u. s. and china cass so much about who leads this tiny little chain of islands of the east coast of papua new guinea and north of australia. ste. yeah, between wasted today. i think the answer to that is that did you because of the geo political location of the pacific islands, the wider region, terry, is your quoted, what vocations are and know, pacific cio politics which are very much relevant to china. the united states, australia and other countries in the region and because of the solomon islands location, or stripe p c lanes and then that one easier to pel ago. it was a lot of interest from outside powers. and ultimately, if you're able to exercise influence in the solomon islands, you're able to then project influence outwards, potentially. i think that's the whole point. what interest of china is our embrace of the phone. okay, so the previous prime minister i grabbed the world's attention when he signed the security deal with china back in 2022. and the new guy jeremiah ne, late looks like he's going to continue these countries that china friendly stands. why, what's in it for the, t

so i think the for that, as china has received a lot of criticism by the you, but also by japan and the u. s. and a china has brushed off of those accusations and basically says that we are a peace loving nation. so we want to also help negotiate a piece, but as very much so under the terms that also russia once. so for example, regarding the pilot plan, a peace conference in switzerland. china has not officially endorsed it and has not, you know, set or confirmed by that they will send a high ranking delegation to that. but it has rather set that russia needs to be on the table to end of the web. when vladimir 14 came to paging, he gave an interview to sit and watch with the state and use agency of china and set the t endorses at china as a piece plants. so i think they are very much aligned on that issue. sternness ivy and crouched more embracing. they're all right, you are up to date. don't forget there's plenty more news and information on our website, dw, dot com and you can follow us on social media or handle is dw news about the audio . yes. for me on the team here in berlin, thanks f

so i think for that as china has received a lot of criticism by the you, but also by japan and the u. s. and a china has brushed off of those accusations and basically says that we are a peace loving nation. so we want to also help negotiate a piece, but us very much, so under the terms that also russia once. so for example, regarding the pilot plan, a peace conference in switzerland. china has not officially endorsed it and has not, you know, set or confirmed by that they will send a high ranking delegation to that. but it has rather said that russia needs to be on the table too. and i actually have been letting me a full team came to page and he gave an interview to say what to the state use agency of china and set the t endorses at china piece plants. so i think they are very much aligned on that issue. fabi and briefly if you code how dependent has russia become on china in recent years? so yeah, the right size, the a to do a putting it in this relationship and if you look at the trait, then it's booming. but i mean, china is a very diverse trade relationships with all over the worl

u. s. and china have also joined in on the multiple regiments events more than a 100 demonstrates as much to the territory of the russian embassy in washington. the diplomatic missions, employees and the families carry posters of their relatives. that's where it is that the grades pay to us take more. the same event was held at the russian embassy in beijing as well. well then 700 people took part. russian citizens, chinese residence as representatives of the roost, convicts done, and that the c i s. countries are like victory day, a day of immense celebration, but also list selection. knowing that finance came but such a colossal cost. 1418 days of a titanic struggle between good and evil lights and darkness and assignment, which so many so resident that lives so that others could live in freedom. and on this momentous occasion, technologies allowing does a virtual voyage into the policy. so that today, on the 9th of may 2024, we can step all the way back into 1945 on those final. and when the soviet table falls, 6, theresa, the walls was painted and then surprised for that privilege. on th

and we can also observe the u. s. we action and whether the u. s has to be informed and these are old key items for china to decide it's the follow up actions and any solution on the horizon. well, um from the tony's part i think there's um, kind of um, reaction is to see like how kind of will conduct it's drills. so in the future, if there's a real war coming off, the intelligence may know how to respond and the real force will know how to respond in the future. so that's not a real solution, but i will have to see how it goes in these 2 days. the very latest day from dw, so, so on inside, by thank you. germany says it will not recognize a palestinian state for now. the foreign minister says concrete steps towards the political solution to the conflict in the middle east, a needed 1st. germany is hoping for a 2 state solution negotiated by the israelis and palestinians, leading to a separate state. all countries have voted to recognize palestinian statehood following the homicide tower attacks that spot. the war and gaza. bard off from israel by fences and barriers. the palestinian territories will be f

