u. s. does not impose sanctions because it thinks countries are violating human rights or international humanitarian up. the u. s. imposes sanctions because a country is acting up outside the scope of u. s. economic and political intersects. what it's about, they will of course, come up with some human rights justification for the sanctions, but it has nothing to do with that. it's all about us control with different countries decides it wants to know its own way. that's when there's. so is this a conflict for both sides? are equally responsible and do you see a way out of this cycle of violence? no, i mean they're not equally responsible. how could they be? is israel's, the occupier? it is the center settler colonial entity here. whenever you see a conflict between god in israel, you want to call it a conflict of the casualties or just one side of the always you know, scores of palestinian dead to you know, several israeli day. so no, it's not an equal conflict. it tends to be more of the turkey shoe of israel, just killing civilians in the occupied territories, and the palestinians putting up some

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 one. is there a possibility for an arm conflict between washington and beijing? well, i think i was able to, we, we have down not a to, to have these because these are sorry, rise to defend us. us are indeed actually it's not depends on trying to national security and entries, but

but this is her personal visit as speaker 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

u. s. high speaker, nancy pelosi has commented on her controversial visit to taiwan by saying the u. s . will not allow china to isolate the island. tensions are high in the taiwan strait following her visit and china is conducting life foreign military drills around the island. pelosi made her comments in japan on the final leg of a trip to asia. her stop over into enraged china's government, which considers the island a part of its territory. right, well i listened to want nancy pelosi how to say the chinese have tried to isolate taiwan. they may try to keep taiwan from visiting or participating in other places . but they will not isolate taiwan by preventing us to travel there. we've had high level visit senators in the spring, a bipartisan way, continuing visits, and we will not allow them to isolate taiwan. let's talk with andrew small, he's with the asia program at the german marshall fund. welcome to the program, andrew. so the u. s. high speaker said that the u. s. will not allow china to isolate taiwan. so what could the us do to stop it from happening? oh, this isn't, as she said, just

not right for her to really pie one. she is completely disregarding counseling from the u. s. u. s. military leaders council not to go, because the wrong time me and she completely disregarded the repeated waldis by the chinese government. because china says our visit will hollow out the one china policy will be in violation of the one china policy and will really cause more damage to china us relations. so she is today and tonight she troublemaker in the whole world because she disregarded sanity judgment. and the rash analogy in pursuing her personal goals in taiwan. whether she wanted to use this visit to hide the fact or the husband is appearing cold in the united states. that's another matter. but i think people in this part of the world, people on both sides of the tower straight, do not want to see nancy pelosi because she does not have and the legitimate business in the try, not area. even the cross straight relation is what she breathes is only bad news and disaster she made really grow a big wedge in the china, us relations on the white hands and in the cross street rela

u. s. high speaker, nancy pelosi has commented on her controversial visit to taiwan by saying the u. s . will not allow china to isolate the island. earlier this week, pelosi became the highest rank in u. s. official to visit taiwan in 25 years, sparking anger from beijing. in the last few minutes, beijing announced it would impose sanctions on pelosi over the visit without specify going what those sanctions are. china began military drills around taiwan in response to policies visit and they've restarted for a 2nd day. chinese plains on ships are reported to have again crossed the median line and the straight between the mainland anti one. these are the biggest ever military drills. china has conducted around taiwan while earlier dw joyce lee in taipei updated us on the latest developments around the island nation. while it afford adria continues today, more chinese wall plains and our naval vessels have crossed the taiwan strait median line. now it's not just about china and taiwan, but regional stability. on thursday, china fired 5 missiles into waters that are part of japan's exclusive econom

u. s. military is not advising this trip. they're not advising this ramp up intention, which of course is impacting them as they're having to increase their presence in the region as well. and so it's been really interesting to see the ways in which the white house has almost tried to back off when you're talking about the speaker of the house. she's not the president of the united states. that's, that's quite extraordinary. said, you've got the u. s. president, seeing that the u. s. military doesn't really think that timing doesn't really think a trip to taiwan is a good idea yet. the speaker seems to be going ahead with it anyway. yeah, exactly. and for them to say that it is entirely her decision. i mean, they are putting her in a place of really remarkable responsibility here, not just for this trip before whatever comes out of it when it comes to those increasing tensions between the us and china. i mean, we've seen how those tensions have continued to increase when it comes to the trade war. now when it comes to these i

