the u. s. has a military presence in taiwan. tensions between beijing and taiwan around the rise . china is a full sent a rec, hold number of war planes into the islands a defense zone. last month. china is the use largest trading partner. taiwan economy remains heavily dependent on china. and taiwan is one of the world's biggest technology producers. for example, it supplies many components for the latest smart phones the. let's bring our guests into the show. we have joining us from type brian hugh writer and founder of new blue magazine in boston in south korea, robert kelly, professor of political science and diplomacy at present national university. and in beijing, victor gout chair, professor at su chow university. welcome to all, i could stop, pass this time with victor. what message is being sent? do you think to china by the congressional visit to taiwan? well, 1st of all, this congressional visit to the, or to taiwan a by the u. s. members of congress is a serious violation of the one

i mean, is the u. s. going to be able to say ok, so here come the tariffs, here comes the punishment. there really is not a whole lot you can do right now if we talk about economies, obviously everything in that, that chinese u. s. trade deal was pre pandemic. it was pre cove, it so all of the, you know, purchase from us this amount. we need better deals in terms of, of products moving back more than the tariffs, the by the administration doesn't seem to like the tariffs as much, but can they really afford to do that? the u. s. economies hurting an awful lot right now. and so if you were to put tariffs on china who's going to absorb the cost of that u. s. consumers are, they're the ones who are going to pay the price for it. so there's not a whole lot you can do right now. and that's why i mentioned the caring of the stick. at this point you got to pull out a lot more carrots than you do sticks and not to a to mention if, if we look at the supply chain constraints that we are seeing worldwide with ports b

as report say the u. s. is planning to add at least 8 chinese firms to the commerce department investment blacklist. so joining us now to discuss all the latest to host with the i am, professor richard will host of the economic update. christy, let's start with you here. what do you make of the latest economic data from china? i mean, is this just a temporary slow down, or is there more cause for concern here? well, yes, it is quite concerning china. economic slowdown this quarter has mainly been dragged down by worsening poverty markets. lumps caused by ever been prices. and china is timing up their financing. so stricter rules to discard speculation and using homes as investment vehicles, china, home sales plunge. and as we mentioned before, the real estate market has made up nearly a 3rd of china, g d, p growth. so you touched on a bit earlier in the us now the chinese government is now prioritizing debility. so that's usually the period that come after growth growth in all of its classes and sectors. chi

s. b, s or u. s. d c coin or even makers. dow, that's actually controlled by the coalition and the creators who actually issue it versus this one, the us dollar that's issued by the fed. obviously that will be controlled by the fed and that's what they want because that's literally the only difference they don't like sharing their power. they don't like another organization having the authority to issue something like a monetary instrument. so this, this point of the bill is actually quite disturbing because it states that the federal reserve will have be explicit authority to issue the digital version of the us dollar. and on the other hand, the u. s. country will actually have the authority to permit or prohibit us dollar and other fee ought to be stable court currency. so that's very disturbing to me because at the end of the day, a stable klein is essentially just another derivative like any other derivative in the market. giving the government authority to allow or disallow a stable coin. i mean

stay with a one, a tease and u. s. as a merge, we don't have with vaccine whole world leaves to be ready. people are just, you know, come in, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is going to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together with this picture tells a 1000 words and 1000 absence the kaiser where are contained this is the rosetta stone of me and kaiser report understanding this me when stacy wearing a crown, i don't know if you've seen it close enough or not, but that stacy wearing a crown in front of a burning building. this is the key name of all means. this is the construct. think all you need to know about our modern life in this me and it states has to be rash, to be able to afford enzyme, and find the luxury that for sure. despite having the most expensive health care system in the world, we have tor, life expecta

and what the u. s . has described is tried, is increasing aggression over that disputed territory as well as china is activity increasing activity in the taiwan straits now trying to seize taiwan as part of china. but at the same time, we've seen the biden administration making various very friendly, moved towards the taiwanese leader sighing when and that has really infuriated beijing. i think the bottom line is, china does want to find some common ground amid these see of differences. and 2 things to note, i think is that's a job. but, and she jumping, have known each other for years now. they were working together as far back as the obama administration. and secondly, she didn't ping is domestically an extremely strong position. just last week we had this top level leaders meeting in beijing where she's in pain, consolidated his power as the president of china next year. he will begin this unprecedented 3rd term in office and he could potentially rule china for life. so no doubt that will play a pot a

