focusing on the policy, that makes you understand that it is not taiwan who provokes the tension in the trade. he has been assertive, trying to use pressure or military pressure to coerce taiwan. as a response, you can see the government is more and more willing to show its support to taiwan. in public. that is important. we have a lot of absence to show that. not only the current administration is very close to taiwan, it is more and more willing to show the kind of want to show in the previous years. the immediate effect of the new cell phone policy is that, it actually brings a very close u.s. taiwan partnership caller:.. i think this is exactly what taiwan is looking for. even i have to say it again. would like to ask two questions, the first one related to that question about you as china tensions. -- u.s. china tensions. taiwanesee impact on manufacturing in china. we are told that at least some of the manufacturing is being shipped to southeast asia. and he could quantify and contextualize that, being shipped up to southeast asia? new investments they made in southeast asia rather than china. my second question would be in

us that are caught up in this trade war. asian economies are intricately linked to china's fortunes through their highly connected supply chains, and what hurts beijing can also hurt countries further afield, like south korea, taiwane, from where our asia business correspondent karishma vaswani sent us this report. in the 50 years he has run this business, this man hasn't seen anything quite like this. he and his daughter, joyce, are trying to figure out how their family business can avoid becoming a potential casualty of the us—china trade war. they make speakers in this factory in singapore, and also have factories in vietnam and china. the worst case is you impose a 25% tariff... now they have found out that the equipment they make in their chinese factory is on the latest list of chinese goods the us is targeting. if these tariffs come into effect, their chinese—made speakers could be up to 25% more expensive for american customers. we are sandwiched. we have a little voice, like, our voices will drown out. hopefully it finds its way to somewhere, and this threat will cease, but we're not sure. anything can happen, so as a business we have to be prepared for the worst. the predictions are dire. singapore alone

war going on and becoming a full-blown trade war that taiwan could end up as being upon -- a pawn or a bargaining chip that the united states would usee worry about this aspect. but for decision-makers in taiwan, no one is worrying about this aspect. the trade conflict between washington, d.c., and beijing could have some spillover effect that could impact the rest of the world, and taiwan is no exception. but in our discussions with washington, d.c., we understand that washington, d.c.'s, support for taiwan continues to be strong, even in the area of economic relations. we will continue to discuss with united states how to strengthen the relations -- economic relations between taiwan and washington, d.c. i know washington, d.c., is looking at taiwan as a positive element in the economic relations. we procure lots of items, including agricultural items, from the united states. taiwan is also making significant amount of investment in the united states, creating jobs. these have been recognized by the decision-makers in washington, d.c. in short, taiwan is a positive element in the u.s. economy. i just don't worry that taiwan is going

, and it's our sincere hope that this amendment will send a direct message to taiwan's allies that the united states will use every tool to support taiwan standing on the international stage, and we will stand up together to china's bullying tactics around the world. thank you, mr. president, and i yield the floor. mr. mcconnell: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: mr. president, i move to executive session to consider calendar number 994. the presiding officer: the question is on the motion. all in favor say aye. all opposed say no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the motion is agreed to. the clerk will report the nomination. the clerk: nomination, department of health and human services, lynn a. johnson of colorado to be assistant secretary for family support. mr. mcconnell: i send a cloture motion to the desk. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: cloture motion. we, the undersigned senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the

taiwan there. the things you mentioned, potential hospital ship as a come high-level exchanges, to my knowledge of those are things that have led us to do under the taiwan relations act, under the good construct of the relationship. so we will take a look and see if the ndaa adds to that or merely supports it. but iraq any comment on future plans, what we might do. but i do regard congressional action to the ndaa as a strong statement of their interest and where their support life. on the more you use the term covert aspects of china's influence operations in asia and southeast asia, again, i think similarly tensioning to shine a light on what china does is the first step because i think when these things are exposed there's often a backlash. .. we are learning more and more about the situation in malaysia that it is much worse than people even expected and i think montero is planning to travel to china to talk about getting out from under some of this debt and maybe renegotiate. i think our position can be that they have leverage here too if they can expose some of these corrupt deals at how china uses these predatory practices t