u . s. and it's more hard line approach to china. and when it comes to taiwan, specifically, he said the europe shouldn't quote answering to crises, but the notes are over its own and essentially, and so when it comes to the question of taiwan, if they didn't, the comes off in these negotiations. remember, that's not a done deal. we, i think from the perspective of type pay or expensing or at least hoping that the con will reiterate the importance of peace and stability across the taiwan strait. but remember, there was such a broad agenda to deal with here. so from, for canada, across trades across your coastal concerns in europe and the type hey, i think is not really expecting the donaldson news launch when it comes to the question and type pay. now when it comes to those other countries, the shooting ping is visiting hungry and so it'd be a, again, we're not really expecting anything to come a vote is these countries have been much more closely aligned with beijing on is to replace compositions hungry, of course, long but the one i

and they need to be supported by countries powers like the china, u. s. e u and the rest of the world not dictated to price. looking ahead to the future, the chinese president also announced another china era cooperation summit, which is set to take place in 2 years and in 2026. what. what issues do you see making it on the docket? well, i mean there, there's so many issues out there. um, but remember, this is not about security. this is really about, you know, trade and things like this. and the china have seen, you know, their ties and the least expand dramatically. you're seeing a tremendous amount of investment in china, and china's role, as i said, is not not to dictate to anybody but simply say, let's trade, let's trade the economic development that is necessary to stabilize a countries to have made people feel that there is something in it for them, and this is really important. i mean, obviously there are concerns about the currency. um, you know, the, that's why thailand has said that they are coming into the bridge. they say the, you and the us c

me appear to your adversary in case russia and china and joint forces the and binding of the new nuclear k to bowl the 21 is just the 1st glimpse of the u. s. new modernization program. the total price tech to update us, nuclear weapons could reach $1.00 trillion dollars over the next 30 years. so new news, more news, and more dangerous. well, the system of the turns was beginning to falter. getting it back under control will be even harder. this time we only have experience in the past of doing arms control and between the soviet union and the united states. we don't really have any experience doing multi actin pianist control agreements. busy so what does that mean for the future? the sale use of nuclear weapons. their value in the minds of military and political leaders is increasing that sense and message also to non nuclear states. we now have new countries in asia, in the maybe east and even in europe. thinking about whether they might need a nuclear weapons capability on their own. the new nuclear arms race is picking up speed and without new rules and place. it will be hard to stop the, i don't know why my name is no mark is my is

and i was trying to, we'll be hosting, which on the m. c. summit in 20202026, many. another milestone on china. and the aeroplanes relation the u. s. has pressed europe to take a hoss stance on china slicing paging. suppose it 8 to most go for the ukraine conflicts. washington's options for the chinese president. suppose your pin tour and 5 years that wrapped up early this month, i'll say it contributes the original mazda and brings us more details in europe is still struggling after being ag done by the u. s. to load up on sanctions against russia. effectively cutting itself off from a major market right next door, including its own cheap energy supplier. it's still stumbling around right now, trying to get back on its feet again. and here comes uncle sam coding europe to get a flight going with china over ukraine. nato members met up in brussels yesterday and the us deputy secretary of state. kurt campbell came out of the meeting. so i'm really excited about the reaction of some european countries to this brilliant new idea. the washington is now trying to paddle i think, what we the hudson by yesterday in the discussions at the n

u. s. preparing for a war with china. and is that why we're sending taiwan so many billions of dollars and money and weapons? we're going to talk to the author of that report. stage i know, joins us. he's up next. don't go away. the the the a welcome back. this is direct and back and i'm rick sanchez. k j no is a journalist. he's a political unless he's a writer and a teacher is specializing in the geo politics of the asia pacific region. and we joined him now or should i say he enjoys us? did j thank so much for being with us, but should it be with you? hey, so you recently wrote, and i read with interest, but the us sending communication systems to taiwan is like painting eyes on buddha . it just thought was a fascinating way to express yourself and you go on to say that it could be a lisa link and a trans national coalition killed chain for a war with china. but those are big words, scary words. what do you mean? explain us. explain that to us as well. the term trends national till chain is not my language. it's the langua

