u. s. and china. yeah. so how is that going, don? just what you've said. they're the general of use, the it's i biggest, there's so many ramifications at 2 such a conflict or even an escalation here. and what's being said about policies trip there where, you know, initially there was more support for her from both sides of the aisle. but now we're starting to hear those voices that are speaking out and saying that they're concerned that they're concerned that this could lead to a direct confrontation between the u. s. and china. and they're really questioning why pull osi is embarking on such a visit in the 1st place. take, listen to what was said. nothing good will come of it. taiwan will not be more secure or more prosperous as a result of this purely symbolic visit. and a lot of bad things could happen. these include a chinese military response that could result in the u. s. being plunged into in direct conflicts with a nuclear armed russia and a nuclear armed china at the same time. this week with

u. s. how speakers trip a member of the public told us the u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence the lucy touch, china's bottom line. she touched the red lines. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just used tie one to get our attention for domestic market. unless he's busy, we'll add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with a very warm welcome to you. this is alta international live from moscow. it's now just off to 7 pm here, which means it's just off the midnight in taiwan as we know that you as to how speaker nancy pelosi has finally touched down in taiwan this on tuesday night just after midnight. that now, of course, the whole trip and the big arrival was the ongoing, despite numerous threats from china, of serious consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the u. s. side and the taiwan independence sepa

one china principal. china strongly urges the united states to stop playing to try one card and using to i want to contain china. and people in taiwan itself are anxious over the u. s. health because trip members of the public told us the u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence. not help them. lucy, touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line, so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use, tie one to get our attention for domestic market. close each visit will attention to cross the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with 5 am in moscow, 10 am and ty, pie one. hello, and welcome to international. we're coming to life on the russian capital. i'm calling here. thanks so much for joining us. china has begun military trolls and areas surrounding tie one. the move comes in response to the visit of you is how speak a nancy pelosi to taipei which began some hours ago. he has some of the latest footage shared by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes passed through ty, one's a defense identification zone. and according to beijing, military sources tools will include non nuclear missile launchers f

u. s. one china policy. i think that does, and the statements do contradict the one china policy do contradict official us policy statements. and i think the united states has kind of walked a type rope ever since the recognition of the people's republic of china. i believe that the recognition of the people's republic of china as the sole representative of china and the chinese people, was done less out of respect for common sense and decency. and the republic of china is so small, in comparison to the norms of international law, which dictates successive states. clearly states that the people's republic of china should be the only successor states. there is kind of this push for a new cold war. and this policy that we've been, the one china policy is kind of one of the last bastions of peace and tranquility between the united states and china and the united states and the rest of the world. earlier my colleagues always to say, discuss pelosi as a to tie one without correspondence. rachel blevins. hello. she's finally touched dow

u. s. businesses about this rise intentions between china and the united states. there is indeed some concern from u. s. businesses about these escalating centers between the u. s. and china, mostly from u. s. businesses that obviously are doing business with china because they quite frankly, don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. but to quickly put your note to quickly answer this, put yourself in the shoes of the u. s. business owner, you're doing business with china and the leader of your government for the 1st time in 25 years, enters taiwan. and china has already said that it warns of this visit being extremely dangerous. you might be playing with fire. and if you're a company doing business with china here in the us, that's something that cannot be looking too good in your near term forecast. especially with policy saying that this trip is to this trip to taiwan, is to promote america's solidarity with taiwan. while also carrying while also needing to express the concerns of china's communist party. remember china is it sees taiwan as a break away provi

china policy. but this is not proven to the u. s. for maintaining unofficial relations with taipei and sending military aid to the island . china now accuses the u. s. of stirring trouble in the region. the open political provocation has aroused the fury of the chinese people and is opposed by the whole international community. this again proves that some us politicians have become the troublemakers of china. us relations and the u. s. has become the number one savage or of the peace and stability of the taiwan strait. one china policy has been a definitive aspect of us china relations for the past 40 year. but today's visit by nancy pelosi seems to put all of that on the brink of destruction. the one china policy is that the united states acknowledges the people's republic of china as the one chinese government on the mainland that does not have diplomatic relations with the government on time. one then an advocate, taiwan being peacefully re integrated with the mainland into one giant. now it appears that despite the fact that nancy pelosi has gone to taiwan, the white house and john kirby and others that us state department are maintain