not like going into panama or grenada. okay. and last time, maybe daniel can help me with this when. when's the last time the u. s. one, a war? maybe you know, that's beside the point here. now you know that the, what i'm getting at is that the u. s. military is good at attacking sheepherders, but not a major power like china. and i, i wonder if people in the pentagon in their woke seminars are realizing this. go ahead, andy. well this is again i think what makes this on such a grave and dangerous hydration because i think on the one hand of u. s. military of course recognizes the risk that it faces. every senior military official has said that the u. s. i cannot count on winning. of course the factors you mentioned that taiwan being so close to the mainland. trump said this as well, but also they need to consider the rapid advances that the players made over the last 20 or 30 years since the last high one straits crisis. also strategically, i'll use a bruce lee quote here. so bruce lee said, i do not fear the man who knows 10000 kicks, but i do fear the man who has practiced one kick, 10000 times. and with this means here is

u. s. has speaker nancy pelosi has commented on her controversial visit to taiwan by saying the u. s. will not allow china to isolate the island. earlier this week, pelosi became the highest ranking u. s. official to visit taiwan in 25 years, sparking anger from beijing pelosi made her comments in japan on the final leg of a trip to asia. her stop over in taiwan enraged, china's government, which considers the island a part of its territory. while the chinese military responded to policies visit by launching a series of drills after she left. the drills have nachos caused political tensions . they've also impacted everyday life along the taiwanese shoreline. as dw zachary li reports. this was the very 1st time that capital chin home mean has had to return to la pose due to the chinese military access. i see, he says he's never before feel so threatened by b jeans actions and he doesn't want to take any risks. one got heard about the live fire exercise. i wonder so we are scared scared of being hit by a missile. i was supposed to work for 10 days. now i will lose more than $3000.00 us dollars f

u. s. would not accept if it was placed where russia is placed, that somebody made an, an adversarial alliance up to the very border and placed its weapons that the u. s . is a running on exceptionalism, as we all know done. so for a long time, once upon a time they had a few will the powers on the right and the charm and the vision to do so. it's no longer the case. and secondly, they are running on this is a completely bizarre idea of rule space international order, the only rules based international order. the reason of this world is the united nations charter and international rewards on the conventions. why are we doing something else? because we are on the way down, we're decaying, but we're still suffering from coopers. we can do whatever we please, and we can go to the well and they will listen to it. no, they won't listen to the united states that much and he was, and that's where the ally should have a better antenna function and help united states their friend to adapt to the new world, which will be multi polar. it is not going to be a well dominated with chinese, and the chinese d

u. s. withdrawal. done not since the u. s. wister. all on if you go back off, al keidel has never been completely eradicated. so for people who follow the subject, it was always clear that some people, some okay, i'll kind operatives are around afghanistan and how much they did. what exactly they did. that was the question mark, but that they are around that, that they are active, has already been the case before taliban takeover. again, with imo knowles, of what he, it was suspect that, that he, somewhere into i've gone a san pocket on border area with sources on this agreeing on which side of the border that he was in call loop was certainly a surprise. but it all condos around is not a surprise at all. i'm. can you give us a sense of how this operation was different from the bin laden operation in 2011? it was completely different. here we're talking about the cia drone shooting apparently, to rockets into that house, according to u. s. officials. um it was a type of messiah that doesn't have a warhead, so there's no explosion. um,

