You a secretary of state, anthony blink, and well hope to put some distance between russia and china. Pushing back on chinas role in russias war machine will be a top priority. China continues to provide materials to support russians defense, industrial base. And all of this is fueling pollutants war machine, etc, attacks ukrainians and threatens European Security relations between the worlds 2 top global rivals have been 10 since early last year, after chinese by balloon flew across us territory and fresh disputes relating to silver world. Taiwan emerged since then, they thought a little shooting, being held face to face talks with the, with President Joe Biden in San Francisco last november. But the wants has kept pressure on beijing, sanctioning chinese firms that ship products to russia. The Real Estate Department says china is supporting russias war machine by supplying machine tools, computer chips, optics, drones, and cruise missiles technology. The micro chips are crucial and filling the gaps in the russian war effort. Rushes semiconductor imports from china jumped from 200000000 in 2021 to over 500000000 in 2022.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of troops have been called up to fight for ukraine since russia launched its invasion. 2 years ago, many of them have not returned from the front line. The w spoke to a mother whose family has paid a high price. Natalia started nick, had 3 sons when russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. This is my son who says my youngest son, the last summer natalia buried her youngest or lexie. He served in some of the bloodiest bottles of the will. Look through my level. My youngest was, installer died after solid. He was in boss moved up to box, moved to his in house on the phone. He didnt see the fence he was near underneath can has on your thumb. Theres a Country Village called antonia of sca when he was killed there. For the day of alexys death, natalia tried to convince him to leave the army. She feared hed share the same fate as our eldest son. So he had just been reported missing. Middle son, audrey is also listed as missing natania hopes. The oldest sons are allied, but thats be no confirmation. She likes to remember them as they appear in these photos for me. Specialists and this is my of the sunset. He this is my andrea. Sure. This is all you will say were happy with my boys can do everything. What are you cooking and baking from sidney or what do you but they grew up well and they grew up together. I have boys to read the lawsuit and the all 3 of them graduated from music school when the controlling will defend the school was super controller. Natalia is supported by her daughters in new orlando and or less. Yeah, they call her mother on the board. But i am supplement as low as we tried to call whenever possible to ask her. Mom is doing. I live close as she comes to us sits with her grandchildren. My mother is also retired, but it says no one you only have to go through. Yes, maam, to come and she does, was it since that husbands disappeared, orlando, unless you are in constant contacts, trying to find out what happened to them of the vantage. Just as it seemed all that no one gives us any official confirmation or less. Yeah. And i would like to us together to the Security Service of ukraine. Elizabeth, now we constantly receive the same on so that the russian side does not provide any information. There is no confirmation of any kind of watching them on the truck. Natalia says the lack of information is unbearable, but she hasnt lost hope that shell one day be able to help her sons again. Vehicle school the clock can i say honestly, i tried to smile and not show my emotions over. I take few or walk so that no one, uh, 6, lots going on. If they do, my head starts to her and i run away. I dont want to be seen to push the button with us secretary of state asked me blinking in china for talks. Id like to get some analysis by bringing in laurie daniels, managing director of the Asia Society Policy institute, a us based thanks. Have a very warm welcome to the show today. Shortly before asked me blinking arrived in shanghai, the Chinese State news agency quoted, an Unnamed Ministry representative as, as essentially saying the u. S. Is interfering in chinas internal affairs and, and smearing its image. What kind of welcome do you think and blink, and can expect as well. I think that both of us in china already incredibly tight political environments right now. Youve just run a very moving piece about the war, a new crane, which is an issue that the us in china has the, the differences on. So i think the blinking um will have a standard diplomatic welcome, a cordial welcome, but certainly there are a lot of issues to address of the Us China Relationship that will require some very candid and uncomfortable conversations. And i think secretary blinking is as well toys to continue those conversations. Lets talk a little bit more about that ukraine issue, which as youve said, will be a little behind on the agenda last week and blinking suggested that beijing is essentially playing a double game here. One thing, good relations with europe while also supporting russia is his assessments. A fair one, do you think . I thats