and then pulling back out again. ah, china says it's relationship with the u. s. is at a critical juncture and warns countries against helping taiwan to become independent. ah, robot is, and this is our 0 ally from doha. also coming up. i protested raleigh across america, calling for gun law reforms up to recent mass shootings, warnings that ukraine is running out of ammunition in the east. as the u commission president makes a surprise visit to keith and replanting the rain forest. we visit columbia communities trying to bring their surroundings back to life. ah, we're going to begin with the stalk warning from china's defense minister of foreign interference and taiwan is doomed to fail by fingers address the shangri la dialogue and singapore is the latest and the spot between washington and beijing over ty, ones future. on saturday, the u. s. defense secretary lloyd austin, accused beijing of intimidation and aggression towards the island. china says its reunification with the mainland is inevitable. john, during your we will resolutely crush any attempt to purs

u. s. and china, and of course, the matter of taiwan, the general took the time to say that he strongly disagreed with the statements made by lloyd austin. and he regard of them as me is against china. regarding the issue of taiwan, he made the comment that taiwan is china's taiwan. he made that comment several times throughout his speech. he mentioned that china more but once a civil war and china once a peaceful pomp to re unification. but the speech also contained some warnings to any one who might think of perhaps, supporting taiwanese independence. he made it very clear in his speech that china will fight if necessary on all the contentious matters, such as the south china sea, which has been discussed at length during the course of these 3 days. security summit, he made the point that china actually has very positive relationships with other young countries. and while talking about the south china sea, he also appeared to take a swipe at the us, noting that countries within the asia pacific countries that actually have a stake in the south china sea must work together to prevent countries o

china and taiwan. jessica, what more is being discussed at that dialog? ah, well that's exactly right. well, most of the attention has been focused on the u. s. and china and relations between those 2 countries. it is of course, important to note that this is a security summit generally about issues in the asia pacific. as you can see, many delegates, it's very busy here at the shangri la hotel in singapore. and part of the focus is also on human rights issues in the region and how those intersect with security issues. i'm joined now by william fine, who is the director of the good 10 you foundation with an expertise in piece building and conflict analysis really and thank you for joining us today. we're talking about security issues in the region. if you're paying attention particularly to how those relate to human rights issues, is that correct? absolutely. i just, i think we have to really start looking at how security is frames. and particularly if we're talking about regional security, we can't get no issues of human security. i think more and more at these kinds of dialogues, we're actually starting to see more attention being paid to is

china's ambition to our compete the u . s. but it could also hon. the long term interests of u. s. companies in china. and so at the same time or latest economic data showing the chinese factories have been producing more stuff last month, but consumption remained frail. what are we to make of that? which i know is economy showed initial size of recovery in may. but overall growth still remains fragile. the unemployment rate we're looking at surprisingly, improve a bit, but it is unclear whether the trend is sustainable with millions of students graduating in the summer. the pandemic is now largely under control in china, and the related strict control measures are gradually being lifted by the 0 call. the policy has had a serious impact on economy. it activities with the risk of outbreaks and logged out looming. consumers and inter printers have become quite cautious. institutions have lower their growth expectations for chinese academy this year. and economy will likely ron below its potential unless the government takes decisive actions to boost the growth you w correspondent. so song, haven't i paid?

hosting the event and is organized by the london based international institute for strategic studies or the double. i double s la main topic of chevrolet dial august, the u. s. and china relations between the 2 superpowers are bad and getting worse. and so the 2 defense ministers from the country will both be speaking. now in its 19th year, the meetings have become a key form for debating the regions security challenges. the conference has traditionally attracted attention not just for the speeches and war public aspects, but for the bilateral and multilateral meetings that take place quietly on the sidelines. until now, the u. s. and chinese defense chiefs have only spoken on the phone. one of the big talking points of this week is whether lloyd austin, the us defense secretary, in general, away from her, the chinese defense secretary are actually going to meet each other for the very 1st time. and so those meetings are important that the way the business gets done in international defense diplomacy. washington has repeatedly stressed the importance of the indo pacific and acute paging of aggressive actions in the region, particularly over the south china sea and tai

