now of course, this is not the 1st confrontation in the south china sea, but what makes this very dangerous and risky is the timing were at a time when china us relations are at an all time low and distrust between the shoe countries is at an old time high and both government and seem to be having is increasingly hawkish, attitude towards each other. should there be any incident that happened in the south china sea, things could spiral out of control in many endless lives spoke. would you say that could be even a potential conflict or something that could be a to lead lead to was so i think of china is warning against that. we have heard this language before, but the stern warning does give you a sense that china is saying, look, if, if there's no change here, things could escalate in a way that neither government wants to see. okay, thank you for that. katrina, you that 1st life in beijing north korea says that it's military as tested what it calls a new underwater drone. same media says the leader kim john oversaw and attack simulation using the device as well as cruise missile tests. you

all their oil comes across the south china seas and they have submarines operating in the area and they want to protect those. china has acted with summer straight. they could have put defenses into these islands but they have not done that they have acted with a little bit of restraint. we need to keea lid on tensions there and avoid escalation. u.s. ships and aircraft continue to circulate through the south china seas but there is no imminent danger. this is mostly about a contest in the south china seas about oil and gas resources and fisheries. should the u.s. get involved in world war iii over fisheries? i don't think so. we have fishery conflict with canada. guest: there is good article in the wall street journal over the weekend. it shows a massive failure of u.s. policy. they say china has effective operational control of the south china se during peace time japan and t philippines and australia identify china as a big red. it's about how a great wer behaves. china is a rising superpower is just human nature and structural to expect them to expandt's not exactly ninunder the mar

in china have disagreed of what has happened in the south china sea. but what makes this particularly dangerous is the timing right now . the distrust and the tensions between washington and aging are at an all time by making any potential confrontation, particularly risky. now china is navy, says a u. s. got it miss all destroy amelia's illegally entered into an area that china called she shall buy the parasol island. it says china is navy responded by driving out the destroyer and remains in high blood. china has accused the u. s by creating regional instability via this action. now, washington has responded to this and says that trying to statement is false and that the 1000000 continues to conduct what it says are freedom of navigation, exercises in international waters. now china claims much of the south china sea and it's been building up artificial islands and intensify military activities in the region. and where this encounter took place. this area by the parasite islands, it's resource rich. it's about 7 square kilometers in size. it's defacto

s. navy says it's destroyed is continuing routine operations in the south china sea and has not been expelled to new use. joining us now from beijing. what's the background to this? katrina? well, this is the 1st time that us and china have had differing accounts of what's happening in the south trying to see. but what makes us particularly dangerous is the timing at the moment. tension is a very high between beijing and washington. and so was distrust making any potential confrontation, especially risky. now, china's navy said that a u. s. guided missile destroy a 1000000 and illegally into its waters and area bay didn't call she shot by the power. so eyelid it said then that the chinese navy throw it away and that it continues to be on high alert, and that secures the us of causing instability in the region. now the us says that this statement is false and not the 1000000 is continuing to conduct what washington says off freedom of navigation, operation in international waters. now, much of the south trying to see is claimed by the aging as its own territory. this area by the paraso

the runs through the south china sea should free movement not be possible there. china would barely be able to import oil for itself, or conduct foreign trade you, through our mortgage, to horseshoe, or through a warrant. and we're not gonna the bulk of international trade is carried by see, most of the shipping lanes used to policed by the u. s. navy to ensure the free movement of goods. but china dislikes the americans dominance today the c route from asia to europe passes through the south china sea where tensions run high and the suez canal, which can be blocked. but the melting of arctic pack ice could open up new options . 3 routes would be possible and take $10.00 to $20.00 day is less time. the northwest passage over canada would main navigating uncharted waters and masses of sea ice. the 2nd route over the north pole remains a distant vision. it would be the shortest way, but remains impossible to, to pack ice. so the most promising route is the northeast passage or northern sea route. it runs along the russian coast of a kia can, is the european poet that's closest to asia b

