taiwan independence.se history does not allow that. the 1.4 billion chinese people does not allow that. that number of chinese people includes the majority of the 23 million people on taiwan. this is the reality. i hope u.s. politicians will be pragmatic. they should not bet on taiwan independence at all. >> is the u.s. and china heading toward a cold war? >> i don't think so. the cold war is against the fundamental interest of the united states. it is against the fundamental interest of china. it is against world peace and development. no more cold war. >> let me bring in robert and ask the same question. this talk of sanctions, military drills, promises to standby taiwan. does it sound like a cold war shaping up to you? >> it does if you listen to dr. gallo. it sounds an awful lot to -- an awful lot like the cold war. you're talking about sanctioning members of congress. there is been a big shift in american opinion about engaging with china. there is growing regret the united states facilitated the ent

has a military presence in taiwan. tensions between beijing and taiwan. around the rise . china is a full sent a rec, hold number of war planes into the islands a defense zone last month. china is the use largest trading partner. taiwan economy remains heavily dependent on china. taiwan is one of the world's biggest technology producers. for example, it supplies many components for the latest smart phones. the. let's bring our guests into the shower. we have joining us from, ty pay, brian hue, writer, and founder of new blue magazine in both hand and south korea, robert kelly, professor of political science and diplomacy. at present national university, and in beijing, victor gout chair, professor at su chow university. welcome to all i could stop haps this time with victor. so what message is being sent? do you think to china by the congressional visit to taiwan? well, 1st of all, this congressional visit to the, or to taiwan a by the u. s. members of congress is of serious violation of the one china policy and the china will a take measures accordingly.

the reasons why she was up taken language about taiwan, taiwan. it's increasing becoming the focal point of sino american competition along with the south, tennessee. and yeah, i think we're sort of sliding there. i don't know. it's going to be as a disaster. yeah, i mean, i was gonna say, is it different this time? i mean, might be easy to draw the cold war parallels, but the economies of the, of the u. s. in china, or western countries in general and china much more into dependence. right. the china is much wealthier, more wealthy than the soviet union was. that's right. and a couple things, 1st of all, chinese greater wealth means that it really does are in the cold work. last degree you're longer, right? i mean, the soviets were already losing a cold war by the 1970, because they simply couldn't afford the military spending to keep up with nato. and the countries around it, china got a much greater capacity. it actually slug this out and drag on for decade on the other hand. so the good news is because the 2 are you can look and reply and both

you are to understand taiwan. it helps to understand its history. austrian asian, indigenous peoples have long codes the island home. the dutch and spanish tried to colonize it, and china's ching dynasty administered it for a little over 200 years. which is why today china claims historical ownership. they lost it to the japanese who ruled it for 50 years until the end of world war 2. it then became part of the republic of china. this was also the time of the chinese civil war. when mao's red army was pushing out china's nationalist rulers, the k. m. t. mout won, and about 2000000 k m. t soldiers and refugees fled to taiwan. the last remaining part of the republic of china mows communist land became the peoples republic of china. and the world found itself with 2 chinas. at 1st, taiwan was seen as the real china. but that changed in the seventy's when the u. s . and the u. n. recognized beijing as the official china, anti ones republic of china became what we have to day, a largely unrecognized non state. ah, the

taiwan issue. when congress passed the taiwan relations act, when administration after administration pursued a one china policy, we did so on the presumption that there would be peace in the relationship between taiwan and china. there isn't much peace today. there's assertiveness and aggression. i don't think -- we cannot trust the chinese on this issue. we have to be aware of their rhetoric, aware of it and the rhetoric of its leader and many other chinese leaders in recent months has been that they intend to take back taiwan. our responsibility is to make taiwan a tough nut to crack. help it increase its asymmetric defenses through the taiwan relations act. other countries can do that as well. it's a central issue in the relationship now. >> i agree with that. the thing that i guess i'm concerned about as much as anything is watching what they have been doing with the incursions into the airspace reminds me of hong kong. it's pushing the envelope. it gets worse and worse until it collapses. tha