u. s. c. o. it is the u. s . is 9th largest trading partner and an important hub for making computer chips and other high end tech components. both china and taiwan agree, there is value in trading with the u. s. yet. china says taiwan has no right to conduct foreign relations. on this, taiwan does not agree, ah, well for more let's go to young core to in new york for the us market reaction. now, yen, the us close a trade deal with major partners in asia. just last week. taiwan was excluded from that deal. why was that? yeah, well, chris, the, the, the button up industries and just last week as you mentioned, launched the in the pacific economic framework with the 13 countries. then what we hear is that some of those asian partners had concern to actually anger china if they include a tie one. so now it looks like the biden administration might be looking for a bilateral agreement with taiwan. i don't know who comes up with those names. the u. s. tyler initiative on 21st century rate, so that's what it's called and that will be an negotiated in the next couple of weeks and maybe months. so we're not talking about a free trade deal, but

and actually make sure that any message coming out of the bricks won't be too anti u. s. because india tends to play different sides. and in this case, it wants to stay in at china's good graces, and it's also an wants to stay in on the side of the u. s. and then india and china are also profiting from the oil embargo against russia. so he got an, another issue there to add in that india's got india's doing quite well out of that . it's want going to want to keep the russian oil flowing at oil and gas flowing. i mean, india, it tries to stay non aligned is what they call it, right? the world has changed so much over the last 2 years. i just wonder whether the bricks framework even make sense. yeah, it's interesting. i mean, even go right back to the start. when jim o'neil, the goldman sachs economists came up with the term there were sort of these countries are models of instability and the rest of the world soon. the read, the western particular seemed pretty stable and then suddenly fast forward in the last 2 years has been a lot of global instability. and we've had a crisis in democracy in the us. we for all these new issues that are there, dad, china has reall

and china. and we recently had confirmation from chinese state media that the u. s. defense chief lloyd austin will or has already met with these chinese counterparts general way from hook. we don't have information regarding the timing or the location of that meeting, or if indeed it has already been completed. analysts have already pointed to some of the, of these topics of discussion, not just concern over the situation in taiwan, the south china sea. and we have heard from us officials basically describing that . ideally they would, they would like to achieve god rails in the us, his relationship with china, basically aiming for competition without an escalation, without conflict as well. now we, we do expect that over the course of the 3 day summit, both defense chief will speak publicly just delivering a speech that is aimed at not just the audience of delegates. and analysts that i hear, but well, leaders and specifically those in the asia pacific, they will be watching very closely to see what the 2 defense chiefs of the world superpowers have to say about t

country's economy, economic activities, countries in the region, do not take china as a and b and do not take china as a threat. the u. s. hasn't done anything with these countries. and except talking. so whereas china has been a, you know, looking into the actual needs of these countries in the pacific and to start establishing a very friendly poll stories that and so i think this is a china threat as being fabricated to serve the needs of the american government ah, not, there are mixed signals coming from the west over our russian oil with president biden, announcing it should still be bought by the west to stop moscow selling it to others on making profits. now that's a change of tone from previous promise is to cut all fuel purchases in order to destroy the word use, the russian economy. you have the, the, the, the issue is occurring. now as you have europe deciding that they're going to further curtail the purchase of, of russian oil. and there's a whole lot of consideration going on about what can be done to maybe even purchase the oil, but at a limited price. so that it has to be sold, the overwhelming need for