taipei. despite numerous warnings from beijing, china strongly condemned to visit, saying it will resolutely defend its territorial integrity and accuses the u. s. of publication. this again proves that some us politicians have become the troublemakers of china. us relations in us has become the number one savage or of the peace instability of the taiwan strait. and people in tie one tell us philosophies that that plays to the u. s. domestic audience and will not benefit tie one at all with lucy, touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line, so both of us and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use taiwan to get our attention for domestic market. closest visit will add tensions across the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with hello and welcome talk international with coming to you from us studios in moscow. i'm paula smith. thanks so much for joining us. china has begun military trolls in areas surrounding tie when the move comes in response to the visit of us. how sick, how speaker nancy pelosi to taipei. she kicked off her to an earlier meeting with high ranking taiwanese officials, inclu

u. s. acting recklessly in disregard of china's sullen representations, the contra measure by china will be justified and necessary. we pay close attention to policies, itinerary if the u. s. and system going its own way to china will take firm in great measures to safeguard chinese sovereignty security an interesting way. and so if the speaker does decide to visit, and china tries to create some kind of crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on beijing. while chinese military drills have been marking the 95th anniversary of the creation of the people's liberation army ahead, all philosophies potential visit to taiwan. china is navy fleets being carrying maneuvers in various locations. according to military sources. drills include the use of weapons on coordination between war ships and fighter aircraft beijing. how stress the chinese military will be in a state of readiness throughout the day. here some on verified for this to show you all of exercises, allegedly at taking place in chinese food, young province, just across the tie. one straight. we'll try and show you a little bit

u. s. and system going its own way, china will take firm and great measures to safeguard chinese sovereignty. security and interesting. now in response to the visit to china are set to hold enormous military drills around a taiwan in the coming days, especially to actually conduct missile launches off the sea.

u. s. and china preparing their military's really for any sort of increased security measures here in the united states. seems to be trying to prepare some sort of a buffer zone and it appears as though they've left the decision up to polosa specifically and have a lot her to be the one to make this call on whether or not she is going to add this stop to her trip, however, when it comes to the reasoning for it and also when it comes to the benefit from it, there seem to be more questions and answers there. and that includes even in taiwan with people, they're saying that they're confused about why pelosi is taking this. that even with all of the threats that we've heard from china, take a listen to some of what was said. they're in taiwan. it's all about their career interest. they use taiwan. they, they use that your political mom measure to, to benefit themselves. they only care about how the government can be holding the power it is in their, in them states. okay. so they just used high one to get our attention for domestic market from good hello, see, touch china's bottom line. she touched t

u. s. is just trying to spread its power and and with to lucy, touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line, so both the u. s. and china had to take actions accordingly. they just used high one to get their attention for domestic market philosophies visit will add tensions across the taiwan straits. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with moments of to 8 pm here in the russian capital. this is our t international. it's so good to have you with us tonight because we continue our special rolling coverage. i'm sure you know the story of the us house speaker. nancy pelosi finally landed in taiwan about about 2 hours or so ago is now about 1 in the morning. the now of course, pelosi touches down despite a huge amount of threats from china. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the u. s. speaker's visit. all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side and the tie want independence, separatist forces

u. s. is definitely doing it kind of broad, but you have to think that they'd at least have to be thinking about abuse. china is the topics quarter in the world, and the u. s. may have shipped a ton of soybean something. 14000000000 dollars last year, with china's exports to the united states. $76000000000.00 in cell phones. $59000000000.00 in computers. it's a bit of a big difference there. china exports important here in the u. s. i'm seeing in new york for us. thank you very much. marketing energy prices are causing misery, thousands across europe and beyond. but for oil companies, it's a different story. the soaring cost of a barrel of crude means that posting enormous quarterly profits b p is actually the latest. and it's just that that has q 2 profits are over 3 times what they were a year reco shall recently face to the 2nd 5 fold increase in profits. meanwhile, frances, total energy source profits more than double american majors. exxon mobil and chevron both almost quadruple that you to profit. so these gains came with an oil averaged price per bow of a $114.00. so i discuss this a bit further. i've been speaking to teary boss who's an ex

