You know receiving this news. Taiwan goes to the polls on saturday with the islands there sighing when hoping for a 2nd term in office but her campaign suffered a setback 100 Campaign Spokeswoman resigned after making controversial statements in an interview to dutch avella in an interview with a Chinese Service lynne cheney said supporting unification with china would amount to treason lynn later said her choice of words had been imprecise now for reference it china and its influence in taiwan is a major subject in taiwan politics given its size and the fact that china claims taiwan as a part of its territory any comment to do with taiwans or nations with china a close they watched heres more of what lynne cheney said in her interview with dr vella. Hall 1st by definition is unification with china treason according to taiwans constitution or at least we agree that the Chinese Communist party has always been a threatening party a threatening regime to us china has missiles aimed at us and keeps threatening to invade taiwan by force. From the perspective of a state this kind of advocacy is treason which is impermissible how far can we allow the boundaries for free speech to go. What you said may sound unacceptable for pro unification supporters. China is a threat to our sovereignty but what they mean is that we should abandon taiwan sovereignty in order to unite with china is that treason in many cases thats why we amended the National Security law last year its unacceptable for taiwans retired generals to attend lectures in china and Political Activities or military parades their pension should be stripped in this case because it usually jeopardizes National Sovereignty particularly towards National Defense and politics for more than go across the did of a correspondent thievin kong East Asia Bureau in taipei now this isnt the 1st time treason in relation to contact with china has been discussed in taiwan why are lynching used comments causing such a storm. Well treason is a criminal act and the high ones are secure National Security loss right now but when somebody tries to collude with Foreign Forces to do something to undermine taiwans National Sovereignty they may become fact but dont the obvious interview arlene seeing you claims that even if someone supports or apple case you know occasion with china well constitutes treason so this box and country obviously and where they and i learn and course back prior to precedent because people criticize that. If this is the kind of infringement of freedom of speech that the government is trying to contact someone simply based on their speech soley but not the actual behavior and the so this is the reason why these courses in taiwan and this comes particularly sensitive at the moment when taiwan is parliament chest and that and new interest ration n. T. In frustration law that pretends china is from meddling into taiwans election and politics so some skeptics they worry that this may indicate a harder line taken by the ruling party that they may limit the scope apre speech when they talk something about like unification by china in the future or just speaking about the election this is just days away of time bombs they dont sighing when surfers accuse china over diverting of the divert from how concerned are people about this. Well people are very concerned about the less interference from china and that particularity of the Misinformation Campaign which i suspect had to be carried out by china white on the island and when we look at the last local election on taiwan reports have found that quite a number of chinese social media accounts spread misinformation in fact news on the rifles and on the other hand some parts beijing friendly candidates so people are why you that beijing is using this kind of tactic to manipulate otice 0 pinon and citizens have set up accept groups to counter the rumors online and to clarify that although no citizens and the authority also prosecute some people over these some 18 misinformation if youve gone in taipei thank you very much for speaking to us elephants tourism is a big draw in thailand with visitors eager to witness the fact that dams is amazing skills and abilities but a lot of these interactions come at the cost of extreme cruelty to the animals but 1. 00 in general is trying a different one or 2 main approach. Tori is only 2 years old but shes a fast learner the exercises seem innocent enough but shes already undergone separation from her mother beatings and months and captivity with one aim in mind so that she is at van tackling village in thailands east as a center for elephant training activists are trying to end cruel practices but still much goes on away from the cameras meanwhile for the local mayor hood its not so black and white. We do not raise them to hurt them but we raise them like someone enough family if theyre not stubborn and we do nothing to that but the hook on the knife for our protection when we are in difficulty or in danger we can use that if we only use up their hands on an elephant rose the crowd we wouldnt have anything. At this camp near chiang mai in the north of the country elephants perform tricks up to 5 times a day. Its a tourist draw and with visitors sometimes 5000. 00 a day paying an entrance fee of 50. 00 its big business here like in many centers the bull hook is used to discreetly increasingly elephant rides are getting bad press and tour operators are steering clear. Some camps are rebranding themselves as refuges for sanctuaries but activists say the same old bad practices still occur when n. G. O. S looking to a new approach here are tourists must stay at least 15 metres away from the animals and there is strictly no touching. The target is to return total freedom to the elephants. But we need to do this without causing problems to other communities living nearby. But. Remain a key factor here but the hook is only used as a last resort. How. Yeah. Elephants is safe and also the tourists feel safe sometimes they feel stressed out when they see tourists and as a result they can hurt the tourists you know ever since this program was implemented they have become comma. In albany and were going to have there are nearly 4000 elephants in captivity in thailand then campaigners hope cruelty and the bull hook will be things of the past.
