taiwan strait against taiwan,. xi jinguiug strait against taiwan,. taiwan can put up as fierce and effective resistance to the might of the chinese military as ukraine has already put up in the face of the might of the russian military, so the question to you if i may say so, as a representative of your country, is do you believe, honestly, that taiwan is in a position right now to match ukraine and put up that level of effective military resistance?- military resistance? yes, i think we — military resistance? yes, i think we have _ military resistance? yes, i think we have been - military resistance? yes, i. think we have been investing military resistance? yes, i- think we have been investing so many resources to improve our defence capacity, and taiwan does not want to enter into a kind of arms race with china, which is not in taiwan �*s interest because china is much bigger than taiwan in terms of military resources and manpower, so what we want to do is improve our defence capacity, particularly focus on the defence motion of tying our taiwan �*s

taiwan? yes, i think when we talk about the situation in taiwan, one thing i want to share with you is that taiwannt to become part of authoritarian china, particularly after hong kong's situation. no—one in taiwan has any interest in china's proposal for one country, two systems, so if china decides to move towards military adventurism in the taiwan strait, taiwan will take any sorts of efforts to safeguard our democracy and our sovereignty. sorry to interrupt... the endeavour taken by the ukraine people and the government, that is how to build a very resilient civilian society against foreign invasion, and one that has become a very hot issue in taiwan at the moment — that is how to build a very strong system to mobilise our reserve forces and to promote the connection between our civilian society and our defence department, so that has become a very important issue in the parliament's debate in taiwan at this point. that's very interesting. how worried are you by the leverage that nuclear weapons gives china, just as we can see in a certain sense, the leverage it has given vladimir putin, becau

taiwan a country of global importance a country of global consequences a country of global influence, so it must be understood that taiwan's security will have a global impact on those who want to harm this country. harm we are often asked what america will do if the chinese communists attack taiwannsidering all options. that's what i promise the people of taiwan, we'll make them pay dearly for what they do all over the world who support putin should not go unpunished. let's fast forward to china, which should not go unpunished in direct communication with our own correspondent, alexander valetsky krut . sash dashing. we are so modest. maybe if there really are two fronts, it will be more difficult for the americans to wage two wars, but, of course, we will look at that war, we believe. they were also preparing, as china reacted, we saw footage of the exercises. china is also generally ready, as far as i understand. well, you have already seen the footage of the teachings of the chinese armies in the immediate vicinity of taiwan and of course there are not so many of them in chinese social networks. i was looking specifically now, but there is practically nothing and what is being published is the materials of the tv channel of the chinese ministry of defense. but what can you pa

all diplomatic contacts with taiwan a group of american congressmen visited the island the day before . the united states should stop playing the taiwan card or use taiwany oppose actions that cause serious damage to sovereignty and territorial integrity. china, we urge the authorities of the democratic progressive party. taiwan will immediately stop colluding with outside forces to carry out provocations and achieve. the so-called taiwanese independence is hesitantly opposed to any form of official exchanges between the us and taiwan us congressmen should adhere to a policy that china alone adheres to the us government to stop official contacts with taiwan and not go further down the wrong path. china will continue to take firm and resolute measures to resolutely defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, so that the americans understand better, the prc army has begun large-scale exercises off the coast. taiwan in addition, the chinese foreign ministry officially announced that mainland china and taiwan will be united. it already continues to strive to join the european union official kiev has applied for membership there are only 28 february, b

and taiwan as we all know really china considers its inalienable part, so all those forces and independence are forces that are pleasing for the independence of taiwan in taiwanarty, and as they say in taiwan, all these are temporary workers and separatists , and uh, with each of their new steps about the american step, and the population of the island understands more and more that they would simply be manipulated. thank you very much sasha alexander baletsky our own correspondent on direct communication from beijing from china thank you very much right now in china almost one in the morning. thank you for going live with a touchpack a few words about the grievances. e of a fighter of the regiment, azov, that there is talk about the impossibility of a deblocking strike from the side of the armed forces in order to help out a grouping of ukrainian troops who have sat down to learn that that they are upset there, offended, let them be offended. in