u. s. was hoping that china would overreact the idea that china was going to shoot down below his plane is pretty preposterous. it's certainly not in the nature of chinese behavior around the world. but i think that's why the u. s. moved to carry your groups to the region. they were hoping for, a big dramatic reaction of not shooting down at least forcing down the plain. that didn't happen because that's not how china rolled right dislike al rush. not how russia roles until it gets worse still. and so they didn't get that and so the gloves are off and chinese is okay, we can wait this out. we can't housing, economic pain, we can't wait for elections and have a pro, you re unification. goverlan. daniel, don't you find it really interesting? again, there parallel with ukraine, is that the way the west a particular united states talks about the russian special military operation that they're failing and all this, they always protect what they would do, how we would shoot down the plane. yes. but they would, you know that, that again, this kind of arrogance, of projecting on the others. who are gentlemen gonna jump in here. we're go

u. s. was hoping that china would overreact the idea that china was going to shoot down below his plane is pretty preposterous. it's certainly not in the nature of chinese behavior around the world. but i think that's why the u. s. moved to carry your groups to the region. they were hoping for a big dramatic reaction if not shooting down at least forcing down the plain. that didn't happen because that's not how china rolled right. just like al rush, not how russia roles until it was forced to. and so they didn't get that. and so the gloves are oftentimes it's okay. we can wait this out, we can housing, economic pain, we can wait for elections and have a pro, you re unification. goverlan. daniel, don't you find it really interesting. again, there parallel with ukraine, you know, is that the way the west a particular united states talks about the rushes, special military operation that they're failing and all this, they always protect what they would do. oh, we would shoot down the plane. yes. but they will know that again, this kind of arrogance, of projecting on the others are gentlemen gonna jump in here. we're going to go to a

u. s. and the foreign ministry here in beijing address not to day spokesperson watching, said that when there is a provocative visit to taiwan by a u. s. politician, it cannot be considered unofficial, especially when that politician is the number 3 u. s. government official. and especially when she is traveling to taiwan on a military aircraft watching also address the issue of precedence, referring to for my house, pick a new ding which is in the taiwan and 997. say that just because it has happened before, doesn't mean the you, i should be repeating that mistake. so that was a clear rejection of the point that was made by whitehouse. national security advisor john car be saying that this is part of long standing u. s. policy and that there was no reason to escalate any sort of crisis because of this. she was also off today whether not the lines of communication were being kept open between beijing and washington. and she said that china heads repeated to washington. many, many times that it was opposed to visits, and since she hoped it was clear, washington about the severity of this visit

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 nanc

u. s. not shows a clutch of severe storms that brought torrential rain to northern areas of texas, causing flash flooding in places like dallas. now the us weather service says more than $230.00 millimeters fell in parts of dallas, and that was the 2nd rainy is 24 hour period on record. we haven't seen this much rain in about 90 years. now it is going to clear up by the time we get to friday is an improving picture. we'll have the temperature start to improve, but it does remain rather wet with those storms sitting stagnant li over those central states of the southern u. s. elsewhere for western areas, the heat continues to build for the likes of seattle western areas of canada and along much of the west coast of the u. s. it's a similar story for the east coast. those storms has shifted off out to sea, leaving hot and humid conditions in places like new york city and washington dc. but it is a very wet story across the u. s. gulf coast, as it is for western areas of mexico. tropical moisture m

not like going into panama or grenada. okay. and the last time, maybe daniel can help me with this when. when's the last time the u. s. one, a war? maybe you know, that's beside the point here. now you know that the, with what i'm getting at is it. the u. s. military is good at attacking sheepherders, but not a major power like china. and i, i wonder if people in the pentagon in their woke seminars are realizing this. go ahead, andy. well, this is again, i think what makes this such a grave and dangerous? i'd ration because i think on the one hand of u. s. military of course recognizes the risk that it faces. every senior military official has said that the u. s. i cannot count on winning. of course the factors you mentioned that tie one being so close to the mainland. trump said this as well, but also they need to consider the rapid advances that the p l. a is made over the last 20 or 30 years since the last high one straits crisis. also strategically. i'll use a bruce lee quote here. so bruce lee said, i do not fear the man who knows 10000 kicks, but i do fear the man who has practiced one kick, 10000 times. and with

