1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis and I'm Doug Prisner. Here

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: are the stories we're following today.

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 2: Donald Trump leads the polls as we head into the

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: Iowa caucus. Let's get more from Dan Schwartzman in New York.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: Dan Hey, Brian.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 3: According to an NBC News Des Moines Registry poll, Republican

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: presidential front runner Donald Trump does lead Nikki Haley handily

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 3: heading into Iowa caucus's Monday. The poll shows Trump with

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: forty eight percent support, Haley sitting at twenty percent. Haley,

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 3: taking part in a telephone town hall, says Trump isn't

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: the right choice.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 4: We can't be a country in disarray and a world

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 4: on fire and go through four more years of chaos.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 5: We won't survive it.

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 4: And I think a lot of that is how we

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: communicates and what happened.

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: It just sets us all in disarray. Haley was taking

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 3: part in the telephone town hall after her event was

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: canceled due to the weather. Coming in third place in

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: that poll Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at just sixteen percent.

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: While Trump does hold a commanding lead, Support for the

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 3: former president has softened slightly from fifty one percent into

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: the last poll, which is taken back in December. Meanwhile,

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds endorsed Desantus in the Republican presidential primary.

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 3: She recently sat down with Bloomberg's Sleigh Up Moss on

26
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: the inaugural episode of The Big Take DC podcast. Reynolds

27
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: doesn't think Trump has a nomination locked up.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: I don't believe the polls. The same polls told us

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: in this last election we were going to have a

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: red tsunami across the country, and that didn't happen. It

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 4: did in Iowa, it did in Florida because we did

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: what we said we were going to do and past

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 4: policies that impact the people that we serve, but it

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: wasn't the case across the country.

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 3: Here more of our interview with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: on The Big Take DC podcast, and tune in tomorrow

37

Speaker 3: CAUCUSUS at eight on Bloomberg Radio and television. The US

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: has been hit with frigid weather that sent temperatures plummeting

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: to minus five degrees in parts of the Midwest, while

42

Speaker 3: thirteen hundred flights in and out of the country were

48
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: canceled due to weather. With the possibility of a government

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: shutdown occurring January twentieth, Congressional leaders working on a renewed

50
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: stopgap funding bill to keep the government funded into March.

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: An extension plan seems to be a solution, as two

Speaker 3: staggered deadlines approach for the twelve annual government funding bills

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: are needed to be passed by January nineteenth. Remaining eight

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: have to be passed by February second. House and Senate

Speaker 3: leaders working to continue funding at existing levels until March

56

Speaker 3: first for the first four and March eighth for remaining eight.

57
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: While Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has begun procedural

58
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: steps toward a stopgap bill, Republican House Majority Leader Mike

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,559
Speaker 3: Johnson has yet to commit to one. Republican Ohio Representative

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: Jim Jordan says he wants a longer stopgap spending bill

61
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: passed April, and he also says Speaker Johnson will be

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: rejecting the border compromise. Global News twenty four hours a

63
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News. Now,

64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm Dan Schwartzman, and this is Bloomberg.

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia, Brian Curtis and Doug Krisner,

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: and we will joined by Vonnie Quinn a little bit later.

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: Now it's time for the top business and political stories

68
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: of the hour. China is warning the United States not

69
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: to interfere in Taiwan's affairs. That's after a US friendly candidate,

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Leijing Da won Taiwan's presidential election on Saturday. Lie signaled

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: that he would cooperate with China moving forward, but it's

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: unlikely that the party, the DPP, would be able to

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: restart talks with Beijing. The Communist Party demands agreement that

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Taiwan is part of China as a prerequisite for any

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: such dialogue. Talks between China and Taiwan have been suspended

76
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: over the past eight years. Kerry Brown is professor of

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: Chinese Studies at King's College, London. He thinks there's still

78
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: some room for a relationship moving forward.

79
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 6: Taiwan has for forty five percent of its trade with

80
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: China solone, there's got to be some relationship, even if

81
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 6: it's not a particularly friendly one.

82
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: Kerry Brown Beijing said that the election result will not

83
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: change Taiwan's status, and after Li's victory, President Biden repeated

84
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: that the US does not support independence for Taiwan, and

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: coming up in a few moments, we will be talking

86
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: with Ivy Quak, who is a China fellow at the

87
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: International Crisis Group for more on the Taiwan elections.

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: Well.

89
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: Financial markets may respond positively to those election results for Taiwan,

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: although as Brian pointed out, that could change if China

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: were to respond more aggressively. Bloomberg, David and Glass has

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: more from Hong Kong.