that is, we produce it with you in taiwan. taiwan has a large reserve - reserve - perhaps, here we called back this 2,500 people. that is, they are really the chinese doing it to draw them in. here is a very difficult war for many, the impression that the chinese have a hand in it, there is no such thing will not work. and here another moment arises. yes. and if this happens, if i happen, the chinese, i think they won’t go for it and will think for a long time, but they are forced to turn all their political military attention to this conflict, and then they will expose another front called the xinjiang uighur autonomous region. yes, and right here. look here. we even see more widely. sometimes yes, what happens there, yes, means the autonomous region syndicate mug in terms of. security depends on the situation in afghanistan when the taliban came to power the chinese. prior to this, they were agreed, we talked with you, who else comes to the authorities trolleybus, and you agree that the so-called islamic movement, eastern turkestan

taiwan taiwan yes and that's it, in my opinion. this is the clearest illustration of strategic madness. perhaps an illustration of the fact that human civilization and history itself do justice to those. who imagines themselves to be, uh, the leaders of the whole world, but because it’s to assume that simultaneously with the ukrainian military crisis, the united states will now shake the situation in taiwanush china to some decisions. that's except for strategic strategic madness. it 's impossible to explain it dmitry e, gabitovich. as think countries? the madness of the strategic plan is quite logical, by the way, we are now very serious, as it were, against the background, of course, against china, an active campaign is beginning china, as it were, strategic partners. they are now trying to dig. uh, accordingly, the economic prospects for interaction with india , here is pakistan now, accordingly, a coup has taken place, as if you were insane, i doubt something, the strategic bar, which is connected with trying to chop off, as it were, from the eastern prospects. now china is in a folded position. he is very much dependent on the russian federation, as it were, but with all this, trying not to be subject to sanctions. here, accordingly , it expands the supply of energy carriers, but it tries to make a kular, in fact, quite strongly. now is a good opportunity for the chinese people to,

taiwan is an extremely sensitive issue _ visit? taiwan is an extremely sensitive issue for _ visit? taiwanrong reaction from the us visit because as far as china is concerned, taiwan is a breakaway province and president xijinping has always talked about the importance of reunification, has even said that forces an option to that end, as far as taiwan is concerned, it sees itself as an independent country with its own constitution, elected leaders and it wants to be treated as such so the tensions have been building between these two, especially in the last year we have seen a record number of chinese war planes fly into taiwan's air defence zone so it is no surprise, really, there has been so much criticism from china towards this visit and that's why the defence ministry has said the visit is deliberately provocative and china's army has even warned those who play with fire will burn themselves. {iii those who play with fire will burn themselves. of course, three, burn themselves. of course, three. this — burn themselves. of course, three, this comes _ burn themselves. of course, three,

taiwan and the united states are now aligned about that need. and now we're in the process of fulfilling that need and amplifying the role of taiwan and the international community. so, we stand in solidarity with taiwanre going to make sure it can be supported. taiwan creates/manufactures 90% of the high-end semiconductors in the world. in the world. we cannot have china consume taiwan and control 90% of the high-end sem conductors in the world. semiconductors are in everything in the world, from the cars with he drive to the refrigerators, to the phones we make our calls on, to so much business equipment that creates products and jobs in this country. so, taiwan is an essential partner and we have to do everything we can to support it and to deter china from seeking to invade it. >> taiwan, a thriving democracy. senator, nearly 1 million americans have died from the coronavirus since the pandemic began more than two years ago. you took part in an event yesterday to honor the lives that have been lost. what should we be thinking about as it seems so many people are essentially moving on from the pandemic? i joined with the families of those who were lost, you know, for every person loss of those mill

