The speaker of the u.s house of
representatives city Pelosi has given a
press conference in the capital of Japan wherever she
defended her recent visit to Taiwan she
said that America won't enable china
to isolate Taiwan however additionally that her tour
of Asia wasn't meant to alter the
status quo within the region the Chinese
military has conducted large
live-fire drills around Taiwan in
response to the current week's visit by ms
Pelosi
they may try and keep Taiwan from
visiting or
participating in alternative places
but they're going to not isolate Taiwan by
preventing America
to travel there
well Taiwan's defense ministry says that
multiple Chinese vessels and craft
have crossed the informal line dividing
Taiwan is straight between the island
and Asian country for a second day
our correspondent prince Wingfield hayes
is in the capital of Taiwan
things have started here these days the
Taiwanese defense ministry is reportage
that varied
and craft have crossed what the decision
the center line is the line
halfway between Taiwan and uh the
mainland of china uh it's still early
here this afternoon uh yesterday we have a tendency to saw
multiple missiles being discharged within the
afternoon towards waters around Taiwan
could happen once more these days
but I believe
I think the jury is out on however long and
how way china goes to push uh thisshow of force tons of consultants area unit
saying there is planning to be many days of
uh of fireworks up to form an enormous show
and and intimidate
but additionally, china goes to
normalize this which uh Chinese military service
and air
fully and additional sharply patrolling
in the waters of Taiwan within Taiwan
straits within the coming back weeks and months
to for Beijing to indicate that actually this
is its territory and it's not planning to
be pushed around by Taiwan or the united
states it is a form of normalization of
Chinese management over the waters that it
it claims
well let's get the most recent currently with our
China correspondent Sir Leslie Stephen MacDonald
who joins America live from Beijing Sir Leslie Stephen
Welcome to you Beijing has been referred to as its
war games are a necessary response to the current
visit however Washington has the same that china
has chosen to react what is your
analysis
one attention-grabbing issue has been that the
Chinese military is not concealing several
the stuff that it's doing if truth be told we have a tendency to had
university on tv here confirming
that Chinese missiles had truly
been discharged over Taiwanese territory currently
if that is correct that's a
dramatic increase in what the plan has
been ready to try and do these kinds of
live fireplace exercises actually it hasn't
happened for
decades if in the slightest degree
and such as you understand if this will become a
sort of traditional scenario
it marks quite a dramatic increase
it's attention-grabbing tho' I did see some
analysis
from some military researcher sorts tho'
saying that in Taiwan and even within the
u.s
the military their area unit quite finding
this useful themselves as a result of it
enables them to check
the PLA's thinking and capability
and thence arrange for associate degree ultimate defense
of Taiwan thus on the one hand Beijing
might suppose well this can be a nice cyber
rattling wherever we're golf shot the worry of
god or the worry of chairman mao into
uh the folks that survive that island
but in our own way of gazing it's that
it additionally doubtless higher prepares them
for such an associate degree attack if a true one ever
does come back someday affirmative Sir Leslie Stephen city
Pelosi has same her visit isn't
intended to alter the establishment in
your read tho' has it inevitably done
that
if these exercises become traditional
excuse me
if these exercises become traditional if
we're seeing them per annum it's
definitely modified the establishment in
terms of what the Chinese military is
prepared {to do|to try to |to try associate degree do} I mean if we're seeing an
encirclement exercise of Taiwan each
year dry run for a blockade
stopping industrial ships from stopping
commercial flights from um coming back into
Taiwanese airspace however that's
definitely, a shift thus if we're seeing
this into the longer term I do not see however you
can say things haven't been modified
Stephen the maneuvers area unit going down
along a number of the busiest shipping
routes on the world that area unit won't to
supply things like semiconductors and
electronic equipment what quantity of associate degree
issue is that
well in fact it yea for a minimum of
the coming days it is a Brobdingnagian issue if you
can't get
massive traveler
planes in and out of Taiwan if
commercial ships cannot land there
it is often quite damaging to
Taiwan's economy and even specific
companies in Taiwan that cannot get their
shipments in or out
they would be hoping tho' that it
doesn't last too long that it's solely
till say the weekend and
then it will form of come to traditional
at least till the subsequent time such a
practice blockade takes place
okay Sir Leslie Stephen mcdonald is in Beijing currently.
