Well those who support Taiwan Independence playing with via and well get the those. The words of warning coming from chinas top diplomats were speaking of to the 3rd day of the National Peoples congress. So you got 2 more years off the one china principal is already a bit of a international consensus. Those who can help and support. So i once independence or just challenging china, southern and see certain countries that still in system maintaining official relationship with die. One, just in to see it in, in chinas internal affairs, the stronger the commitment to the 12 and the principal, the great is a guarantee for these across the street will be which is whoever engages inside when hes independence on the island. Will be held accountable by history, whoever in the world and knives and supports i once independence will get boned for playing with for you, and sees the bit the fruit of their own doing. Obviously, today, the most important in the event of all, i would say is the press conference a given by chinese for administer as well as a member all the political, the role of ctp, c, c, p. C, central committee, mr. Wong e. Well, during bad, nearly to our press briefing he has touched, he has colored a wide range of issues and he has touched about chinas relation. So with that, the United States we, they European Union with, of course, weeds of russia. And also he as had touch it, a pound of china and a stance on a tie. One issue last, i wont flush of which he has written each rated. Thatd be tie one east part of china and a 68. 00 in the world. Part of the chinese territory. Well, you mentioned that obviously the Foreign Policy plans were also hearing the pool. Its the china could become a mediator in the world between russia and ukraine, searching its diplomatic cloud has been growing in recent years. How long did you say about is yeah, i think the of the one of the reasons trigo to why, you know, theres a lot of talk stuff aging can. You can again act as a piece may for a p p s. Both the worlds are key space or to an to, you know, to, to help bring the piece back in between a rush. And that you can, i think part of the reason is because the world has when this, that b j has successfully mediated every push month between rivalries are between saudi arabia and iran. Your last year. And also, you know, had the press briefing. One you has written each a rated that china has the old china has done is to push for peace tops of russia. China relations was a topic, a t one that came up during the press conference with the for administer. Very famously, of course, the know limits partnership, one of the prospect through tonight for the near future, the both of them has to be each array that the china stands on. Russia is based on not alliance, non non compensation and non targeting of 3rd parties. And this is which on has to be but basically has repeatedly saying this a stance which is on china, russian comprehensive, Strategic Partnership and coordination for the new id a have been moving forward on a high level Political Mutual trust is deepening and cooperation remains mutually beneficial and complimentary to each other or just sides will strengthen International Multi logical cooperation, implement genuine multilateralism. Saved god the system of International Relations with the central role of the United Nations and maintain regional and Global Security and stability. So thats the press conference, so gave them by trying this for a mr. Wong e, which has been closely watched of from a home and abroad not only for us reporters, but also china watchers and other people across the globe that was senior fellow from the t institution telling the time in Police Washington is concerned about chinas Strong Economy is because it views it as a threat to its hedge, many china is the number one trade partner for over a 120 different countries. China is creating a new type of alternative, not trying to supply and the us, but simply providing a stable alternative which allows countries to trade directly in their own currency. Thereby bypassing the risks of the us dollar multiple air. And he is already here. Whether thats something that uh, somehow escapes washington, theyre still hanging onto this idea that the United States, as a sole hedge, a monic power to us, is no longer interested in what it preaches. They were for the rule of law in the international order, is something that is just for the us to use when it feels like it to preach to other countries, but not to practice. So at this point, many countries are trying to figure out what the alternatives are. China is providing one breaks, might well provide another russia obviously is going its own way as it is either on and any other country thats affected by utilize for what moves by the us. Well meanwhile, taiwan spartan ministry has been left red faced and having to issue a 14 ruffling apology. Thats off the labor minister during the discussion on the possible recruitment of engine migrant space. But take you lower attention to this skin color, eating habits.

Because of the people from ne india are the 1st to have similar eating habits to us regardless of their skin color. And then again, most of the people over there are christians, regardless of whether they are in manufacturing, construction or agriculture. No. Yeah, it would be important to on the line here is that relationship between india and die won . This relationship in particular has been warming up in the last few years. And of course now with these remarks, we not really sure. India hasnt reacted as you add in the industry fixed on the fans. But what we see is a huge lot of reactions on social media. People are upset, leasing the common need by so i want leave them in the star. Ive a very, very insensitive taiwan is. India is important. Geo political partner such a racist comments would only downgrade people to people, relation taiwan should refrain from such comments. No clarification can justify the racist. An anti indian ideology of taiwan. Taiwan needs to educate its public, the radicalized society address issues of racism, and communal is and make it more inclusive, imperialistic. If the ministry of Foreign Affairs of taiwan ever faces a problem and asks india for support, do tell them that we will only support the tie when hes that have dark skin color.