also coming up tensions in the south china sea, washington and beijing give different accounts of an incident involving an american destroyer plus a shed. it was straight. you don't miss it, don't miss it. these training, prime minister hazards voters to back a referendum the will constitutionally recognize the nation's 1st people ah, facing it's worse, financial crisis is 20 away to the u. s. federal reserve has raised its interest rates. once again, it's benchmark rate is now up to 5 percent the highest since 20 o 7. it's all part of efforts to tackle inflation and com market south to recent banking turmoils in the u. s. heidi joe castro reports from washington dc. the u. s . central bank decision to raise the federal interest rate by a quarter percentage point was the result of being stuck between conflicting forces . don't raise the rate enough, and consumer prices may continue to sort, raise it too high and war banks may fail. history has shown that isolated banking problems, if left unaddressed, can undermine confidence in healthy banks and threatening the ability of the bankin

china sea and elsewhere. so, i think we are seeing all the funds that president xi is serious. and i think the only thing that will stop him is if he judges the cost to be higher than the value of unifying with taiwan. and, that ought to get everybody detention. >> i think it is a nap point to make in the sense of the stretch that the united states and other western countries have used to support ukraine probably won't work in taiwan. in the sense that if you wait for the fighting to start and then try to flood the place with weapons, it'll help defend itself, the geography is just so much more challenging with respect to taiwan. >> everything i have read in public sources is that the strategy is, hold on for a couple of weeks until the cavalry allot arrives. the cavalry being the united states and other countries. but, that sounds okay maybe if you can hold out for a couple weeks. and we one of the most interesting things to me about that potential. and gives me some hope, is that taiwan's semiconductor manu

, east china sea, there are number of areas where the military is operating in close proximity.: what about of china was to send weapons to russia in its war in ukraine, what would that mean? >> one of the points of the warnings is to get beijing to pull back, if a chinese company is considering sending ammunition to russia. this would be a fundamental pivot moment, not only in our relationship with china, but most importantly, europe's relationship with cha. you are hesitant to use the label cold war, this would make it difficult to avoid that, because we would be seeing what now looks like a real bona fide proxy conflict. china, the united states, in ukraine scare -- squaring off against each other. it beijing was considering it, they are not anymore. overall the rhetoric cong out of beijing puts us in a position where if it is not support for russia, we will see lots of other areas where the united states in chant -- and china or in a much more confrontational stance. laura: what could de-escalate this? will the u.s. secretary of state ever go to china over this? >> know it s

and will be an even more important factor especially well, not only in relation to ukraine and the china sea late in chinese i think that the biden administration still considered china as a more er predictably more er responsible power also in the strategic plan it is really a rival of er russia but in the short-term, plagiarism is really russia - it's a renegade renegade renegade china is still considered more uh, the majority of the country is serious, and that is why we must see everything, for sure , as well as efforts to talk between the american administration and the leadership, after the conversation and meetings with putin, all the bells and whistles seem to be planning a virtual conversation with president zelensky. i would like to ask your vision of what china's real undeclared plan might entail, and accordingly, let's try to predict what the president of ukraine and the chinese leader can talk about. i can find out that from the side of ukraine, your leadership, president zelenskyi can try to convince china that this war is really not in the interests of china what , for example

even more important factor, especially well , not only in relation to ukraine, there is also the china seaate in the chinese language. it seems to me that still the biden administration considered china as a more er predictably more er responsible power also in the strategic plan it is really a rival of er russia but in the short-term plan really russia is a rogue about the leadership of the chinese is still considered more er the majority is serious the country and therefore we must see everything, for sure, as well as the efforts of the conversation between the american administration and the leadership, after the conversation and meetings with putin, everyone is ringing , as if he is planning a virtual conversation with president zelensky. china's undeclared plan and , accordingly, let's try to predict what the president of ukraine and the chinese leader can talk about, i can find out that from the side of ukraine, your leadership, president zelenskyi can try to convince china that this war is really not in the interests of china. what, for example, is the huge pirgov financial and comm

pacific comes from an increasingly aggressive china, which has built new fortifications in the south china sea. it's a situation that china has, has created and brought upon itself very much like girl russia has in the ukraine in china's gigi and paying his called the august plan, an effort to encircle and contain his country view as, as missouri. here is a nuclear powered virginia class attack submarine. the kind of u. s. will send to australia is that country developed the capacity to build its own nuclear subs go longer, farther and faster than conventional subs. and that's a big advantage. the new fleet, replacing australia's aging diesel force requires the u. s. and u. k to boost their nuclear ship building capacity and to build one in australia from scratch. but ultimately, the defense of our values depends, as it always has on the quality of our relationships with others, with china engage in its own submarine building program and flexing its muscles in the south china sea. the 3 english speaking arcus nations are betting that together . they can better counterbalanced the size of china

