moved by nancy pelosi. absolutely. and you know, you look at those long term effects for both the us and for taiwan. and it is notable because the politicians that were supportive of her wanting to go to taiwan in the 1st place. they seemed to almost be saying that they supported it because paging was warning against it. and even when it comes to those reports of whether or not asian would move in an attempt to take taiwan, there were also reports saying that the u. s. officials were not confident that that was the case that they were not confident that that was basic plan. and so for a number of those people there in taiwan, they're likely looking at those long term effects on themselves as they are the ones who have to deal with the room vacations directly. while politicians like nancy pelosi you get to get back on their play in and go back to the united. yeah, well we're, we're, we're just waiting to see if a citing when the time to use leader would meet sir. so we're just stay with those pictures in the moment. ric

nancy pelosi now inc. type a is completely disregard the repeated counseling by the us president joe biden. timing was not right for her to really pie one. she is completely disregarding counseling from the u. s. u. s. military leaders council not to go, because the wrong time me and she completely disregarded the repeated waldis by the chinese government. because china says our visit will hollow out the one china policy will be in violation of the one china policy and will really cause more damage to china us relations. so she is today and tonight she troublemaker in the whole world because she disregarded sanity judgment. and the rash analogy in pursuing her personal goals in taiwan. whether she wanted to use this visit to hide the fact or the husband is appearing cold in the united states. that's another matter. but i think people in this part of the world, people on both sides of the tower straight, do not want to see nancy pelosi because she does not have and the legitimate business in the try, not ar

of course nancy pelosi is the speaker of the house. so she's representing a different branch of government. and it, that would be in line with a shift in the u. s. tone and rhetoric that we've seen on in taiwan america as long as it has a strategic ambiguity policy so that it has official diplomatic ties with china, but unofficial ties to taiwan will continue to support a democracy in taiwan and president biden himself a did a challenge that when he said in may, that he would defend taiwan, the u. s. would defend taiwan of china attacks. those statements will walk back. but still it's important to note that what we're seeing from nancy pelosi this visit, is not entirely out of line with some of the tone and rhetoric that we've seen from the, the white house itself. and more generally, what is the feeling that domestically about her trip to the, to what taipei so there has been plenty of support for speaker policies, visit, and certainly from democrats and 26 senate republicans. i issued a statement today saying they also stand behind t

so why is nancy? pelosi is trip such a big deal is because of the one china policy. taiwan is officially recognized by the united states as part of china usa adopted the one china policy in 1972 usa has no formal ties with the government on taiwan government that was established by the forces who lost out when the communist party to power on the mainland, the usa has no embassy on taiwan and it advocates for taiwan to peacefully re unify with the mainland. this understanding has been key in us china relations for decades in more recent years, as washington drifted toward portraying china as its number one enemy. we've seen washington also drifting away from this policy, hinting its support for taiwan independence as a way just threatened shina. the united states is a hollowing art and the blurting up the one china policy. us officials of course, deny that they are wavering on the taiwan issue, but it doesn't help when president biden drops bombshell statements like this. are you willing to get involved milit

we understand that nancy pelosi's jet -- we think it is nancy pelosi's jet -- it is now in taiwanesee. we are getting cctv reports that a fighter jet is flying across the taiwanese straight, taiwan s trait. we will keep an eye on both of these aircraft. kishore mahbubani, distinct fellow at the asia research institute, joining us from singapore. he was singapore's ambassador to the un, sat as president of the un security council. he has watched situations like this unfold. we are interested in his point of view. thank you for your time, sir. how big an escalation is this, if nancy pelosi is about to touch down in taipei? kishore: is very, very serious. i think it is very important for americans to take a very long-term perspective with china. here is a 4000-year-old dragon that went to sleep for 100 years or so, and now is finally making up. and when this 4000-year-old dragon is waking up, it decided to poke it in the eye and say we don't care what you think, we will do what we want to do. on a very sensitive issue, which every american president has handled very carefully to make su