and 2020 suite 2026 . meaning another milestone on china and the error saves relation. the u. s. has pressed europe to take a hostile, it's on china slicing paging. suppose at the age to most go for the ukraine conflicts. washington has options for the chinese president. suppose you are appealing to in 5 years, the routes up earlier this month. that's close now to us to contribute to rachel mazda, and joining us from paris, a rachel, get to see you, and tell us more about washington's remarks and the impacts on erupt trying to time . well, europe is still struggling here after being a gone by the last to load up on sanctions against russia. effectively cutting itself off from a major market right next door and cleaning its own cheap energy supplier is still stumbling around right now, trying to get back on its feet again. and so here comes uncle sam going you're up to get into a flight. going with china over ukraine. nato members met up here in brussels yesterday, and the us deputy secretary of state per campbell, came out of the meeting, seeming really psyched about the reaction

u. s. and the invitation is basically to help the u. s. people have a feeling of the, i think because of the fear that actually got is a getting a slice from voice the of china and russia. if you don't make eyes using can, you know, because we don't have to be at a central beach, they want to slice off the got there. if you need to sleep, you know, we, one thing i went to the i content, the son, i mean, is what, when would you want me to go? and we do not have to be controlled for bathing. i'm happy that's can, you has an over sure. i'll click on the line and we'll be doing a visit to the west every time they are looking for financial services. leaving looks at helping me do that. i am, if you want to. i mean, if we can get them elsewhere like j not russia, why not? but then one domain across the street and it's because singly to them unless they have a heat, imagine how much we also kind of go to the main thing was the environmental routes . ok, by the time when the us is news is influence on the applicant content. oh yeah, the us. but if you would really soon for the mid few base and said that movie came just over a month, also enabling the chair. and it i

and of course, china has a lot of a u. s. bonds. again, as the interest rates go down, the dollar is going to weaken. and a matter of fact, the get talking about china data with the biggest buyers of gold rush this year, the people from the beginning of the year. because they see the dangers they are in china to what's going on. they've increased their gold sales to the consumers by 24 percent compared to last year. and china is the biggest country in the world buying goal reserves. i'm telling you the dollars going to go down. and this be, this is the, the united states became the country that our founding fathers, ford against, called the u. k. what, what the u. k. down or the sun never sets on the british empire. we could go to more anywhere we want. and after world war 21, what happened to the pound, the pound went to craft because of all the money and all the was they spent the money on say things happening with america. the debt in america is going up one trillion dollars every 100 day. okay. quick side, but before we get to oi

line is to make sure our risk and china remains to tolerable product. china's aim is to minimize the risk to itself. it sees itself into a global competition with the u. s. dominance and certain roll materials that the hans of beijing strategy. you non provence, south west china. we're heading for one of the, you know, and she, home companies, mines, one of the biggest produces of germanium in the world. the quote for its video showcases its success stories, germanium and gallium, are extremely important in the production of semi conductors. germany has made itself vulnerable to extortion by becoming dependent upon red metals. a good haul. so if it's gallium comes from china and over 80 percent of its germanium, china has restricted the export since lucas 2023 to guess even with the us trade sanctions. the trade wall is also affecting germany. china is no longer supplying germanium and gallium, the you non mine defends 2 kilometers into the us. c home didn't respond to a request for an interview. we find faults via and a warning sign that the main entrance strictly forbidden for an authorized persons on vehicles. a security called a p as immediately we

u. s. and the invitation is basically to help the u. s. people have a feeling of the, i think because of the yet that's actually got is a getting a slice from voice, the china and russia. if you don't make i using kenya and no cause to, to have to be at a central beach. they want to slice off the got the feeling, it slipping away. one thing i went to the icons in the sun, i mean tend to is what happens when you want me to go and we do not toughly controlled for bathing. i think i'm happy that's good. now has an over i think i'd like to and they don't insist to the west every time they are looking for financial services. could even looked at helping to bring it to the i am if you want to that, i mean, if we can get them elsewhere like shame that russia, why not? and then what, how many devices treat it as because i think the to them i must be how he didn't. i didn't know, but we also comes on friends. well, the problems of this in these, uh, as it was a pleasure to have you with us here on, on the internet. i still wanna wait, check out, see, don't com, movie lock on the top of them the the hold on for them. so hold on just a minute and then its get close to