ah, the b u. s. senate to prove the quarter. the trillion dollars in texas spending investment bill aims to help the americans feel back some dominance from china and compete with aging technological ambition. meanwhile, china react angrily to us funds to begin trade talks with taiwan beijing, see if the island as its own territory. and as one of the americans to step away and staying with china this time the ceramic kind will look at the european table, where may kids who are trying to compete with asian impulse. this is the to be a business. i'm robot in bell and welcome to the program. the us senate will invest $250000000000.00 in tech research and development in an effort to boost america's competitiveness with china. rab bipartisan vote congress approved the investment bill. it's center is a $50000000000.00 investment in semi conduct development and manufacturing. the u. s. to see its global market share in chip industries in the chip in this big window . so make it 12 offense. also in the investment package is over $500000

the u. s. u. k and australia reportedly agreed to form a new defense alliance on the sidelines of this year's g. 7 summit in england. washington and london will help it by a fleet of nuclear powered submarines. the main reason for the alliance containing china we spoke in detail about china as the stabilizing activities in beijing efforts to course and intimidate other countries. contrary to establish rules and norms, we will remain clear eyed in our view, a beijing's efforts to undermine the established international order. we discussed the competition of china at a number of levels that requires us to respond and to increase resilience. this does not mean that there are not constructive areas for engagement with china straight. it continues to sake dialogue with china without pre conditions. not surprisingly, beijing condemned both the alliance and the submarine deals may war. war. we are the only archive her 10 to the export of highly sensitive nuclear power. sibling technology by the united st

s. and u. k. the deal between the u. k. u. s. in austria is widely seen as an effort to count of china's influence in the region. recalling ambassadors in the carefully coded language of diplomatic relations is, is a pretty serious move. it's not the breaking off of diplomatic relations, but it's what you do, what you want to show to a country that you really are not happy with the way it's behave. and let's not forget that france is the united states oldest allies, allies, a relationship that goes back to 1778. when france recognized the independence of these breakaway colonial states. and help them in that war of independence against the british b, u. s. military, as i mentioned, a drone strike and i've kinda sounds capital last month, kill civilians of not isolate sciences. 10 people including 7 children, died in the attack. in cobble top us commander has apologized guineas. military leaders say that they will not bow to international pressure to let detained president of a condo fly into exile. the west african regional block

and this is the last line separating taliban fighters from the u. s. and foreign forces to my left to the taliban fighter from butter 313 task force, which is assigned to secured the airports parameters. behind me are the us forces. yes. this bar wire is separating the us forces deployed inside the airport and taliban fighters. the us troops are currently organizing the evacuation of the withdrawing forces. in addition, there are also sorting out the afghan citizens holding visa to foreign countries, or those who are working with the us forces over the past years. and over there, at the top of the screen, you can see afghan citizens standing in a single file. they were brought in here a while ago and shuttle buses in a pre coordinated process, closer to us or the u. s. and foreign troops who are overseeing the process that building is the main departure terminal of the airport through which the foreign forces and eligible f kenny evacuees are expected to leave. over the past hour, we have heard a plane taking off roughly every 15 minutes. those planes

now, and this was consistent with the u. s. u k. history of your asia, which has been brought to divide by the major powers. so the news coming out from china and russian, but even iran to smaller extent is the failure of the us and they don't condition in the sun while it's create challenges. it also opens up. so for today's military, you're ation solutions. something that russia would support as well. this would include most of the neighbors come from russia, china, iran, central asia, live in india, and the world integration of this great 3 ration region, which is a key project for the chinese russians to be complete without. and it's coming down through economic coming to the and we are here in a chinese is interested in to push this trillion dollar bump enrolled initiative. i've got to start something investments talking about. and i was obviously would welcome. and there's also other years for corporation, i would also just the shanghai corporation organization, which is now forming us the main organization to organize the rac