and i'm expecting this probably be the u. s. wanted to, to, to blackmail china not to go along with. busy with russia and navy section russia, and it did, you didn't succeed. so this is why i see now in the u. s. is actually getting back at china and, and, and what they want is very important. you look when you see the 2 contact ukraine conflict, where the u. s. wants to fight the last acquaintance one wants to fight russia to the last queen and all to, to the extent of the last european, what they want to do in asia to flight china. to the last time when nice and if not enough to the japanese and korean. so here we see clearly that the us is not fighting. it's was, they had the is the dividing and conquered the usual divided inquiry where they will have other countries fighting the was on behalf of the u. s. i'll for the last 30 seconds. you were almost at a time. but how does this play? i think, wow, so as i say ah, is our playbook, and we are spending time. we don't even realize that we are cynics. we do this because it makes us feel good. and there are plent

irritant or another pull on that relationship, but that it will remain fairly frosty between china and the u. s. the other reading of course, is that we could see another escalation from china, further escalation, the u. s. responding. and we could see this, this relationship as i said, which is already is seen as frosty, descending even further. thank you for that. so me some escandone in washington dc or he has lucas and all the stories making headlines around the world. voters in the u. s. 8 of kansas have voted to maintain the right to abortion in a deeply conservative state. the vote was the 1st state wide referendum on abortion, since the u. s. supreme court overturned the national right to the procedure in june. the vote has been seen as a test case for abortion rights nationwide. the death toll from a wildfire in california is north, has risen to fall, the place has destroyed more than 100 homes since erupting last friday. authority saved the mckinney fire still remains out of control. despite rains earlier this week, if one of many places burning in the west of the country, the united

u. s. and china. and of course, between taiwan and china as it's i want is waiting very cautiously for nancy pelosi to arrive on like on like china, where, you know, it's been spread across social media, all the rhetoric, all this national music fervor. taiwan is largely remain quiet. but i must point out to you i'm, i don't know if you can see it very well behind me and barely unsure that is taipei, one, a one bad building right there by me and it's been lit up with messages. welcome, welcoming. nancy pelosi saying welcome to taiwan speaker of the house, taiwan heart. usaa. i just had to mentioned that that is a commercial entity, not a government entity, but it does seem that various excitements building up to this here. to be reminders, once again why this visit is so contentious. so you know, taiwan has always tried to maintain itself on an international stage, but it only has more than a little more than a dozen. diplomatic ally said you to china one china policy, right. you either recognize china

and president biden has signed a landmark bill that aimed to make the u. s. competitive with china when it comes to the production of computer chips. the bill provides over $52000000000.00 in subsidies for us based manufacturing and research. the chinese chinese embassy in washington says china firmly opposes the bill. but yet more on this, let's cross to our correspondent in new york yen score to yann's. i was great to have you on the program. and how exactly is the us going to go about increasing it's semiconductor production then? no, well, i mean, part of the idea is sir, to give a good door invest a good $50000000000.00 to bring production back in the united states, sir. but also there are some texts incentives also for the development and research of semiconductors here in the united states. so we heard, besides this plan from a joe biden and there's some egg that he's signed that mike on. technology, for example, is spending $40000000000.00 for the next 10 years and also a producer chips here in the united states earlier this year in tell made a similar announcement was you

china's territorial claim to taiwan. the u. s. does supply weapons to taipei and it's 1979 taiwan relations act. the island is a major economic and technology partner to the u. s. it supplies more than half of the world. semiconductors, china seas, taiwan as a breakaway province, that will eventually be united and hasn't rolled out using force. ah, let's bring in our guests in taipei, vincent chow form a director of the political did division at the time. pay economic and cultural representative office in the u. s, and a former chief of staff to both the taiwan national security council and foreign minister in miami june teufel drayer, professor of political science at the university of miami and editor of the book taiwan in the area of science when changes and challenges and in beijing henry wheel yeah. when founder and president of the center for china and globalization and director of the chinese people's institute of foreign affairs variable and welcome to you all. i'd like to start with you and re clear wang in beijing with your thoughts on nancy pelosi visit. and the reaction that we've see