- for example, taiwan? yes. taiwan is— for example, taiwan? yes. taiwan is a _ for example, taiwan?example, taiwan? yes. | taiwan is a tough bargain to sell with its historical relationship. if you are not going to be offering aid to a relatively poor nation, i know beijing had earlier in the year offered vaccines to honduras as a kind of character to draw them away from taiwan. taiwan had said we are not playing these games. we will see if taiwan is able to change the narrative because taiwan also has its vaccine that could potentially offer to honduras and the remaining allies it has in the region.— in the region. briefly, how do ou see in the region. briefly, how do you see the _ in the region. briefly, how do you see the next _ in the region. briefly, how do you see the next few- in the region. briefly, how do you see the next few weeks l you see the next few weeks going, and the election, i am not asking you to call it but what are the possible outcomes? depending on who wins, i think the us will obviously be involved. there is already reporting that a us representative went do

towards taiwan and towards taiwan status.'m concerned that long-standing policy and it's a policy that exists across democrat and republican administrations. i'm concerned that it is undermining our efforts to bolster taiwan. i have long advocated there is great virtue to clarity. in foreign policy. the state department is notorious for embracing lack of clarity. and strategic ambiguity seems to be one of the favorite tools of foggy bottom. in the context of china and taiwan, the chinese communist party, i believe, interprets ambiguity as weakness and a signal we're not committed to taiwan's security. how do you assess our current efforts to deter china and what do you think the role that strategic ambiguity has in the current efforts? >> thank you, senator. my own view and this is the view, of course, and more importantly of the biden administration. the smartest and effective way for us to help deter aggressive actions by taiwan across the taiwan straight will be to stay with the policy that's been in place. and that's the

fly overs of taiwan in recent weeks.er here of an unintended conflict breaking out? >> this has always been the danger. we're reminded of the taiwan missile crisis in the 1990s. look, if there is miscalculation it would be one of china's own making. let's also be clear, number one, these are standard chinese maneuvers. secondly i don't think the u.s. government representatives or americans for that matter necessarily have to bow down to what chinese demands are. it's very clear that china -- well, china is making demands not just on the united states, but on any other country in the world, does not recognize taiwan. i don't think that's acceptable to most countries. in fact, two weeks ago the europeans are clearly also proceeding with engaging with taiwan in a manner that is actually historic. even the europeans are no longer willing to stay on the sidelines. >> the u.s. keeps trying to walk this fine line. they recognize the one china policy, but also maintain relationships with taiwan. how long can the u.s. keep doing

congress woman nancy mace was in taiwan in the last few days and she spoke with taiwan's president. she joins us next. >> man: what's my safelite story? my truck...is my livelihood. so when my windshield cracked... the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl? >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ hi sabrina! hi jen! hi. so you're the scientist here. i just have to ask. does my aveeno® daily moisturizer really make my dry skin healthier in one day? it's true jen. really?! this nourishing prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin. one day? for real! wow! aveeno® healthy. it's our nature.™ i gotta say i'm still impressed. very impressed. new daily moisture for face. i can't let diabetes get in my way.ur body now for your face. i've got way too much stuff to do. w daily moisture for face. so here's what i do. i wear this dexcom g6. it continuously sends my glucose numbers to my phone, and this arrow shows me where i'm headed and how fast. check out dexcom.com/inrange. as i observe investors balance risk and

there are more visits by the merican officials to taiwan ships go through regularly, the taiwan straits to sort of to emphasize the freedom of fading. and people come like the australian prime minister come to taiwan and say, well, of course i can see it would be possible either for australia or america, not just for taiwan. should china attack it or invade it? okay, well, so since it's what's causing them, the chinese is great anxiety about similar tenuously while that's happening in the south china sea or the indo pacific as, as we now call it the all because veal, the pull out of a get this done. i mean the obviously the we their easton took is done is that make the movement has been taken off the u. s. terrorist list and you, china is putting $2000000.00 of burn leave investment to have get this done. one f b i whistle blow, sybil edmund sydney to seize. jin chang is the next tie. one is actually it happening simultaneously. is that credible lid? no, it's a little bit. i think this is very credible because me and part of sullivan's talk, he said, part of setting the part of setting

