The china has invaded tie one. Experts are already confident of how china would proceed. Taiwan is navy and air forces would be destroyed by bombing. And tens of thousands of chinese soldiers would rush across the Taiwan Straits. China has made no secret of its ambitions. Dont pretend that taiwan is not part of try to describe it as i think we can clearly see that states are linking up to redraw the world. Matthew and boy, a rule between taiwan and china may seem very far away for germans. But the consequences for the country would be catastrophic. Were going to be blackmail. Yes. And we do have supply shortages in mass unemployment and vicar market crash would hit both economies very hard shop. Few countries have made themselves so dependent upon china, disassembled, man, this is when im ready, as the germans have to ask ourselves, and what is this, what we want to limit of focusing of sol . Germany has made itself bone ruble. Why the, we wanted to find the closest and the offices in china, germany, and taiwan. Is there a way to end this dependency . The, there are many signs that things have gone arrive. That germanys dependence upon china has become dangerous. One such warning is the story of 6 year old, anton, from berlin and his doctor malik. But yeah, he never really gets sick when he had a cold or a fever. He still go to the playground speeding until and got a serious infection in early may. A Television Crew happened to be filming his Doctors Office and documented on tons, visit plumbing, cause we examined him and found that he had bronchitis verging on pneumonia. And we started him on antibiotics and the antibiotics were initially available at the pharmacy football but do few and into low adults. I mean, its really not doors, its the line between life and death can be said. It can be as small as a tablet. When its there, you dont think about it when it isnt or as an until this case, theres not enough of it. Things become dangerous. The reason for the shortage china wasnt then supplying enough stuff, a low sprints antibiotics without china. Antoine was in peril of india when the time you stop sending Us Pharmaceuticals and we run short on separate us for and so you know, stuff us for and a very, very important, especially for severe infections and is he has asked. So that means people will die. Yes, theres no one to tell you. Dont worry, antibiotics will be available again soon. Bye. The shortages become the new normal doctor, but you had tried to circumvent the chinese problem by prescribing the lower dose, but it didnt work until one was admitted to hospital with severe pneumonia. Shortly after these videos were taken, the, the dependency on china has been tolerated for years. The facts about relationship mazda so on, problematic that we wouldnt have a concern that it could have been used against us. And so it we seeing how time has changed out, and now we have to change just how much time that has changed became evident in mid october at the new so growth for him in beijing siege and pain side by side with a man who has an International Arrest warrant loudy me a portion forshie. The brutal war is aggression against ukraine is no reason to avoid him. Quite the contrary. The only these external factors are common threats and the strength and russian chinese cooperation. Hes got this machine we have to remain outside. Unlike most of the western media follow the opening, said abrasions on the screen in the press center for see the new silk road as a way to expand and sign this power and influence china promises. This is up to moms legions. She threatens anyone who refuses to comply by the end of 5 that should be read shit. I also see the development of other states as a threat and consider economic inter dependencies are risk, dont benefit and do not help improve their countries of the fall time of the inquiry see says, whos in fantasy of great power. They both want to incorporate other countries into their respective empires. Taiwan is to see what ukraine is to person. Shes go is taiwanda, return to the motherland by force, if necessary. The ty pays National Revolutionary murders. Shrine commemorates the victims of the civil war when republican and communist chinese killed each other, concern over a return to that conflict can be felt everywhere. Here, the small democratic island states is now amassing arms to deter the constant threats from its outsized brother. The National Security council greets us and ty ones, president ial palace, wellington, who has the challenging task of protecting his island from china. Its on woodson to this. You know, hes trying to once unification with ty, when hes territory and is making no secret that it will take any step imaginable to do so. And then, but the tie when he is know that dictatorship and democracy are incompatible. Ever since the republican troops fled from the communists here in 1949, china has been demanding the return of what it sees as a renegade island. Around 90 percent of taiwanese reject the notion, most trust that their government will do everything necessary to protect them. For some though, that isnt enough. So yeah, good afternoon. Im trying you a told me i came back. Can you trained 6 months ago and went to the 52 year old is a tour guide in japan. But in march, he decided instead to travel to the front to this like a nice spot with an ukraine. Young guest, john keeps the gear, he used as a member of the International Legion in ukraines, in the military club. And ty pay, they mean that im going to use the ukranian flag on the job. If you survive, its a souvenir. Or if you die just scraped over the casket. The guy that he, that once i saw one tie when he soldier has died in ukraine, but china brought more than just the ukranian flag home with him. Courage also accompanied him back to the island nation, assigned to sign it. And before i went to ukraine, i didnt know if we could resist the chinese, the days, 3 weeks, or 3 months is on the going to after fighting. They are. I believe that if