literally, i think the chinese economic and Strategic Priorities lend themselves to these types of policy contradictions. On the one hand, china does need the European Market as an export for export market for its goods. On the other hand, it has an equally to itself important economic relationship with russia, which is becoming an increasingly vital part of chinas energy security, but also its Food Security as it seeks to further development between china and russia on you know, green trade. So i think that beyond that, strategically, china, while it understands the intense International Concern and approbation of russias violation of ukraine sovereignty also sees, is very sympathetic to the russian view. That its been provoked by an expanding alliance network. And when china looks at its own periphery and its neighbors, and so use so many u. S. Allies and partners trying to balance its economic and military power in the region. It ones itself toward supporting russia. So you can see how all of these different Strategic Priorities do create contradictions and policy. And thats exactly why these visits, such as the one by secretary of state blinking are so important. Its about, you know, influencing that balance of interest, of ways that are favorable to peace and stability, not just in europe, but all over the world. So what kind of influence do you think it is realistic that blinking could have here, given those interest and chinese world view that youve just described . I think its going to be a challenge for sure. I think part of the understated value of these types of visitors is that it does give each policy community and opportunity to kind of reassess its interest in regards to that balance. That bigger strategic balance. And that type of action forcing mechanism or conversation for a student mechanism that makes each policy community really sit down and say, you know, do our policy assumptions work for the time that were in, can be slow moving as a needle over time. I think right now and us, china relations, things are so tens um and particularly, you know, china is a very strong opposition to us. Support for taiwan. Does block opportunities to cooperate or to rethink those Strategic Priorities . Red, large. But it doesnt mean that theyre not important opportunities to gather information and again to consolidate each countrys own thinking on what it needs from the other side. Yeah, tell us a little bit more about that because of course, the relationship with brushing off the only controversial points youve hinted at the taiwan question. The us congress has just approved a new aid package for taiwan, which includes arm support for the island. How do you think that is going to play out and talks with a blanket in china . As i think is one of the most sensitive issues for the chinese and really reflective of deep, deep differences in how to approach the taiwan issue. You know, the a package that was packed uh that was past is relatively flexible. So i think that some explanation might be useful for secretary blinking to give on how that aid package will be inactive if, if that comes up in conversation, i think that would be helpful. Um, but i think overall, you know, there remains a sense in the us policy community and i believe in the Us Government that the best option for peace and stability in the taiwan street is for the us and its allies and partners to help balance chinas military power and particularly its course of power over time, one through these types of military a packages. So i think all of those issues will certainly be on the table and i think china will give a very strong opinions against increasing us Taiwan Defense cooperation. Thank you. So much for sharing your insights with us today that as well re daniels from the asian Society Policy institute. My pleasure. Thank you. And we can take a look now at some other world News Headlines as President Biden has also signed a law and forcing tick tock to sell it to us business or be banned from the United States. Lawmakers passed the measure over concerns the platforms, chinese owner shares, users information with the government, take talks as the law as an attack on free speech, and that it will launch a legal challenge. Iranian media, se popular wrapper has been sentenced to death on charges linked to the mass protests of the last 2 years to march. So they, he publicly back to demonstrations, triggered by the death of gina mazda. I mean, she died after being detained by a runs, the so called mortality police and Embassy International is warning, but human rights faced their biggest threats in decades. The Campaign Groups as the wars and gaza and Ukraine Violates International law. Along with the spread of authoritarian governments is rarely military size. It has attacked dozens of hezbollah targets in southern lebanon and retaliation for rockets fired over the border. Is route released this footage thing. It hit as blot, weapons, storage, and infrastructure of these rarely defense ministers. As the groups leaders have paid a heavy price to salt them, you will tell you all. And most of the regional results are highly impressive. The miss luckett, this is one half of hezbollah commanders in southern lebanon, who are eliminated. These