u. s. have been increasing over the past few years, and u. s. is now almost the 2nd largest trading partner on for taiwan. so being able to trade smoothly is alma important for the 2 parts. and the 2nd important issue is digital trait. and we know the u. s. want to boot a new digital trait order in this region and how and has always want to be part of it. and just as i mentioned that the u. s. is trying again, it's our mom importance and also influence in this region into town is ready to prove that they are in compliance with their rules. now we know that the china views taiwan as part of its own territory and bristles at any perceived treatment of taiwan as a sovereign nation state. what does beijing say about these plan talks? then? what china has always been firmly opposed to any form of official contacts between the u. s. and tie one, including the negotiation of agreements with sovereign connotations, or official nature of beijing accuses of, of you as of the playing tricks over the taiwan issue. this time and want them to stop negotiating and signing agreements with taiwan. d, w. so it's on hand in

u. s. and taiwan already share a longstanding trade and investment relationship. why does this apparently need to be deepened? well, 1st of all, to taiwan. ah, it's something that they had been with him for more than 20 years, although it's called an initiative now, but time and leave that will eventually become a complete f t a. and how i believe that it will also help it to pave the way to joy c, p t, p p, which they have a fierce competition with our melon, china, and a for us. it's just a part of it. some strategy in the pacific strategy to build new trade orders. um, we know that china is um, trying to gain is in our importance and its influence in this region. so there's not, no doubt that this initiative is emmy at china, which plays an important role in the world's biggest trade, a framework r e c p, in which the u. s. united states is now aims to working closely with taiwan is i'm essentially a tool to compete strategically with china. so taiwan hoping for a full fledged to a free trade agreement at the end of these talks here. what specifically is in it

u. s. and taiwan. in dealing with this threat from china, your last walk of a moment of truth for approaching a richer because that her, her moment of truth arrived there because of man to spur, man, super lucy's recent visit. what i don't think so. i mean, there are all sorts of different take some nancy pelosi visit and what the chinese exercise that took place after it. mean some people i've been talking to here to say that they do feel that the chinese did show degree of restraint in those exercises. but what they also did was establish what we talked about as a new normal, that china's a fighter jets, for instance, now go further than they did across what's called a median line. at the line sort of in between taiwan and china. on the, in the taiwan strait. but the kind of moment of truth i'm really talking about here is the fact that china says that it wants to re unify as they put it with taiwan. and a great charity of the people of taiwan. say that they simply don't want that. how do you resolve

and you also have to remember that in general, we have seen a shift in the u. s. tone and rhetoric on taiwan. the policy for a long time from the u. s. has been one of strategic ambiguity, so it has official diplomatic ties to china, but also unofficial ties to taiwan, supporting democracy there. and president bite and just in may said openly that the u. s. would defend taiwan if china attacked the white house try to walk back those statements. but the point they're pablo is that it could be said that this trip by nancy pelosi is not entirely out of line with what we've seen from the white house and from president biden himself. so me briefly, if you could, and you touched on it a little bit earlier, how much worse could relations actually gap between china and the us? well, the relationship certainly isn't in the best state at the moment. remember some of the pulls on this relationship, the biden ministration announcing that diplomatic boy caught the beijing olympics. they've sparred over everything from economics to technology and security. so the relationship already isn't pretty frosty t

and taiwan. may ago, june, june for the u. s. warship, sailing through the taiwan strait. the eastern theatre command tracked and monitored the entire process. us warships frequently show off their force under the guise of freedom of navigation. this is not a promise of freedom and openness, but an attempt to provoke and undermine regional peace and stability. china once again urges the u. s. to stop hollowing out and distorting the one china principal yoke, the warships were accused of crossing the median line that separates the chinese mainland anti wine. it was the 1st us naval transit in the waterway since us china attention spiked over this month's visit to the island by house speaker, nancy pelosi, scotty nell hughes, political commentator, and t. v. host. with more details on sunday, 2 american naval ships made it no secret that they were sailing through the taiwan strait. a bold signed by the united states. as is the 1st operation since how speaker nancy pelosi visited the island of taiwan on august 4th. now since then, multiple us legislators have visited taiwan, a

