john john jones, i'm going to go in. you'll hear thoughts hung her tongue chair hung up ho porsha. the old president seenteen is encouraging all citizens to stand up with china's interests at home and abroad. and it's all in pursuit of something called the china dream. so the china to room is about making china as a country, as a state more prosperous, more powerful. so for individuals is not bound to individually becoming well seo, base about taking pride in china. the country, the state becoming more powerful. ah, in, ah, no, i mean, yeah, you're lucky. yeah. go ye. oh, actually you have fe. marshall at school students are taught core subjects, but the china dream is considered equally important. who hasn't the jelly? roger trenton? yeah. fe. i for they to say it this year i work with elements, the are those european she'll cover i mega in the eyes, the boy gamma someone on black or not. i f, e l. fidel wiggly, i was, i was of being your goal is one of yeah, with your versus said, yeah, we'll call it a yoga was held down for who are glad has the, the dad, it's the message they'll take from the school to their careers permanently jump abilene those, the valley you ho, she found a young lady that was wonderful. yes. and pamela, my younger share, shall you? yeah, boise the good. yeah. oh wow. and it's clear what some of the students want to be dumping for others a different dream. i hear you now, but acting can also be patriotic. oh i. ready ready ready ringback hm . recovering the old empire, maybe on and is to do list. but with talk of conflict over taiwan. what did the taiwanese think about their identity and future? oh ha. ah. so we're in one of the busier sections of taipei and it's normally not more crowded, right? if it weren't broke over e, no clue is a form of special forces soldier. and now a rising star politician. and he's concerned the taiwanese aren't prepared for what the future could hold to taiwan in elementary school. folks go through a quick training and we understand the do's and don'ts when we faced the fire. but there are certain more soccer than that that were less prepared for including a potential military attack. and i think there's a higher risk of that with all the investments that i've been making over the last decade. this year, china increased military pressure on taiwan. and the global concern about the threats of conflict. china's missiles could reach every part of the island in minute. the government has a list of all of the qualified air raid shelter in the city, and they put it on a map. it looks like this. and these are mixed up underground facilities underneath office building shopping malls, the residential complexes. they're mostly parking lot right and complex lose his tie ones, 817000 air raid shelters are expected to accommodate more than 20000000 people. if you look around that, you'll see a nice parking lot, but there are a lot of facilities, a lot of items that you might need in a air raid shelter. for example, you can feel how hot it is right now. i. ventilation is important. power generations, important medical supplies, important supplies. and so if we believe that missile strike on taiwan is a possibility that we need more facilities that are fitted and equipped with items that could help the general population to shelter in those event. it's one thing to have air raid shelters, even if they are just cop ox. but how serious is the threat of military action? in short, it's quite serious, right? and my view china spend the better part of the last couple of decades in this thing and military, right. one of its core mission is to take town by force if the beijing leadership teams and necessary. so i think the only way that taiwan can avoid military conflicts is to really be prepared for conflict, right? they always say right, the best way to prevent war is to prepare a fight tie one's defenses are reportedly played by aging military hardware, supply issues and motivation problems. taiwan has mandatory conscription, but it's being reduced from 2 years to just 4 months and is ridiculed as a summer camp. there is no way of getting around the fact that conscription is unpopular in taiwan. but it's unpopular for one main reason which is for most of us the time we spend in the military is too often spent on tourists like, you know, marching and bayonet drills and almost too little or no time on combat training. then no one leaves the military better prepared for a crisis, but we have to change that the loose is drawing on his special forces background and some fancy simulations to train up civilians to deal with disaster. so we're holding workshops for folks like us. and we're saying, hey, this is how you escalate and conflict. this is how you treat a wound. this is how to recognize when someone is bleeding profusely. and this is how you start to bleed its teaching everyone. how did you be a 1st responder in emergencies? and that takes preparation are parts and it takes us coming together the society to say, hey, this is going to take all of us, not just are a 160000 and strong and military. our goal needs to be so that every morning when the beijing leadership wakes up from their china dream, they need to realize, hey, you know, today is not the day to take military action. located off the chinese coast. taiwan is like no way else on earth. only a handful of nations recognized taiwan as a country for most of the world. it status is an ambiguity, but not for china. it claims taiwan as its own, a renegade province to be re unified, warmer jo, attending the year, june 20th, and the soon so called anomaly chore. wow. harsh english is, are kind of fundamental mall. it's also part of china's ambitions to control the south china sea, giving it an advantage over trade routes and resources and the strategic high ground. this year, a record number of chinese military planes heflin close to taiwan, seen by taiwan as the provocation. while the u. s. doesn't recognize taiwan as a country. it does seldom, military hardware. you as president joe biden has said, the u. s. will come to ty, one's defense if it's attacked. ah hm. i want to know what the taiwanese government makes of the grow intentions. hello colla. hi jennifer colas jo taco is the presidential spokesperson . what's ty, ones greatest concern today? actually, man obstacle for us to day is our standing as an independent country has been undermined by a china. we have been telling people already. taiwan is an independent country. we are a southern country that has on now military. we have election a president. so try once our z, taiwan independence is a fact arresting taiwan is the abbreviation of republic of china, taiwan ponies, one to peace. we don't want a war at all, but to sand wall plans flying over at 20 times in one day. it's not peace. it's at destroying the status court misinformation and the fake news had been attacking us for years. this kind of attacks is try to help to create the conflicts between our governments and the people. ah, these non military threats are cold grey's own tactics. the taiwanese say they're designed to disrupt the status quo and wear them down. they include barrages of disinformation, cyber attacks and economic collision. one recent example involves the clash of a coven vaccines. a vaccine shortage during tie. one's biggest cove with outbreak, has led to a public outcry for vaccines. i von has, for the 1st time, directly accused china of blocking a deal with germany's biotech vaccine developer for covered 19 job at beijing rejected the accusation. china has offered to sin doses to the island which considers its territory by typing his express concern about the safety of chinese by refusing vaccines from china. the taiwanese government was accused of putting politics above health. but when japan and the united states donated vaccines to taiwan, china objected and warned them to stop meddling in its internal affairs. oh, this is just one example of grace own conflict. there are many more right on china's doorstep. only 9 kilometers of china's coast. a tie ones, matsu islands. oh, what else is on? what are all right, love your old place. i'm here. my friend bout how town say gosh, i shall that bow you. so you're dealing with a bow he that's who used to be a frontline when the 2 sides were at war this. so physically close, this billboard was once used to taunt china. now a fabian i gotcha. so got died bar tool guide, chin sigh. why explains the message up and up front and the odds are panveer and he doesn't call ben bag. he n d john, then they'll show hall ja grandma george that she remembers when the island was attacked in the late 19 fifties cousin that the scene was so dead under the turns on seeing the shoe haul him under the plain shoe bowl, out of a se, one that was a chain of the same jotting in papa ma'am on his own i shy saw the thing who could pound can i tell paul that was up on one moment. you tell us or to die? i didn't call that one high. ah, today there's a different kind of battle going on, a fight over what's at the bottom of the sea, or the all that he was the johanna woman tides have been the hawing a to lentils on the like. down the fishermen say chinese sand dredges have been illegally plundering these waters, ruining both the environment and livelihoods, or toes out on since i just think tut by magenta modeled us. and i again been del n. so been dealt loyal gentlemen to re bonded the bottle of gold. they are those gentle luxury them since i mailed the changing them didn't as a 1000 huddle me
