it's all from taiwan, but they have no idea about taiwan.so in the past, we manufactured a lot of things and now we emphasize on research and development. so i think we always want to improve and also prove ourselves on what we can do with limited resources. (che hui liao) i'm a full-time blogger. i'm a tech bloggernd high tech manufacturers in taiwan are always interested in working with me... taiwan isn't a big island, but almost all of the 3c products get launched here initially. most of us technology students strongly believe that if a mobile phone can be successfully marketed here, the product will be a hit all over the world. taiwan is like a miniature-scale example of globalization. i've never heard of a country or region in the world that has such widespread internet access as taiwan. everyone has a phone with network access and it's really affordable. this kind of access is almost unseen in other parts of the world. older generations, like our mothers, fathers and grandparents, they all have cell phones and surf the web. even street

the people of taiwan and our government support ukraine.is not because we had good relations before or we are asking for something in return. we support the ukrainian people because we think it is right. now we are in contact with some cities of ukraine with some parliamentarians. they have united in a taiwanese friendship group and will come to visit taiwan. we are sincerely happy about this. while there are ukrainians who want to establish contacts with taiwanese, they are more than happy about it. we have official persons, our diplomats in poland, who remains in touch with people in ukraine so that the two sides can continue the discussion with each other , this is the help that ukraine needs, which taiwan can provide very soon, your parliamentarians ivan, the head of the foreign affairs committee in the ukrainian verkhovna rada, will visit taiwan very soon. i hope to have the opportunity to discuss our support for each other and the rest of the world. how do you see the prospects for economic relations between ukraine and taiwan in the

on the agenda in taiwan is procurement and contracting , and so on. we joined forces. as part of the open government partnership, we shared tools, including a hackathon, not our presidential hackathon in paris, in the office of the president , that is, it is important that the connections between people and technological connections between communities were interconnected, so when the action offered a simpler form of providing such services, we were very happy. thank you . what lessons can taiwan learn from the experience of ukraine in the fight against cyber attacks and disinformation, i remember when the full-scale invasion began, this whole brutal war from russia, i stayed up all night checking not only twitter, but also the kyiv independent, where many journalists reported from the scene of the events. imagine if there was no internet in kyiv at that time, people there would still be real information, but all they would see would probably be fake russian propaganda and the like, so the number one lesson we've learned is that we must at all costs ensure high-quality

if the taiwanese don't fight, taiwan will be doomed., there is still no agreement among us allies on how to contain china in relations with taiwan. and in general, is washington worth certainly? it is trying to turn the defense of the island into a common cause for all members of the alliance, but so far it is not very successful in nato, many doubt that the bloc needs to intervene in the showdown between china and taiwan, as chief european diplomat josé barrell said in an interview with politics nato was not created for operations in the pacific ocean. this is the north atlantic alliance, nato really has enough problems in europe now to get into another one. let the alleged conflict so far. in addition, if you now throw strength, also to the rescue taiwan, then support for ukraine will clearly weaken the ram, they don’t want to. today, the bloc will again discuss the increase in military assistance to kiev alexei veselovsky maxim zainchenko alexander gusev ntv usa the latest information from the plesetsky cosmodrome, arkhangelsk region

no one is an isolated island, especially taiwan, so to protect yourself from cyber.operate with the international community. anyone in ukraine or elsewhere in the world can donate part of their hard drive to placing our site on it to protect against denial-of-service attacks in service at the beginning of august, there were 23 times more a yes than during the previous peak, which is unheard of, and we also produce through the company tsmc and the supply chain of chips for advanced encryption so that people view private data can calculate train artificial intelligence and so on for the public good this requires advanced chip manufacturing capabilities that we are happy to share with our democratic allies russia's brutal war of aggression against ukraine made headlines in the world media how would you characterize the coverage of events by local mass media in taiwan. i think that all local changes, depending on party affiliation, consider ukraine and taiwan we are very closely related, we are on the front lines of resistance to brutal territorial expansionism, and when