and we can see, oh, china demands the u. s. stop all military contracts with taiwan in an effort to avoid further tensions in the region. the concern comes as biden's administration plan, says congress to approve more than $1000000000.00 and military aid to the island. the u. s. arm sale to taiwan grossly violates the one. china principal encourages separatist forces advocating taiwan independence and increases tensions in the taiwan strait. the u. s. side needs to immediately stop arms sales to and military contact with taiwan and to stop creating factors that could lead to tensions in the taiwan strait. that the man came after a chinese foreign ministry spokesperson accused america of deliberate undermining of regional peace. that was after 2 american worship sailed through the taiwan straits, separating china and taiwan. may go june, june for the u. s. warship, sailing through the taiwan strait. the eastern theatre command tracked and monitored the entire process. us warships frequently show off their force under the guise of freedom of navigation. this is not a p

and say, you know, the u. s. has your back the u. s is going to support taiwan, and the u. s. has, by law has to protect, give taiwan the means to protect itself. so, you know, if china does make any moves, this is not just of molding tie. one. this involves the other superpower, which is washington. and where our attentions already are at a really high point between washington and a gene. so there's all kinds of geopolitics around this, vivia they've, the interesting thing is going to be china's reaction to this, of course. and there is a suggestion that and it is not going to be so much china's reaction to the u. s. in terms of a response is actually going to be its reaction to taiwan. is there any indication? oh, how that might manifest itself is the stuff that we could be looking for to see how china is going to respond to this. particularly as far as taiwan is concerned. right, so on, on a much more practical level that affects the daily life period by one china, already in the run up to the landing band, thousands of import the food and agricultural product. the law beat

and does not represent official u. s. government policy towards china and taiwan. it's important to make that distinction. this is not a unified u. s. government action. and the by the administration is made very clear that they don't think this is a wise move by the speaker. however, many members of congress, the u. s. senate and the house of representatives, a very strong supporters of taiwanese position, visa the beijing. they want to demonstrate strong congressional support for ty, one's ability to operate autonomously. and that if there is going to be any solution to the ty, one issue that it be handled peacefully between beijing and ty pay. and that's the kind of hybrid warfare, a wolf war, or you're diplomacy that we've seen china exercise against taiwan in recent years. it's interesting to think of the ramifications of this from, from the people in the region, the taiwanese, the chinese, do you think ironically, could such a move if it's seen as, as oregon's really, that she can touched on here. and there's going to be no huge implications that that could see people coalesce around beijing amazin,

and it, that would be in line with a shift in the u. s. tone and rhetoric that we've seen on in taiwan america as long as it has a strategic ambiguity policy so that it has official diplomatic ties with china, but unofficial ties to taiwan will continue to support a democracy in taiwan and president biden himself a did a challenge that when he said in may, that he would defend taiwan, the u. s. would defend taiwan of china attacks. those statements will walk back. but still it's important to note that what we're seeing from nancy pelosi this visit, is not entirely out of line with some of the tone and rhetoric that we've seen from the, the white house itself. and a more generally, what is the feeling that domestically about her trip to the, to what taipei so there has been plenty of support for speaker policies, visit, and certainly from democrats and 26 senate republicans. i issued a statement today saying they also stand behind this trip and say that it is consistent with the u. s. as policy on china and the region. and, and, you know, there has been the accusation that democrats hav

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 separatist forces. either let's bring you some pictures right here from the song shot boarding type pay and a regional and military base. and that's a plan, right? the and nancy pelosi on both the plane are rising just about an hour and a half or so ago. the flight tracking website, a flight rate. i said the number of people following her jet reached 700000 records tickets about the service wearing a mask. the us house speaker. softer. stop to start off the plane at around $1050.00 p. m. local time and post the photo with a group of taiwanese officials, a policies become the highest ranking american official to visit the self, rhode island in 25 years. well, it's all about responses. now. china is set to hold a series of military drills around taiwan sang. it'll conduct missile launches from the sea, just east of the island territory in accordance various military sources. they include the use of weapons under coordination between warships and various fighter aircraft as