of course nancy pelosi, she wants to do this. is that a chaotic situation or coordinated making it purposely vague? in this case, you know, this is, this is a big question that a lot of analysts have been asking in china over the last several days. clearly there has to be some coordination in so much as we've seen some military movement in tandem with her with her travel. and this would require authorization from the white house, whether or not this was forced on the white house or whether or not the white house, the graduate went along with it. or whether or not it does tell us with, with biden's broader anti china project. it's really irrelevant, i think from beijing position, the bottom line and she appears to be coming and this is very disruptive. top notch in us as, as always we thank you for your time and your thoughts today. joseph gregory mahoney. professor politics at east china normal university, not the united states has an unbalanced position towards china. we just talked about an if i called it's one china policy. wa

so why is nancy? pelosi is trip such a big deal. it's because of the one china policy. taiwan is officially recognized by the united states. as part of china usa adopted the one china policy in 1972 usa has no formal ties with the government on taiwan and government that was established by the forces who lost out when the communist party took power on the mainland. the usa has no embassy on taiwan and it advocates for taiwan to peacefully reunify with the mainland. this understanding has been key in us china relations for decades in more recent years as washington drifted toward portraying shina as its number one enemy. we've seen washington also drifting away from this policy, hinting at support for taiwan independence as a way just threatened shire. the united states is a hollowing art and blurting up the one china policy. us officials of course, deny that they are wavering on the lawn issue, but it doesn't help when present biden drops. bombshell statements like this. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? i

barbara bush, nancy pelosi and now barbara walters. one, they are complicated. two, they are consequential, they had an impact.so and three, no good biography of them. >> hi. >> my question, that item you are talking to speaker pelosi about in the '90s, was that item included in your book? >> it was. [applause] and what was that? >> not going to poke the beer by telling what it was. but you know, i will tell her this makes me look smart when potentially it could make me look stupid so tell the story. [laughter] went i was starting on both books, i did not contact the subject of the books before hand to see if they would cooperate. which i think potentially could be very stupid. both of them cooperated, i did interviews with barbara bush to the last six months of her life. and then ten interviews with pelosi for this book. an 11th interviewed for the hardback, for the paperback which just came out a couple aweeks ago. but the reason i did not ask them if they would cooperate was because i thought if they said no, i might chicken out. and i thought if they said yes

you as how speaker nancy pelosi has used her visit to taiwan to deliver a statement of solidarity, saying her country would do whatever it takes to boost ty, one's ability to defend itself. pelosi met with taiwan, president sy, in when, after earlier addressing the self governing islands parliament. she's the highest ranking us politician to visit taiwan in 25 years though. she's not there. as an official representative, pelosi ignored stark warnings from china, which views the island as its own territory. she said she supports the status quo and was bringing a message of peace. 43 years ago, with the taiwan relations at american, made a bedrock. to always jan with taiwan and on this on sunday, we had filter driving partnership, grounded in our shared values of self government and self determination focused on our mutual security. it is in the region across the world committed to the economic ties that power prosperity for all of them. so closely visit has drawn a furious response from china, which is announced more military drills around taiwan. so let's cross over to taipei and speak to

nancy pelosi as well at the present to put more meat on the bones of those pleasantries they exchangedn the last hour. essentially pelosi is saying her visit was meant to show solidarity with taiwan as well as reaffirm washington's commitment to taiwan under the 1979 u.s. taiwan relations act. and that her visit would show confirmation that the u.s. will still back taiwan despite what we have seen his rising pressure coming from mainland china. speaking of that rising pressure, china is out with fresh warnings. while those two people were talking in taipei, in addition to already announced increases in military drills. the board -- devised foreign minister says england is pushing taiwan toward what he called a dangerous abyss. china also morning global airlines to avoid flying through the danger zone. these are the six exclusion zones that china has announced they will be encircling the island of taiwan with six exclusion zones starting at midday, tomorrow, thursday. that will go through midday on sunday. this will be after close is scheduled to leave but they will conduct military exe

how speaker nancy pelosi to type pe let's. i'll give you some of the latest the footage shared by chinese media. we understand a 21 chinese warplanes passed through tie ones at defense identification zone. according to beijing, military sources drills will include non nuclear missile launches from the sea east of the island territory that include alive, fire exercises on coordination between warships destroy, is and fight a gen a taiwanese islands also have said now to be put on full combat alert china had already warned washington of serious consequences of the u. s. a diplomat. visual uses, the china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speakers visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side in the taiwan independence, separatist forces, ah, such are you some pictures from the song, shine airport in taipei, a regional and military base where nancy pelosi is playing right there arrived earlier. the fli