u. s. foreign products to, to allow us banks to 51 percent ownership in china and 3, to somehow slow down stop china's plans for next generation technology. the sanctions that are being tested out by the u. s. with russia are eventually going to be administered in the economic war that b and b, b, and plan with china. and i think china knows that i think, you know, at some point a modus vivendi reach between us nato and russia. at some point. who knows when they're trying to knows that the target is going to be placed on them. and finally, there's something of a diplomatic anomaly taking place in us in the relations is the position of us and but the 2 india has remained vacant for a record 18 months. the previous us ambassadors term expired in january 2021, while last year president by the nominated the mayor of los angeles, eric garcia for the job. the senate has still not approved. his moved to new delhi or t contributes. a r t ticket brings us up to date on the issue. what did last 18 months be? position of the us back to india has made break it. this is by far youngest stretch for us,

u. s. wants to prohibit sales of grain and african national congress youth league. chair person told us that support shifted to china as the u. s. was more humane and respectful with the african population is found china to be an honest country to do business with in comparison to the west, which when they arrived here, they did not even see us as human beings. but instead they plowed our mineral resources. they are the ones that bomb to heal shima. they're the ones that got fat, she just to test a nuclear bomb and just to protect and lasha. so we are students of history. we understand what the intention has been. they have been everywhere in the world where there's been a lot of the sources, an image not to do business there, but it could come age on that people or both of those countries. we are saying that we are going to have relations with the russian people, whether american america loves it or not. we will not be subject to western media, would try to cling to the chinese people as a bad people who are in africa to do wrong things. because we can visibly see here, to help with development, and that to be here

china now and chinese naval capability. one that is raising concerns, especially in the u. s. i live this week china and can bodya officially began work on the expansion of naval base, facing the gulf of thailand and adjacent to the south, tennessee. and the u. s. fears that this could provide aging the strategically important when the treat outpost in the region both and beijing have been careful to say it will not to present a threat. let's look into that into what the chinese ambassador had to say. don't go with this project as a result of mutual respect and equal consultation in line with the laws of both countries and relevant international laws and practices. it is not targeted at any 3rd party and will assist even closer cooperation between the 2 militaries, better fulfillment of international obligations and the provision of international public goods. mr. song you probably have of the chinese ambassador said, but, but he's essentially saying it appears that no one has anything to worry about is that machines that will go down well in the region thing with growth in chi

u. s. foreign products to to allow us banks to 51 percent ownership in china, and 3, to somehow slow down. stop china's plans for next generation technology. the same she was that are being tested out by the u. s. with russia are eventually going to be administered in the economic war that's being been being plan which i, and i think china knows that i think, you know, at some point a modus vivendi reach between us nato and russia. at some point. who knows when then china knows that the target is going to be placed on them. and finally, stop policies. politicizing talks on health care that was the message from the russian deputy health minister, who q some members of the g 20 of using the ongoing. some is to condemn moscow over the ukraine conflict. we are asking our colleagues not to politicize g 20 health platform and stay within our mandate and discuss health care representatives on the us, britain, australia, and canada. blame to russia for plunging ukraine's health care system into chaos. the cruncher of the g 20 group is struggling to keep the members united as a western countries p

u. s. is not that old blige to help taiwan when attacked. but demo have changed, given the common fight and has recently made to really, truly po tacker. tie one with at tech by china. however, you will still be extremely unlikely for the u. s. to equipped, i want to the extent that tele rena watkins and mainland china at best he will cripple taiwan for some defensive weapons to add close to, to war, to both sides. you would be unlikely, although not impossible, to encrypt taiwan for all pensive weapons. even for this situation in ukraine, the u. s. has refrained from sending troops and large offensive arteries to ukraine . perhaps until recently. if push does come to shove, do you really expect the us to weigh in with for they gains china. i have a tie. one it will be a surprise if the u. s. who few is promised to fully protect ty one given that the u. s. has already lost is credibility in defending is friends of many countries, especially when those friends have lost strategic value to the u. s. a worse deal with sometimes to us, sees it in his interest to support a prolong proxy war to we can is opponent. so a process, the war is still possible, especially throu