taiwan, our relationship is rock—solid, and when a country like taiwan has 90% of the high end semiconductor industry, it is a country of global significance, of global economic consequence, and those who wish taiwanal community will look at that and say we cannot allow taiwan to be negatively impacted because the world's interests are involved. us senator bob menendez speaking there. once it was a gathering forfree—spirited bohemians. now it's become a festival of social media influencers and celebrities. burning man is a unique counter—culture event that takes place in the black rock desert in nevada. but this year some of its artwork has been put on display in what can only be described as slightly more genteel surroundings. navtej johal went to have look. in the heat of the nevada desert, they come in their tens of thousands. burning man, an annual arts and cultural gathering, which first began more than 30 years ago, creates a temporary city in the black rock desert. it's renowned for its huge sculptures, parties, and what it calls a focus on radical self—expression. it is, in every way, thousands of miles from here. chatsworth house in the peak district is the home of the duke and duchess of

that is, we produce it with you in taiwan. taiwan reserve capacity of 2.500 million people, that is, they are really chinese in their applications. it does draw them in. here is a very hard war , many have the impression that the chinese have a hand in hand. there they say so, no, this will not work. and here another moment arises. yes. and if this happens, if i happen, the chinese, i think they won’t agree, it won’t be long to think about it, but they are forced to turn all their political military attention to this conflict, and then they will expose another front called the xinjiang uighur autonomous region. yes, and here look we even see more widely. sometimes yes, what happens there, yes, so it is impossible in the case from the point of view. security depends on the situation in afghanistan when the taliban came to power the chinese. before that, they had an agreement, we talked with you, who else comes to power trolleybus, and then you agree that the so-called islamic movement, eastern turkestan, is a terrorist group. yes. e u

taiwan is extremely sensitive for _ visit? taiwan is extremely sensitive for china - visit? taiwaniwan is extremely sensitive for china so it i visit? taiwan is extremely i sensitive for china so it was always going to set up a strong reaction. as far as china is concerned, taiwan is the breakaway province and president xijinping has breakaway province and president xi jinping has always talked about the importance of reunification and has not ruled out for is when it comes to making that happen. as far as taiwan is concerned, it is an independent country with its own leaders and constitution and should be treated as that. so a build—up of tensions in the past year, in fact a record number of chinese warplanes making it into tie one's air defence of zone. so this visit was going to trigger a reaction, which is why the defence ministry of china said it was deliberately evocative. the military has said those who play with fire will burn themselves.— play with fire will burn themselves. ., , , themselves. and of course, this is auoin themselves. and of course, this is going on. _ them

taiwan. if we lose taiwan. taiwan is the political cork in the champagne bottle. if that comes out, the pla army runs rampant across the pacific just like in world war ii. that's the highway for them to threaten hawaii, split south korea and japan our treaty allies, and thailand, and awe lies to the south and xi jinping wants taiwan desperately for his own glory, or the people of the chinese communist party ands' watching ukraine. if he sees russia succeed in ukraine, he's going to go to taiwan and do it quickly. the good thing he's watching people coalesce over ukraine. he's watching the military equipment in ukraine. and mostly watching the ukrainian people fighting like heck and he's got to think is this what the taiwanese people going to do. and the implications in europe and eastern europe, it goes far beyond europe and goes into the indo-pacific where we have our tremendous national interests. so if we can unite and unite the west and cut putin off and his economy off, not these half measure sanctions we've got in place now, but fully decouple the russian eco

taiwan, he is a first-generation american. he immediately recalls his chinese roots. taiwan there live the same chinese as me. we are not easily provoked into an invasion or a war with taiwanlose-lose option for everyone, but to understand where the roots of this territorial problem go. let's draw an analogy close to us - the chinese civil war. it was somewhat similar to our red army led by mao zedong against the whites led by chiang kashi, the remnants entrenched themselves on the island of taiwan and since then there have been two chinese republics in the world. and until now, the most terrible crisis in modern history after the second world war is considered to be the cuban missile crisis of october 62, when the superpowers kept each other at gunpoint with nuclear missiles. but if one day breaks out in the taiwan strait, then the caribbean crisis, perhaps they will remember with nostalgia andrey sukhanov deniseikin denis naumenko and pavel tolstov central television. well, here is the news of the continuation of the topic the united states announced to the solomon islands that they would respond if a chinese military base was deployed there, that is, as i understand it,