we are hearing from sources inside the plosive camp that at the end of the day, nancy pelosi would haved away from this trip had joe biden directly asked her not to go. sources as well as john kirby said biden never spoke directly to pelosi, telling her not to go. hence, she is there. >> steve will be monitoring these events. we also expect a visit to ta -- to the sector there. let's get to debbie who joins us now. what do we know about this and what were the -- what with the conversation entail? >> right now we know that pelosi is reportedly expected to meet with the chairman today. although the spokeswoman has declined to come from the meeting. it shows that this is very important to the u.s. economy because it is the world possible large -- largest contract chipmaker. without the output or the import of ships to u.s. companies, the u.s. economy could come to a hold. it is a bit worrying what is going to happen when china is going to hold a drill encircling taiwan as nancy pelosi departs. >> thank you so much for your update and your impact on the tech sector in taiwan. let's look at

i'm talking about nancy pelosi. this is definitely my wheelhouse i i wrote a book called dear madam president sort of based off of the experiences. i worked learning learned working for hillary and second book. she proclaims our declaration of independence from a man's world. it's not a declaration of war. just don't see any reason we need to continue to follow a man's path and that is what just something about her is about right that you hear the set about women. there's just something about her. i don't like sometimes it's there's just something about her. that's incredible. and for nancy pelosi, there's i've just something about her that is incredible and incredibly effective um and susan i talked about this and thought that for our discussion of madam speaker to start with the question of what makes her so effective. she's incredibly effective and even john boehner her, you know foe house republican speaker john bainer said she was probably the most effective speaker ever, right? so i thought we would look start

so why is nancy? pelosi is trip such a big deal is because of the one china policy. taiwan is officially recognized by the united states as part of china usa adopted the one china policy in 1972 usa has no formal ties with the government on taiwan and government that was established by the forces who lost out when the communist party to power on the mainland, the usa has no embassy on taiwan and it advocates for taiwan to peacefully re unify with the mainland. this understanding has been key in us china relations for decades in more recent years, as washington drifted toward portraying china as its number one enemy. we've seen washington also drifting away from this policy, hinting at support for taiwan independence as a way to threaten shina. the united states is hollowing out and the blurting up the one china policy. us officials of course, deny that they are wavering on the taiwan issue. but it doesn't help when president biden drops bombshell statements like this. are you willing to get involved militari

he of nancy pelosi. what they want to do in asia is to fight 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 than before despite but pelosi is trying to achieve or see if she wants to keep in mind that how one is actually de facto economically integrated with china. so you have a de facto integration. it is going against how wants interest. well, that brings us to the end of the news for this half hour. we'll continue to follow closely the situation in taipei, retentions the main. hi. join us next hour and we'll update you with any and all development you with international thanks with a with in a with a wealth engine oil, the parts, the american approach to their world could be reduced to one bumper sticker. it could be this perception is reality. going to in the

nancy pelosi touched down in iowa. our response to the visit. china begins military drills all around tie. one thing that will include non nuclear missile launchers off the sea, just east of the island. i. beijing had already been boosting its activity near the self rule territory, while ty, one's islands are said to have been put on full, come back a lot. meantime, people in taiwan itself are pretty anxious over the u. s. house speakers, the trip members or the public, told us that u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence with 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 use taiwan to get their attention for domestic market. unless these business will add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with it is 11 pm here in moscow. and just off to 4 am in taipei, taiwan, which is where you as how speak a nancy pelosi is currently huddl

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 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 c

that's as you as how we can nancy pelosi begins. her official visit to taipei, despite numerous warnings from beijing. china is stronger, condemned to visit it, saying it will with the leukemia defend its territorial integrity and accuses the u . s. of provocation. this again proves that some us politicians have become the troublemakers of china. us relations in the u. s. has become the number one savage or of the peace instability of the taiwan strait. and people in taiwan itself, all anxious over the u. s. health. because trip, members of the public told us the us just wants to spread its power and influence not help them. the lucy touch, china's bottom line, she touch the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use, tie one to get our attention for domestic market flow. she's to visit, we'll add tensions across the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with it's 6 am in moscow, 11 am in taipei and you with ot international with coming to life on the russian ca