of recession from beijing to taiwan. >> yes. can you hear me now? i think i was talking about energy. i should have been talking about broadband in alaska. we just lost everything here. i apologize to everybody watching. let me go to your question. i think it is one of the most important questions facing us right now. as you mentioned, senator kunz and senator duckworth and i were all in taiwan recently and it was in reaction in a lot of ways to the chinese commonest party possibly very aggressive actions with regard to vaccinations where they were really trying to put the squeeze on taiwan to not enable them to get any western vaccines when they had their first real big covid outbreak. we worked together. republican democrat senators, the biden white house to be able to go there and deliver american vaccines and show that this is a commitment to a long-standing critical and important democracy in the world. from my own personal perspective, taiwan has really book ended my military career. when i was a young infantry officer, i

taiwan is a neighbor. i think it's within, i think you can see it from taiwan a vice versa. this is a much different thing and if americans basically say we can't do well enough to taiwan because the chinese are just too strong. how does that apply to japan and the philippines? that's with china want is a kind of like instead of fighting everybody basically taken a few of these guys and the message goes around look, sometimes you're going to be put under the hot microscope and it will go poorly for you. the americans will talk a big game but magical. it's better to cut a deal. that's a very real possibility. at cutting remark about the ties fairly or not but he said they bend before the wind blows. it's an expression that applies to almost pre-much every country, which is they will see where the wind is going and if they think they're going to be left out to dry a will cut a deal. >> so, as the united states puts its strategies together to determine that kind of attack, deterrence theory, which i'm not a scholar, canada divides itself into these thoughts about deterrence by

know anyone why taiwan. a strategy of denial is better because it asks less in terms of suffering and our sacrifices, hopefully because denial is taking that sword out of the other guy's hands. the punishment strategies, usually they don't work as well because people will often resist giving up something they care about even under pressure, but also because, if you inflict punishment on something, it's one thing if the other guy doesn't have to inflict punishment back to you. china does in a big way, they can turn off sanctions and tik tok and conventional strikes on them and nuclear strikes on the homeland and in fact, as we've learned from admiral richard and generals, they're being accelerating from what we can tell. if we start punishing them. what are they going to do? punish us back. how does that end? i think likely not in our favor. we use denial to block the invasion, china's best is to invade taiwan and rinse and repeat with the philippines until the coalition falls apart. and we deny the fait acco

what do you think they will talk about or discuss when it comes to taiwan? ., , , ., ., to taiwan? you mentioned, joe biden has — to taiwan? indeed, as you mentioned, joe biden has spoken _ to taiwan? indeed, as you mentioned, joe biden has spoken a _ to taiwan? indeed, as you mentioned, joe biden has spoken a couple - to taiwan? indeed, as you mentioned, joe biden has spoken a couple of - joe biden has spoken a couple of times on taiwan. his utterances had to be clarified, because it was unclear whether it was a shift in the us policy with sugar to taiwan or not, but at the same time, from the chinese are growing quite assertive into the recognition zone of taiwan, lots of activities in the south china sea, so the there is nervousness on both side. what is important is a simple restatement on both sides of existing taiwan policies, both from china and the united states. there is 50 years of history in shaping that policy, and most of it was done in the 1970s and early 1980s. joe biden just restating there is been no change us policy is important and would give some comfort to the

