Going to in remote indonesian areas to keep learning. Hello taiwan says its had to scramble fighter jets to track approaching Chinese Air Force planes as the visit of a u. S. Official brings new tension Taiwans Defense Ministry says they were sent up as chinese jets cross the midline of the Taiwan Straits china begun military drills close to taiwan after the arrival there of a top u. S. State Department Official well china is accusing the us. Party of colluding to stir up trouble and says the exercises in the Taiwan Strait are to protect what it sees as its territorial sovereignty and the u. S. Undersecretary for Economic AffairsKeith Crocker is the most senior state Department Official to land in taiwan in decades and it also marks the 2nd visit by a u. S. Official in 2 months the Chinese Government condemned the trip and says diplomatic relations between taiwan and the u. S. Will lead to a dead end lets talk about all of this with rob mcbride hes following the story for us from seoul tense times around the Taiwan Straits what more do we know about what happened and what china is saying about the incidents. Thats right this intense military activity in and around the Taiwan Strait really ratcheting up the tension level in this part of the world at the chinas Defense Ministry has said that this exercise is necessary and reasonable but we know now from taiwans military that in response they have had to scramble friday their intercept jets when they say that they detected a number of multiple chinese and military aircraft crossing over the hard way line in the straits of taiwan that separates taiwan from Mainland China coming very close to taiwanese airspace before those jets turned around they also say they deployed as a precaution defense missiles so certainly a very serious incursion and response from taiwan that we often see this is a Mainland China is way of showing its displeasure and that is are you a normal response from taiwan but of course it comes during this visit by a very Senior Member from the state department keith crack who is there to attend a Memorial Service for lead on way former president of taiwan but of course during his visit friday he is meeting with government officials in taiwan and also meeting taiwans current president saying went so this has china china has not referred directly to this visit but it has talked about the increasing diplomatic exchanges between the u. S. And taiwan this is what a Defense Ministry spokesperson had to say about this trend. Me recently the United States and the Democratic Progressive Party authorities have set up their collusion and frequently stir up trouble whether its using taiwan to contain china or rely on foreign powers to threaten others it is Wishful Thinking and is destined to be dead and who plays with fire will get burnt the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army has firm will full confidence in sufficient ability to thwart all external interference and separatist acts of Taiwan Independence and resolutely defend National Sovereignty and territorial integrity so rob just put his visit more its a context for us and tell us what we all expect from this visits. Well it does seem to be the United States really using the taiwan issue in its continuing wrangle with Mainland China of course taiwan is a hugely sensitive issue for china beijing regards it simply as a renegade i learned it hates the idea of it acting as a National Entity in its own right but also hates the idea of other countries treating it as so and so china really regards this as it being in conflict with the United States one china policy and it does this visit follows a visit last month by the Health Secretary alex a czar who went to taiwan a stent simply to talk about the coronavirus but it does seem to be part of this ratcheting up of the pressure on china by using the u. S. Relationship with taiwan of course the u. S. Is often criticized for supplying arms to taiwan etc and it does seem to be part of a wider project by the u. S. State department by the United States tried to rally around all those countries that have a grievance with the increasingly assertive and belligerent Mainland China and there are an increasing number of list of potential recruits to that because of course china has faced International Condemnation for its actions in chin jang the way its treated hong kong it to the response to the coronavirus and also its territorial disputes with india and then countries around the South China Sea its a long list so there are countries of the United States is trying to rally around really to push back it seems to try to isolate and pressure internationally china and were seeing an equally robust response from china that doesnt want to be bullied like this hates the idea of being isolated like this and will take response a robust response as weve seen evidence the exercises this friday right rob thank you very much.