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

ah, i'm pablo for lydia as welcome to the program. us have speaker and nancy pelosi has used her visit to taiwan to deliver a statement of solidarity, saying her country would do whatever it takes to, to taiwan ability to defend itself. pelosi met with ty, one's president citing when after earlier addressing the self governing islands parliament. she's the highest ranking us politician to visit taiwan in 25 years, though she's not there. as an official representative, pelosi ignored stark warnings from china, which views the island as its own territory. she says she supports the status quo between beijing, anti pay and praised taiwan democracy. we have to show the world and that's one of the purposes of action. to show the world as the people have on their coverage to change their own country to become more democratic, the democracy that has evolved to a stronger place now and offers a very strong contrast to what's happening with mainland china. so close the visit has drawn a furious response from china, which has asked more military drills around taiwan or your dw washington correspo

nancy pelosi is still in taiwan. but at the same time, the response is likely to be far stronger than anything that we've seen in recent years. it is important, of course, for president she jumping not to be seen to be weak on this issue and to be seen to be in control, particularly at what is a very sensitive time for him. but there are concerns also that this will be used as a pretext for more regular, a military aggressions and provocations towards ty, one living golf alonza international editor of taiwan. plus she's joining us fire escape from ty pay good to have you with this dea there. when we heard the, the speeches that were made by the president and, and nancy pelosi earlier on a torn, has very cordial. it was referring to the history that her, that sir there exists between the u. s. and anti wine. and of course, nancy pelosi is on interest in the area. she was awarded the order of propitious clouds, which i understand as a civilian order of the republic of china all very pleasant. but it's the very fact tha

how sick, how speaker nancy pelosi to taipei. she kicked off her to a earlier meeting with high ranking taiwanese officials, including the deputy legislature speaker and president, ty ones defense ministry has already accused mainland china of immediately encroaching on the islands territory and threatened to respond. china hasn't yet commented on those allegations. yes, some of the latest footage shaped by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes pos to tie ones, aid defense identification zone. and according to basing military sources drills will include a non nuclear missile launches from the sea. east of the island territory that include alive, fire exercises, and coordination between warships and find to a coughed tie, one's islands. our states have been put on for combat alert. as chinese media are flooded by foot sheet of alleged military preparations, china had already warned washington of serious consequences of us because visit with him in china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignt

top us officials have repeatedly stated that washington doesn't support taiwanese independence, nancy pelosi being a key official herself met with the president of ty, one and received an award from the leader on behalf of the us congress for her contribution to us taiwan relations. earlier, pelosi plates, corporation and full support for taiwanese authorities during the meeting in parliament from just going to be 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 taiwan 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 confrontation, you're talking about building up the american presence or support 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 the miracle ministration, who d

s. healthy can nancy pelosi to tie pay? here some of the latest footage shared by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes passed through ty, once a defense identification zone. and according to beijing, military sources. rules will include non nuclear missile launches from the east of the island territory that include live fire exercises and coordination between warships and fight a croft, ty, ones, islands, i'll say to have been coach on full combat alert. as chinese media is flooded by footage of a major military preparations, china had really warned washington of serious consequences of the u. s. because versus china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the us, speaker's visit. all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side and the taiwan independence, separatist forces. ah, he has a quick look at what constitutes china and tie one's military with sources. ty pays total active forces are just a fraction of what stands

in responding to this visit by nancy pelosi.ent chao in taipei, our everyday taiwanese people concerned about the retc ratcheting up of tensions concerned about these live fire , drills that are going to be happening? guest: i think what's unfortunate is that provocations and military intimidation and coercion to a certain degree have become part and parcel of everyday life here in taipei and we've really seen a ramping up of tensions from the drc. -- from that p.r.c.. military jets flying across our air defense identification zone . academic course of actions, including most recently, the banning of a few food products. so it has become just a part of routine life. that has its pitfalls on its own, but it is also an unfortunate consequence of the relationship, or the lack of one we see today. but i do have to emphasize one point, if we take this idea of china meaning the people's republic of china, taiwan has never been part of the prc. and this is a historical fact. there's never been a people's liberation army soldier here in