between warships destroy, is and fight a gen a taiwanese islands also have said now to be put on full combat alert china had already warned washington of serious consequences of the u. s. a diplomat. visual uses, the china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speakers visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the us side in the taiwan independence, separatist forces, ah, such are you some pictures from the song, shine airport in taipei, a regional and military base where nancy pelosi is playing right there arrived earlier. the flight trucking website, a flight rate off. so the number of people around the world watching a jet on line, reached 700000 reported record figure for that tracking service that's below see right there in a pink pen suit in mass coming down. the run pop stairways of the airplane. she stepped off at about $1050.00 p. m local time. and 1st things 1st you got to pose for a photo with a group of time when he's officials apollo. she said that her visit is evidence of the u. s. commitment to support taiwanese democracy. pelosi has bec

and al jazeera. thank you. 2 other news now. china says it's going to stop cooperating with the u. s. and a range of global issues as the road continues over the visit to taiwan by u. s. hospital nancy pelosi. beijing regards the island as part of china and it's furious about her recent trip. china is now holding military drills using live ammunition close to tie one's territory. florence louis has more from non pen where diplomats from the u. s. and china have been meeting on the sidelines of the association of south east asian nations conference. as a meetings intern on pen drew to a close. cambodia is foreign minister who's chair of the association of southeast asia. nations acknowledged the difficulties that lay ahead. we know that every years we have our set of challenges, the address, but i had to say that never before, not like these here have we been confronted with so many parallels. at the same time. tensions over the war in ukraine and us. how speaker nancy pelosi is visit to tie one have overshadowed events here. the divide between the u. s. and its allies on one hand and c

and authoritarianism. but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to u. s. strategy to check china's power in the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes and global trade. and the majority of the world's advanced semiconductors, used in everything from smartphones to cars. joke are made on the island, tries to relocate production line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan . that would be a big blow to the u. s. and a victory for she didn't pass to y'all. he sees him, but he was, and biden unhappy both have a lot to lose. should they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country swan could eat them. okay, can i ask you, what's the status of the taiwan? i mean, could there actually be any benefit from this kind of visit? so there is not any obvious benefit for under the current situation, china has standards, it's military and economic pressure, anti one. there's worry that sooner or later taiwan would fall like hong kong or ukraine and it, we, if we friends of this question, the other way could tower benefit from pillows is not visit

and it valleys, the u. s. commitments in the 3 joint communiques of china and the united states that there is only one china and the government of the people's republic of china is the so legal government representing the whole and the same tyna. and that united states will, will not develop an official links with taiwan and nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. we have her and we have seeing what she did. and what he said is not at all fish of it. he said, very clarity. you know, her statement a power rival in taiwan that her visit is official at she herself is not a person in the street. it's number 3 in the u. s. government. and she carries great political sensitivities. so by going to taiwan, declaring that the united states size with the higher wins authority, who, which put the taiwan independence on with political agenda in the parties. the parties of democratic a progressive party's constitution is a show of the united states, emboldening type any independent forces. you know, the consequences are very seriously as we have warned that the us side repeatedly. now, we are dealing with the fall out of her visi

u. s. house speakers, the trip members or the public, told us that u. s. just wants to spread its power and influence with lucy, touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use taiwan to get their attention for domestic market. unless these business will add tensions across the taiwan street. i really hope the americans won't come around to mess things up so that we can live a peaceful life with it is 11 pm here in moscow. and just off to 4 am in taipei, taiwan, which is where you as how speak a nancy pelosi is currently huddled inside her hyatt hotel. so yeah, alternately, she called that now the chinese foreign ministry in the meantime has summoned the u . s. ambassador in protest over the visit of the us house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan, comes off to china, had already seriously warned a washington of heavy consequences. china will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguarded sovereignty and territorial integrity. in response to the u. s. speaker's visit, all the consequences arising there from must be borne by the u. s. side and t