93
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 7: Local stocks, and the Taiwan dollar had already priced in

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 7: a presidential victory for the DPP and the loss of

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 7: its majority in the legislature. Experts now say that may

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 7: lead to a more centrist orientation of policies in Taiwan,

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 7: and that might provide a positive impact to financial markets.

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 7: Traders will also be watched Beijing. So far, China's reaction

99
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 7: has been relatively mild. It said only that the results

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 7: do not represent mainstream public opinion on the island. The

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 7: Taiwan dollar is expected to remain steady as it's driven

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 7: more by export trends, the tech outlook and FED policy

103
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 7: in the US. In Hong Kong, I'm David Ingless Bloomberg Radio.

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: China's financial market regulator says, you will adopt a zero

105
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: tolerance policy toward illegal behavior. Bloomberg's Juan Wong has the

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: story from Hong Kong.

107
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 8: China's regulators said it would make sure those who commit

108
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 8: crimes pay a painful price. The National Financial Regulator Administration

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 8: said it would consider revising punishment rules. Authorities also said

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 8: that with strengthen communication and coordination with China's judicial organizations,

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 8: the enhanced scrutiny is part of a deepening crackdown that

112
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 8: spans finance to health. On Friday, the PBOC also pledged

113
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 8: to enhance its market oversight via stronger punishments. Moose or

00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 8: Hong Kong and joined Wong Bloomberg Radio.

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: The US economy could soon get another massive cash infusion.

117
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: Congressional negotiators are currently talking about renewing business tax breaks

118
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: and boosting the child tax credit, and if a deal

119
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: manages to pass a deeply divided Congress, the American economy

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: could see a fiscal boost worth at least seventy billion

121
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: dollars now. Needless to say, the extra cash could boost

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: consumer spending, but some economist are saying it could also

123
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: trigger another round of inflation, and obviously that could make

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: the Fed's job a little more difficult right.

125
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: Well, to some corporate news now, Doug, we're hearing at

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: Apple is shutting down its artificial intelligence team of more

127
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: than one hundred people in San Diego. That story from

128
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrini.

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 9: Sources say the data operations annotations unit is suddenly being

130
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 9: told it's merging with similar operations in Austin, Texas, and

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 9: San Diego. Workers are being told they'll be fired if

132
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 9: they don't agree to the move. The group also has

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 9: offices in China, India, Ireland, and Spain. It's responsible for

134
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 9: evaluating if Siri hears and responds correctly in various languages.

135
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 9: Apple says everyone on the San Diego team is being

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 9: offered jobs in Texas. Apple stock has been faltering lately.

137
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 9: A Microsoft overtook Apple Friday is the world's most valuable company.

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 9: Concerned about Apple's iPhone business in China has been weighing

139
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 9: on the stock. Denise Pelgrit Bloomberg Radio.

140
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Asia. Brian Curtis and Vonnie Quinn

141
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: joins us now from New York. Our guest is Ivy Quek,

142
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: who is China Fellow at the International Crisis Group, to

143
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: take a closer look at the election. So so many

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: angles here, Ivy to talk about it will set aside

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: the geopolitics for the moment and just say that for

146
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: this moment the status quo has been maintained, but there

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: will be some differences with William Lai's victory here. I'm

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: curious how you see the Lie administration differing from perhaps

149
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: signing ones.

150
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: Well, the president elect. Lie has vowed to preserve President's

151
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: high legacy, so I would say that we will expect

152
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: to see some continuity in terms of their approach when

153
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 5: it comes to cross right relations as well as our

154
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: relations with the United States. I think what differs between

155
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 5: UH the new president and President's hie is that he

156
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: has not yet uh built uh the trust uh specifically

157
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 5: for himself, uh unlike our president HIE has that has

158
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 5: proven himself to be a very steady hand and also

159
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: practice a very moderate policy when it comes to uh

160
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 5: these uh diplomatic issues. So I think that that is

161
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: something that President elect Lie I would have to uh

162
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: will have the established really soon as he takes office.

163
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 10: What about the idea that the mandate might have been

164
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 10: like a little bit that there was just forty percent

165
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 10: of the people that voted, and that there's also now

166
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 10: a difference between who's running the country and who's running

167
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 10: parliament i e. Coalition.