u. s. government who did not support her trip. well, we only pay attention to the end result. the congress is a part of a u. s. government and the congress is obliged to respect and follow the american foreign policy in adding country. there's only one foreign policy. so you can say that the executive branch has of one and the congress has another one. and we are dissatisfied with what has happened already, and we don't believe that the executive branch of the united states have done enough to stop her going, what is trying to trying to achieve in the world. so 1st of all, china is working for delivering a better life to his own people. you know, this is saw at the center piece of the mission of the coming to the party of china and the government of china. so what we are doing is to, you know, make our self a stronger and prosperous so that we can satisfy all our people's desire for a better life. and at the same time, you know, china can have many more to deliver for work, peace, security, and common development. and china is a force for peace and stability. but regrettably, m

this is not the 1st time that the u. s. is going against a chinese sovereignty andy just mentioned before in hong kong. the attempt of color revolution in hong kong was full sponsored back by the u. s. addition to that, they were financing e t i n, the separatist away goes in seen john, and a lot of them are actually terrorists are dying. lemme has been financed by this. he, i assume the 1950s. so you see, this is not the 1st time that the u. s. is meddling into chinese sovereignty. i like what just are andy just mentioned before about hong kong. you see what happened in hong kong is that china as she used to set back to journey to a novel treaty because of the riots they had in hong kong, the enacted and national security low, which by the way was sign a petition was signed by 2300000 people. so a very large majority of people, they sign they, they backed b gene for enacting the special security law. and this became actually a 2nd handover, or actually maybe the when a hand over of hong kong to china because there were lot

i mean, they're hoping that china does not respond aggressively and doesn't deploy aircraft carriers among waters and that the u. s. will not escalated because we don't want to be caught in between the giants as much as possible, including for yesterday are like the philippines. or do you think that there is a risk or in the, in the next few weeks appears to be doing might become more assertive when it comes to the total disputes with southeastern conditions such as the philippines, indonesia and so on and so forth. well, if you look at a technical, textual analysis that words that prison a teaching thing has used, or the statement that have come from chinese arts, you know, state owned our newspapers. they don't indicate the kind of aggressive response or military action we saw from china less compared 219951996. the last time we had a huge crisis committee, their crisis in the taiwan strait. at the same time, we know that presidency g b also is facing economic slowdown at home. he will have and political transition later this year. so i think the timing militates against a much more militaristic response, but it

not in leadership have been going. so as long as the definition of one china policy means that the u. s. does not recognize taiwanese independence and does not recognize taiwan diplomatically. that is really the definition of a one china policy. and so unless that river is crossed, there really isn't a departure in substance from previously stated american policy. and that's certainly something we have heard from a number of guys saying that it's largely symbolic. more than anything else. don jordan, political analyst, a pleasure to have you with us today. thank you for your time. my pleasure. both. i'm at the turmoil china has imposed sanctions. against to taiwanese funds, which aging accuses of supporting separatism and a smear campaign against beijing. meanwhile, the ramifications of policies visit to have already been felt in local financial markets. she's fell in semiconductor manufacturers in tie one, which is home to some of the largest such companies in the world. overall, taiwanese stocks dropped about 2 percent, which is the biggest fall in 3 weeks. the controversial visit of th

said we do not support taiwan independence and we did as i said again yesterday that we expect cross street 10 differences to be resolved by peaceful means. coby went on to say that the b u. s. does not seek a crisis. it will not engage in what it called sabre rattling it was pointed out though that the u. s. does currently have 4 warships now stationed in the region, but koby seem to scoff at that. there is that ambiguity actually as to when whatever response is being found by aging using the military, using the pap, potentially the supplement of the island in some way. when that will begin, so that, that is something that's gonna be really interesting to watch in the coming out. of course, china had threatened a military response and i've been reports of chinese jets crossing the taiwan strait ahead of nancy pelosi is arrival. so if you go, pardon, is the international editor of taiwan class and says taiwan is exercising caution. this kind of activity, if it is china, just sending warplanes into what you call the air defense identification zone, the a d i z. so that's an airspace that taiwan monitors is quite predictable. china does said every time it feels like taiwan ha