taiwan has a global impact for those who would wish an ill. china meanwhile, is accusing the us of inflaming tension and says it's going down the dangerous path by sending politicians to taiwan. made asian wiggle in the united states and taiwan are colluding with each other. and some people deliberately compare taiwan in ukraine to very different issues in an attempt to confuse the public and take advantage of the chaos in georgia. this behavior of playing with fire is aimed at changing the current status quo of the cross straight relations. professor p to harris is from the colorado state university and co author of the paper broken nest deterring china from invading taiwan. and he believes it would be a mistake for taiwan to rely on allies to protect it from beijing. was taiwanese officials and certainly industry leaders in taiwan have said in the past, is this silicon shield idea that tie one's friends around the world? and over high advanced economies that depend on access the time when he semiconductors would kind of rushed to the defense of taiwan. in the ban of a chinese invasion, that's the current formulation of the silicon shield is that the rest of the world would have an incentive to intervene militarily to defen

taiwan in a vulnerable position against the military power of mainland china, experts say. we need to make sure that we provide taiwan with the assistance that they need is obvious that we have left ukraine in the spotlight. and rightly so, but we better not forget about taiwan, because the actions of the prc are becoming more and more provocative on the latest provocation of the americans. china responded with large-scale military exercises off the coast. in taiwan, during the maneuvers, a conditional capture of the enemy’s border territory was worked out. in recent days, i have constantly come across such a funny picture. this is a shot from the series mr. bean. remember, that is not a movie yet. but it is the rowetkinson series that is still there young. i don't remember the exact episode, of course. here, but he was there mr. bean asked some kind of exam. there, in fact. there is a man sitting there. he writes something on a piece of paper, and mr. bean sits next to him. he also has a leaflet pen, and he, therefore, is peeping at this peasant. why, what does he write there on this man is written russia on a piece of paper, respectively, ukraine is written on the spot, china and he has a piece of paper, taiwan is, there are chinese, really now they are lo

taiwan. now, taiwan is also important to the us for other reasons.so placed near some strategically important islands to the us, us—friendly islands, so it's somewhere that is important globally in terms of security and its own economy. the british government's plan to send some asylum seekers to rwanda in central africa has been met with criticism and condemnation. the unhcr called it an unacceptable breach of international law. here's our chief political correspondent, adam fleming. there's been quite a lot of criticism of this uk government plan to send some asylum—seekers to rwanda eventually. criticism has come from the un refugee agency, from a former international development secretary, and from a former immigration minister. but i think the government knew they would get this pushback — i think they might even be relishing it, because they see it as an opportunity to make the case, and they're actually preparing for this to go to court and be challenged, legally. we've also had an interesting insight into the policy formulation process — it t

taiwan's most intelligent informed residents. taiwan after the start of the war in ukraine said, but do not want to become a second ukraine do not want to fight china to the last taiwanese. here comes to taipei a delegation of us senators led by lindsey graham. they promise to supply weapons and guarantee to protect taiwan, beijing sends it to the taiwan strait. aircraft carrier and attack fighters begin sky maneuvers taiwanese military checks air defense system and prepares to repel attacks from mainland china