were people in charge of the offensive operation opportunity to harm the citizens of israel. They are now either dead or some are hiding, or just having a band in southern lebanon onto the idea of intensive operation. They pull up, all should its all she and i said both in intern saving or whats picked up on that was rebecca writers from our studio in jerusalem. Rebecca, i, hezbollah official, dismissed as b as rarely defense ministers statement as completely worthless. And he says, and only at boosting is riley moreau. And how is it being reported in israel . What is being told of israel has been carrying out this offensive action in southern 11. No, no. Thats something that you want to go on. The defense minister he just heard from there had signaled some weeks ago that is ro would also be moving to offensive action not just defensive action. Now we know that this being tit for tat tit for tat, rather border cross border action. Since the 8th of october, one has the noticed its best rockets in 2 northern israel from southern lebanon aust. Following that have must terror attack on october 7 when we say now and the last 24 hours, the idea of saying its hit some 40 targets. Thats the latest to figure that we have the infrastructure and munitions targets loudly roll. So you have come out saying is you just heard that 50 percent of hezbollah saw them come on, have also being wiped out, of course, impossible to verify those numbers from where im standing. But that is what theyre saying. Many analyst has been saying, and many is raised to saying that a direct conflict between israel and 11 on is more or less inevitable. But the same analysts saying that its unlikely it will happen until the conflict thats happening in gaza will, the will thats happening in gaza is quote, all these are finished. And certainly, you know, off to, you know, something looking like a rough are offensive, which is certainly where everyones eyes are focused on now. So something in the know, if i should say that wouldnt happen until after then. So the unlikely that what were seeing now is any kind of escalation more, a continuation of the tit for tat that we have been seeing over the last month. And rebecca, id like to pick up right there was a warrant because its now been more than 200 days of war at this stage. Is it clear what israel is . A plan has . Well, lets have a really 100 percent clear, of course. So we have been saying in recent days it more strikes and other site, elijah bombardments in the center and north of goza. I we, mrs. Saying its certainly some of the heaviest that theyve witnessed. In recent times, what weve heard of evacuation orders for people in that Northern Region as well. But of course all eyes really focused on this eminence rather offensive. Its what unless to saying is almost inevitable now. And weve been saying some reporting today from the access web web media site saying that 3 very senior officials are actually in egypt to discuss a potential rough or offensive day with officials. Now, egypt has been very against any kind of offensive happening in roswell, because of the more than 1000000 people that other sheltering from other parts of the gaza strip earlier today. We also heard from the as really military to say that they are ready. We know that 2 battalions to reserve fatalities were cooled off and theyve been training. Im going to treat today saying that theyre ready to carry out a rafter offensive, but they are just waiting for the political green lights. So that can some of the cation of where we think things are right Benjamin Netanyahu 2 weeks ago ago saying that there was a date set for the referent vision. Since then, we had quite a bit of distraction with the around counter attack. And then these riley counts accounts are attacked. Now all eyes back on this. What seems to be inevitable, rather offensive analyst saying though that it may not happen immediately because there is still a need to at least move some of the move a 1000000 people that are sheltering in rafa. So certainly look, that looks like that. That offensive is going to be carried out, but probably not in the next hours or even in the next days or correspondent rebecca rivers and jerusalem. Thank you. Sound Columbia University in new york has extended the deadline for pro palestinian student protesters to clear the campus by 48 hours. The university saying students have to agree to dismantle a number of tents, police of warranty. They will clear the entire camp if the demonstrators fail to leave protests against the war and cause i have spread to universities. Across the United States, several colleges have closed campuses and hundreds of students has been arrested policy analysts list actual guidelines the from the United States for more on thats good to see, we can list what were seeing on University Campuses across the country at the moment is it fair to say that this seems to be a Student Movement beyond anything weve seen and quite a long time. As theres been a ton of parallels drawn between this movement and 1968, which was a massive student dismissal. If youre in a states and kind of abroad, i know millennial. And it immediately actually reminds me of chicata parks and occupied wall street. And while that wasnt hap