it has i carry out provocations in the south china sea. a straight already is sent or ships to the south china city and it's damaged. it's relations with china. it's trading relations, as a result of that, this could exacerbate that it was certainly as seen as an aggressive mood by people's republic of china or china has made his feelings very clear that it opposes the deal. was sort of tit for tat response. do you think we can expect to see from beijing on and they'll be a specific response to this purchase? let's remember, this is really effectively the it's a subsidy in many respects of us war machine in this part of the world. and particularly the south china sea, it's linked to that strategic move of confronting and trying to contain china and trying to provoke and divide china. they all of the, the large military purchases buy it by the straight and military of largely been. so that is trying to be a i l, g 's, hillary, to integrate with us forces in there. there it was, whether it was vietnam or rock. what syria, that sort of gratian

they've been fortifying features that they've occupied and reclaimed and south china sea. they've been stepping up military patrols both air and sea. and yet i won. they've increased their patrols disputants and taco area near japan. so you know, the p r c. it's, it's, it's involved in this as much as anybody else. what is it in about these nuclear powered submarines that has china so worried? so the nucleus powered simply means it's important to emphasize that their nuclear power, they are not nuclear. ok. that's a distinction that beijing sometimes blows, but the point about these nuclear power submarines is that they're quiet. they can, they can patrol for a really long time and long distances. so that means to say that should there be any effort a blockade or military action. visions, lines of communication to the south jersey and elsewhere could be more easily put under pressure by the u. s. u. k. and australia via we're hearing russia now to saying that august, this deal between the u. k and australia and the u. s. this, this arms deal will exacerbate geopolitical te

china sea because it's next to china. right. go ahead, andy. i think there's a couple of interesting things going on with this peter. so 1st of all, we have to recognize that nato is really not as independent as it might want to portray itself that the u. s. plays are very decisive role. and the u. s. recognizes that just as it cannot compete with china fairly economically, that it has to resort to these kind of underhanded tactics to try to slow down china's development rather than improving itself. it also recognizes that it cannot engage in these military efforts to contain china on its own and has to marshal what resources it can. i think this is where we see nato coming into play here. but the other thing we have to recognize to, to come back to this idea of changes unseen in a century is that the original logic for nato was to keep germany down russia in the u. s. in. and i think there's a growing awareness in europe and in germany that should germany be kept down forever. and that isn't time for germany to take a g

it calls navigational rights and freedoms off to stand off with the chinese military in the south china sea. beijing says that a u. s. warship was driven out of waters near the parasol islands for the 2nd time this week. a washington denies any one doing saying that its vessel, the u. s. s. millis was conducting a routine operation in international waters. china, of course, claim sovereignty over almost the entire south china sea, despite an international court saying the claim has no legal basis. north korea says that it's military has tested what it calls a new under water drone state media. se lead kim john owned over saw an attack simulation using the device as well as cruise in this context. young young has stepped up missile testing this week to coincide with joy military drills between the u. s. and south korea. well, mcbride has more from sol. this would be the 1st time north korea has tested what it calls a nuclear capable underwater drone. it was apparently conducted earlier this week when the drone traveled under water for nearly 60 hours. busy before hitting its target, it's cla

countries in the region alone to solve that . disputes with china over a few islands in the south china sea, there will be absolutely no problem in our region. bear in mind that these disputes are issues between china and the respective countries and can only be solved through peaceful negotiations, which i do believe we should not give. rouse, sorry, should not give grounds to those allegations that china is there to obstruct the freedom of navigation. but nelson, it's always coming from certain professional partners in the west to keep saying, for example, that china is going to invade taiwan. there's going to be a war between china and taiwan, you know, but nelson, the only one, the only people who are saying this are in the west. china is never saying this. and, and the question is, you know, is the us, for example, interested in a provocation with china to some how get the high one called flag to fire up much like many of compared the provocation of russia into ukraine. well, thank you for bringing this up and i believe you are absolutely right to have made this. i think it's more of t