taiwan. with the u.s. ourselves, the situation ukraine and taiwan are not the same. our relationship with taiwan is governed by the taiwan relations act, the security is governed by the taiwan relations act. one of the things we have focused on in the past several weeks. in consultations with allies and partners in europe, to say this kind of thing can happen in europe. this can happen in the indo pacific. it is incumbent upon responsible countries in the world to send a clear message. that any type of aggression is unacceptable wherever happens. >> so if china were to invade taiwan, is it our policy to defend taiwan? >> our official government policy is that we'll take every step we possibly can to ensure that never happens. >> ok. let's talk about the iranian negotiations. where do they stand? any chance of it getting resolved? >> over the past few months we made a fair deal of progress and getting to the point where both iran and the u.s. could come back to the nuclear deal with the compliance basis. there have been a few issues that have not been resolved. we are continue to go back and fort

taiwan. even if it was an agrarian society with no high tech industries, what, what time when use officials and certainly industry leaders in taiwan have said in the past, is this silicon shield the idea that taiwan friends around the world and other high advanced economies that depend on access to time when he's semiconductors, what kind of rushed to the defense of taiwan in the ban of a chinese invasion. that's the current formulation of the silicon shield is that the rest of the world would have an incentive to intervene militarily to defend taiwan. in the event of a chinese invasion, taiwanese of hope, that thread, that latent threat of a global military coalition will keep them safe for me from a chinese invasion. while i argue, am i call us a john mckinney argue, is that the silicon shield could probably batter used if taiwan made it into an autonomous, independent deterrent. that is, it's risky for taiwan to rely on the united states. and those 2 rushed to a defense because they may not. china is gotten nuclear weapons, and leaders like joe biden and other leaders around the world may be very reluctant to intervene on timelines behalf. given china is a new play. i'm state. what is taiwan t

taiwan independence separatist forces . what makes the americans think that something is threatening taiwan right now. you have to ask them, but the taiwan is on the face of the trend, they play whenever they need to put pressure on china . recently, relations between beijing and washington , to put it mildly, are not very good, most likely, hence the spring aggravation. in the chinese foreign ministry already dear american partners are tired of persuading washington to leave taiwan alone. you yourself signed the documents that this is our territory. so what are you climbing into our internal affairs, but it somehow does not help a week ago in taiwan all of a sudden. a landing force of american congressmen landed to discuss what they say is the chinese military threat, and just yesterday , the american missile destroyer uss was found in the waters of the taiwan strait. sampson did nothing . just entered to defiantly a representative of the army succeeded in hitting beijing, china immediately issued a statement that the appearance of an american ship undermines stability in the region. diplomats almost every day remind washington, and its

taiwan card or using taiwan to contain china, we will resolutely oppose actions that cause serious damage to sovereignty and territorial integrity. china, we urge the authorities of the democratic progressive party. taiwany stop colluding with outside forces to carry out provocations and achieve so called taiwan independence my vote is strongly opposed to any form of official exchanges between us and taiwan congressmen. the us should adhere to the policy of one china, which the us government adheres to, to stop official contacts with taiwan and not go further along the wrong path. china will continue to take firm and resolute measures to resolutely defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. let's fast forward to beijing, china, our own correspondent alexander balletsky, on a direct line. sash hello well, we understand how harshly beijing reacted to the demand. who will join the russian sanctions at the end is, firstly, and secondly, is china ready to confront the united states of america soon. well, such an impressive delegation arrived in taiwan. well, it is obvious that they already discussed the supply of american weapons there. in fact, it looks like the second front, really very similar. wel

away, of course, from ukraine we are talking about the fact that the next conflict will be in taiwan and taiwanlose front for japan and it is obvious that japan well, this is actually not at all from strength and not the strengthening of nato, but some act of japan's weakness, because japan imagines that it will have china and behind the scenes china will support the russian federation because we have already passed through the straits between the japanese islands. our fleet has shown japan that we too can apply pressure and japan is looking for support, but in fact it is from weakness. why because japan is not ready. uh, respectively, so that the united states would throw it into the fire with the military with china and in fact, it quite clearly showed that here is the oka okos forgotten by us. it was supposed to include japan too, but japan does not want to join this nuclear alliance that it suggests. including some building nuclear infrastructure in australia is really an attempt. and with a weak game, it is enough to show a strong position, but we are ready for this; we have been conductin

