lai once said he would be a pragmatic -- for taiwan's independence. but lai has been very cautious and he has avoided such remarks since becoming vice president in 2020. his interview also reflected his sensitive approach in convincing the international community that he would not stop tensions with beijing. >> are there any signals in his interview saying that lai will restore the relationship with beijing once he's president? >> well, i believe it will be a very difficult task for him to resume dialogue with beijing. china's leaders has been refusing official contact with taiwan since president tsai ing-wen took office in 2016. that's because she doesn't acknowledge beijing's one china principle. and lai made it clear he can't accept beijing's narrative as a precondition for talks. beijing also can't afford to make concessions on this point, so it wouldn't change the cost. >> what do you think will be key in gaining voter support in the runup to the presidential election? >> surely china is the biggest ticking point. recent support shows lai of the

what was a pretty bad job situation in taiwan before this year? okay, so one extreme replacing another. thank you so much for that update that is james tate or for us in taipei. i was checking on some other world news headlines at this hour. the desk told from torrential flash floods in india has arisen to at least 14 with over 100 people still missing. the disaster was triggered when a glacier lake burst on leasing. a wall of water down stream, floods from him away and lakes have become more common in recent years. due to global warming. more than 650 migrants have reached spain's canary islands and 5 large wooden boats. over the past 2 days, nearly $15000.00 migrants have reached the islands off the african coast so far this year. haven't crossed one of the most dangerous migratory routes in the atlantic. most of them departed from senegal. and more than a $120.00 amazon river dolphins have been found dead in the tough a lake region of purcell. a research group with results, ministry of science. as the unprecedented high water temperatures were

for the world semiconductor, advanced semi conductor manufactured by taiwan semiconductors and thereical tensions with china if china were to invade or attack the country that could disrupt supplies for companies and impact national security, what you are seeing right now taiwan is printing out around the world they're building a plant in germany and japan and mainland china and the u.s. and the goal is to reassure customers that their chip supplies are secure and one of the biggest customers is going to be apple, tim cook said they will buy a lot of chips from arizona. carleton: when you talk about the plans being built throughout the world including the u.s. it seems that the cost of producing chips is going to go well. it might seem this is more politically motivated than economic, can you explain. >> there are definitely political motivations. everybody wants chip security and there's no question that the cost will be higher, taiwan is extremely efficient at producing semiconductors there but there is money now, 2022 bipartisan chips act gold out more than $39 billion in subsidie

but it's really in the small islands of taiwan is mainland. the biggest impact is being felt of the report suggesting that one of the world's most powerful gusts of wind and the recorded hit, the small islands or his island of ty, one south, east coast. augusta of over $200.00, most proud close to 350 kilometers per hour. so as to what happens next. it's hyphen has now expired since a week, and a little bit is it moves to was china, southern coast. but officials, harris still warning that heavy rank has continued to blow off the southern parts of taiwan lutherans this evening. and has taiwan made adequate preparations to withstand these kinds of conditions? well, kinda wanna sort of use that as sort of situations how things are fairly regular, the islands situated in a tropical setting. so there's a fairly well wales machine that springs into action and involves the stones today . millions of people have in order to stay at home and that's across most these high ones, south and central areas. and it's really those measures that limits deaths a

plus mainland china, and taiwan views one china as taiwan plus mainland china. each one of his column, relying on everything cenping not, as it was said at the 20th congress of the communist party of china last year, i do not exclude, at the same time, in the fact that he hopes, it means the will of the people, and the understanding of the people that china has to be united, he does not, does not object to the fact that , if necessary, military force will be used, and now he confirmed a couple of days ago, at this solemn meeting, that for under any conditions, china will be united and no force will stop us from doing it in our plans, which means our aspirations, this is how he views the problem, because , well, in principle, we understand that what china , that taiwan is the only chinese... state, especially since if we take history, then when in the 49th year, then the kuomintang, then the ruling force, was forced to defeat. means the communist movement led by mazeduno to go to taiwan, to the island of taiwan, that is, marzida and changkaishi at that time, they considered china as a