we just want to protect taiwan, dot o d, bayport. our most important mission is to safeguard our democracy and freedom. jo. oh, with both party leaders have picked the candidates themselves, nodes, ocean of their chinese culture. universities say the outcomes will reflect the leaders influence on their parties channel and you will likely be a bellwether for the next presidential election. hang once emphasis. if the d t p fails to meet expectations of those, i might have to take responsibility for the parties performance routing. so we can see she has been showing up at rally after rally doing her best to canvass. she wants, she wants to gain more votes for the candidates. she has chosen to seal a pal rule weight damage on condensing. it's unlikely the election will impact cross traits. relations by the analysts, such as margin way said that b g will be watching the results closely. looking for clues as to where taiwan is had it's warmed out or lying. if the a m t makes a break through ginger, i think this will ease tensions between t

there is one player whoever comes to taiwan, he will still deal with taiwan.is the united states of america, which over the past 30 days has planted tens of billions of dollars in the armed forces of taiwan and will continue to supply weapons. the only thing. there is one problem there. they are now encircling ukraine a lot and taiwan is not really getting the plot now, let's see, and then only then everything became true in early autumn. it is known that washington plans to send weapons worth more than one billion to taiwan dollars and 60 anti-robber missiles. boone and 100 sidewinder missiles, air-to-air missiles and much more, all the same over the past 30 years, america has sent $ 70 billion worth of weapons to taiwan, the current arms purchase contract also includes the infamous himes. the last few months. we are witnessing the expansion of authoritarianism, and as a result, people suffer the pain caused by the war in order to maintain both regional and global peace and stability. i want to reassure you that taiwan is ready for further the deepest coopera

procurement and contracting are on the agenda in taiwan, and so on.ined forces within the framework of the open government partnership and shared tools, including a hackathon not our presidential hackathon in paris in the office of the president, that is, it is important that people-to-people connections and technological connections between communities were interconnected so when action offered a simpler form of providing such services we were very happy thank you what lessons taiwan can draw from ukraine's experience in the fight against cyberattacks and disinformation, i remember when the full-scale invasion began, all this brutal war on the part of russia, i stayed up all night checking not only twitter, but also the kyiv independent, where many journalists reported from the scene of the events. imagine if in that when there was no internet in kyiv, people would still have real information, but everything they would see would probably be fake russian propaganda and the like, so the number one lesson we learned is because we must at any cost provid

on the taiwan situation. he says the taiwan question, is it a very core of china's core interests? the taiwan question is the 1st red line that must not be crossed in china. us relations, resolving the taiwan question as a matter for the chinese and the chinese internal affair. so quite hard line response from the chinese side. but i don't think the us were expecting anything other than that, they wanted both sides to be very honest to share their positions and keep a conversation going, but can stop what is already a shake, the relationship deteriorating further. it, like you mentioned. obviously, taiwan being a sticking point in the relationship with chinese media also come out and see the success of china and the us, the opportunities not challenges for each other. is that more positive than you had anticipated and a good sign for the future of relations. certainly that's the sort of language that the u. s. administration and president biden, and those around him want to hear they know that these 2 countries are going to compete. they all the biggest economic powers on they have

also, is china ready to seize taiwan? that is the question the reporter dexter filkins sought to answer in a new story for "the new yorker." what did he learn from his trip to the embattled island? >>> and it's now been more than two months since a woman died after being arrested by iran's morality police. what do we need to know about iran's gen-z, the young people leading the protest? i'll talk to holly dagres. >>> but first, here's my take. it is heartening to see some important republican figures come out against donald trump. but it's worth noting that many of them embrace him when he proposed a muslim ban, was impeached, and then tried to overturn an election. his real sin in their eyes, is that now he's losing popularity. however, trump's slump among republicans could change. imagine that during the 2024 republican campaign, the republican party runs a large field. ron desantis, nikki haley, liz cheney, among other possible candidates. trump would start with a shrunken base but generate publicity and would likely w

approach to taiwan?so clear that the biden administration was n completely supportive of pelosi going. orvill i think the administration was wary of sticking unnecessary fingers in the eyes of xi in china. in fairness to nancy pelosi, she kinda of got trapped by circumstances. originally she announced that she was just going to asia and then the ft leaked the story. then she was stuck with the fact that china had advanced warning. orinally the plan was just to spend 24 hours and then leave, not be as provocative as it end up being. however, having been in taiwan right after her trip, i think it had a certain utility. as michael noted, there is a norm is tension in the time on streets. xi jinping has been incredibly bellicose, has not used the terry forced to retake taiwan, which he claims is a part of china. nancy pelosi's trip helped to wake up people not only in taiwan, who are used to the status quo, make them begin to recognize tre is a real threat on the horizon, that they have to mobilize themselve

