No happy ending for host australia as sweden beat them to wind 3rd flights the and a warm welcome to viewers around the world. Unlike local china has launch military drills around taiwan, shang, the exercises or a stern warning to tie ones leaders. The militarys joint air and see deployments are seen as a response to a us visit. By ty, we need Vice President william lie, tag, pay has condemned the drill, saying it has the ability to ensure its national security. Trying to claims itself govern taiwan as part of its territory and says it has no right to conduct foreign relations. A i s l correspondent james, the trader in taipei to fill us in on the latest developments in his face off across the taiwan strait. Well, lets run through some of the specifics fast rule the festival. These the joints, naval and at combat readiness control spearheaded by china is eastern if its a come on. Thats a part of the Chinese Ministry that is responsible for the pot of china, which is closest to tie one just over the taiwan straits. According to that, come on the aim of these drills as a test. The miniatures ability to seize and see spaces and its high. One time, one of the Defense Ministry says these chinese drills are taking place around the north and southwest all the time. Ones main lines that includes floating through cr, often 8 ships, 26 of those across today, across the median line of the taiwan strait. Thats a buffer line in the water that separates tie one from china and has kind of been respected by tie one and china for decades is a line thats the 4th is done across tie. One says, is despite ships on the cross to respond to these trails. Now course china says this is a serious wanting to what they call, set protest forces. And the in that whats troublemaker, which is time, once Vice President william live, which belongs to the ruling policy here in taiwan. As you will know, china is use military exercises before to send a clear message about this offering to the dispute. Like in response to then us House Speaker nancy pelosi visiting taiwan last year. How does this compare to well, the similarities all that its on. So you can buy the same parts of the Chinese Ministry, this eastern phase to come on, which as i say, has been responsible for with these drills that weve seen in cycling, tie one over the past year. Like previous exercises of this nature. The ones that were seeing at the moment combined navy and force units. The key parts of information is missing though for these current drills is the length, as he mentioned, following the missing of the current present time when the us how space and Kevin Mccarthy in those funds. We started this year, we saw for days of drills. I mean, its all the same, like for life fire exercises around fi one following then us how speak a nancy pelosi visits and type a in august last year. Cursory about time, the following non simpler things, visits the time when we saw or exercise, it exercises it more locations around the high ones mainland. So really insulting the entirety of the island. And on top of that, we will say so Cyber Attacks against highway as government Infrastructure Systems and economic sanctions. So at the moment we know quite to the level of those previous drills and that kind of complementary measures that beijing put into the fact that perhaps weighs more worrying about these drills. Is it that taking place . Despite the facts, william lights, high ones, Vice President , and the us took great pains to ensure that these still probably within the us will kept as low key as possible. He didnt meet with any senior us officials. Im reading that. So hes paging grubbing intolerance of any time from us, ty, one interaction, now corresponding james trader, theyre in taipei, a historical troy of lateral summit with the us, japan and south korea has ended with a security packed and the pledge to step up cooperation and other key areas, the meeting was hosted at camp davids prison in bidens woodland retreat. It took place against the backdrop of north koreas Missile Program and china enforcing its Maritime Claims in the south china sea. A new era of partnership between the us, japan and south korea, closing words from president biden, who hosted his 1st stomach at camp david. The allies agreed to strengthen ties across key areas such as security, the economy and technology as tension simmer in the in the Pacific Region privilege. I want to start by expressing that our world stance at an inflection point. A point where were called the lead a new ways to Work Together to stand together. And today im proud to say our nations are answering that call a call that is the diplomatic deadlock between japan and south korea. Relations between the 2 neighbors have been fraught for decades regard by japans military occupation before and during world war 2. The growing threats from regional rivals, china and north korea have pushed the 2 to open a new chapter. Biden praised his counter parts for their political courage, while stating that vision was not the focus of the summit to both them are china obviously came up and ill just say we dont share concerns about the economic origin or height intentions caused by china. But this summit was really about our relationship with each other and deepening cooperation across on the tire range of issues and when well beyond just the immediate issues we raised, it was about more peaceful and prosperous in the pacific. During the historic meeting, china responded with a call for peace in the region and denounce geopolitical competition. And typically people will go dont he attempt to piece together various exclusive, small groups to bring confrontation in military groups into the asia. Pacific region is unpopular, 50, those bound to the top position from regional countries. Us back at camp david, the trio announced they will hold joint annual military exercises and establish a crisis hotline, a turning point and relations that could test a region already fraud with tension. The dw reported Clifford Coon and lived and worked in china for 15 years. And joins me now, a clifford, the us president hales disagreement as the beginning of a new era. Your thoughts . While i think the choice of comp, david is very significant. Thats where the Us Government does big deals. We had the israel egypt. Peace deal was broken there in the seventys back during world war 2, franklin d. Roosevelt hosted Winston Churchill there is its always had that kind of that kind of stage that. So i think theres an Important Message by having this and come david dot add us, wants to nail down this very, very important Regional Partnership with 2 of its great allies in the region. Japan inside korea who havent always seen i to i, but in this case they now have sort of a common adversary, maybe enemies to strong in china and also with north korea to have japan and south korea come together like this was something many people thought impossible just a few short years ago. What changed . Yeah, i mean, this week mark, 78 years since the ending of, of japans colonized ation of south korea. So its, its, its a big weak and theyve had a lot of issues. They also had issues about sex slavery during the 2nd world war, and a lot of residual issues from that entre difficulties down the years. But i think what brought them together is, 1st of all that china has emerged as a major improvements in the region. And also north korea, the ms laws that are being tested are flying into the sea of japan. Theyre flying over japanese territory. Japan is extremely worried about north korea. And obviously south korea is bordering north korea. And its, its, its still in the, technically, in the state of war. It is only an armistice, not a peace deal between the 2 koreas so i think these factors have, have brought them together and allowed them to see beyond their differences. We hear the us president there are stressing that china was definitely not the target here, but undoubtedly, and increasingly bellicose. Beijing must have been looming over the entire talks. You lived in work in china for many years. Do you believe that the show of unity wilted turbo zhang or for their hard and changing things . Military muscle . I think, i think definitely the chinese are very annoyed about this because im keeping japan an unsolved. Korea separate is, is in chinas interest in terms of building up its middle tree. If you look at the spending on the, in the Chinese Military budget, a lot of it has been on building up its blue water at navy, which is, you know, for in the region. And a lot of its focus is areas in the south china sea. But also areas contested by south korea and north korea and its also seen as an ally of, of north korea. So definitely i think this is something that vision will not see as something in its favor.
