is clearly, these are lead ups to a wire conflict of some form or another. and hopefully that does not happen. but so far the chinese have seem to not taken debate. what consequences you think that's could have for the us economy? well, as it's, it's bad for everybody's economy, ultimately, taiwan cannot be shut down if anybody thinks that we're going to have a moderate economy without taiwan at this point. it's in many ways i want as a single point of failure. but remember that last week, s m, i c announced that they've 5 perfected there are shipping now become miners that are based on 7 nanometers technology. and you know, they were only 14 nanometers a year ago and they were 20 nanometers in a year before that. and this is all downstream of president trump, you know, trying to knock while way out of the market back in 2019, 2020. you know, which then put the in, put us under s m s m, i c,
10:25 pm
to raise it game. and then put pressure on t t s m c. so, you know, at the end of the day the, the markets are doing what they always do, which is that, you know, if you try to stop or obstruct a particular area of the market, eventually somebody how to fill that space in some way, matter, shape or form, and that's what we're beginning to see. and i think that this visit by policy is, is, is tied to that in some way, especially since we just had the, the big piece of legislation. go go through congress to, you know, increase the domestic spending on developing young do fab's here in the united states. so it's clear that you know, what is currently a single point of failure for the global economy is rapidly becoming a less important thing over the next couple of years. and so if we're ever going to, you know, turn this into a broader conflict that could stifle and slow trying to growth, then you know it,
10:26 pm
the time for that to happen is the timeframe for that happened is now it's within us over the next 18 months or so at the outside tommy, no longer a g, a political market analyst and publisher of gold, goats and guns newsletter. thank you so much for joining us. your naughty, thank you. thank you. now follows his trip to tie one appears not have received much support in the waist. the media, as a recent article by the new york times suggests the visit made plunged us into in direct conflict. not only with russia, but also with china. us officials are a lot more concerned about ukraine's leadership than they are letting on this ukraine. war is so not over, so not stable, so not without dangerous surprises that can pop out on any given day. given the middle of all this, we are going to risk a conflict with china over taiwan, provokes by an arbitrary and frivolous visit by the speaker of the house. all of
10:27 pm
this would be terribly funny if it wasn't so serious. this ends up being a diversion from the united states offered to support the war in ukraine. what is betrayed by friedman's article is the utter chaos. that is the biden administration's foreign policy because they keep sending mix signals. they say they will back to one china policy. they don't recognize independence for taiwan. yet policies arrival and all of the other message that's going alliance suggests that so this conflict in washington were washington doesn't really know what it's doing anymore. it can't decide if it's supporting ukraine fully. or if it is the back of their mind, what to support independence for taiwan, but they don't want to get into a conflict with china. is it? it is a confused hot mess. well, that brings us to the end and use for the south will. of course, continue to follow po,
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
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 opposite is happened. the west is weaker and isolated in the united states has always had a variety of tools to use and tax on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning. another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries that you're talking about here. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. ah, we have
10:30 pm
a responsibility for the whole world. and we need to make rules for the rest because without out there with me, oh, a lot of people i think is 70 percent of even 80 percent of so many people are for russians. but you know, you cannot make it like a fission or like something that you, you know, out number people who come to the book and then you may conclusion. they are pro russians or not. russo phobia means also cerebral phobia. and we were,
