frank tsai who's the founder of the consultancy firm china crossroads.here at the moment. we've locked down here in the western part of shanghai for seven days and around april one, the government had said that, you know, we would be locked down for four days but it has been extended indefinitely. you know, life is very unpredictable. we had no idea that we would be locked down this long. we had a few days to get food so i bought groceries, only enough for a week and has been one week. as you mentioned, we are are experiencing food insecurity and anxiety here in china and i would say more than half the people i know are having trouble ordering food online for a variety of reasons mostly to do with the fact that there are not enough delivery staff in shanghai to deliver all this food. many of the online stores are already locked down themselves. some of the logistic countries to deliver the food are in lockdown and, you know, it is leading to a perfect storm of embarrassment for the government because, you know, it is pretty obvious that they did not plan

daughter of the tsai tong.n a few months the united states has already transferred weapons and ammunition worth about $ 4 billion to kiev, according to russian ambassador anatoly antonov. according to him, washington is trying by all means to delay the special operation, to keep the hotbed of instability in europe and thus rally the western allies around him. but you have to pay dearly for this kiev asked washington for a monthly tranche of $ 2 billion to pay pensions, salaries to workers in the healthcare and education sectors for humanitarian needs, it is becoming more and more difficult to explain such costs, as our ambassador notes, the american media are beginning to see the light, there are more and more publications with objective information. humanitarian convoy of the ministry of emergency situations of russia delivered food to luhansk drinking water and building materials for the repair of damaged houses, meanwhile shelling from the apu does not stop in a day. ukrainian security forces opened fire fou

tsai even came out of covid on purpose.masks from taiwanese american flams are still from pompeo, taiwan has always been a loyal and unshakable partner of the united states in indo in the pacific region, we expect to play an active role in the new pacific ocean strategy in cooperation with the united states and other like-minded countries, the united states has described this strategy in detail and most importantly. in it, the containment of china is intimidated by the beijing invasion, but invaded the island, while only the landing veterans of anti-chinese politics, we are often asked what america would do if the chinese communists invaded taiwan, all options are discussed we have a strong army not in order to take away someone else's property, but to protect our freedom and the freedom of the whole world, by writing down britain and australia as allies now. this is a military bloc, and the bite in china is called the asian nato by the americans. japanese aviation is also being pushed here and tokyo has also become more ac

tsai hoarfrost was a reliable partner of the united states in the ocean region. we look forward to a new active role in the indian-pacific strategy to jointly protect peace and stability in the region in cooperation with the united states and other countries that share common ideas. well, on the eve of the american position on 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 p

anyway, it's a long winding road tsaying that who decided to have a conversation about an economic safety? i don't know who decided at what point that it's okay to let people die. isit's there's morals underlying this and it they don't have these and was is profitable for them. we have these cost-effective measures and less effective measures. >> i don't want to call it unjust. but it's just unjust. it's unfair and there's no way of beating around the bush. one of the things this book does is talk about medicine as a knowledge monopoly. and that's not been done before. using tv as an example but the same time this book was written before the pandemic began and i think that's a change. everything that i learned in the last few chapters has come to pass andit's been very frustrating to watch that . >> it's pathetic. because we draw this direct line between colonialism and patents of these pharmaceutical drugs and technology so i wanted you to sketch that out for us. you spend a great part of that, that great chapter explaining the issue with the patents . can you sum up the issue with paten

>> tsai. it is not easy. i've lived in a polarized world in washington. you see it on tv, among politicians and it is never ending now. and there's a lot of screaming between people and among people. and sometimes it's very hard to get past that. it sort of gets into your head doesn't it? some of the people i'm hugging i know. okay? >> hi. >> i have to law clerks our who are from st. louis, and they are sitting right here. and their parents are here. so i'm giving them hugs. how is that? but my answer harks back to the lesson that i just described. that my mother taught me. and that is i try for example, with my colleagues, with who at whom i have very divergent views but many. probably the majority right now. [laughs] [applause] i tried very very hard to see the good in them. because i know there is good in every one of them. just a suitor once said to me, when he realized that all of his colleagues, particularly the ones he disagreed with, were people who believed as passionately as he did, in the constitution and our system of government and the laws o