168
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I think the election result is quite in

169
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 5: line with what the posts said before this, and it's

170
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: quite expected. So he did not get a majority, it's

171
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 5: only forty percent, but given that it was a tree

172
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 5: colin of flight, I would say that this is still

173
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: quite a solid result. That DPP has received a pretty

174
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 5: good support and going forward, as you said that the

175
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,599
Speaker 5: DPP does not also control the majority at the legislative

176
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 5: wiand it means that there might have to be more

177
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: consultations between the parties that might be more negotiations, and

178
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: it is true that the president might see his power

179
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: relatively uh restrained, But I would say that, uh, all

180
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 5: three parties do have some level of consensus when it

181
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 5: comes to key issues such as uh, uh you know,

182
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: maintaining a good ties with the US, so I would say,

183
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: and also strengthening the defense capability of Taiwan. So I

184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 5: would say that we shouldn't we shouldn't see to to

185
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: too much of a difficulty in maintaining some of these policies.

186
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 5: Obviously you're see more politic theatrics, but I guess, uh,

187
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: you know, in every democracy, Uh, these check out balances

188
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: are sometimes also always also a good thing.

189
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: I want to get to the China response, but I

190
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 2: I think I need to follow up. I think a

191
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: lot of Going long supporters are quite frustrated here. Even

192
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: though you say that you know the result was a

193
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 2: pretty solid result for the d p P. You have

194
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: to almost go back to the year two thousand when

195
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: James Song ran that you you had this begin to happen,

196
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: where the opposition to the d p P is divided

197
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 2: like this, Uh do you expect that to continue? What

198
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: do you think the next time around?

199
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 7: Uh?

200
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: The opposition will be able to somehow form a coalition.

201
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 5: I think this time around, we definitely see a lot

202
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 5: of this satisfaction, a lot of uh discontent towards the

203
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: DPP that is now being viewed as an establishment. So

204
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 5: a lot of these protest vote have either gone to

205
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: the K and T or the TPP, especially the TPP

206
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: for UH, who has gotten a lot of formerly DPP votes.

207
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 5: So I would say that it really depends on how

208
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: well President might like and really uh improve its policy,

209
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 5: especially it's domestic agenda to win these votes. Otherwise, I

210
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 5: think that we might continue to see uh the opposition

211
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 5: uh you know, being able to uh uh uh you know,

212
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: based on these issues, will be able to get more support.

213
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: As to whether the opposition can actually unite as one,

214
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 5: I think that that remains to be seen. I think

215
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 5: really depends on how well they can work together this

216
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 5: time around, and especially for TPP, what kind of role,

217
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 5: what kind of response that they're going to take, because

218
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: at this moment it is still unclear whether they will

219
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 5: work with the county or they could possibly also be

220
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 5: working with the BPD government more closely.

221
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 10: I know Ryan wants to ask about the China response,

222
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 10: So let's do that now in case we run out

223
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 10: of time. What kind of reaction did you have when

224
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 10: you saw the statement compared to the statement four years ago?

225
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 5: I would say that, yeah, it is a relatively bound statement.

226
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 5: I think that perhaps Beijing have also expected this result,

227
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 5: and the fact that the fact that they did not

228
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 5: win the majority UH the legislative and also you know,

229
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 5: maybe UH reduced some of Beijing's anxieties in terms of

230
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 5: UH UH the the influence of d p P. But

231
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: I also I think essentially UH, Beijing wants to keep

232
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 5: things under control. It does not want UH the tensions

233
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: to UH over over over blown because I think that

234
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: stability is what Beijing is looking for right now in

235
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 5: terms of its relations with What's interesting process.

236
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: What's interesting is that even with that mild response from China,

237
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: we we also saw a pretty mild response from la

238
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: Ching the I mean, he did not really get up

239
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: and beat the chest, did he. How do you interpret

240
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: the comments that he made after the victory.

241
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that maintaining a state school is really

242
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 5: the prefer way forward for the Taiwanese populations. So UH,

243
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: I think that UH there is UH this understanding UH

244
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 5: that going forward there needs to be more uh you know,

245
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: more moderation, and uh there needs to be that, uh

246
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: that both parties need to fight, both sides need to

247
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 5: find a way to resume dialogues because uh it is

248
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: not sustainable for for both sides to to continue.

249
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 10: Uh.

250
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 5: These are very tense relations where there's almost known dialogues

251
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: have happened in the past eight years. So uh I

252
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: think that for the next new government, Uh, there needs

253
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: to be also more effort to seek a nature understanding

254
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: with Beijing so that uh, you know, the crustrated dialogue

255
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 5: can resume.