now part of the u. s. policy will be about strengthening ties with countries in the region, so the u. s. can be seen as a counterweight to china's growing influence. now, how is china viewing this visit? while china's official sin one news agency portrayed at harris's visit as a drive to contain china. and it also describes a us approach as outdated cold war thinking intended to create division and confrontation. now one of the things that harris will have to contend with during her visit is answering questions about of gonna start collapse and answering questions about us as credibility and commitment and keeping its foreign policy promises. china says it's closely following developments enough kind of stan. it's foreign ministry says most chinese nationals have safely returned home. the government says it's prepared to work with a tale. bon katrina, you has more from beijing. china has been maintaining close communication with the taliban in the lead up to its takeover of afghanistan. china is really con

and so now you have this in the u. s. and then now we're dealing with europe with companies like volkswagen continent tal siemens. all of them have recently come out with state, they've come out with statements saying that it's not about the supply chain. they're, they're trying to sort of keep out of the issue. so it's, it's, it's clearly going to be a major factor for european companies. so pressure from european companies and u. s. companies, it's china starting to look else where it's focused on trade. well, a lot of this, i think china still really wants the technology that european companies can offer, particularly on the, on the industry side, on, on the u. s side is much more of the tech side, you know, there's another, there's another debate we could have about how you're being companies. i haven't just are not at the races when it comes to tech. but and yeah, i think, i think there they still need this tech so, and they also, but another thing we should keep in mind is that they have rules as well. that companie

in particular for the u. s. those north eastern states saw the arrival of tropical storm on re, as it made land for in rhode island. but we've also seen historic flooding in tennis. see, this was the scene there, the rain has stopped, but we saw some record rain fall to the west of nashville. in humphreys county, we had $430.00 millimeters for in 24 hours. and that led to very severe flooding. now it's keeping dry for much of tuesday, they're the wet weather can be found in the florida. panhandle and northeastern states of the u. s. are continuing to see the heavy falls on from on re, as it works its way from most massachusetts out to see it could impact eastern areas of canada. now we are also seeing severe storms roll across the midwest. by the time we get into wednesday, it will be the great lakes that see some of the wet weather. now was he looked to the west, it is looking a lot dryer. we have got some strong winds that fueling wild fires in northern california. it's looking dryer in the south for the wet w

the u. s. doesn't recognize it's on a bond government at least 15 people have been injured after a bomb was set off and assume the mosque enough kind of samsung ha province. in a space of similar attacks on a, she almost almost all of been claims like ice well enough kind of 9200 nations are considering a draft agreement on the final day of the un climate. some it's in glasgow. the core aim is to keep the parents agreement to live the camp global warming at 1.5 degrees. volunteers in the house and demanding more access to the border with valerie for refugees and migrants are trapped about 2000 people. living in dia, freezing conditions as governments trade, accusations, and threats about the crisis. that is to be submitted to us to what's available for those since mid october. we've been approached by over 3000 people that being trapped since the beginning of november. we've been asked by at least 900 people of undertaken 131 humanitarian intervention to help those stranded polish government ne

and the u. s. has promised economic investment and help in the fight against coven 19 pandemic, and climate change. but can compete with china, which wells huge influence across africa. the united states wants to strengthen our partnerships across africa in ways that serve your interests, our interests, and the interests of people worldwide, whose lives and future's dependent part on what we can achieve together. united states knows that on most of the urgent challenges and opportunities we face, africa will make the difference. we can't achieve our goals around the world. whether that's ending the coven, 19 pandemic. building a strong, inclusive global economy, combating the climate crisis, or revitalizing democracy in defending human rights without the leadership of african governments, institutions, and citizens. ah, let's bring in our gas in i roby mart sharia montane, a research associate fellow of the whole international institute for strategic studies. in washington, d. c. william lawrence,

u. s. after dozens of tornadoes tear through sick states and international observers. sound the alarm about the record levels of violence against women in kyrgyzstan around the world, countries are seen call that 19 infections and deaths. wising again to record numbers governments. we're also trying to tackle the new omicron variance. but delta remains dominant in most places. for now, let's take a look at some of the latest news lines coming in. this are, so korea has had its worst day of the pandemic recording. 94 deaths on tuesday. the career disease control and prevention agencies set a record 906 people were also in a serious or critical condition. the medical system is reaching its limits with the delta driven spread, leaving some people dying while waiting for a hospital beds petitions in the u. k of questioning sciences about the owner, con variance of coven. 19 i minister at boris johnson announced towards believe to be the world's 1st confirmed death over patience with the new var

