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 province and had hopes the one they were unite with it. and even with the white house, oh billy, opposing any such trip. and president

u. s. from china, when it comes to the rivalry in 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 is a choice in itself, right? so definitely there countries installed is 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. ri

u. s. on friday, climate change though, this is important because the u. s. from china that the world's number one number 2 emitters of greenhouse gases. and wondering how much do you think this is just beijing blustery? well the white house has been in a tough precision with international challenges like china, some speculate actually that this is potentially the count, re puffing chest after how speaker nancy pelosi took the controversial trip to taiwan. so politically that there is a lot of bipartisanship between the democrats and the republicans here in the, as in how it views taiwan and china. but indeed, when it comes to fighting the climate catastrophe, it will be much, much harder if not impossible, without the cooperation between china and the u. s. in easy to do this legislation, despite its shortcomings the compromises despite jain, is possible hyperbole. i mean, it remains a major political victory for president bite does well, the white house and senate democrats has been going back and forth on this major piece of legislate legislation as we just talked ab

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 states and the taliban have accused each other of violating agreed terms . after a c, i journey strike

u. s. to reaffirm this commitment and stand up to china without it coming directly from president biden and his administration. of course nancy pelosi is the speaker of the house. so she's representing a different branch of government. 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 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

u. s. military following the number 3 in the us government into chinese territory. if you go back to the 1900 seventy's up was when america recognized as beijing as china, moving away from their recognition really as type of tiwana of ty pay and but basing no claims that the u. s. has been slowly chipping away at what is it called the one china policy hofer. tim, is that assessment? well, there's a re construction of what the calling pie one these days. i notice today that google has put out false information, suggesting that taiwan is a separate country. it was created more than 100 years ago. no such thing. and the u. s. does not to this day recognize ty, one as a separate country for a number of years that recognize it as the representative of all of china. the tie, one constitution still includes delegates from mongolia and from tibet, for example. it pretended to represent old china. so, but the illusion is being put out there, but this is some sort of independent country and they're going to assure its independence from sean. this is a very, very dangerous scenario. i was just looking through some of the american press earlier. tim, i don't want to stress this is

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 every be conducting long range live firing drills and waters off the east of taiwan. and that there will also be drills from thursday in 6 locations in circling taiwan. no doubt designed to demonstrate that china has the ability to overwhelm at the island. alice 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 living golf alonza int

u. s. tone in rhetoric on taiwan the, 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 to 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 territory. it could get worse. pablo if we see a further, a retaliation or response from china if there's an escalation in that

u. s. how speaker pelosi and even though that visit really triggered a heightened response from china, including a 7 day military exercise around taiwan. but we are continuing to see different delegations including from the u. s. and currently there is a japanese parliamentary delegation and later this year there is going to be a u. k. parliament's delegation and canadian parliament delegation. and the denisha, paloma delegation all scheduled to visit time, one in the coming months. i think these are all signs that despite beijing's morning and these very provocative and heightened and more dangerous, kind of military exercise and activities around time. one, it is not deterring the international community to show its support by sending their par delegations to visit time one. thank you so much for joining us, beginning hearing dw reporter in tawberry. so well, china has said it, so it's on taiwan. it has from the refuse to condemn russia for its water, new crim something born out of the nor limits friendship chinese procedure being and russian president vladimir putin agreed to of the winter ol