during taiwan's authoritarian era. him to be running is a big deal because he is symbolically such a big figure for the kmt. whether or not he is going to be a future presidential front runner i think really depends on not just the outcome of this election but how he conducts himself as a politician in the future. the common wisdom is that mayors are put in the wing to be future presidential candidates so at the very least high-ranking political officers for parties. these taipei mayoral candidates, whether or not they get elected, are very likely going to remain as part of taiwan's political zeitgeist for the next few years. david: what about as an acid tes t not so much on the individual level, but as a test of the popularity of the party? lev: yeah. so, you know, a lot of people describe local elections as it affect our referendum about how people feel about the parties at this given moment. that is sometimes true but it is also difficult to tease that out because we know that regardless of who is in power at the na

and taiwan was the absolute priority there that there is no, no change in taiwan, china seas, taiwan, part of its territory in viable and it, you know, that the u. s. needs to steer clear at the same time. this is an example of how geo politics feed into the economy, because this is the reason why the u. s. and china are strategic rivalries is because of these ideology differences. and these geopolitical differences feed into the economy because the u. s. doesn't want to help boost the chinese military by giving it micro chips that are produced either in the u. s. or through with allied taiwan. so it's imposed these restrictions. so taiwan is the central issue in these talks in, in macroeconomic terms, just as much as there is a geopolitical issue. now there's been increasing nervousness in the west about dependencies on china. for example, with photovoltaics. the majority of those are produced in china. did we see dependencies as an issue that was discussed today? i think hanging over the hang over these talks. first of all is the threat of global recession. i think that's the reason

and b jane will be watching closely from across the taiwan straits. a strong showing by opposition parties like the china friendly k m t. good influence who enters government in a little over a year. oh, the clock is ticking down to the pause in taiwan and candidates are doing everything they can to wind. voters over campaigning has been particularly fierce in their capital autopay to her. i am here because i am concerned about the future long. oh, everyone can see the value of democracy in suggest that everyone should go home and vote. we need to cast out votes for the person who can make the right choices from people. these elections are primarily focused on domestic issues. however, the china factor is still present in the back ground residents, how england and her governing party have re friend to vote as a message to china and a world that taiwan won't give vent to threats and take away and facing the rise of authoritarianism. we must safeguard democracy. we must have a staunch attitude and the will to resist and defend ourselves here, the better

number two is the taiwan question. you know, on the one hand, i think we've got many reasons to make sure that taiwan is defended and secure against a chinese attack on the other hand, i think anyone who looks at a situation where 90% of the most advanced chips are produced in one small island, that happens to be the world's nastiest geopolitical dispute, i would say that's not a great way to structure your tech industry. and so the more we can do to diversify where advanced chips are produced, whether in the us or in korea or in europe, that's great. i think that's an important step that will limit china's ability to hold the rest of the world hostage to a potential military escalation in and around taiwan and and the chips act, i think, makes important steps in that direction by funding more advanced chip making in the us. and i think the key to understand the chips act is to say that actually other governments have been funding their own chip industries for a long time, providing tax incentives, for example, that ma

that's why it's important that deterrents work in taiwan and that they succeed in china taiwan than it with ukraine. one place where i think there are a lot of parallels is in the fundamental motivation of the leader, the two autocratic leaders of these nations to do this in the first place. a lot of parallels between putin's legacy motivated ambitions with ukraine and xi's legacy motivated ammunitions with taiwan and that's why the situations are both dangerous. and one of the questions i sometimes get as a congressman, what's the biggest story that nobody is talking about right now? i think the biggest, most dangerous story that nobody is talking about, never came up once in any of the midterm fights across the nation is china-taiwan and the threat to national securityments before we get into the questions of technology and a great point you brought up about information and the role of information, both in managing a conflict, as we see with ukraine today, and the u.s.'s role in that and trying to deter a conflict and how we can better use the information and environment. that's one