a game of fat and mouse in the u. s. over corona, virus research findings and public funds, quite literally a top national institutes of health official has admitted us taxpayer money finance testing mice in china with back corona, virus genetically altered to make it more transmissible to humans. now the danger, as such, research has always been that the virus could escape the lab and spark a public health disaster. limited experiment described in the final progress report was testing if spike proteins from naturally occurring. but corona viruses circulating in china were capable of binding to the human ac 2 receptor in a mouse model. laboratory mice infected with a s h c 014, w i v one bat corona virus became sicker than those infected with the w i. v one bat corona virus. eco hell fell to report this find in rice away as was required by the terms of the grant. and yet for months the biden administration's big cheese on the disease. doctor anthony found, she denied any claims that the u. s. funded such projects, it com

even as the u. s. influence wayne's? yeah, i think by agreeing to this trade a deal, i think it's a mess. those outside the tent, namely the u. s. that east asia and south east asia are willing to move on trade with or without the support of the u. s. and i think it's very important for you to reflect upon itself and figure out what its policy is going for on economics and on trade. more generally speaking, jan, how is this our step deal different from the trans pacific partnership deal or t p. p. as it's knowing which involved the u. s. in which they tried to get off the ground, but then they pulled out of right. so i think that's a good starting point. the t p p is no longer what it was. it's now the c p t, v p, which is se significantly watered down version of what the u. s. had initially proposed now after it pulled out. and so, but still, even in this watered down form, it is a much more ambitious agreement than that. we have with us the, the membership of asset is so diverse. you have very rich countries like singa

so that's how things are playing up, particularly of a shin jang, between the u. s. and china. but what about europe? and china, well, it's interesting, rob, i mean, a lot of things seem to be coming together right now. i mean, a lot of different factors that have been going on actually for years. i mean, we've known about a lot of these issues for a long time, and these companies have known about these issues for a long time. and when you think about how it works with the factory or with it, with a company like say, intel, you know, they've got 6, maybe 6 more. who knows how many levels of supply chain going on am. and clearly they have made preparations for the fact that this, this legislation is coming, coming in. and so now you have this in the us and then now we're dealing with europe with companies like volkswagen continent tal siemens. all of them have recently come out with state, they've come out with statements saying that it's not about the supply chain. they're, they're trying to sort of keep out of the issue. so it's, it's, it's clearly going to be a major factor f

so inflation in the u. s. isn't going to be contained to just the u. s. and as you mentioned earlier in the reporting, our supply chains are worldwide, especially for things like semiconductors, which cross water several hundreds of times before even landing as a final product out it's final destination. so in this very globalized world, inflation in one area will affect other countries and supply chain disruptions and inflation on commodities. that's going to affect things worldwide. and that's going to be everything from consumer goods and household stables all the way up through high tech. and even if, even if the fed manages to rate and inflation in the u. s, which is a very big if, because he hasn't even given any specifics on how he plans to tackle inflation. considering that, according to him, it's no big deal. then you also have to worry about inflation and other countries such as china, where the u. s. has actually exported a lot of their inflation onto in china because essentially the u. s. has the buying goods from china for the good part of th

we recognize that the, the, the u. s. economy essentially, to some point need this influx of cheap labor who are willing to work for below minimum wage and minimum wages in poor conditions. and this is to some extent necessary in the, in the structure of the u. s. economy. so this creates a sharp contradiction which really explains the difference in price we've seen between the trump administration and the current died and administration necessarily feels as an elusive solution somewhere but and having those wherever it is. ok, pull dobson from venezuela analysis dot com. thank you. next moscow's warned berlin and its nato allies not attempts fate by deploying military hardware, including nuclear weapons, close to russia, borders. against the backdrop of calls to contain russia, nato was amassing his forces along russia's borders. the german defense minister should know very well what consequences such moves have led to the past, both for germany and europe. stone remark came shortly after germany's defense minister, call