the times in taiwan they are a changin'. and all for the better. the strength of democracy on a municipal level, here in taipei, do you think that is a tool, like a powerful tool? yeah, because taiwan is a small country, and taipei is the capital, so everything happens in taipei is not local. for example, what our mayor says will influence the people's thoughts, nation-wide, so i think it is very important at the taipei municipal level to stop the chinese influence. let's not forget that, officially, taiwan is a province of mainland china, a giant political force that has a complicated relationship with democracy. i think i believe in democracy because of the common ground for us to stand together and fight with china. we fought for democracy for a very long time, and especially the younger generations, because i was born in 1987, and so for the young generation like me, freedom, democracy and human rights are essentials for our lives, and we will unite across gender, across race, and anything. that is what we hope. the fight for freedom, for democ

and then for taiwan and japan and it is that window of opportunity.t is an island it is tough with that operation and then if the chinese failed that is catastrophic and then the regional say they are dangerous they are willing to use force and that is the worst outcome from a country like china and safely resistant so we can do the siding. >> . s >> in the south china sea wasn't the case that china had failed complete and also this sort of thing so international arbitration with the philippines that had won a casebo against china with intrusions that china did not care and did what they wanted to do anyway which implied that they can do these things to achieve their objectives but then related to that and then focusing too narrowly on china with the military approach if it's not power projection and then the garden reserve sort of thing. is it really about war? are you to focus militarily speaking on china? and then robert gates saying that we never got our forecasting or predictions right. >> without the respect to secretary gates in a fellowship in

there are more visits by senior american officials to taiwan ships go through regularly leave the taiwan straits to sort of to emphasize the freedom of sailing. and people come like the australian prime minister come to taiwan and say, well, of course i can see it would be possible either for australia or, or american not to support how taiwan should have china. attack it or invade it. okay, well, so synthesis was causing them. the chinese have great anxiety about this simultaneously while that's happening in the south, tennessee or the indo pacific as, as we now call it of the august deal. let me pull out of afghanistan. i mean obviously the we, their easton took his time is nomic, the movement has been taken off the u. s. terrorist list and you, china is putting $2000000.00 of bernoulli of investment to have cat has done one f, b i whistleblower sybil. edmund said, need to see is jim jang is the next tie. one is actually it happening simultaneously. is that credible that nato isn't look ahead? i think this is very credible because i asked me and part of sullivan's talk. he said, part o

taiwan straits, to sort of to emphasize the freedom of fading. and people come like the australian prime minister come to taiwan and say, well, of course i can see it would be possible either for australia or america, not just for taiwan. should china attack it or invaded? okay, well, so since it's what's causing them, the chinese is great anxiety about similar tenuously while that's happening in the south china sea or the indo pacific as, as we now call it the all because deal the pull out of get this done. i mean, the, obviously, the wieder eastern turkey is done is that make movement has been taken off the u. s . terrorist list. and china is putting $2000000000.00 of investment. need to have it done one f, b i, whistleblower sybil. edmund sydney to seize. jang is the next taiwan is actually happening simultaneously. is that credible that? i think this is very credible because actually in part of sullivan is told, he said part of setting the part of setting the skew global order. in the interview. he said, he said also that it would be based on

this idea of rationing that china is gonna evade taiwan. what is the united states going to do about we actually hurt our friendship with france, making sure that we sold, say we how to solve the marines to australia with this idea of national if a national security, if the china and bay taiwan, i'm hearing a lot of double speak right now. what is the truth in this or it is by did not even know. i don't think by knows, montoya, i don't think the by the administration has a clue what they're doing. keep in mind that the one china policy has been played out in how the chinese have treated hong kong there were supposed to be almost a to china separation. so that hong kong could operate with democratic principles and with a free market system that has been crushed without any real pushback by the united states. so the chinese have seen that they could walk all over hong kong, impose their will on hong kong, started arresting people who speak out against the government of china. and hong kong and the united states in the rest of the world didn't