taiwan , jake sullivan, the national security adviser to the president of the united states, commented. he said that washington would take all possible measures not to there was a forceful reunification of china and taiwan for the united states, the situation with ukraine with taiwan is not the same thing, our security relations with taiwan are regulated by the law on relations with taiwan. in the last few weeks. we focused on deep consultations by allies and partners, including in europe, within the framework of these consultations, we expressed the following position: this can happen in europe this can happen in the endo-pacific region, responsible countries should signal that any aggression is unacceptable, wherever it occurs. here the previous time the aggravation with harsh statements between china and the american allies in the pacific happened just at the end of march then it happened. it is known that beijing concludes a security agreement with the solomon islands. china considers this the right of two independent states, but the australian american press. this was seen as an opportunity for beijing to create its own naval base on these solomon islands, the authorities of australia and new zealand then acted in the same vein, they say this is our underbell

taiwan. why is taiwan of such interest to you in particular? because when so many countries around the world, they financed the taiwan name issue by using type pay, finding a way to have relations with taiwan while keeping china peas. you chose to stand up to china. why? well, i think that it's a few few point that i would like to address. first of all, taiwan is an important partner and everybody agrees about that. especially, you know, in, in trades when, when even the big economists in europe suddenly find themselves lacking the semiconductors and things like that. so, and why do you turn to and who do you turn to, is this they want? so obviously there is a practical reasons why it tends to be likely thing you would think that there is a need to, to deepen. it's re tight with with i walk. so that's normal. second thing is the question of some ren, we have our, our lithuanian one china policy that we're here to it's. it's addresses the questions of china's integrity and all that. and china, the light does not approve. 0, one china was there for it. once asked to change it, and since it does not have means to persuade us politically, then it ch

taiwan will do it now a rocket that does is not a question. there, in the sense that the arsenals in china yes, according to the calculations of the chinese, in order to put out taiwan on the first day, about 1,000 missiles are needed, these thousands of chinese missiles are, this is not a question. and it is clear that the americans will not fight with taiwans is a big question, who will fight there, there will be a nuclear war . well, it won't be the same in taiwan. okay. understand there is a bet just not missiles. we also have this studio. many spoke differently this is territory. and this is a huge loss when the last time. in what year i agree, this is not what we are talking about, is it about the destruction of a specific plant, which cannot be replaced by anything else? yes, well, in theory, again, that is, here now, as such a moment is now very convenient. this is just the moment that this taiwanese company invested in the construction of a similar, well, small enterprise, but in just in the state of arizona near the city of phoenix and the plant, which will employ only 250 people, but the cost of the project, 12 billion dollars 12. this is 1/5 defense budget of our you see, as far as the chinese are concerned. uh. until, of course, they have as a result, just rising oil prices. they have too. well, naturally, the expenses of citiz

taiwan. 0ur relationship is rock—solid. and when a country like taiwan has 90% of the high—end semiconductor industry, it is a country of global significance, of global economic consequence. and those who wish taiwanpacted, because the world's interests a re involved. chinese foreign ministry spokesman zhao lijia has described the us lawmakers�* visit to taiwan as a "negative move". translation: members of the usj congress should adhere to the one china policy and principle and provisions of the three china usjoint communiques and stop us and taiwan official exchanges. they should not make any irresponsible remarks. china will continue to take effective measures to resolutely safeguard the national sovereignty and territorial integrity. once it was a gathering forfree—spirited bohemians, where anything goes. now it's become a festival of social media influencers and celebrities. burning man is a unique counter—culture event that takes place in the black rock desert, in nevada. but this year some of its artwork has been put on display in what can only be described as slightly more genteel surroundings. navtej johal went to have look. in the heat of the nevada desert, they come in their tens of thou