if the tele bandu takeover are you, the u. s. has said that for those who want to be evacuated, essentially they need to come to cobble in order to do that. do you know anybody who wants to be evacuated but is unable to get to cobble? because as i understand it, it's quite dangerous trying to travel. and especially if you already have the added threat of being known as somebody who had worked with us or other foreign forces, sir. and has a, we are in a one group of the applicants and facebook. and mostly i followed the that page and i, and i'm the witness. and i see that there are some of the guns, like they are living in the me and law got and moslin benjamin places. and they are all complaining that. okay. imagine that we got, we get our visa in few months or few weeks how we would be able to live displays and how we can travel. because you know, every day become by the car, they would be stopped by the chick once and deal with the 100 down. so the way is not secure tall and did not confident about the issue. so i saw that ther

think and stressed that the u. s. is not trying to make countries choose between the us and china and for many countries in the region. there is a balancing act involved. china is a very important trade partner. but many of also traditionally looked to the us to provide security in the region. some analysts say that for the us to deepen its ties in the region, it has to have been effective economic strategy. and bring can seem to acknowledge this in his speech, things the us will identify opportunities for us companies to operate here. as well as for more foreign direct investment to flow into the region. in south korea has had his worst day of the pandemic recording. 94 deaths on tuesday. the korea, disease control and prevention agencies at a record 906 people were also in a serious or critical condition. a medical system is reaching its limits with the filter driven spread, leaving some people dying on waiting for hospital beds. the 1st case of omicron has been the taxes in mainland china, authorities in the city o

s. u. s. treasury threatens american journalists with hefty fines, if they work for certain publications. one often daniela's ash has his story with us treasury was powers. it was enormous. that of an individual freelance journalist that was microscopic that some of them are so frightened, they're unwilling even to give interviews like this one. and the number of countries registering the new. i'm a chrome strain of cove, it's more than doubles to 57 since last week. the w h o talk to, i'll tell you about the frets it poses. i'm really hopeful that 1st of all, the actors back.

and the u. s. is trying to maintain its position, so they, that imaginary part is all about what the u. s. perceives which china does not agree with. okay, well, i can understand you. i live in russia. i know what it feels like, sarah, let me go to you and knoxville that the problem is here is that china is rising or returning depending on how you want to look at it. and it's the very fact that it is rising is a threat or a challenge to american hegemony. and that's why i said in my introduction, it's time to start negotiating. this is a reality, chinese market is suddenly stopped developing and it's certainly, and it has no reason to listen to what the united states says, particularly when it comes to its internal affairs. so, i mean, this is the quandary we all have. china is rising and the very fact that it is rising is from watch it in perspective, a threat to it's a gemini, why the u. s. should be hedge a monic? well, that's a different question. go ahead sir. yeah, you know, china is rising a

it's something that the u. s. can possibly even remotely when, if they can't even beat the taliban, chance of confrontation and extremely high. as you mentioned in afghanistan, we left point $80000000000.00 and equipment, the entire russian military budgets. 50000000000. so it's, you know, this was we were literally chased out of the, or the country by the taliban after spending $2.00 trillion dollars. that, that's an extraordinary success. if people think we can defend taiwan, they're, they're, they're lunatic. so china has so many land base cruise missiles that can go through the 1st island chain all the way down to guam. that's taiwan is in the 1st island chain. she jin ping has said before 2025. taiwan will be reunited. so i think taiwan is on the clock. well, how that's going to affect us is 40 percent of the world's semiconductor. still come out of taiwan. when china has control of that, we're going to have to big for chips. we won't be able to make f 150. we won't be able to, to do anything here without chi

s. investment or the u. s. business community has sort of pushed back on on hawkish voices in washington, dc. and the think tanks, you know, again, those want to take a harder line on china. now you have business minute is actually softened a lot and it's not nearly as bullets in china is. or there been a lot of issues with piracy and intellectual property and things like that in china . so i don't think that you are a business community sort of deterring the hawks anymore and increasing in the hawks in the us are dominating the conversation. you saw that another book by then trunk, right. there is increasingly a bipartisan sort of agreement that the china is what a strategic competitor. i suppose. i don't want to st. enemy. i don't think we're there yet. but a strategic competitor. i think most americans would agree with that is the view from ty pay. brian, why do you think west and interest has increased in taiwan lately? we've had not only this visit from and of congress, but we also recently had visits from

