Nancy Pelosi lands in Taiwan despite China warning US will 'pay the price

 For us, I just need to replace us up with

what's taking place we are just taking you

out of the screen for the time being Margaret

only for a moment because we have the

plane door open that is the aircraft

it truly is been wearing nancy Pelosi the

senior u.s.democrat

and it has touched down and those are

now getting off the aircraft it is quite

darkish as I said it is uh what sort of 10

to 11ish

at night there so we can see there are

pretty a few people getting off as you

can see so we are waiting to see if nancy

Pelosi uh herself gets off it might be a

a little bit problematic to identify her in the

darkish but this is the instant it appears

like this go to uh is commencing because

up until now, there were lots of

speculation about whether it'd

manifest whether or not it wouldn't show up it

did not appear on any reliable uh flight

schedule and in reality the schedule simply

so that you realize

is quite busy uh commenced in Singapore

this tour of uh Asia um it's flown

in reality now from the Malaysian capital

Kuala Lumpur crossing Borneo and the

Philippines flooding north along

taiwan's east coast is now on the

airport and we can kind of see a

delegation of officers it looks as if

approaching the side

of the aircraft there thrilling to peer

what reception might be given here

due to the fact virtually it is pretty overdue and one

might expect it will likely be

straight back to the uh lodge and sleep

however, there may be reliable engagements

already there can be this respectable

reception don't know who's therefrom

the

Taiwanese

side so we wait to look if

and whilst

it is going to be mild sufficient

to honestly see if we can crane this could

by nancy Pelosi on foot down the steps

right now

so Nancy Pelosi may be attending to the

the backside of the steps appears and being

met there you could see the flashbulbs of

cameras which could be beneficial for us to

attempt to see something however a huge moment

this

nancy Pelosi a democrat and

her very own president Biden a democrat

could as a substitute this visit wasn't going

beforehand at this time, there have been

others inside the administration and

inside the USA need to factor out for

stability who are actually saying this

go to must move ahead there were

similar visits inside the beyond at this level

nancy carefully of course is a member of

the legislature in the uh is, not a part of

the government is no longer part of the government

now not part of president Biden's team this

isn't always an official if you want uh

diplomatic experience in that experience

of the path the purpose it is sensitive

as we recognize is because the USA has

diplomatic ties with china

now not with Taiwan, it does have other

relations with Taiwan however it does now not

have respectable diplomatic family members with

Taiwan and that is the way that china

wants it and this is the manner that china

insists it ought to stay beneath its uh one

china coverage and that's why china has

been given those livid warnings uh

warning that Nancy Pelosi has to not

go to but it appears now

she has and he or she has touched down let's

get the reaction of professor Margaret

McMillan to that moment professor

well it permits wish it isn't always one of those

ancient moments in which all of us look lower back

and say oh that in reality become the start

of something um I desire I used to be questioning

you recognize of course she has a proper to head

to Taiwan, if she wishes I wish she'd completed

it and then we might hear approximately it I assume

the Chinese would possibly have reacted better i

suppose what we must ask ourselves now

is what's the Chinese government going

to do

and could it exchange their stance amongst

different matters on Ukraine um

The Chinese language has now not condemned the Russian

invasion of Ukraine however they have not

sold them guns um you recognize they

have not sincerely egged them on in Ukraine

they haven't shown wholehearted help

for them, I'm wondering if it will exchange i

think that I am sorry to jump in only

this is genuinely without a doubt thrilling due to the fact

I was going to ask you my next question

become right it befalls now what are the

options going through china they might pass for

complete-scale invasion

less than that though what are their

options you seem to be pointing properly one

of them in retaliation may be a change

of stance determine truly we're gonna

we are gonna help Russia we're not going

to guide Ukraine

I assume it is simply possible i

mean I assume they will protest

vociferously to the USA and i

suppose the united states said we will strive i

suppose to alter china however, it's it is

going to be hard due to the fact Taiwan has

been such a problem and the modern-day

chief in china Xi Jinping has made it

such trouble the other component of the route

is he has this massive party congress coming

up within the fall in which he's looking forward to

be anointed as basic president for

life and might he manage to pay for no longer to not to

look tough approximately this

exciting and on nancy Pelosi what do

you suspect is her motivation right here for

doing this

properly I've been asking myself that um

she's always been a hawk on china she's

always been um you recognize very very

crucial of china on its file on human

rights I suggest the democrats have you ever

know usually supported human rights and

so I assume she probable feels um that

she has each proper to move and show

help for democracy in Asia and the

different possibility and I'm only

speculating right here is that she

is probably accomplishing the level when

people are starting to marvel whilst

she will retire um and I can not

recollect what her age is but she is i

suppose pretty antique I am to be continuing

this very excessive profile functions as

speaker of the residence and it can nicely be

that she wants to

show that she is a statesman in the world

order through going on one of these tours however in reality

I do not that the timing of this tour i

think it could be very unfortunate and allow's

fast touch at the significance of

Taiwan because it's miles a highly small

island off the coast of china however the us

hobby there is not simply military and

strategic and ancient it is it's

economic too

nicely Taiwan is one the exceptional

manufacturers of microchip um and china are

is of course and one of the matters

it really is been slowing down western

economic um boom lately has been the

difficulty in getting microchips each person

who's trying to shop for a brand new vehicle could be

privy to that or quite a few consumers

equipment and so I think Taiwan may be very

vital

inside the delivery chain for excessive-tech and

it's also I suppose essential as an image

of Yankee willpower to remain a

pacific electricity and if the Americans again

down over Taiwan what does that say to

the Japanese what does that say to the

Vietnamese what does that say to the

South Koreans um so Taiwan represents

more than just

a small island or smallish island

and what do you think we are going to

hear now from

the USA

because we've heard those uh warnings

from china now the traffic occurred we

wait to look the response from china

whether or not that's in words or in moves

but then we can necessarily be asking uh

the white house and government in in

the USA and what will be their reaction

now

I assume the American administration is

in a completely hard function I mean can

they have enough money to disown the speaker their

speaker of the residence of representatives

and a person who has been in politics

a totally long term and is

broadly seen as as a leading democrat um

you know for them now to sentence her for

doing this I suppose he is very difficult

certainly and so I assume what they are going

to must try to do is display aid

for certainly one of their personal without alienating

or infuriating the Chinese anymore and

that may be a very tough route to

tread certainly.