all right, i believe we are seeing nancy pelosi coming down. i was just in the board, the plane after arriving in taiwan. wherever this is the highest level visit by a us official in 25 years coming at a very sensitive time. i want to get back across to zachary lee who's covering this for us from at high. hey zachary, a lot of talk about us and china physicians here. what the people in pie one wants to see from this is again nancy pelosi, la high ranking us policy, tend to be the highlight in 25 years. and is that entity into the how and he's in the global society telling these people are very welcome miss nancy pelosi here and you think it's a close the relations between the us and i one so a lot of people you actually work. i mean, how be that richard were mentioning earlier, these pictures are very dark. we're seeing officials are arriving to greet here is this the china reception that you would expect for such a high level figure in the united states? well, yeah, i think so. so you can just make her out there in the, in what seems to be a l

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. she may 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 tie pay. 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 wool or to start a wall? what the hell are you doing here? hello c. now we've also heard from moscow with the spokesperson for the kremlin, saying that this is a very provocative trip saying that they say what's china. and also saying that they understand how frustrated beijing is right now with the fact that they have issues so many warnings and clearly us how speaker nance, people as the has shown that she's not listening to a single one of them. racial thanks very much. brin

nancy pelosi is trip, could have catastrophic results for the world. caleb, martha r t new york. and i just moment her naughty international will be back with a more of our analysis and our special guests as well. of course the top story is tie one nancy pelosi has arrived. ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, a ah. well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't move out date because the advocate an engagement. it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground to day, i'm authorized to additional strong sanction foreign companies, quitting russia. i'm busy until one. thank you. this client atm console. blanton banks disconnected from the international payment system. the social move hoppey jermel lewis, donna and euro exchange rates followed minneapolis sellable up our nickel go more so so carbon would know what up what that what he met, that he woke up the pillow from this that is the current. can you see a little sure see a material because it was put zoom in russian business overcome this song. see near rob bought it to the nazi to huddle.

we know two things about nancy pelosi. number one, she is set in her ways of being pro-human rights. this is totally genuine on her part, the nancy pelosi i know. she cares about human rights in china. number two, she is a very astute politician. she knows how to count the votes. you have to wonder, what is she think she is going to accomplish by this? what does she a compass with china, what does she accomplish with the united states, what does she accomplish with taipei? guy: the president is not pushed back on the strip. is it effectively that has speaker doing his bidding? are they hand in glove with this trip?how close are the two when it comes to china? david: this is one of the biggest question coming out of this visit. with respect to the united states but also with respect to china. who is running our foreign policy at this point? i'm not sure from president biden's point of view is it better that he try to get her not to go and fail, or he didn't try to get her not to go? if he didn't say "nancy, please don't do

honestly, whether it's nancy pelosi _ now? honestly, whether it's nancy pelosi or _ now?president i now? honestly, whether it's nancy pelosi or president by making statements that united states will defend taiwan all this political manoeuvring to get the logic they want to signal their commitment but it's not helping, just provoke beijing gives them the moral ground and does not address the issue at hand which is the united states military capability to defend taiwan. you believe this was not helpful at all, perhaps she should have decided not to go? it was just the initial decision i would have strongly urged her not to go but once the white house clearly indicated they wanted her not to go then i thought she had to. it is convoluted but a big part of her strategy is to convey to beijing the separation of powers and united states, the white house can't dictate what congress does. the white house couldn't prevent nancy from going but we will have headaches when it comes to congress passing other legislation, arms sales and all sorts of things the taiwan relations act is p

you can see that not everybody in taiwan is delighted by nancy pelosi's arrival here, but on the wholeome a visit by such a senior us politician. in fact, the taiwanese government would like more such visits, not one every 25 years. but ms pelosi coming here does not by itself change the rather grim calculus now facing taiwan — which is a serious and growing threat from china, which since the russia's invasion of ukraine, suddenly looks a lot more real. half—an—hour outside taipei in this disused factory, young taiwanese are learning basic gun skills. since the invasion of ukraine, enrolment on these courses has jumped by 50%. many of the new recruits are women. next door, jj lai and his friends are undergoing more advanced training. learning to work as a team and to evacuate the wounded. they used to do this for fun, but now it is much more serious. this is my home country, this is all i want, to protect it. i want to live here with my family, that's all. some critics say if taiwan wants america or any other country to help it fend off the threat from china, then it has to show that i