this is the third lawmaker trip in recent months to taiwan. government that it doesn't matter if they whine and moan and complain because american lawmakers and american official have the right and the duty and the interest of visiting taiwan. we have an unofficial diplomatic relationship. there's important industrial ties. and we also support taiwan's democracy, while not actually endorsing their independence or telling them if we're even going to come to their aid if they get attacked. yeah, beijing complaints. that's what they do. they complain about everything. they'll keep complaining. in my opinion, if we yield to the complaints and stop the visits, that encourages them to complain about everything even more. i think there's a benefit in these visits both for united states and also taiwan. i think they'll continue, as well they should. >> josh roggin, thanks for joining me. have a great holiday. . >> you too. >> a terrible tragedy in the english channel has led to a rift between the uk k and france. we'll have a live report next. ? you g

they call it taiwan as a colloquialism. the republic of taiwan would be tantamount to a formal declaration of chinese independence which beijing has warned that is a red line that if taiwan were to cross they could very likely intervene militarily. so there is now a kbig debate happening on the island of taiwan whether this u.s. lawmaker meant to say republic of taiwan or whether it was an uneducated quickly rushed out tweet which we know lawmakers tend to do from time to time. this visit comes just one day after president biden invited taiwan to join its summit for democracy happening next month. another action by the united states that has infuriated beijing. so you have tensions escalating once again on the diplomatic front. what we haven't seen and what we need to watch for is whether that moves to the military of front if beijing once again sends war planes to fly over taiwan. christine? >> a lot of major american companies are careful about how they label taiwan on the maps, on their websites, in drop-down men you --

what does this mean for taiwan moving forward? i mean, it appears that the white house has basically back anything to protect taiwan and this. all right, so the question is going to be, who do you believe? do you believe the president? i'd naturally didn't back taiwanese independence and i think that's probably doubtful. but here's what we do know, we do know that according to the white house, the president was supposed to lay. busy out what they called guard rails that were kind of let china know what lines to not cross over. but apparently those guard rails never came up and i think that is the key point here. so let's go deeper on this issue and bring in danger, unquote, to the miami, her business, go to the trusting issues with us inquiry good to have the here. how will this issue of taiwan impact economic relations between the u. s. and china moving forward? because again, whether president biden conveyed a stronger message for china or not, and maybe that's being debated right now. china is certainly claiming that the u. s .

there are more visits by senior american officials to taiwan. ships goes through regularly the taiwan straits to sort of to emphasize the freedom of sailing. and people come like the australian prime minister come to taiwan and say, well, of course i can see it would be possible either for australia or, or american not to support our taiwan. should china attack it or invade it? okay. well, zillow synthesis was causing them. the chinese is great anxiety about this simultaneously while that's happening in the south, tennessee, or the indo pacific, as, as we now call into the august veal, her lee and pull out of afghanistan. i mean obviously the we, their easton took his ton, islamic movement has been taken off the u. s. terrorist list and china is putting $2000000.00 of boundary of investment into have get, has done one f. b. i whistle blew. well, edmond said nature as he is jang is the next taiwan is actually happening simultaneously. is that credible that? i think this is very credible because actually in part of sullivan's talk, he said part of setting the part of setting you global

in addition to when china is dying to encircle taiwan and much of the world you have a taiwan gettingits own resolve. this is a situation that has danger in many directions and clarity from the u.s. is important. i suggest that tragic ambiguity served the united states on the one hand abiding by one-china policy. but then having deep ties to taiwan, selling arms to the country as well, i think we ought to replace strategic ambiguity with strategic resolve, and figure out what that means, that is the key challenge in my view for the biden white house it is needed. >> kyron skinner thank you so much. >> thank you. arthel: the trial of the set to begin tomorrow for jeffrey epstein's alleged sex trafficking acomp is, what is at stake. ♪ i had a dream that someday ♪ ♪ i would just fly, fly away ♪ ♪♪ this flag isn't backwards. it's facing this way because it's moving forward. ♪♪ just like the men and women who wear it on their uniforms and the country it represents. they're all only meant to move one direction which is why we fly it this way when you're looking for answers, it's good to hav

