with the rising threats in the asia-pacific. [applause] as much as i believe in peace through strength, i also believe weakness arouses people. it is one of the reasons our last lead the charge to say, we have to give our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines and coast guards and space force what they need to defend the station, with the rising threats, particularly in the asia-pacific. the only thing i think we need to do is to depend on you and to give taiwan the resources they need to defend themselves. an increase the sale of military -- and increase the sale of military hardware to taiwan. so that the chinese will have to count the cost before they make any move against that nation, which they have made no secret of for decades. for decades they're prepared to move against them. china does not believe that taiwan is a separate, free, democratic country, and we, frankly, going all the way back to the nixon administration, we have had a policy in this country of being agnostic on that question. just to enhance relations. amer

our country's national deaf freestyle wrestling team won the championship title of the asia-pacific deaf freestyle wrestling. on the second day of the asia-pacific deaf freestyle wrestling, our country's national team won two gold, one silver and two bronze medals. the youth national team, i tried to be able to participate as adults and win a gold medal. i participated in the competitions, but i could not win the gold medal , but there were few competitions and they even won the silver medal in the competitions . the results were not good and acceptable. due to the your major changes in the olympic wrestling competitions and considering that we were not supposed to be sent to these competitions and gather the children to work in one month, it was acceptable for the children to be able to defend the olympic championship title more in the future in asia in these competitions. participated and these competitions were held at a high level and important athletes with high motivation participated in these competitions , the national deaf freestyle wrestling team of our country won 9 medals in

oh, chris is an attempt to can to growing chinese military power in the asia pacific region, including beijing's construction of a sophisticated naval fleet. however, china has react to his unease over the dale. a spokesman for beijing said the partnership was the result of cultural mentality which could violate the principles of nuclear non proliferation. may you all the latest joint communique issued by the u. s. u. k and australia indicates the 3 countries have gone further and further down a wrong and dangerous road for their own selfish political gains. in complete disregard of the concerns of the international community, what brought australia won't get nuclear weapons. the nuclear propulsion of new submarine fleet will add substantial strength to the west and alliance in the asia pacific region. earlier, we spoke to bates gill, the executive director for china analysis of the asia society policy institute in sydney. explain how china has expanded its presence in the inner pacific in recent years. for the last 1015 years, the chinese military has really grown quite considerably.

in asia pacific us launched and how want streets is part of that. so personally, i hope that seem similar sort of escalation of conflict leading to of the or our warfare won't take place. but this history tell us that kind of escalation letter, once a started is actually very difficult to stop. the americans usually frame the sanctions . you're referring to as a struggle between democracy and talker says, and it's clear that both of us are in the deep in the autocratic camp. but i know that both most go and be sheen and many other capitals around the world. also see that as part of a try for and more balanced, more predictable, sarah, more democratic, and indeed more peaceful, international system. i wonder whether you think that the americans could ever agree it to democracy among nations, democracy as a, as a form of international relations. and if not, can they ever be compelled to accept the do you think in this struggle between the west and the rest? not necessarily for dominance, but for, you know, a fair way of life and a fair way of dealing

and that being said, that we call upon nations in europe and across the asia pacific to step up and do more. and they did. and i think whether it is the war raging in eastern europe, whether it is the challenges in the asia pacific, or the wider war, the key is american leadership. but it is also american leadership that says to the free world we will lead, but you will do your part. and we will require that you do your part. and in so doing, we will continue to create the kind of conditions that will advance prosperity, freedom and inspire freedom in places in the world that are still under the cloud of tyranny. for me, that is what it is. that is why i like the way that you described it. it is about american leadership, not a choice of whether we are engaged or unengaged, it's about how we engage and the way we engage by putting the interests, the security, the prosperity of our nation first, and and and, demand of other nations that they join with us and follow behind us as we advance the cause of freedom in the world. pence: thank -- sen. ernst: thank you so much.