country's economy, economic activities, countries in the region do not take china as a and b, and do not take china as a threat of the u. s. hasn't done anything with these countries and except pull p. so whereas china has been looking into that actual needs of these countries in the pacific and to start establishing a very friendly pulse with that. and so i think this is the china threat as being fabricated to serve the needs of the american government. ah, now while the un is warning that a combination of factors are exacerbating global starvation, the european commission president is putting the blame for the food crisis on one person alone. latimer put it is atrocious to see that that deliberately, deliberately putting is blocking the wheat supply of the world. he's making his, he's driving his war am in taking not the slightest responsibility for being the 11 day has to stand up for the fact that people are dying of hunger and famine will be big again. and handler will be a driving motor again in the world. when in terms of the global picture, the most drastic situations in africa for to me base a hel, reach, and a 5

u. s. is concerned, it's better for the u. s. if this war drags on as long as possible and the u. s. can make that happen by continuing to supply weapons and weapons systems to the ukrainians. china has overtaken the u. s. as the foreign power with the biggest positive influence in african. now that is according to a survey among young adults in the content. let's go through some of the details. the survey was conducted among those aged $18.00 to $24.00 and a total of 16 african countries. it found that 76 percent off that group in consider china is activity as positive for the continent leaving 2nd place to the u . s. which had held the top spot in the survey just 2 years ago. the results show china is rising influence on the continent with investments, infrastructure development projects and affordable chinese products listed as the most positive contributions. me, china is a better friends in america. i think it's china because it believes in giving and receiving better with china and tony, shut it because i'm with china is better because it could take over the world economy in the future. i believe it's better to be closer to china than the u. s. in the current reality, it's

and res, cost to consumers with a move to call target on imports from china. it seems to be a mechanism to tackle skyrocket, inflation and goods shortages in the u. s. boats. meanwhile, over in china, the sanctions earlier imposed by washington on micro chip supplies have shown unexpected results. the sanctions which were intended to damage the chinese economy, have apparently failed to achieve the aims since 2020, when the u. s. restricted to chip sales to china. that domestic production and overseas demand have risen last year orders from foreign countries for chinese chips rose by 58 percent with total sales, reaching a record $150000000000.00. dr. jack rasmus, professor of economics and politics says that these policies initiated by trump were a failure well under trial pre tried to use stairs strategically and he totally failed against china when the us launch the trade war in march of 2018. there were 3 objectives. want to get child to buy more u. s. foreign products to, to allow us banks to 51 percent ownership in china and 3, to somehow slow down stop china's plans for next generation technology. the sanctions that are being tested out by t

the tensions between china and the u. s. helping escalating since president biden said, washington would defend taiwan if china with the launch and attack. also, beijing has declined to support western functions pushed by the u. s. against russia. with a continue trade between china, moscow meeting the effects those sanctions were meant to deliver this cans as china's national currency. the u on has strengthened up to the i. m f. increased its holdings, making it the 3rd largest, holding in the official reserves, and that's behind the euro. and the dollar b, u. r. has seen growing using cross board international payments between trading partners. reflecting is such as a top currency director of the geopolitical economy. research group, radhika decided, says the use of the chinese currency will only expand in the future. china has been working this very interesting, very balanced approach that it's been taking as far as china is concerned. it can continue to expand the use of the, remember for trade, for investment, and for

u. s. and p realism. to understand china's role that you need to understand that it's a defensive reaction against us imperialism, and critically aggressive attempts. one cycle china. last 30 years, a series of u. s. like was around the world in 2011. president obama use the starting element platform to announce a cycle, pivotal asia, which not when you focus on american military confrontational gene. this was subsequently, yes. go on to the truck administration with the 2017 national security strategy which announced that the war and tara was effectively i'm going to focus on so called gray pal rivalries which manage all i focus on challenging russia and china. and so you've seen in the last period under success, the republican and democratic ministrations, really aggressive military build up a pacific, specifically directed against china, very from oregon, china. and obviously the government is taking certain measures in attempts to defend itself against the law, washington militarily, diplomatically economically. and so the