Now this is the similar situation that were seeing in, in the particular region in china and japan and south korea, and which is why the need to hire more migrant people.

I mean theres different prices across because of the trip in the north. I think this out for different reason makes people the, the vast majority of the populations attorney displaces all the gases check over 1300000 people at the space and rough govern government rates, which it presents only 20 percent of the total space because they can have access to with items, but they are extremely expensive, thatd be average family doesnt, cannot afford to buy who is already your basis, but its an tables. Theres even no tables as think of the most 11th tens of the streets and the sidewalks.

I mean and be as the i seriously have not been able to access the north for some time for, for, for a long time. Now to be that sense of the necessary events to its guaranteed special for. Ready the tech emissions we have wasnt that some of the boys got to open fire fat and this is not. Ready a working environment that even to try and scan cheese the content response Natural Gas Prices in europe, a creeping up again as cold as unexpected weather is forcing up the demand. And it comes against already existing concerns about whether theyll be enough gas in the tanks in the future. Next, the, the, you plans to stop buying russian supplies, which are transited through ukraine. O. D u has no interest in prolonging the trilateral agreement with russia. The focus should now be on supporting ukraine and on how to best use its Gas Infrastructure and storage in the future. Integrating it further in the u energy market. So basically brussels in t evarado sale though together in the middle of the ocean with no landed site and considering setting fire to the sale. Thats what this idea theyre still leave with stopping in ports, impression gas transmitted through ukraine to the you really would be a 5 Year Agreement expires at the end of this year. Were talking about a sweet deal that puts a good 1. 00 to 1. 00 and a half 1000000000. 00 a to keeps pockets on an annual basis. Not only died, but it was that you prayed. Yes, rushing gas itself from the supply that it transits into the you and then reverse is that . Yeah, you heard that, right . You can get gas from russia while going around demanding that everyone else stop by rushing gas, one Washington State tank. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said that if you can cut you off from washing gas bench. Yeah, weve been asked to quote by gas from austria, which is a country thats an intersection of various pipelines from a bunch of different places. Pay for its trends that true slovak yeah, and then organize its delivery from the western border to the center of ukraine, where the consumption is concentrated and all this added cost of 30. 00 to 40. 00 more for 1000 cubic meters of gas. It does now just by reversing back the flow of the russian gases sends into europe. Meanwhile, over the u officials are doing their usual routine of trying to repress ukraine by making more demands of its citizens and industry. Thanks to the political agreement, the chief today and the Council Members states are encouraged to continue reducing their gas consumption until 34 is march 2025 by at least 15 percent compared with their average gas consumption in the period from 1st and april 2017 to 31st march 2022. So you might be wondering where is that figure come from this belt tightening of exactly 50 percent that the you and asking for . Well, it just so happens that the, you at 2023 was still importing 15 percent of its gas from russia. Now, while thats down from the 45 percent, that russian gas comprised of its pipeline imports before the conflict in ukraine. It still like how this is shocked to people who are actually listening to brussels. Brag about how they were sticking it to russian president , buying or put in by depriving him of energy or use that they were still importing any russian pipeline gas. But all now add to that, the, the n g, a global witnessed route 40 last year, that the really just pivoted from importing pipeline rushing gas to incorporating russian liquefied natural gas with russian elegy imports into the you jumping 40 percent. Since the onset of the complex, even more than that, each of the previous 2 years. And ukraine well, sounds like is calling the shots. We say that if our partners do not have time to reformat their supply sources and have to turn to russia next year as well, it will be their decision. We will provide such a service. However, it should be made clear that 2027 is a deadline. For them, and they have made appropriate commitments to completely stop using russian gas. Yeah. Maybe brussels to just do whatever you credit tells it to do because thats worked out super well so far. Or maybe they should just keep the newest recruit to their clam to distracted with things like the smoke in the ears routine. Theyre slight of hand.