so taiwan is under attack right now. think what we need to be deterring them on is these lower level tactics. this is about analogy but if we are not deterring them now at this threshold, beijing is going to be more emboldened by taking in even more escalatory steps. final comments, especially if we imagine speaker mccarthy visits to taiwan in march or april. beijing is going to do what it did after the pelosi visit but more. its actions will be designed to show the u.s. and bark is not as its bite. and so we need to be thinking about i had one of the actions beijing is going to take precisely designed to undermine u.s. credibility? and like they do with it pelosi visit, beijing think they won that round because we did not respond. i'm not saying this on the right call but we did not really respond in chinese propaganda. >> why he thanks but that think they won? >> chinese propaganda said we had massive unprecedented military exercises. we flew missiles over taiwan we splashed into japan's ee z. and guess what, the u.s.

i mean, talking about taiwan. specifically, for example, obviously a major chip producer for the world major electronics producer. we've seen more aggression from china when it comes to claiming that territory. the u. s. also saying no, hold on a 2nd. when it comes to that, did we see anything in the talks about taiwan? what more can you say? well, there was the 1600 word readout from the chinese foreign ministry. on the talks on taiwan was the absolute priority there that there is no, no change in taiwan china seas, taiwan, part of its territory and in bible and it, you know that the u. s. is to steer clear at the same time. this is an example of how geo politics feed into the economy. because this is the reason why the u. s. and china are strategic rivalries is because of these ideological differences. and these geopolitical differences feed into the economy because the u. s. doesn't want to help boost the chinese military by giving it micro chips that are produced either in the u. s. or through with allied taiw

will die and that is thwhy it is important that the deterrence works in taiwan. iai think it is a thousand times more important that the deterrence succeed in china and taiwan van it was with ukraine. one place where i do think there are a lot of parallels is the fundamental motivations of the leaders,s, the two autocratic leaders of the nation to do this in the first place. the legacy motivated ambitions with taiwan is why they are both dangerous and the questions i sometimes get is what is the biggest story no one is talking about right now, i think the biggest most dangerous story nobody's talking about and never came up once in any of the midterm fights all across the nation is china and taiwan and the threat that is to world security. >> absolutely. and before we get into the questions about the technology because there is a great point you brought up about information and the role of information and managing the conflict as we see with ukraine today s and the roe in that but also to detour the conflict and how we can better use that information but before w

so the us sides — issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as _ issue of taiwan. absolutely.s sides as they have - issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as they have kept| the us sides as they have kept their one china policy, which acknowledges the chinese position, it does unsupported or endorse it, the chinese say they sticking 6inter their promises. so that seems to suggest that the prc side seems to believe that the us is shifting its position around. though there has been an ongoing issue, that has to sort of play out for a bit. i think the other point on taiwan is that the chinese side has insisted that they will not tolerate taiwan independence. but of course is a long—standing position. the us is ambivalent about how the resolution works out, so long as it�*s peaceful, noncoercive, and consensual. so i think for those parts there seems to be some differences between the two sides. some differences between the two sides-— two sides. professor, how do ou two sides. professor, how do you think _ two sides. professor, how do you think other _ two sides. professor,

that is not just taiwan. there's a potential flash point for war a but also the activities of north korea good of his chief of the national origins walk of their reporting from barley. thank you. very much, richard. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has visited the newly liberated city of san. he congratulated ukrainian troops who retook the city last week. remnant claims gas on is still part of russia. and he says, investigators have uncovered evidence of russian war crimes in the region while and coast on. he said ukraine wants peace, but not on russian terms. a, do all the country do temporary divided chairs and goes, this is a beauty by this long way. difficult to way because this use war 2, the best heroes to walk on. and so, but for us to worry understandable, we don't believe russia. yes. yeah. they had 3 games with all the well, that's why we're doing, we're, we're, we're ready for our lease for our conference learning. zalinski speaking that no russian forces have destroyed much of harrison's inf