it necessarily entails taking over taiwan at some point. i think that is xi jinping's lifelong ambition, and i don't think his ambitions stop there. if chinese economic growth is a means toward that end, or just a way to fill the party's coffers -- the largest sustained peace time buildup since the second world war, and if you think about the numbers, they are daunting, they are overwhelming. we have been twiddling our thumbs thinking about how to grow the size of the american navy. china has the biggest navy in the world. bigger than our navy. for those who say it is not a big deal, our ships are more capable, quantity has a quality all of its own. when you add in the other fact that china has the three biggest navies in the world. to say nothing about what is most problematic for our navy, which is their anti-navy, designing a force exclusively over the last 20 or so as to push us out of region. that to me is a problem. what they are doing in xinjiang is a problem. the fact that they are leveraging economic power to coerce american compan

tasting taiwan whiskey at a national day reception.ye on the taiwan crisis, the states are actively preparing their two main allies in the region, siul and tokyo, for war. in japan, the us plans to deploy its space force in korea nuclear this week the nuclear aircraft carrier ronald reagan entered the port of busan and will remain there until at least monday. both countries should become a military springboard for the united states in the event of a re-conflict with china over taiwan, reaction beijing followed immediately. from saigon to kabulul, from iraq to libya, the us has fanned the flames everywhere for its own self-interested purposes. as the situation worsened, the americans fled and left the mess for others. china believes that these examples will make taiwanese compatriots realize that taiwan independence is a dead end and outsiders cannot be trusted. this year alone, taiwan ordered one and a half years worth of military services from the united states. including tracking systems, spare parts for f-16 aircraft, ammunition and

, because judging by how the united states of america is trying to help taiwan now. who and what do you think can be done in this period , the commission that was created at the congress, which studied the possibility of a major war, a global war, that is, what are the most critical points in the world now , geographically, which are the most critical? well, actually, we all know them, it's us, it's the middle east. uh, russia, of course, can raise the stakes, and provoke, or directly attack, as well others, biden also talked about it, taiwan, taiwan is about, chinese or non-chinese identity, it's about understanding xi, where he 's taking china, it's about chips for the whole world, because the most advanced chips are made in taiwan, if you look to taiwan's gdp, it is larger than that of any of the european countries, and high technologies are the key to this, but i do not rule out that there will be other hot spots, even the region. i absolutely do not rule out that something will happen in africa, i absolutely do not rule out that the near east will explode, i do

about chips for the whole world, because the most advanced chips are made in taiwan, if you look at the gdp of taiwan, it's bigger than any of the european countries, and high technologies are the key to this, but i do not rule out that there will be other hot spots, even regions, i absolutely do not rule out that something will happen in africa, i i absolutely do not rule out that the entire middle east will explode, i do not rule out that something can happen between india and kashmir, that is , in fact, many different very , very difficult areas where the situation can develop unpredictably. and why is this speech by biden and the packaging of this aid so important, biden says that we have to win all wars, for democracy and against autocracy, if somewhere we make ourselves weak and give, some, some... concession, then in fact it is a reflection on everything, on everything else, i would not count at all, and would not engage in analysis risks, where and what may arise, now is such a time, this is a reboot of the world system, that we need to be ready for everything, well, how are

whether it's taiwan first and then korea, or it is korea first and then taiwan here if one starts howyou deter the other? it's not the conversation isn't that lets all rally around together and figure out how we fight two wars at once. it's really how do we deter in peacetime? how do we deter in peacetime should something happen one of these places that it doesn't happen in another place? that is a conversation that requires certainly from a u.s. perspective and also from seoul and tokyo's perspectives how the three militaries can work together in terms of coordinating peacetime deterrence. including other ideas like taiwan is a contingency that definitely involves the united states and japan, but korea as a contingency that involves not just the united states but there's united nations speediest so unc, and so president yoon i think certainly for the first time in august 15 speech, , rig, made reference to unc rear bases. tremendously important statement. >> the first of a korean president said that. >> yeah. i mean come on the occasion of the august 15 speech, a timidly significant

