told them he doesn't care about taiwan and doesn't want to do anything on taiwan that would disrupt his ability to do a trade deal. once the trade deal gets done injanuary of 2020, he then tells his team, you guys can do anything you want on taiwan. so ignoring taiwan for three years is a problem and sends the wrong signals to beijing that you're willing to put us—china relations above the us—taiwan relationship, which was totally different than the obama administration. and i'm confident that the biden team won't ignore taiwan like the trump team did. now, when they finally did focus on taiwan in their last year in 2020, they made some very significant and important arms sales to taiwan. and i think that's good and important. if i may interrupt, the obama team, i think it was maybe before you joined the team, but obama had always refused to sell taiwan the f—16 fighter planes, for example, that the taiwanese wanted. so it is interesting to me that you now think it was right for trump to...to sell significant arms to taiwan. well, your understanding of the history is different

, one of the problems china has in saying that taiwan is a province of china, taiwan of course calls itself an independent country, although it is not recognised like that by most countries around the world, one of the problem is that china has is that having this one country two systems state in hong kong was the big selling point of handover two decades ago. yet, we have seen in recent years, china whittling away at that pretty significantly. therefore its credibility in saying we can do the same in taiwan, we can have one country, two systems, look what we've done in hong kong, it doesn't really wash globally. so, china can sabre rattle all at it wants, but the people taiwan will look at hong kong and say, right, trust your? it's not working so well there. janet, the interesting question that historically something similar happened in china, when the communist party to power, try to reassure businesses that everything we carry on, but things change quickly. is there a danger of this happening in hong kong, showcase for china? yeah, that's difficult for china. hong kong is this phe

our leaders have met with leaders of taiwan for years but we wouldn't do it in taiwan. we would do it in hotels in the u.s. and other countries. it is a charade we would go through because we wouldn't want to offend beijing. it was time to end that charade. i'm a little worried that president biden will return to it. >> you know the history has been that a foreign nation will always do something to disrupt a new presidency. is it going to be china or is it going to russia or is it going to be middle east? let's take on russia first. you're air force general of todd walters, chief of european command, saying russia can step up dough something, to spur a crisis overseas to deflect the internal crisis in russia over the political dissident alexinal von any. >> we know europe doesn't want to challenge russia. president biden is interested in close relationship with europe because he has other concerns. he wants to keep europe happy to get back no in the iran nuclear deal. i'm dubious we will be tough on russia under this administration. elizabeth: president biden ending u.s

yeah it was a lot of that was over taiwan and the fact that under the trump administration so you know we talk about deviating from the norms one thing the drum administration did was they deviated from past administrations by unilaterally dealing with taiwan and essentially selling military weapons especially military bombers to taiwan which is something that has not happened in the past other administrations have not done that china sees that as a direct provocation because as you know china believes that taiwan is part of its territory it belongs to it they do not see taiwan is a separate nation and so while china does not regard to i want to separate nation in the past the u.s. has had what they call the one china policy with the essentially doesn't differentiate between the 2 because the trumpet ministration did that the kind of the 1st response from this chinese foreign minister to our new secretary of state was you guys need to get back to the old policy when it comes to taiwan we have a serious problem with this and so china is already flexing in terms of that what remains to b

things are getting tense in the taiwan strait right now. the latest from jennifer griffin with the read from the pentagon. hey, jennifer. >> hi, neil. president biden just spoke at the state department about how he views the way ahead with china. >> we'll confront china's economic abuses, counter their coercive action to put back on human rights, intellectual property and global governance. we're ready to work with beijing when it's in america's interest to do so. >> earlier today, the navy's seventh fleet sent a guidance missile destroyer through the taiwan strait. it's the first transit this year and the first since president biden took office. it's bound to get beijing's attention shortly after the inauguration, china dispatched two large formations of war planes including bombers close to taiwan. taipei scrambled fighter jets. the last time u.s.-warships went through the strait was new year's eve. the u.s.s. roosevelt launched jets in a not so subtle message to china. u.s. warships transited the waterways 13 times last year. the most si

the other day, and i believe taiwan came up in the conversation. this is about china, beijing, but also about the supplier based out of taiwan. what is the delicacy here that the americans, san francisco based supplier, is involved with taiwan versus china and their espionage? marty: taiwan come as you know, tom, is a major supplier of computer chips, which are now in short supply. the relationship between china and taiwan and the united states at its core from a commercial standpoint is about the semi conductor industry and how supplies reach the rest of the world out of taiwan. it is a very delicate and major issue. francine: thank you so much, marty schenker, bloomberg editor-at-large with this important story. supermicro says these allegations are inaccurate, and it has not been accused of any wrongdoing. you can find that full story that came out minutes ago on the bloomberg terminal, and of course on our website. let's get straight to the bloomberg first word news with ritika gupta. ritika: house prosecutors have concluded that convicting don