u. s. government had the responsibility to stop this visit from going ahead and the china does not accept that this is an unofficial visits and part of long standing u. s. policy on the military front moments after nancy pelosi touch, dan and i pay the purely announced that ever be conducting long range live firing drills and waters off the east of taiwan. and that there would also be drills from thursday in 6 locations encircling taiwan. no doubt designed to demonstrate that china has the ability to overwhelm at the islands. and the saw saying that it is unlikely though that china will take any hostile act wall. nancy pelosi is still in taiwan, but at the same time, the response is likely to be far stronger than anything that we've seen in recent years. it is important, of course, for president she jumping not to be seen to be weak on this issue and to be seen to be in control, particularly at what is a very sensitive time for him. but there are concerns also that this will be used as a pretext for more regular, a military aggressions and provocations towards ty, one of those chinese mil

you've got lucy, you've also got the term, the one china policy and a number of people are speaking out and pointing out the fact that for decades now, the u. s. has respected the one china policy. they've respected the fact that taiwan is a part of china. and now all of a sudden the binding administration seems to be departing from that. and yet they continue to put the blame on lucy herself. yeah, i'll be getting into that with her next guest. thanks for an hour to correspond to rachel blevins with me in the studio on the deed. let's dig deeper into those points with hong kong, independent china specialists, andrew lung. hi there, andrew. as you see it, i'm interested in this, is there a tangible, positive outcome of pelosi trip? and if there isn't, what's its purpose? well actually it was almost one of those. well, it is that she thought that she doesn't want to lose her a house at home elections in the world. so she needs to be in the stall on fire. i've got the consequences. and like, why a lot of that. and that's why both parties seem to be consensus that because todd is that the congo that united states to make sure that she does both.

one. china principal china strongly urges the united states to stop playing to tie one car and using to i want to contain china. and people in taiwan itself are anxious over the u. s. health because trip members of the public told us the us just wants to spread its pro and influence not help them for them to lucy touch china's bottom line. she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just to use tie one to get our attention for domestic market place he's visit will add tension to cross the taiwan strait, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with hello and welcome to our international book coming to live for my headquarters here in moscow for me and the team. thank you very much for joining us. china has begun military drills and areas surrounding ty, one that's in response to the visit of the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi to tie pe . he has some of the latest footage shade by chinese media. 21 chinese warplanes passed through ty, one's a defense identification zone. and according to beijing, military sources drills will include a non nuclear missile launches from the see east of the island territory. t

u. s. and china, when it comes to the rivalry and the pacific, but do you think they're slowly being pushed into the direction of picking one right. well not picking aside is a picking. it isn't choice in itself, right? so definitely there are countries in saudis, asia, which will be fence ethers are forever old. don't try to do that. but at the same now let's not forget the philippines, thailand, r u. s. treaty allies. so in an event of conflict, if god forbid it reaches that point, you know, basis in the philippines in thailand potentially could be used by american forces by japanese forces, by australian forces in an event of contingency. and then you have other countries like singapore, for incense, or even indonesia, which are a non aligned in terms of their formal diplomatic predisposition. but especially in the case of singapore does emerge as a vital, vital de facto ali, off the united states. so, i mean, the joke is that, you know, countries like the philippines are allies that don't act like alice. while, you know, countries like singapore are not allies, but the app like allies.

u. s. and china are, by far its biggest trading partners. so india prefers to remain neutral towards his partners. it went towards russia because that's where in the buy is not only a lot of weapons, but also oil and gas at bargain prices. for a closer look at india's economy, 75 years after the countries independence, let's fall over to our correspondent charro cardia, and deli charo, despite the ukraine war. despite the pandemic, india's central bank governor says the country's economy remains an island of stability. is he right? well, create a lot of economists would beg to differ with the governor because when be a governor or even a union ministers, when they talk about india being an island of stability, mostly the focus on growth with growth is not really the biggest parameter of the health of being an economy. now, this is also a fact that for an institution, investors have been pulling out from the indian market. and that followed has been happening from at least january this year, if not the lead last year as well. so it's, it's, i