it will have to see british correspondent josh smith speaking to us from seoul josh thank you very much. a fire at a hospital in taiwan has killed at least nine people another thirty are injured and investigation has been launched into the cause of the blaze the fire broke out on the seventh floor of the building which was used for hospice care. it was a ward for critically ill patients many were bedridden they could move when the blaze broke out hospital staff tried to remove them but for some help came too late . hospital officials say the victims included not just patients but also nurses and caregivers. first responders raced against the clock to save those injured in the blaze nearly twenty remain in critical condition. the fire started early in the morning on the seventh floor of a public hospital in the taiwanese capital firefighters were able to contain and extinguish the place within an hour but its effects were still devastating. still sassoon fourteen victims were experiencing cardiac arrest. and four are awake the other hospitals are now giving emergency treatment to those experiencing heart attacks. it's

learned in terms of when there's limiting space, and what was interesting to hear about taiwan and berlin, they started using sidewalk because there's only so much space on the road way. if we have to lose the parking revenue for public safety, that's the tradeoff that we will have to understand and make, and that's something that the port should come back and respond to us, because some of it was our parking space, not just all the city ka's parking space. i think that -- i think the other is whether we can -- also, i never heard anything about smart traffic lights. you know, sometimes you sit a a light and there's no traffic. seems we should be figuring out how to have smart traffic lights and maybe more video cameras to capture -- and if people know that there's cameras on the streets, you watch some of the television channels, cctv is there, it did he pers people's behavior. it changes people's behavior, so i think that's something also to take a look at. i guess lastly, i want to say while this is really about public safety, overall, it's not this unrelated to traffic congestion. and the area that i alw

any attack on taiwan will be to the use of nuclear weapons against targets in china. he said as clear as it could have been set in public. it had an effect already. it could be the chinese on both of those occasions to halt from further provocations. but it's a sign of how dangerous the cold war was in asia in the 1950s and also a sign of how a different president could act quite differently. unlike the case in indochina, the congress backed the president. they passed a resolution to so you better take on china. go ahead. not so with indochina. that's a great question that the china taiwan case is terribly brought in explosive in this. it eisenhower hinted above, but it was a high-stakes game. >> last question. a hand right here in the back in the middle of this road. great bear, yes. >> sarah snyder from american university. thanks for a great talk. sounds like a really amazing book. i have two questions. attacked at the beginning about eisenhower's restraint in the question-and-answer you've given a lot of examples of the ways in which he was restrained in terms of

at less than a fair value, and i will just use ball bearings as an example, say they are coming in from taiwan and being sold essentially less the cost of production in the united states, the industry might want to consider putting together a trade case. and it will be -- it will have a good chance of succeeding if the following is also true, and that is that the sales of that cause material injury to the united states. that can be measured in terms of loss of market share, loss of profits, layoffs, and other types of criteria. then the u.s. will impose anti-dumping duties. for the subsidies, again, if foreign exports to the u.s. are subsidized, and we can establish that, and if those exports from another country are causing injury to the domestic industry, then the united states can impose these types of countervailing duties. often times they are combined into one case, and you will have both antidumping duties and countervailing duties that are administered at the same time. how does this work? the commerce department investigates whether or not dumping or subsidies have occurred. and they

united airlines be forced to change how they describe taiwan on their website or they would not be allowed to continue to fly to china. the tactic they use over and over again is not sweeping changes. it's typically slow but incremental, yet mortgage assertive demands -- yet more assertive demands. these new demands end up sustaining a new normal. it is very much like the example of the frog in the boiling pot of water. you throw the frog in the boiling pot of water. it jumps out right away. if you put it in a cold pot of water and slowly boil it, it will boil to death and not even know it is boiling and that is what china is doing to the united states and to the world. and the only thing that they respond to -- there are only two things that china responds to when you confront them to this. the first is a committed and sustained escalation across the entire relationship between us and them. and the other is invoking the help of our foreign partners. that's why i strongly believe that the u.s. should have worked with the european union and canada and mexico and japan to confront china, not to start a trade war with them as well. and i'm