we will not allow an extension beyond august 31st, so the u. s. should remove and evacuate all personnel by the deadline. all their contractors must leave. we are not happy to extend the deadline, and after that we will have a separate stance on position following the deadline. this lumnick amber is trying to encourage people to go home, but the americans are inviting people to the airport. their adverse policy is continuing to board people on plains. the airport access route has been close to avoid stampede us president joe biden has joined the emergency virtual meeting of g 7 nations. he's expected to speak on i've gotten the stan evacuations in a few minutes. the g 7 lead is cold on the top of on to guarantee safe passage out of afghanistan. once the withdraw deadline passes. the number one condition was sitting as g 7 is that they've got to guarantee right the way through. through august the 31st and beyond a safe passage safe passage for those who who want to come out and someone will say that they don't accept that and some of them i hope i

u. s. secretary of state and agree to speed up the formation of a new government. earlier he ordered the release of for civilian cabinet ministers detained and last month's military takeover. thousands have been protesting and cartoon calling for democratic transition. since this military takeover, we have made very clear that we stand with the people of sudan, the people of sudan who themselves have stood in the streets have taken to the streets peacefully are to make very clear that their aspirations for democracy. i remain, i and they remain strong. i we join are the sudanese people and calling for justice and accountability at for i the abuses of human rights. and we urge the military to in the internet shut down in the state of emergency. the un security council would meet on friday to discuss the fighting in ethiopia. international calls are growing for an immediate cease fire. the u. s. special envoy for the region is an ad is about to push for di escalation, non essential staff from

the thing is that the u. s. by shipping all of its manufacturing jobs in factories to china, starting 3035 years ago, was happily becoming a vassal of china. so the u. s. is not really a good example of anything anymore. so the fact that the u. s. would be mimicking this, the platform that we see in communist china should be now surprised because we gave up our liberties so to speak long ago. so it's unfortunate, but as you point out there, the, the reason why they're doing this again is jealousy. there's a celebrity, they're getting more hits on social media. so the government deletes them. it's very petty. there is no economic reason for it. it's a matter of fact that will destroy their economy and it's repetition of history. we've seen this for thousands of years with china. it's very silly. my point is that the u. s. as mimicking them are at least are mimicking. they're one of the explanations for what's going on there is like for example of the celebrity, the children of the celebrities are banned now from

b, u. s. has finally ended its fight against the russia to germany gas pipeline wall street to with the construction nearly finished, washington managed to chow, a compromise with germany. meanwhile, russian president putin, on german chancellor markelle, expressed mutual satisfaction at the project approaching completion. leaders are satisfied that the construction of the north term to pipeline is nearly finished. the russian president noted germany's consistent commitment to the implementation of the project, which is exclusively of a commercial nature and his aimed at bolstering the energy security of germany and the e. u. well, the u. s. jarman t o reached on wednesday provide support for rush me about ukraine, which is bypass by the new pipeline. you've got $175000000.00 for the development of eco friendly infrastructure on the side will also seek to ensure that the current gas transit park between russia and ukraine remains in place about provides care with annual fees for allowing russi

s. link on. so in 2020 the u . s. was knocked off the top spot, but that was seemed to be a one off. and now the u. s. seemed to be reclaiming his rightful space in that area. i will say in china, in general, i mean it's called huge economy. but unlike the u. s. government owned enterprise of cycle stated enterprise play a much, much bigger role than they do in the u. s. and the certain sectors, entire sectors where the state and enterprise is sort of the dominant game. so if you look at things like ation or utilities or transportation or banking, you can't really get in as, as a phone company. and that's going to hamper the chinese for some time to come. and i guess the sumption always been that they will sort of have a more limited role for the state in the future. but that does not seem to be happening. so they still count for about one course of the countries output, and they seem to be holding study that says not greater liberalization taking place here in china. so you're saying, because despite tensions with th