and colder, which we in china and the united states will be felt. and you know that he's a tragedy for all of us, because it's china and the u. s. the already in the accident with lisa, the west cannot come together. well, right? humanities, future use. do we all that i thought over you talk about humanity being things sorta sorta jump in so quickly. but you know that we have some analysts on earlier here on our team international this evening talking about their a sudden flash points in the world. but the u. s. is directly or indirectly involved in ukraine is one of them tie one is another. so be a cause of, oh and then iran. why are we at a point in the world, were there a flash points uprising in certain parts of the world and yet, and yet, it always seems as one key player that's involved. what's the point? well, if you mention iran, now, notice also that the sanctions that way introduced, i think yesterday a couple of days ago were hitting chinese fans who do not join it, which do not accept secondary sanctions. namely that one thing is that the united states does not want to work with trade with iran, but it is also tellin

u. s. just wants to square to power and influence . not help them. for the low see touch, china's bottom line, she touched the red line. so both the u. s. and china have to take actions accordingly. they just use, tie one to get our attention for domestic market. low fees visit will attention to cross the taiwan straits, which has no benefit at all for the taiwan people. with it's just gone when i am in moscow and 6 am in taipei, taiwan, which is way nancy pelosi is hold up in her hotel room. we're coming to life on the russian capital. i'm policy and for myself on the team here. welcome. china has begun military trolls and areas surrounding tie one that some response to the visit of the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi to taipei. yes. some of the latest footage shared by chinese media $21.00 chinese warplanes passed through ty, once a defense identification zone, and according to beijing, military sources drills will include non nuclear missile launches on the see east of the island territory. del include live, fire exercises and coordination between ownership and find to aircraft.

u. s. and china have been using this form as a means to court allies and court friends. china promising closer economic ties. the u. s. reaffirming its commitment to keeping the indo pacific region free and open southeast asian countries. really the, they're really saying that they just want to see peace and stability maintained in this region. and they want these countries to use the forums here at panam pen as a means of communication. but you know, we're really seeing the tensions and the taiwan strait being played out on a more personal level here and on pen. we've seen that on several separate occasions now earlier this morning when the japanese foreign minister was speaking at the east asia summit, the russian foreign minister and the chinese foreign minister walked out during that summit. and then the day before when china was supposed to hold a meeting with japan, they cancelled at the very last minute to show their displeasure with his g. 7 statement about nancy, close his visit to ty one, japan of course being part of the g 7 group. so that's, you know, those are the 10 that you see

u. s. and its allies on one hand and china and russia and the other appears to deepen. china and russia top diplomats walked out of the east asia summit when the japanese foreign minister was speaking, reportedly in protest against japan's criticism of beijing's military exercises around ty, one, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin said there was no justification for china's actions. these provocative actions are a significant escalation. we've seen how beijing is attempted to change the status quan, taiwan for some time. for example, more than doubling the number of aircraft flown over the center line that separates china and taiwan with the past 2 years. pursuing economic were political interference and cyber attacks against our now they've taken dangerous acts to a new level. united states is conveyed to the p r c consistently and repeatedly that we do not seek and will not provo a crisis. it's unlikely china will back down. it's foreign minister has criticized the u. s. and defended beijing's action from, sorry to bother you. but lucy's visits her serious him. but that chain a so go

and being recognized by the u. s. in such a way at brits, both china and taiwan in a very awkward position and not to say the u. s. also. and especially this comes at the time when tensor tensions are so high between all 3. so, you know, this was high one in the middle of what could be us, china tensions in a not, but you know, in its own then someone's own south. what's it in a very awkward position where china, where it doesn't have the military might to stand up against china. you know, she had mentioned ukraine and russia and all of that. and so once been watching that so carefully, you know, for so long, nobody expected russia to invade ukraine. you know, those that been building up militarily on the sides. so china's actions again suddenly take on a lot more meaning at this point, when we're seeing that conflict happening along with china's growing might okay, are difficult. harlan the in sonata editor of taiwan plus in type a thank you for that. we've just been seeing these pictures of for years. how speaker nancy pelosi landing in taiwan and being met by a delegation there. she said, our visit is part of