francine: what do you think happens with taiwan? nancy: we recognize china.ur visit did nothing to alter that. we have laws that govern our relationship with china and our relationship with taiwan, which are very specific, and we are committed to helping taiwan defend itself should they be attacked. we don't want any change in status unless it would be done peacefully, but no aggression from either side. francine: we are seeing a downturn in terms of the economy in china which could impact the rest of the world. do think president xi is losing control of it? nancy: we and other countries decided to ride this tiger, and we poured money -- we just bought everything they had to sell, we increased it. and then when their economy is in trouble, we were, like, oh, it has an impact on us, surprise surprise, surprise surprise but it is not -- we don't want any country to suffer because people suffer economically. i understand this, it is a centralized economy. it is a one-man show. it is not anything about values, governance, integrity, certainly nothing to do with d

ithink— taiwan. without a show of strength now, i think there _ taiwan.ow, i think there is a realistic- now, i think there is a realistic possibility— now, i think there is a realistic possibility of _ now, i think there is a realistic possibility of war— now, i think there is a realistic possibility of war in _ now, i think there is a realistic possibility of war in three - possibility of war in three different— possibility of war in three different theatres. - possibility of war in three different theatres. and . possibility of war in three i different theatres. and even possibility of war in three _ different theatres. and even without the use _ different theatres. and even without the use of— different theatres. and even without the use of nuclear— different theatres. and even without the use of nuclear weapons, - different theatres. and even without the use of nuclear weapons, it- different theatres. and even without| the use of nuclear weapons, it would be effectively — the use of nuclear weapons, it would be effectively world _ the use of nuclear

in particular, it is about aid for the state of israel, for ukraine and attention for taiwan.urrent situation , there is no doubt that it will be a joint package. the second is that he will be voted. what's more, i can tell you that it will even hit the trumpists very hard, because they are in an idiotic situation right now. they cannot block aid to israel and taiwan, because it is in their interest, including the economic one. but now it turned out that ukraine has taiwan. and israel has one enemy, you understand what the situation is, and this friendship of the trumpists with the führer of moscow, it becomes an obstacle, a very serious one, so it is obvious that, firstly, it guarantees that the package will be voted, it is obvious from my point of view, secondly, that it is very serious will affect the course of domestic politics in the united states, including...' on the arrangement of persons, including this will affect the election of the chairman of the house of representatives, which is to be held, candidates are already allegedly nominated there by republicans and so o

president biden tied in one package. three nodes problems: russian aggression, israel and taiwan.irst, it won't overshadow, secondly, you forgive me, because i'm formulating like that on the go, i'm not yet familiar with these things. guys, what we see now is for these human monsters who write about what, we don't know, what happened in ukraine for 10 years, but here in two days, such a nightmare, well, because you don't know, because you are raging, you should have wiped your brains, and in the end you will see what is happening in ukraine, and what is happening now in israel, this is the 10th year that it is happening in ukraine. in different numbers, in different arrays and so on, and the scale of the nightmare that is happening in ukraine, they exaggerate a hundred times what is happening in israel, but now i am not measuring myself by announcements of tragedies, i say once again, i am just now on the move with you, but i am trying to find, well, normal wording these things that lie on the surface, you just have to see them, pay attention to them... pay attention, i will just

what was a pretty bad job situation in taiwan before this year? okay, so one extreme replacing another. thank you so much for that update. that is james trader for us in taipei so that we can take a look now is mother world news headlines. the death toll from torrential flash floods in india has risen 2014 over a 100 people still missing. the disaster was triggered when loose rock that had been damning a glacier wake. first. on wishing a wall of water down stream, floods from him away and lakes have become more common in recent years due to global warming. more than 650 migrants have reached spain's canary islands and 5 large wooden boats over the past 2 days. nearly $15000.00 migrants have reached the islands off the african coast so far this year. having crossed one of the most dangerous migratory routes in the atlantic, most of them departed from senegal. azerbaijan, the president has pulled out of talks with armenia in spain, his armenian counterparts, as he regret, azerbaijan, z decision to skip today's meetings on the sidelines of european s