taiwan is under attack now. what we need to turn them is a lower level gray zone tax. -- gray zone tactic. if we don't deter them at this threshold, aging will take more escalatory steps. final comment, the equation we need to be solving for is, beijing's tactics especially if we imagine there is a speaker visit in taiwan in april, aging will do the same actions but more, it will be a good time to show that the united states park isn't as good as its bite. we need to think of where it has been precisely designed to undermined u.s. culpability. -- credibility. we did not respond to chinese propaganda. chinese propaganda is saying look, we conducted massive unprecedented drills. compared to the pla having to watch the u.s. of flex its military muscle, now we essentially stared down the u.s. and the propaganda directed at taiwan is, do you think these guys will be there for you, they were not there for you there. ask there was pressure on -- >> there was pressure on nancy pelosi not to go. >> i will not get into th

for when it comes to taiwan, time is not on our side. we had entered the window of maximum danger, a reference to phil davidson, assessing that china may make a move on taiwan within the next five years. a hard power within the davidson window is dangerous. and yet the biden administration insists on doing just that. the defense budget would force the navy to bottom out at 280 ships in the air force to cut over 1000 airplanes by 2027, just in time for the hundredth anniversary to target them for having the capability to take taiwan. most of the transformative technology invested in with the 9.5% increase in the research and development budget from weapons to domain command-and-control may not be fielded until the 20 30's, if at all. making matters worse, we are running low on the munitions that are essential to both ukraine and taiwan. two months into the war, we have already sent ukraine a quarter of our entire stockpile. in more than seven years. admittedly, some people think i'm too pessimistic and think that the 59-year-old xi jinpin

we do not have that option with taiwan. one of the first things china will do is blockade the island so that we cannot come in after the fact and supply them weapons. everything they need for the fight we have to have on the island to begin with. the second factor is the usefulness of the national guard. ukraine has shown remarkable resilience with civilians taking up arms. many have been trained in the past or gotten training before the conflict. taiwan is behind in developing a national guard but they are moving in the right direction and they are just about to pass a law to extend national guard training and service. they recognize this is an issue. the third lesson is the value of asymmetric weapons. you have 1000 dollar drones taking out $50 million tanks. do not quote me on the exact prices. but, you get the point. asymmetric capabilities are absolutely critical. taiwan has a history of wanting traditional capabilities and we have got to make sure they beef up the asymmetric capabilities. another aspect is intelligenc

a. taiwan policy is nothing sort of a balancing act with the us, not recognizing taiwan as an independent state, but having legally committed itself to give taiwan everything it needs. so it is able to defend itself. so go figure and is. so there's an implicit, at least recognition that it is part of china, and that is of course, something where it china has become a lot more assertive in the past is increasingly becoming more assertive in the whole region. and the u. s. is also, and it had been turning its focus away from europe actually towards the pacific asia region. and there, yes, there is clearly a stand off there, but this stand off right now seems to be back to words a sort a couple months ago we saw nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house travel there. and there we saw some military demonstration there. that was a very tense moment indeed, but the seems to be a rhetoric climbed down from that for now. another tension point broaden told gee that the united states would bolster it presents in asia, if by aging is unable to influence north korea's nuclear testing. i wonder how much

[22.7] >> what we sense in taiwan is us commitment to taiwan security is becoming clearer than ever.ill continue to use this momentum to deepen security partnership between our two sides. nick: there is momentum. but would you rather see a change in u.s. policy giving up strategic ambiguity? >> actually, taiwan realized that it's our responsibility to safeguard our sovereignty and democracy. so we will continue our endeavor to beef up our defense capacity. and we would also, you know, invite stronger support of our international partners so as to make beijing understand that taiwan is not alone. nick: deputy foreign minister, thank you very much. >> thank you so much to be here . ♪ judy: the recent international climate summit put a spotlight on the problem of methane emissions which are responsible for about 30% of the planets warming. more countries are pledging to reduce those emissions. and the united nations is creating a methane detection program using satellite technology. but methane leaks remain a serious problem, particularly at a time when the u.s. has increased oil and na

we have gdp figures out of taiwan.l coming out on friday and between now and then, more growth numbers out of south korea and you get an idea of what sentiment is like in china with the pmi numbers. and we have a rate decision out of thailand on wednesday and jay powell speaking as well. let's get back to the markets. mark mobius is still with us. i wanted to get a sense of your readout of china just because the chinese communist party has a compact with its people and it is, stay with us, we will deliver you growth and lift you out of property -- poverty and keep you in employment. bear with us, but has the situation rocks that agreement? mark: no question about it, this lockdown has really affected so many people all over china. this means that their incomes have gone down, they have been restricted in so many ways. it is probably one of the big question marks we have to ask ourselves. do people feel that the party has let them down? from the demonstrations we are seeing, many people believe that to be the case. this

