and when do they arrive in taiwan? yeah, so, so far the media and also the experts are expecting government officials are expecting this batch of the vaccine to start arriving maybe in early september. and there are also plans a rival of more after back seen from japan and also time went to border and also more mature. and i've seen that is based on our own order. so if we adding up to 10000000 with the a couple, little millions that are coming in between july and september, that should also increase the overall vaccination rate for time one to more than half of the population. by the time of the, the 10000000 batches the ride, and that is certainly going to help improve a lot of time want to keep ability of defending itself against the possible outbreak. that is going to happen in the future. and i want to also right now in the process of actually coming down in containing the current outbreak that we're seeing here. did every corresponding william young in type. thank you very much for that update. meanwhile, south k

what went wrong in taiwan? in your opinion? it's been very hard watching time long struggled to contain this very large opera like someone has done so well. photon independent, haven't had to count instruction as the public responses connections in the south break. it's been interesting to see how different ones response has been compared to museums in museums. when we have off breaks, we react very quick and they decisively to extinguish them straight away. and sometimes that means going straight into the short, sharp locked down town, on the other hand, has avoided using locked on a panoramic response. and that may have kept the break going a little longer than if needed. and a matter of what i find striking when we look at the numbers is that outbreak you mention in taiwan, in comparison to new zealand numbers, the spike is really sudden and tie one manages to bring those numbers back down, but not to the level of new zealand being enjoying the whole way through this pandemic, they've managed to keep the numbers down so low.

but that changed for taiwan. what happened at is one government's approach beta ah, broke into the show line, ben for jolen. today we'll be talking to the co author of the report assessing the outbreak responses of new zealand and tie one. it was recently hit by the alpha variant. it hit hard despite the government's expertise and dealing with outbreaks of other diseases like saws running in and out every day. 39 year old mister chan delivers 300 orders a week. the reason copied outbreak and tie one has brought him more orders, but he has to take more risks since nearly 85 percent of taiwan population isn't vaccinated. well this, i know i live with my 5 children, my wife and my mother. you asked me if i'm worried about them. of course i am. i have so many children and i worry that i might get them infected to lose johnny bravo. as a father o 5, he has no choice, but to go out and make money. so i hope the government can offer food delivery drivers, vaccines as soon as possible. we're in contact with so many peopl

and when do they arrive in taiwan? yeah, so, so far the media and also the experts are expecting government officials are expecting this batch of the vaccine to start arriving maybe in early september. and there are also plans a rival of more astrazeneca vaccines from japan and also kind of order. and also more maturing that is based on time, on order. so if we adding up to 10000000 with the a couple, little millions that are coming in between july and september, that should also increase the overall definition rate for time one to more than half of the population. by the time of the, the 10000000 batches the ride, and that is certainly going to help improve a lot of time want to keep ability of defending itself against the possible outbreak. that is going to happen in the future. and i want to also right now in the process of actually coming down in containing the current outbreak that we're seeing here did ever correspondent william young in piper. thank you very much for that update. meanwhile, south korea is report

people who live in taiwan, we would just step to need to step the reality that the tension between taiwan and china is just there and it's been going on for decades. so if you ask people on the sheet as one of the people on the sheet, how if they are worrying about chinese of nation, i would say most of them was saying no. however, if you look at the chinese activities are recently last month, china just send 28 aircraft closed to high one thing that the parish is definitely increasing, right. thank you so much for that. that when you lay in time. thank you. we're trying to has have a turbulent century under the communist deposit which started in 1921. the secret meeting of 53 people in shanghai. since then, it has been transformed into an instrument of national political control with 92000000 members the decades and the founding lead amounts. they don't, the people's republic was essentially close to the rest of the world. today, the ones impoverish nation is the world's 2nd biggest economy. but that transformation has come at a cost. to day tourists bowed supply this lake, but 100 years

one hand she sold china's conflict with taiwan. it's suppression of democracy movement in hong kong and human rights abuses against the weaker minority have drawn widespread international criticism. what i mean me despite mounting pressure, the poppy vows to stand firm to fulfill what is called the chinese dream of national rejuvenation. and it's a dream. in fact the president, she has himself articulated in the past. the board of it is a sense of self confidence and pride in being chinese and trusting the communist party with leading the nation. the same party that began life 100 years ago in secret, in a shank i house. today the party is self assured enough to demonstrate to foreign journalists how members are schooled in its political ideas. oh, it is back to class for these middle aged students, communist party officials from all over china, has been sent to this academy in shanghai for training. today's session is an overview of china's relations with other countries. focus on foreigners who have supported china's communist. t

some have been captured, some have actually escaped into the taiwan embassy, broke into the taiwan embassy, and have hauled themselves up there. now from what we understand, at this point, the individuals are reported to have used rifles and michelle today. and the police have also presented their colombian passports, these assailants, the thugs, who killed the president. we've caught them, we've captured them there in the hands of the police, as you can see, the 2 haitian americans were in fact, us citizens of haitian descent. now the us state department has not yet confirmed. they were indeed us citizens. however, one of them is reported was detained at the canadian embassy and haiti. and furthermore, apparently on his personal website describes himself the describes himself as an official diplomatic agent. it's also important to note that the individuals from columbia were not just random, people from colombia, but actually former members of the columbia military. and they put my initial information indicates that they are colombian citizens retired members of the national army. we have

other get out of jail free card i also don't think militarily we can dominate china near taiwan the way we use to or have that capability and therefore the scenario that would ensue is very complicated and therefore on the verge of that superpower potentially so i don't want to do anything to run the risk to run that type of scenario but with strategic ambiguity to be reconceptualized if it was a blockade with a cyberattack china has to know there is no going back to business as usual and we will respond is concerned it way and those economic punishments the chart presidency initiated or intensified would be small potatoes compared to the decoupling economically that has to happen if china was to attack with military force. some of that punishment strategy you could unwind if china word relent to end the blockade but we cannot be indifferent even if taiwan caused it. in that sense he is right the notion we might or might not respond militarily i'm not sure if we would respond to every scenario but in a broader powers since we would have to respond i think we surely would china shoul

when we talk about colombia, when we talk about taiwan, who are we talking about taiwan, is a country recognized by a few others in the world, but of course is always head the support of the us and us satellite states. so neo colonies as haiti as long function. so very telling that these mercenaries 26 out of 28, are colombian to our american, and then they go to seek refuge in the taiwanese embassy. so i think we have to highlight here is colombia now becoming not just an internal oppressor of the everyday colombian. people battling neo colonialism there. and 9 u. s. military bases on colombian soil. but it's columbia, now the largest exporter of violence in latin america. let's not forget rory last year. they tried to assassinate the democratically elected president of venezuela as well. so you don't think, for example, that it would be the leadership in columbia, the could be behind this assassination plot. you're saying the columbia is a good place if you need to, most in areas, go to columbia, pick him up and they can go and do a job for you. oh no, i think the links definitely a
