well that is simply because the maintain peace and stability across the taiwan strait is that the fourof japan's security policy. and precedence, starting 2013 the year, the first year of his presidency of its gold solution to the standoff over sovereignty won't be able to wait forever. so the statement has actually raised, has been a source of alarm in japan about the possibility of a war across the taiwan strait. but, so in terms in order to prevent a conflict across the taiwan strait, i think japan's policy is threefold. one, the first is to invest in japan's defense capabilities. and meanwhile, japan is fully aware, well, japan cannot win a warr alone. so that is why japan, that is why a strong u.s.-japan alliance is indispensable for japan. and third, japan is also working hard to deepen defense cooperation with countries such as australia and iraq, including intelligence sharing, , economic security, cooperation and energy security. also in terms of topic opinion, so i will say the russian invasion of ukraine was a wake-up call to many pacifists japanese, and they have realized t

nick: beijing has adjusted a flight path closer to the median line of the taiwan strait, essentially ing the fight of chinese civilian aircraft closer to taiwan. why is that so concerning? >> first of all, their measure was unilateral. the way they consulted with taiwan back in 2015 when it was established, it increased the dangers of national security for us because planes are flying closer to taiwan, but also increases danger for civilian people because they are encroaching on our airspace, and they should've consulted with us first. nick: i have a question about whether taiwan trust the united states. poll shows the trust has dropped from 45% to 34%. of course we are all watching, where congress has not been able to send mostly to ukraine and also to taiwan in israel, that the administration has promise, and the leading republican candidate is vowing that he will not standby promises to nato. do you trust that in the future, the u.s. will stand by whatever promises it makes to taiwan? >> the recent definition, whenever people talk about taiwan-u.s. relations, the most often used ch

there will be provocations and, well, it will respond even to provocations united states in the taiwan straithat will happen by the end of the year, because if... trump comes to power, in fact, he ’s talking about sixty percent tariffs on china, he doesn’t care about taiwan, he wants to take it out production, the likelihood of war increases towards the end of twenty fourth year. the chinese also have their own delivery service, but it’s so asian, it’s on hainan island in march, but last year there was only one russian at this event, it’s sad to me , actually, all the financial organizations are there. we constantly say there that we have not established contacts with banks and so on, but i urge that this issue be resolved somehow, there will be a large delegation there on march 27, if i’m not mistaken, it means sending our financial representatives here, but somehow not i know, maybe it’s there with mid, with the rosscongress really settle everything, because well, i’m saying this from everywhere, i will be very sad if again one russian appears at the dovos, although we have so much talk abo