taiwan itself are pretty anxious over the 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

so if there is some tension between a china and taiwan, the u. s. on one side will try to make up for maybe a mist exports a to china and then on the other side, taiwan has also become more and more important for the united states, for example, or was receiving em, semiconductors from that area. i mean, at this point we are still a bit shy and detailed so we will get of the details. so more precisely, in the next couple of days, how this new trade a deal are actually might look well like between the united states and i, one and on a not unrelated note. so, so on friday, 5 chinese firms confirmed that they got to be de listing from the new york stock exchange, where you are just reminders of the background to that europe over all there is the law group brewing between the 2 biggest economy is on the planet between the united states and china and already for quite some time the united states. so security and exchange circle. messina, commissioners, threatened actually 2 dealers, some chinese companies of aidan follow are with us sir. transparency rules

as we know, taiwan is isolated from the global society and the constellations between the u. s . anti one would of course, be very significant for taiwan. and this is how thick navy can distribute. zachary lee in taipei. thanks so much. my pleasure. all right, tom, now to take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world authorities in california. i. 2 bodies were found after a blaze that broke out on friday, so called mckinney wildfire has forced at least 2000 people to evacuate. vice have also broken out in the western state of oregon and montana. police in bolivia have clashed with coca farmers protesting over the establishment of a market in the capital to pass countries leading growers association claims the new market is illegal is run by a rival group. doctors in brazil have successfully separated twins, co joined at the head. the surgery took more than 20 hours to complete and has been called the most complex of its kind. the 3 year old twins were born with a fused brain and will spend at least 6 months in hospital rehabilitating. now the 1st gr

will carry out her well joint sea and air training and s space north southwest and southeast of taiwan. let's take a closer look at the history between the u. s. and china, in relation to taiwan, while in 1979 at washington and beijing established full diplomatic relations. us pledged to respect the so called one china policy and dropped its formal ties with taiwan. and 2001 at present. george bush was asked whether the u. s would have an obligation to defend taiwan if china chose to attack his response was yes. on the 2019 president, trump signed the time pay act. james, to increase the scope of us relations with taiwan. it has received billions of dollars in military aid. and as of this yet a u. s. department of state since it opposes any unit, actual changes to the status quo. mahonnan clink, his a former u. s. deputy assistant secretary of defense for east asia. he explains wipe those east trip has angered beijing so much the chinese that certainly o invaded telegraph of their anger at the visit of the speaker, and have already ratcheted up that sanction even further. in the taiwan spray. i hearings of sent warships and warplanes towar

u. s. and speaker, nancy plays his visit to taiwan. earlier this month, china's military says it's monitoring the u. s. navy ships passage and is ready to in its words, defeat any provocation. so may poor e as a senior fellow at the international institute for strategic studies. the asia office explains why the movement of your ships through the taiwan strait is significant. in the us as a cool sent woo ships through the taiwan straits before. but the real significance is the fact that the place you visit happened the 2nd of august. and you know, this is happening is just 25 or 30 days later. it's the sequencing of the speaker of the house going to taiwan and the fact that the u. s. is felt comfort enough within a month to send these to guided missile cruises through the taiwan straits. it is extraordinary from us perspective, to be able to project this kind of strength in defiance of china's claims to, to want to reunify taiwan at some point in the future. well, this is actually quite difficult for china to react to because we're talki

and democratic way of life. for taiwan, no sovereignty for our 23000000 people. men in the west seed as a fight between democracy and authoritarianism. but that's not the only reason why the u. s. is involved. taiwan is integral to yes, strategy to check tennis power in the pacific. the taiwan strait is one of the most important shipping lanes in global trade. and the majority of the world advanced semiconductors is everything from smartphones to cars are made on the island. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan, that would be a big blow to the u. s. and a victory for she ting being. but he and biden have a lot to lose you. they know, full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their countries. one to richard does this mean that the u. s. and the west would risk going to war over taiwan is using to pick up if we just pick up a little bit on what joe biden, we saw him say in the, in the report there where he said, yes, that is our commitment to help taiwan militarily if you, if the chinese were to invade, well actually that is not the u. s. commitment, and this has been one of the things that i think it has contributed to a sense of uncertainty over the