, nothing else for china, in taiwan now and nothing else is interesting to china, taiwan now probablytion here is, but not for and our hawaii, hawaii, yes, hawaii is fortros. and part of california, somewhere there was also forrtros, so here they can demand only from one country, or rather , agree with only one side, that’s it, that now it’s big, it will never be possible to come to an agreement with china, china has its own interests, china has its own interests , to get, for example, the same taiwan, it’s that simple, well, why not, the problem is different, no one believes in america, america she proved to the whole world that she doesn’t know how. there is no need to believe or not to believe, if chinese units enter taiwan, there is no need to believe, that’s all, therefore, and for this purpose there is no need to negotiate anything with the americans, somehow it is necessary now. what we need to talk about now, taiwan is an internal issue of china, according to china, china, of course, the americans insult china and the chinese leadership all the time, that someone could have fo

on taiwan, i think in recent months the u.s. has been proceeding very cautiously. i think we understand that for taiwan there is a careful calibration of deterrence and dual assurance. you typically think of it as you need to deter china and you need to reassure taiwan. the truth also is that you do need in some way to quietly deter taiwan not to shift further towards independence and you do need to quietly reassure china that peaceful reunification is not out of the window, right? so it's a careful calibration of dual deterrence and dual reassurance and i think the u.s. is managing that quite well, if you ask me. and what people have expressed about the u.s. removeing away from strategy, i think there are others that should be less concerned whether china is moving away from strategic patience because it is that strategic patience that peaceful reunification in whatever form is within reach that has helped to preserve the peace and stability of our part of the world. >> thank you. let's take a question from the room. go ahead. >> thank you. i am a fellow studying

house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan in august last year. but president joe biden has been sending key members of his administration to china in recent months. >>> vice foreign ministers from japan and south korea have held strategic talks in seoul. such meetings had not been held for nine years. japan's vice foreign minister and his south korean counterpart met on thursday. officials in charge of north korean affairs also took part. they discussed the north's recent moves including its efforts to strengthen military ties with russia. the officials condemn what they call pyeongyang's provocations using its nuclear and missile programs. they agreed to work closely with the united states to meet the international community's firm response. they also agreed to step up cooperation with china. government officials from the three nations are trying to arrange a trilateral summit by the end of the year. >>> and japanese government has filed a lawsuit to try to get a controversial landfill approved. it's part of a plan to relocate a u.s. military ba

with its taiwan first and then korea or korea and then taiwan, how do you detour the other.not the conversation let's all rally together and figured out how we play two wars at once it's's how to detour in peacetie should something happen in one of these places that it doesn't happen in another place. that is a conversation that requires certainly from a u.s. perspective and tokyo's perspective how the three militaries can work together in terms of coordinating peacetime deterrence including other ideas like taiwan as aiw contingency about involves the united states and japan. about korea involves not just the united states but the united nations command. i think certainly for the first time in the august 15 speech made reference. a tremendously important statement. >> the first time a korean president said that. the occasion tremendously significant statement. for the three countries to work together in a way that they've not really had to contemplate before we may have wanted them tove think about these things bt now they are just a reason to do this, so we do have this op

or taiwan or. . ._ taiwan or... taiwan or... idisagree. i don't think we've - taiwan or... i disagree. i don't think we've lost - taiwan or... i disagree. i | don't think we've lost the argument. i think in certain sectors, yes, absolutely. tech sector, semiconductors remember those are two sectors with the overall goods trade is still happening seven 25% i don't think we quite lost there. moving on to the slump in personal computer sales over the the past two years. but that could soon come to an end, according to the tech research firm gartner which is forecasting a rebound of shipments in the final quarter of this year. that would be an increase from the 9% drop in thejune to september quarter of this year — that's the preliminary analysis. but hp was the exception — staying resilient in the third quarter. but the firm's director analyst mikako kitagawa says growing geopolitical tensions could impact the industry. right now there are a lot of uncertainties and also the potential risk of geopolitical situation wil

china believes that these examples will make taiwanese compatriots realize that taiwan independence iscannot be trusted. just this year, taiwan ordered from the us. weapons and military services worth $15 billion, including tracking systems, spare parts for f16 aircraft, ammunition and anti-ship weapons, but the states of taipei owe much more due to arms supplies to ukraine, so for now taiwan’s main rival is not beijing, but kiev in the fight for a limited amount american military assistance. ksenia nikrasva, anastatia konorovskaya, especially for ntv. bedding. bedbugs are invading new cities in europe. following beyond paris and london, they appeared in manchester. experts say that in great britain the problem is no less large-scale than in france, but in the kingdom they prefer to remain tactfully silent. and this only makes the situation worse. over the past year , insect detections have increased by 65%. they are found in english hospitals, cafes and public transport. passengers are switching en masse to bicycles and scooters. demand for furniture and textiles is falling, people ar