they are now being very aggressive in their stance toward taiwan. and we should be very concerned about that as are the south koreans, as our japan, australia, the entire pacific coast. because china is being very aggressive and the u. s. administration under biden is not doing anything to push back in any measurable way . well, that's all thing. yeah. we are hearing reports. see that there's actually u. s. troops overtraining in training, taiwanese army, they're over there. actually training right now. they're obviously in south korea, you know, see on one hand, you're hearing this idea that, oh yes, the u. s. is gonna back up tiwana china evades. and then you've been telling, this is very dangerous to me because you're getting 2 different makers and all they know today then media is not covering that the media is not se, nope, according to the chinese minister, they yes, bite and told them that if we made taiwan, they're not gonna do anything about it. that's exactly opposite of the rhetoric that we're hearing out of the media out of this white ho

our unofficial relationship with taiwan. so there have been no changes there whatsoever. yet again, the present yesterday reaffirm the u. s. commitment to the one china policy, the commitment to 3 communicate as well as the commitment to the 6 assurances which my chinese colleagues you know, fail to mention, but that is also natural part of our relationship. i'll be an unofficial with that of taiwan. and the united states has also been steadfast, in its commitment to no unilateral changes in the cross straight situation. and again, i would venture to say that, particularly over the last 12 to 15 months, the exponential increase in purely activities meant to intimidate and coerce the people of taiwan has not done anything to stabilize the relationship. i want to move on from taiwan cuz obviously that is a very thorny subject. we could be talking about that for hours. victor, let me ask you this. this is being referred to as an effort to resets relations all be that the, the, the meeting between the 2 presidents have, as i sai

at the end of the trip we decided to go to taiwan and before we even stepped foot on a plane to taiwan was the chinese embassy pushing back very strongly against every member on that trip, demanding that we don't visit taiwan. and of course i don't get permission from china or communist china to do anything and so we ignored their demands and we went to taiwan anyway and because this was a buy part a san trip, we had an opportunity to meet with the minister of foreign affairs, the president of taiwan and others within their government structure and we did an innovation tour to see the technology that's going on and taiwan really is and can be a beacon of hope for every country that respects and wants to protect freedom and democracy around the world. it was china that flew eight planes across the air international defense zone during our development they're the -- during our visit. they're the ones showing aggression. why the united states and other countries continue to turn the other cheek to china because our phones and i-phones cost so much less because they were manufactured over

and we're going to stand with taiwan. and there's all these ideas of kind of, you know, the way the u. s. once you to do it, versus the way that china views it, which is that the u. s. has never been weaker in their mind. the u. s. has never been more prime to be toppled from its position of power in the world. and china is actively doing that in many ways, but i don't think they're doing it simply for the sake of toppling in the united states. i think they're doing it in order to do what they believe is best for china . and believe it believe this that she's being really as concerned with this idea of re unification as kind of the crown jewel in his administration, in the time that he's been in power. i think this would be the thing that would kind of be his, his keynote moment if he can pull it off. and so i think he is absolutely committed to moving forward. now chris, i have about a minute left, but the real question is, where it economics show, we started talking about these pairs from the trump administration. do we

increasingly engaging taiwan. they are seeing how china is testing taiwan's capacity, so there is a risk that a war could happen if there is miscalculation, so he says be careful. of course, we have had so many great guests on day one of the new economy forum. we heard about talking to continue to open up china to foreign investments. we also had henry kissinger weighing in on u.s.-china tensions and now day two. we have so much more to go, if it is drug development of medicine, pandemic readiness, and of course, climate as an issue as well. haslinda: we talked about taking a pulse check of the health of our planet following cop 26. we are increasingly tapping space to solve problems on earth, and we had one man trying to connect the 50% of the world not connected yet. we are talking about rural areas. how is he doing this? looking to send 300,000 satellites to space that we are able to connect all these people. satellites are getting smaller and smaller to reduce the cost of sending them to space. very, very ambi