germany, france, great, britain and the United States are ready to support taiwan with lessons and show the way they support ukraine this. Yeah, let me quote that. Yeah, we can meet china the this, i mean, i follow on what, when times it is okay that back to john is preparing for a return to the historic civil war. Today, hes meeting with others who feel the same way that all seems a long way away. Under the autumn, solomon munich, volkswagen wants to show its best side during an automotive show. But something is different. Something casts a cloud over the Industrial Power house. Volkswagens electric cars are selling poorly in china, the worlds biggest car market. Ones, the biggest brand v w was being de thrown to buy chinese rivals. And one of them, b, y d has set up directly opposite them. And automotive duel on unix, grand boulevard. Everything is on the line for v w. No other German Company is so dependent upon china. Electric chinese cars in the pool position is an existential threat for volkswagen. And inspiration for china as carmakers will be happy to watch on this. Um visit on that. We probably offer something a bit different than german manufacturers. Seen in china. Digital options are very important. Paula uh from so now the pads you mode and all, but they havent gotten these done. I dont think they believed in electro mobility at all for volkswagen or gm they were dominating them. But what we see today is that chinese carmakers have over 60 percent of the market in electro mobility, so that youve uh, essentially support times the box on pizza nota. At the time being double use head of customer brands and sales inspect the china is e cars. German arrogance towards the chinese models was once legendary. But now managers are thronging to see the chinese, and the proof of their own shortcomings was gone. Porsche automotive, air and owner of v w is here with v w. C. O 40. The blue man isnt off before and we are still the strongest car maker in china. Its crucial that we now succeed in the transformation to electro mobility. And what we did take, getting it is the chinese st. German cars are on cool. Id rather buy a, b, y, d for light and dw will just get 20 or 30 percent of his profit from china, off it or shot would of course be a disaster for both school and a couple schools. In the large exhibition hall in munich and alarmed who was who of german business moves into place . The chancellor alongside the car magnet, chancellor, shows the rushes to munich to support the german car industry. The chinese offensive is all ready damaging on this side of the world. German prophets arent what they once were, and when prophets wayne so do jobs. The movie, the tips vender is the transformation of mobility is a big job, but its a team effort. Once ive come here today, as part of that team talk to submit the business teams. That team is finding a worthy opponent. Chinas e cars are cheap because badging subsidizes them. Germany could retaliate with punitive terrorist across europe. The stats are China Strategies increase a level Playing Field and see if you protect your markets and provide subsidies for to. So when we go to demand equal opportunities for more and we wont be pushed off the Playing Field, but would in germany, there would europe a risk engaging in a trade conflict with china . Suddenly the automotive conference becomes something else. Green peace activists crash the party body guards swarm around shouts while the activists decry climate change. It may be more than just the climate thats changing, maybe an entire industry. Maybe the german economic model trade with china has long been a party. Former chancellor angle a miracle called beijing, a strategic partner. The principal for germany supplied engineering and china provided cheap goods with us in and out to the to have them stop. We thought and authoritarian state wouldnt allow the freedom and create charity of a democracy. We just in that democratic, thats why trade was an easy with trying to blame, goes 100 met, you know, but because china would always try to copy what we exported us, not to balance. Theyd always be one step behind us. Pm, obviously been a my interest in tone sign. A mass of miscalculation trade with china was once highly profitable for germany. But china has now caught up, and in some areas even overtaken, the unemployment has reached a point where the balance of shifting impact chinese influence are increasing volt and a chinese excellence decreasing which of the balance is shifting towards china. And also this is when we, as john and its have to ask ourselves on site, is this what we want . But as much as you know, so the german Business Model is over just what do you see is the call today a dispute out oft as well . Its because we important cheap products from china, be cheap gas from russia. Well still do business all over the world. And the americans pay for our security in terms of that over. Now, what does the states, if you need to end corona and russias war against ukraine, have shown just how dependent germany is on Global Supply chains. But its even more dependent on china and russia. What lessons has robert hop back . Germanys economy minister learn developed global trade. We havent trauma, we had a 55 percent gas depending on the and we managed to keep the National Economy running dusty for 95. 