and democratic way of life to taiwan. no sovereignty for 23000000 people. many in the west see it as a fight between democracy 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 and 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 jan. pam. yeah. but he was, and biden untie both have a lot to lose city. they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country swan could meet on. go be thought. let's take a closer look at this with professor elizabeth fry. and laura, she's a president of a large consulting and offer of politics and society in contemporary china. she joins us from middlebury and the last 8 of them on to welcome to d. w. professor, why do you think nancy pelosi is doing this? well, she had planned a trip to asia back in april, but t

suspending imports and exports of several goods to and from taiwan, conducting joint air and sea live ammunition drills near taiwan. and summoning the u. s. ambassador in beijing, policy's trip has come to an end, but with chinese american relations at such a low point, it's not clear yet what the long term repercussions of this visit will be. my homage m jerome, for inside story. well, let's look more closely at the u. s. relationship with taiwan. washington does not have formal diplomatic ties with the island, but maintains what it calls. a policy of strategic ambiguity recognizes the chinese government in beijing, but not china's territorial claim to taiwan. the u. s. does supply weapons to tie pay and it's 1979 taiwan relations act. the island is a major economic and technology ponder to the us. it's applies 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 division at the time pe, economic and cultural representative office in the u. s. and a fo

and democratic way of life to taiwan. no sovereignty for 23000000 people. many in the west see it as a fight between democracy 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 and 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, using 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, jan. packed to y'all, ease he did, but he was, and biden, untie both have a lot to lose. should they know a full blown war could be the worst case scenario for both their country slunk would go back. he w correspondence, zachary lee and ty pay sent us his assessment on what nancy pelosi visit to taiwan would mean. just wont theories consequences if ms. pelosi visit, ty, one means that you could provoke a response from china, perhaps a military one. and of course were risk patients between china in the u. 8th. hello . this be that is seen by china s

one china, principal, beijing, the only seal government to present the whole china and taiwan is a part of china, the u. s. only if he's then so be an official relations with taiwan about the congress delegation petosi. i can be a while until there are principles. and most importantly, 1971. the un resolution of a 27558. that also represent a very clearly not the headlines part of china. so the u. s. it's not a while to hold up by lateral community, but also international principles under the u. n. framework. so do you think that these new military journals by china could finally force the us to stay away from tie one i tell you this is to show that china has the capacity to defend the integrated and us oriented as so there is no so called a international water, there's no so called the michel line across the highlighted states. so the u. s. actually need and should respect to the current it, not just the china and all the members in the international static. as you said, washington keep saying it fully respects the one china principal on paper. right. and yet it continues to send military support to tie

u. s. so theoretically the u. s. does not recognize taiwan on an international stage or diplomatically now a high level visit like this in turns. and as being translated here us that the u. s. recognizes tie one and legitimizes tie one as its own entity with its own government. and that is something that china definitely awesome ones. nancy pelosi has mentioned is 3rd in line to the u. s. presidency though this kind of a high level visit. it's really irking china on this because it's basically saying that you know, that while the u. s. s. it subscribes to china's policy that i want as part of china surgery. at the same time, it's not towing the line when it calls on the u. s. not to take such such actions. and this also comes at a time and washington and beijing. tensions are. i'd highs and beijing and taiwan ty, paid tensions are at high to their relationship has deteriorated since 2016 when tying, when the current president came into office. and this is likely to even cost a further deterioration of that. and you know, if you listen to local media here and other sources to say that for those, these visit will definitely have a me

and democratic way of life. the taiwan no sovereignty for 23000000 people. many in the west see it as a fight between democracy 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 product in line. if china successfully imposes its rule on taiwan, that would be a big blow to the u. s. in a victory for she jam packed utah. he did, but he was, and biden, untie 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 be on cobra. that like i back with the w correspondence act really in taipei. so what's at stake here for tie one, zachary, could they benefit really from this kind of visit, keeping in mind that leading members of the body administration have made it clear . this is just a private trip exactly. well, but you have to note that pelosi is actually taken in lie to you as pre