now with tensions growing cross, the strait of taiwan. china has reacted angrily to lithuania, opening a trade office and the south ruled islands. capital taipei growing trade. closeness between the baltic skate. anti wan has raised hackles and vision, trying to consider as taiwan part of its own territory and has threatened to caesar by force. so it was angry, ran a taiwanese fun, so it would invest in little it's a little rainy laser company and war investments are on the way or for moral or spring in dw correspondence. so song, han, anti paid. so tell us more about was taiwanese investment in lithuania, but now angering beijing. well, i want to give you a little bit background in the beginning on the do the engine trade representative office open in taiwan on monday. as soon afterwards i went and ours is a 3500000 euros investment in literally it's luthey any and them tow 2nd lasers manufacturer by the end of this year tie was expect to invest 10000000 euros in lieu the any. so if we look at these 2 places, taiwan and leave the area both relatively small, but key economies in the in

would come to taiwan's defense. -- did joe biden change the --. >> gary, i thought you had your hand up. >> all of this disagreement today is based on our difference in evaluating the situation. we do not have time to debate the outcome of the war in afghanistan and iraq. clearly they are different for a reason. afghanistan was a stalemate and staying there would preserve the same status quo for many years so there was no threat of taiwan taking over. let me talk about something i know better. russia and ukraine. next year, putin's regime will collapse. ukrainian victory will mean --. dictators always -- we should think about what will happen in this new russia and if we could make russia an ally because china is the main antagonist in this new war but i do not think we should talk about china and russia getting closer. nixon couldn't imagine. ukraine is celebrating taken over curse on -- kherson. it is not just about numbers. numbers are irrelevant. it is about the mood in the country and the mood is really dark. w

so here it is, of course, sad for taiwan.re sad i must say that this kind of publications, they reflect reality, but they reflect. this is a different reality. very often behind such publications are the interests of the military-industrial complex, which simply pays money in order to raise the feeling of the military backwardness of the united states, in fact, they certainly have reserves, but i would like more, and here such information, no in no case should the chinese relax us either, because the americans will supply and force others to supply. how much is another question, because there are serious economic restrictions, which we talk about after advertising. my game in a circle in the dynamics of fresh tracks new fanatics album in luzhniki on friday at the first faberlic discount you see, the one who will no longer overpay for communication. yes in reflection you get 350 minutes 35 gb popular. social networks video services for 399 rubles. in yota, connect to yota now in all megafon salons, an innovative cough medicine

one-china policy, taiwan's relations act.ee joint communiquas that we agreed with china in the 1970's and 1980's that laid out from our perspective that there should be no unilateral changes to the status quo across the taiwan strait. we continue to believe that and will continue to push back against any effort to change the status quo by force. david: there is legislation moving through congress to toughen up the existing support the u.s. has for taiwan. has the administration adopted a position on that legislation yet? jake: i will have the opportunity later today to go to the hill and talk to members about this legislation. i would prefer to lay it out to them before i lay it out on tv, but i will say this, there are elements of that legislation with respect to how we can strengthen our security assistance to taiwan that are effective and robust, that will improve taiwan's security. there are elements that give us concern. david: let's go back to ukraine. in hindsight, which is always 20/20, is there anything that administ

about taiwan. but the problem is ukraine, because biden has been warning the chinese about supporting vladimir putin. the chinese openly support potent, especially with military information. the united states doesn't do anything, and the danger is that seizure thing says, well, you know, biden says the right things about taiwan, but you know, he isn't doing anything to me on ukraine. so, you know, obviously the american president is not willing to confront me. so i can do what i want, and i want or anywhere else. think that somebody, univision, you said earlier that the u. s. president is, should have been sitting there with his western allies of western european allies. and of course, that means germany. germany though, is heavily invested in it's heavily dependent on the chinese economy at the same time. if it's a u. s. allied, is it going to be forced one day maybe sooner rather than later to to decide to 2 sides? well, the president biden is not forcing germany to choose sides, but at one time