really slowly, heading towards the southern coast of taiwan.ive knots, really, really slow. so, the island of taiwan, the southern part of it, is still being affected by heavy rainstorms and still strong gusts. when we just mentioned about this, a record—breaking gust of 340kmph that was recorded. and the latest reports from local media is that up to 90% of boats moored in the island's fishing harbour have either capsized or sunk, so it's pretty serious, but so far there are no serious injuries. but taiwan as a whole, the government has said they have received reports of up to 190 people being injured, although no major injuries still. so, martin, serious conditions, as you mentioned there. what's the advice being given to people? stay at home, for sure. but it's not like the entire taiwan is in a shutdown mode, mostly the southern part of it. despite major flight cancellations and land transport and ferry cancellations, the high—speed railway is still running as normal. so, if you are in the storm, you'd better stay home. there are school clos

that agent is watching closely. taiwan, you mentioned the taiwan is also involved here. um, how would you respond to the geopolitical risks of its dependence on taiwan for semiconductor? well, the official reply that the key technology policy does not target any content in country or anything of that sort. and that, of course, um european ships are very dependent on this part of the world, not just taiwan, but also south korea, which is why you has proposed that the chipped act, which is 6 to was door. you were your, your ups chip manufacturing power. and again, a reporter in that audience, i'll ask how much china the elephant in the room would affect the policy. the official emphasized that the policy was not designed for china, but that the u. 6. the risk of too much dependence on foreign countries or key technology and therefore it does what they need to do. now on the same day that the list of key technologies was released, the parliament passed the anti cars and instrument legislation. tell us more about that as well. this is also part of the using nomics courtesy f

was visit taiwan. i was wondering if you could frame out, because this has been a cause of yours for years. what we might call plainly chinese imperialism. talk about that in the context of this global struggle for democracy. do you think that the chinese have learned something -- the same question i asked the secretary of state -- do you think the chinese have learned something from the american response to the invasion of ukraine? >> i think so, but let me say this. first of all, the defense secretary when he left, i was so proud of him and what he said. i am always proud of him, but i said, i was there when the russians signed the agreement with president clinton. it was in paris, 1987, and it was the partnership for peace. and the president of russia was there, and he signed it. one year later plus, putin, and that made all the difference in the world. but we had been more hopeful about how we would all come together peacefully and have a piece dividend and all of that. in terms of china, for over

, why is taiwan needed right now, right now it is not needed, now the taiwan card can be played out as all agreements will be supported, is ongoing, but his main bet is to create military production facilities in korea, absolutely, in japan, south korea and in europe, look at his conversation about europe: europe must stop producing civilian equipment, we will give them a lot of money, if they start producing military equipment at a new pace , look at the skillful replacement, transfer civilian equipment to america, and produce military... equipment at home, as they say, read between the lines, who should fight in new war, the japanese must fight, the south koreans must fight, and of course the europeans must also show up, and we are wondering whether the americans themselves will somehow pay for those military conflicts, which are being started all over the world, few people paid attention, but naturally in the american media... it was practically not touched upon that more and more protesters are appearing in the usa, this is the second time protesters have entered the capitol, so ma

, if they left it for this triangle, taiwan, china and the united states, well, plus the sea, this iserned, it is south china, and for example, nato is a european partner... they tried to stay away so that not to spoil the united states, it is beneficial for them to put an end to this history of taiwan and china, well, i would not say, because it will be a conflict between china and the united states, it seems to me that today the parties are trying to find this middle ground that will preserve the status quo, but the way china is modernizing its forces, the way it has mobilized around the island, and the way the island has to some extent heard the support, the voice, at least it can give now in context. against ukraine, they began to look at this issue globally, not as a problem of a local nature, that's all interrelated, the russian aggression against ukraine, the chinese march on taiwan, and where will the march be next, that is, they began to look at security issues in the world in a different way, and accordingly it is obvious that china, too, decides for itself, not the united s