she knows that china did not want her to go, and the u. s. continues to cross these red line again, even though it would act very aggressively if other countries cross their many red lines. this seems insane. shells are very important position in american politics. it is very hard for me to believe that she is there without the tacit support of the executive branch. and in fact, if she's not there with that support, she's actually violating the law. she's violating the logan act, which forbids people like her outside the executive branch, which holds the foreign policy power from engaging in their own foreign policy. you can't do that. there's laws against that, frankly, that my country's being run by mad people who seem to be willing to bring the world to the brink of possible nuclear war. and it's quite, quite scary. i think the u. s. views every country as an asset or tool or a vehicle toward something else you. ukraine is discovered this, right, the us really push them into this war, which is a bit out or in the program here on our team

u. s. how speaker quickly became the most tracked on the front radar website before it disappeared from the map. that's despite tie, one not being included in pillow, sees official trip itinerary, benjamin cio, professor at the paris school of technology and business. the leaves, the trip as to the increasing us pressure on china. c u. s. policy right now is playing with fire. the u. s. scenes to for years ago have been doing anything up to the point of really violating or clearly rejecting one trying to principle. for example, the u. s. has invited to taiwan to the democracy meet last year, which is chinese. i has the people, the one again, and that is a violation of the one time the principal, the u. s. seems to be you know, 4th in china to concede in trade use to and it's position of russia about century bush and so on. looks like the china has not conceded during the last few talks and the u. s. if not, we need 2 options, but to escalate the matter further. the big group of nations is becoming increasingly appealing to more member states with the president. now of a jerry in africa was largest gas exporter saying that

states is sabre rattling with china over a country that we claim in the united states is not a country. the u. s. does not recognize taiwan. the u. s. is repeatedly discouraged taiwan from declaring independence. the u. s. has never said that it would defend taiwan. it has never offered to support taiwan having a sea of the un. what the u. s. has the one china policy, the one to the policy is incompatible with saber rattling over taiwan with china. we've been speaking to political satirist and or 3rd, ted roll a ted as always, thank you for going to program and sharing your thoughts. thank you. the russian energy giant gauss problem say's its a waiting documents. but we'll classify a key gas turbine us officially on the sanction. now that will allow the equipment to be returned to the country from germany and reinstalled into the north stream one pipeline. das promise to supply an owner of this turbine is simply obliged to obtain documents that these product is not on the sanctions. and we must be sure that the british company, a subsidiary of seamans, will not remotely turn all this turbine. we

u. s. has not addressed that much. and obviously the u. s. is spending to on so many countries why know? because really, it is a gains and all of the interest of these countries, especially when they come to necessitate necessities. it is to be not up to this country to trade or not free with russia. just as the european countries are still buying billions of dollars worth of energy from most china and other countries have the rights to decide home to maintain normal trade relationships with, especially no less than one 3rd of the member states of the nation have supported dissension that gains of russia use, can i talk about the money part of this? the u. s. deputy secretary of the treasury has said that on cra, cannot retain its corresponding relationships with major global banks. if a cooperates with russia, i put a t. how long of these quote, major global banks been under america's control? well, looks like every the us dollar was considered the international currency of choice . but again, i think the sanctions in the long term are actual

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 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 division at the time pe, 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 24 drayer, professor 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 who yeah, when founder and president of th

not fulfill tomorrow. yeah, and i'm blanking has also claimed that the u. s. will not dictate africa's choices . however, he went on to accuse russia of exploiting the instability at africa. do you think that the u. s. will actually respect any foreign policy choices that these african countries make? you know, i gotta tell you, i spend a lot of time in the middle east in africa, and i don't think that the u. s. has ever respected the sovereignty of other nations. and when they talk about the stabilization, they can look no further than themselves. and the sad part about with the us says it's just a bunch of rhetoric and look, i'm, i'm an american and i'm proud to be an american, but the apparatus within the u. s. government has long been a d, stabilizing force and almost putting, you know, african, a place where they can't grow, they can't excel at the same rate, that other countries across the world are growing. and that has a lot more to do with their natural resources. and how they can get access to those resources. so no, i don't believe they respect the sovereignty of any decisions that the