if taiwan were to be occupied by the chinese military then it becomes almost impossible to decide our entire network. at that point. because at any time they could be invaded from taiwan if they're attacking these risks is going to take monumental efforts from the u.s. in asia in the years to come from investing in the navy to rallying allies in the region to stick together that process was already underway cheering the trumpet ministration with meetings of the quotes from the u.s. and india and australia seeking to look at china is rising so fast that the us would have to shift priorities in a big way to stand a chance of keeping up but it is i think normal world in which the united states can aspire to have a dominant position in europe a dominant position in the middle east and a dominant position in asia and that's basically where united states has really been accustomed to. talk of the list for a brief think is the race of middle east but the u.s. has put enormous resources it's a post $911.00 wars to strengthen us strategists from what was happening in china america got so mired

think about this, taiwan's halt the danger early from china because all danger in taiwan, most of it anyway comes from china so they are watching across taiwan straits to see what evil lurks on the mainland. they saw the wuhan virus coming. they closed their borders earlier than any country in the world. they realized human transmission. they tried to warn the world health organization about this danger. they were ignored. the world health organization did not read their emails and did not take their phone calls. again, this is playing politics with people's lives. if the world health organization have been controlled of the the health of the world they would listen to the information and sitting on china's doorstep and watching the pandemic materialize in real time. >> tucker: a so-called help organization allowing people to die for political reasons. it is hard to think of corruption deeper than that. why would we send the money? >> why, indeed? we are getting ready to repeat the same mistakes of the past by sending $200 million, $200 million for what for failing to protect the hea

cautiously handles matters related to taiwan and hong kong but he did not but he wants to reestablish dialogue and to better understand each other's political intentions and avoid misunderstandings and the misjudgments of the past so the overall message from shooting pain is the 2 countries should respect each other but as i said beijing has repeatedly called for these 2 world leaders in these 2 countries to mend relations and analysts are hoping this will be the 1st step in that process. u.k. researches say the corona virus mutation 1st found in kent could become the world's dominant strain the kent variant is already in more than 50 countries it was 1st detected last september in the southeast of england and since then has spread at an alarming rate across the u.k. forcing the government to introduce new lockdown measures last month when these comments about the can vary in time from one of the u.k.'s leading genetic scientists will talk to of course want to really challenge about that now what so we hearing about the long term impact of this is short term we know as we say quick lo

let me move to another when. >> i'm actually curious about talking about taiwan as well taiwan's case. >> we decided to give dr. howard another call to follow up. >> i want to see if you can comment how taiwan has done so far in terms of containing the virus. >> we've already talked about china. you know, when you look across all the different areas of china, they have actually all done quite a good job. with that, i would like to thank you very much to invite us to participate and good luck as you go forward with the battle in hong kong. >> tucker: that is the greatest tape ever. what a worm. if only we had reporters like that in our country. our reporters in hong kong, why are they willing to ask a question more than once? interesting. the author of "bully of asia: why china's dream is the new threat to world order" steven mosher joins us. thank you so much for coming on. so it does seem like the world health organization has never really established independence from chief patron in china. >> oh, absolutely not. and this is playing politics with people's lives, tucker. think about

were being discussed the persecution of the weaker state per pro-democracy movement in hong kong and taiwan sovereignty these are some of the set most sensitive topics in beijing's ice and having its citizens with no filter to interact with people outside of china and discuss about these issues and this is a big red flag in beijing's eyes and so they immediately act on it and closed off the. right i want to these conversations only are revealed so a lot of the exchanges for yvel in fact is that there are in fact chinese people with more liberal minded manners and thinking that they are going to in fact they are in support of the waiters i think pursuit of their like loved ones being detained and like they are also supporting hong kong people like pro-democracy pursuit and also they are supporting and not really opposed to taiwan's claim of its sovereignty so these are in fact a lot of the discussions opened up and allowed people to really even have some reconciliation in a way that because in real life maybe chinese people are often having to take the very opposite stance and perspective ag

taiwan has controlled the pandemic in taiwan, but securing access to vaccines, that is where taiwan has fallen down a little bit. for months now, we've been waiting for the government to provide really concrete details for whatever vaccine it has been able to get. it has been slower than many other countries in securing access to the vaccine. shery: samson ellis there. of course we are headed to the reopen of the chinese mainland market after the lunar new year holiday. let's turn to sophie in hong kong for what to watch. sophie: watching for a pop of the open for chinese markets. in hong kong it has been a good start to the year of the ox. a-shares are still cheap around 30%, even after narrowing from a high from last october. when it comes to stocks to watch, checking in on what is going on, keeping an eye on players like china mid metal. china may curb exports of rare earths. tencent nearing a $1 trillion line with market cap. it's the 6th biggest company in the world. sf holdings, morgan stanley raising their price target for the company by 36% on its growth potential. morgan stanle