this also enabled the supply of treatment to our partners in the asia-pacific region.ll continue this work this year. e, of course, we think that there will be new attempts from the unfriendly side and countries, there are restrictions and sanctions , it is important for us to create a system of work with our partners that you did not depend on these sanctions restrictions, if you take friendly countries, there is still a margin of safety. how much more is the same, india how much more will it be able to consume energy resources from russia, given that the asian region is growing at a faster pace in terms of demand consumption and the economy in general, we are sure that our products will be in demand for this oil, gas and oil products and especially liquefied natural gas. and coal. we see everything, and we, together with our partners, are ready to provide them with support and assistance in meeting their energy needs. well another question that concerns oil prices in the twenty-third year. what factors will affect prices, there are many factors and their uncertaintie

further, we are joined, live by toe kick gucci, associate professor at the graduate school of asia. pacific studies was say to university in tokyo, welcome, nearly 50000000000 has been approved for military spending, despite the countries worrying fiscal health. why is the country still seeking to increase its military spending? i think the main reason is that increasing uncertainty of the security situation in the region. so there has been committed a bit of china that now surpasses a combined capacity of the u. s. on japan in the region. and we have seen a more assertive behavior of china regarding the east tennessee south sanity. and the taiwan issues in the past. he is as i mentioned earlier, is your hand is now running a record current account deficit with the weakening. how do you think this will reflect on the countries image as an export powerhouse? i think 1st, let me clarify that japan has never come to visit on annual basis in the past 40 years. so what we have now is a record deficit for a single months. and this is a trade div is due to the import prices of energy. and as you s

vladimir putin said that russia will continue to increase cooperation with the countries of the asia-pacific region without regard to the west. what else did the president say in an interview with journalists on our air? then the bell rings, the police checked the passports of people who came to the kiev-pechersk lavra for the last liturgy before the promised expulsion of the monks , the orthodox will not remember such face control in their lifetime. at this moment in st. petersburg there is a friendly match between the football teams of russia and iran how they play we will ask our correspondent. watch our special report on how employees of communal services in donetsk work with constant shelling, how they are helped by a brigade? why do the inhabitants of the city consider them their heroes? 19:00 in moscow and we will start with today's state of emergency in the tula region, where they find out the causes of the explosion that occurred this afternoon in the city of kireevsk threat to the safety of the population. according to reports, no, as they say in the regional government, as well as

in the asia pacific region. i'm joined now by charles e. dale. he is a senior advisor and the australia chair at the center for strategic and international studies. he joins me tonight from new york city. it's good to have you on the show, mr. dale and i want to ask you, if china, we're not this emerging military power, that it is, would we've would be having this conversation about this nuclear submarine deal. absolutely not. but when you say emerging power, we have to note that it not only be exponential growth of the chinese military, but it's increasingly more assertive use. and if you subtract those 2 things, you would not have seen august in the 1st place. so this is a reaction to what the chinese have been building, what they've been modernizing and, and how they've been using over the past 2 decades. china is warning against what it calls a dangerous road that the u. s. the u. k. and australia are following up, but you know, china is also following a path of increasing armaments, isn't it? well, it's not following. in fact, in many ways i

those new above the blocks are mostly men to contain china's rise order by the china in asia pacific. i think the kind of low incidence is unfortunate. i think there is a miscalculation probably on both sides, as i mentioned, or this, this escalation of conflict mechanism. once a started, it's very difficult to, to, to stop. and i think both sides need to think about carefully nor to intentionally escalate these sources of conflicts in the future. dr. dr. chang is if i'm interested here, because as far as i'm concerned, the americans are not doing these unintentional. this is their policy to be as aggressive and as pushy as possible and they're pretty straightforward about it. they see any reticence be on the russian side or on the chinese side as not some philosophical orientation, but the brother as a, as a weakness. and i asked you before we talked before about this will re principal, do that me assist in taking action and order will prevail and china practice that in foreign policy. and i think my conclusion at least is that it's slightly moving away from that in it, on the broade

xijinping cares about his geopolitical interests in the asia—pacific.ukus meeting, during which the alliance between the uk, us and australia consolidated into an explicitly anti—china alliance. it's a strategy of containing china, now it's crystal clear to beijing. at the beginning, it was camouflaged as an alliance of keeping peace, maintain peace and security in the asia—pacific. now it's clearly formed to deal with the chinese threat, so xi is in a very tricky geopolitical situation, if you look at the broader context, the global geopolitics, and he needs an ally and russia is the only great power partner, strategic partner that china has. so this meeting is less about ukraine itself, even though ukraine is in the spotlight. it is driven by broader, structural geopolitical trends that are unfolding in international politics, and specifically the dramatic deterioration of us—china relations and the consolidation of the aukus alliance. china has got the upper hand in this relationship, but how far is beijing willing to go to protect moscow? it can go