i'm not sure one sector or one group gives us anything other than one sector and ongroup and if we look at the semi, and it is fantastic and taiwani seems to be improving and the sky works is weaker so it's a very bifurcated group to focus on the -- on a relative base e the etf attracts the stocks and it looks like the sky works chart and it looks like he's rolling over and he's down 16% we're picking up amd and that stock is up 100% and i don't see a whole heck of a lot of leadership other than nvidia. >> obviously, intel, the largest weight in that group, and so i think when we talk about a group like system is or discretionary or tech, we need to think about these thing equally weighted semis are a lot stronger that's true for a lot of groups right now. there's a story out there that market has narrowed and they reject that story and when you look at these groups they're a lot better than the pathway and the charge might suggest. >> so a 10% correction on the markets -- and i don't want to put you in a position where mike said this, what do you think, chris? you are the technician so people want to know, do the charts show any

use ball bearings as an example. say a ball bearings are coming in from taiwan that are being sold at essentially less than the cost of production. the ball bearing industry might consider putting together a case. it will have a good chance of succeeding if the following is also true. sales cause the material injury to the united states. that can be measured in terms of loss of market share, profits, layoffs, and other types of criteria. then, the u.s. will impose anti-dumping duties. , again, ifsidies foreign exports to the u.s. are subsidized, and we can establish exports are those causing injury to the domestic industry, then the united states can impose these types of countervailing duties. often times, they are combined into one case. anti-dumping both duties and countervailing duties administered at the same time. so how does this work? the commerce department investigates whether or not the dumping or subsidies have occurred. and they do this by surveying the domestic industry, the ford producers, gathering all of that data together and making the best available assessment. it is not subjective. it is based on

us that is affected. asian economies are intricately linked to china's fortunes. many made in china products have components from other countries, and so what hurts beijing hurts countries further afield like south korea, taiwanapore. our asia business correspondent has the full details. in the 50 years he has run this business, this man hasn't seen anything quite like this. he and his daughter, joyce, are trying to figure out how their family business can avoid becoming a potential casualty of the us china trade war. they make speakers in this factory in singapore, and also have factories in vietnam and china. the worst case is you impose a 25% tariff... now they have found out that the equipment they make on their chinese factory is on the latest list of chinese goods the us is targeting. if these tariffs come into effect, their chinese made speakers could be up to 25% more expensive for american customers. we are sandwiched. we have a little voice, our voices were probably drowned out. hopefully it finds its way to somewhere, and this threat will cease, but we're not sure. anything can happen so as a business we have to be prepared for the worst. the predictions are dire. singapore alone could see up to a

us citizens can sponsor relatives for permanent residency. that's also something that president trump has criticised, as a pathway for terrorists to enter the country. taiwan'sected a proposal by china to build an undersea railway tunnel connecting the two sides. the proposal has been floated for years and chinese scientists are now reportedly close to reaching a consensus on the design. the proposed tunnel would link pingtan county in china's fujian province with hsinchu city, taiwan, stretching a total of approximately 135 kilometres, or 68 nautical miles. this would make it the world's longest undersea railway tunnel and 3.5 times longer than channel tunnel. it would cost a huge $80 billion with a desired completion date of 2030. 0ur correspondent cindy sui is in taipei with more. not only would it be the world's longest undersea railway tunnel, it would also be one of the most challenging civil engineering projects ever undertaken in the 21st century. if china is to go ahead and build it. the reason it is hard is because what the engineers would have to do is to go under water for about 200 metres under the taiwan strait, the water separating the two sid

so they've got a lot of leverage, if they get upset at us on this trade war, china does, and over this taiwano the united states, they can put some real, real negative spin into our policy with north korea. so i hope these tensions cool and we get into serious negotiations >> governor, you mentioned that it seems china has leverage on that front in terms of negotiations with north korea and there's also a way that we have to engage with the chinese authorities that's sort of sensitive and the chinese won't take that well but what about their trade leveraged economy and their pain threshold isn't infinite on our trade actions, so maybe there's just one sided leverage in some of these disputes? >> look, you're right. my concern is in the strategic area i think the trade issues both countries can survive them all dhoethough i worry what's happening to our agricultural sector, and i think the agricultural community doesn't go down that much, that's not an affect on the agricultural community. but my concern is that china will retaliate on these strategically important things to us. that is my big