00 and it wouldnt have been possible knowing 90 percent would have pulled the rug out from underneath those records over 90 percent. Thats how dependent gemini is on china for certain medicines and rule materials venice. So if it comes to a conflict with taiwan, ties between germany and china will change overnight, but not the contents in a row of aggression would result and sanctions against china. The worlds most important trade routes would be cops between one 3rd and half of all global goods are shipped through the Taiwan Strait and none of that would arrive, wed have supply shortages and faced mass unemployment tests. It wouldnt be much now. But suppose this, the German Government has created a new china strategy. The goal is the risk and less risk around china, less no, even cheap. But what does that mean . How would it look tie one has been hedging its bets with china for years. The ace up its sleeve computer chips will for high went through why the team, if taiwan is phone trade, were interrupted to see the face. It would be a major disaster. Whats your way . Its not just for taiwan, but for the whole world to go. Because taiwan produced a 60 percent of the world semi conduct to the house, to inches and data to the top of the percent of the, the tie one Semi ConductorManufacturing Company is one of the most important in the world. Its highly successful product even has its own museum and can be found in refrigerators, cars and mobile devices around the globe. The t. S. M. C. Museum commemorates the 7 fathers of taiwan. So electronics, industry, managers and government officials who met at a sewing milk snack bar 50 years ago and made a Ground Breaking decision. Christie issue is an economist. She knows t s m. C. Inside out. Over a sewing milk she reveals the Founding Fathers plan taiwan should concentrate its expertise on one product, one which could not simply be copied by neighboring countries. The plan receive Government Support and became a complete success. The world now depends on taiwan for Semi Conductors. The production is uniquely sophisticated if there are only because, because even they want to take g as in the, the will be just the factory just the building because people, they have foods, right . They cant be right. And most of the senior engineers, the ts mc, probably have green car, so they can lead easily. And then there will be no way for uh, for that as operations to continue. Neither china nor the rest of the world could whether a stop in the supply of Semi Conductors. China has to think twice before actually attacking taiwan and the International Community would do anything to prevent a war with ty, one tie, one created a silicon shield, shield of Semi Conductors, the and germany. It needs its own silicon shield. There is no back up for the medicines on tone urgently needs no alternative to the antibiotics. Antoine, this treatment isnt working until this parents are forced to take him to hospital with severe pneumonia. That is also physically, his oxygen levels were very low and tom was in bad shape. Therefore he had trouble breathing trouble walking. He didnt want to do anything. He lacked all strength but allowed you to go. If you cant get antibiotics, its just bad. Its very painful. As a parent, being unable to help your child, theres nothing there to help them. But antibiotics used to be produced in germany. Penicillin production started in a frankfurt suburb and 1950. And after a few years could meet all of germanys demands. The easiest media come in, this medicine will save the lives of countless germans in the years to come. So they were released if you can use it in to think about how much penicillin and stuff in a sparrens where a manufacturer did just from off to the 2nd world war and titles and into this millennium isnt found out at some point the chinese boat, we dont like that to have what we want the market to be dependent on us on the flooded the market with substances. Dunham price is a all scrunched offer because ive taken this and that means that china made sure that production and hooks ended on hooks to what most yes, the hooks facility is now just an industrial monument. Antibiotics havent been produced here since 2017. Only the price mattered. Germanys dependents on china quickly became apparent to like one to the left side of the t. V. A boiler exploded in an anti bio 6 factory in eastern china in october 2016. A big thumbs up to ours of the key loop, reduced power. So then then antibiotic, at the facility and germany quickly liked the drug, chinese manufacturers had won the supply war using extremely low prices. For low spring production is now concentrated in just 3 large factories. We also the Chinese Companies for comments, but they refuse were seeing those corporate spies the Companies Use popular wedding to avoid prying questions from john and this. Lauren is infiltrating china. The whole country is fighting spies. The Companies Come to dress political topics to sensitive this the on. So from key to a major chinese, im tied by all 6 company. 3 3 you 1st of what do you mean . We have no interest in working with foreign media. We have no external communication with foreign media. Goodbye before we travel to one of the stuff last spring clubs and shun. She provence, t lose european exports increased by 130 percent last year. One employee agrees to talk to us at the main entrance. Moment for the discussion we produce the last sprint or product score run the world. Jordan, very proud of that. All prisons doesnt go unnoticed, discussing with security stuff at the main entrance, filming prohibited china wants to make others dependent on them while remaining or homeless themselves. The risking in china even has its own name. You will circulation to prepare itself for a trade war. China wants to boost domestic consumption and reduce its own dependence upon exports. But german corporations are risking even more investments into china. Continue to grow skepticism monthly and i believe that there are still some in the economy saying we just want to increase profits with china. But theyre not also trying to minimize risk. Again, volkswagen wants to stay in the race and as invested 2400000000 euros into a project with horizon robotics. The chinese are the market leaders and self driving cars. We want to offer the customer the best. Were just using the best local solution. One get its expensive. Vw hopes its chinese strategy will run as predictably as many of its cars. The didnt have to replace the chinese mon could eventually because those companies will no longer play the role they have for the last 20 years. Thats been seen sponsors, alex, be a tough even less well known. C