new intelligence out there tsay they are shifting specifically to the eastern part of ukraine militarily. and president zelenskyy actually said that the russians are pulling back from kyiv. in fact, we're seeing that now. you said, it's what they do, not what they say. we saw that. what does that tell you? >> we are seeing that. it's too early to say what that actually means, because they could be regrouping, and restocking, and replenishing then coming back to kyiv. also very possible what we're seeing is what it seems to be. a focus to the east and the south, but dana, even there, if that's what they're doing, then i think that ukrainians have already demonstrated unless they're able to move every single ukrainian out of whatever piece of territory they trying to hold, it's not going to last, because the will of the ukrainian. see clpeople is clear. they will not be subjected to russian occupation. in the east or in the west and south. meantime the terrible death and destruction you started with will continue and why it is so urgent that russia and this war of aggression, and we do eve

>> our message to the taiwanese when we president with president tsai and its foreign and defense ministersnd with the taiwanese people. we will support them. before we went to taiwan, we first visited our pacific commander, got a sense of what the taiwanese need in order to be able to deter china, which is what we really want to do in the first place, and 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 taiwan and we're 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 supp

stephanie tsai has this report. >> these are the first fossil fuel leases to be offered on public landsook office. they cover 145,000 acres of government land across nine states and the interior department will raise the rate oil and gas companies pay the federal government from 12.5% to 18.75%. joining us to discuss the implications, coral davenport, who covers energy for the new york times. thank you for joing the newshour. nationwide oil and gas extraction, how much is 145,000 acres, could increase oil and gas production and could it shift the u.s. away from its goals to lower carbon emissions? >> in the grand sing with -- grand scheme of things, 144,000 acres is a small portion of the many hundreds and hundreds of thousands of acres that the u.s. already has opened for drilling on public lands. it is a very small portion. it's not expected to make a difference in overall u.s. gasoline production or the price of gasoline. that said, one thing scientists are telling us right now about carbon emissions is that with the amount of carbon emissions now in the atmosphere and the rate of gl

maybe a fifth decision on mary [inaudible] [inaudible] speaks to the power of place in person and tsai. and the materiality of it. said that something else we should have a hold on the battle on but so i think this is true. so, mary todd lincoln tried to make up, sort of kinship connection with dolly madison. because dolley had had a first husband, john time the pressure that yellow fever play. and the taunting was -- mary todd, mary todd lincoln, dolley top madison -- okay. and so she tied to emulate dolly. and when i said dolley set the tone for first ladies for you know two centuries, but she was kind of tone-deaf, right? like, she threw parties in a war, which dolley had done, but then that war is aging, 12 y is all happening out there. the battlefield was like a mile away in virginia. it was just, it was bad news, wasn't it? >> far be it from me to be a mary todd lincoln apologist. but -- [laughter] -- >> i think it is worth noting this before diane jumps into this because she wants to. no first lady ever gets it right. some big portion of america says, you're doing it completely

it cannot be that white congressman has chosen, might lead, in oreo tsai defense, there is some out of fence activity that do not necessarily lead to generations changing. bio mass, which the ruled, precluded. it only requires certain plans to burn wood. and so that will not force generations shifting. white -- tees out for, me more precisely, what's this major question doctrine involves. because i cannot see it as the in and out of fencing for the reasons that justice kagan said and for the one that i just pointed to. and so, go back to two things. how do we give meetings to the different use of words in the statute? and to, tease out for me what is the major question? >> certainly. how do we give meetings to those words? this system is a broad word, we do not dispute. that the congress paired it with limits, we always read statutes as a hold, it does not look at isolated words. in the u our decision, which also interpreted the clean air act, the court thinks that the words need more a more clear interpretation. if we look at the rest of the words, the before -- >> it does not use lim
