-taiwan relationship. coming up very shortly we will be hosting our inaugural annual symposium on september 14th and this is going to be our flagship event. we're expecting a large turnout of people within government as well as academia and think-tank experts who are interested in taiwan. the purpose of the annual symposium is to establish a baseline on how we assess the u.s.-taiwan relationship. and so if you're not already registered, please do so on our website. last, but not least we also have a fellowship program where we encourage taiwanese as well as american scholars who are interested to conduct field research in taiwan and respectively for taiwanese scholars to come to the united states to do research related to the u.s.-taiwan relationship. before i begin today's program, i also would like to acknowledge some of the important guests that we have in the room. they include our counselors and our advisor, one of our advisors, richard fisher, who is in the audience here today, and last but not least

in concrete terms, china's wants to have unification with taiwan and to the extent that taiwan is not reunited with china the chinese communist party is not able to follow through on one of its commitments, so for the communist party in china, taiwan will continue to be central point of interest. and if there were to be a crisis in taiwan, there would be quite a dilemma. in other words, if something were to occur, the united states would be able to guarantee the energy route and what can we do during times of peace, the indian ocean and other areas need to be paid attention to and so this taiwan dilemma has quite a lot of different implications. and if the united states had a less of a presence in our neighborhood, this would -- effect us quite a lot and we would need to not only have deterrence but also to be able to exercise control. if ships had to go around taiwan, it would be quite inconvenient and so we think of what it is that we can do to cooperate with the united states in order to deal with any issue that might occur in taiwan. >>translator: the taiwan issue, i think japan w

taiwan relation. it is still a kid just like a japan taiwan relation. the one who calls the taiwan country has to have some penalty. when they have to call it territory. however actually there is significant impact if everything happens between china and taiwan. so we really do have to have a good exercise remind. >> i think this would probably be the last question. i'd like to go back to the beginning with the challenges other than defense equipment and policy that japan faces. like aging population, very strict fiscal pressure. nonmilitary challenges that japan has when it comes to thinking about japan's defense for the future. in a sense in the united states also we have been going through time with defense budget cut, sequestration has been put in effect. we have not seen that yet but it could come back depending on how the budget negotiation goes. more and more especially since the beginning of the trump administration there is an increased level of discussion that u.s. allies should not only do more, but provide more resources for its own defense.

taiwan obviously is a predominately export dependent nation. the question is, what can policymakers do to support this? one of those is the infrastructure spending bill. that has now been pushed through. that is more than 100 billion taiwan dollars in spending the government will put towards improving railways, building up their digital infrastructure, boosting wind power. they hope over the coming fears that it will be the main driver for economic growth in taiwan. --di: i was a pleasure always a pleasure. coming up, donald trump agrees to sell south korea arms worth billions of dollars. we will take an assessment of the probability of war. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ >> the u.s. ambassador to the united nations says north korea is begging for war with its latest test. nikki haley called for the strongest possible sanctions on the regime, telling the security council that the u.s. wants a september 11 vote on new measures. president trump spoke with the south korean president moon to pressure the north with all means at their disposal. not best

but first: we start in taiwan, where in the last couple of hours, smartphone maker, htc, has struck a billion—dollar deal with alphabet, the company behind google. shares in the taiwanese company were suspended on reports google was planning a take—over of the firm. instead it is buying the mobile phone part of the company, leaving htc to carry on with its other projects like virtual reality headsets. let me give you some background to this. htc used to be one of the world's top smartphone makers, mixing it with apple and samsung. back in 2011 it had over 10% of the global market. today, the brand's market share has collapsed to barely 1%, as rivals from mainland china have pushed it out. importantly, though, it makes devices for google, like the pixel smartphone. the deal could help google ramp up its hardware production to compete better with apple. let's talk to our north america technology correspondent, dave lee. he's in san francisco this was on the deal we were expecting when trading was suspended yesterday. we thought they would be a buyout of at least a part of htc. inste

assemblers in taiwan also in focus. they also derive half of their revenue from apple. pegatron falling for a third straight session, the lowest since may. apple forecasted to ship 100 of the units next-generation iphone the second half of 2017 alone. with this iphone upgrade cycle, some component makers may be left out in the cold. we have the ship from lcd to oled, helping the likes of samsung sdi, which is ready to roll out those oled panels. we do have lg display and japan display trying to play catch-up by trying to be oled by 2019. japan display has been embarking on a costly turnaround to make that leap. flash memory chip suppliers, toshiba, sk hynix, and some son is a key rival of apple, releasing its note eight this week. the company said it will not let apple affect its business timetable. david: we are looking at a are. when you look at the features on that phone. -- at ar. i'm guessing which suppliers in asia will benefit from this, if any? sophie: deutsche bank estimates that a $14 billion market for 3-d sensing hard or will be created by 2020. beenreferred

taiwan, same thing. you're overfishing our oceans. you're overhunting everything hat's on land to kill. they have to get more wood to burn fires. host: ok, al, let mleaf it there, only because i want to point our viewers to the vice president mike pence, as he is on his way to events of 9/11, particularly he is headed to shanksville, pennsylvania, to participate in those events there. that's one of the three ceremonies we will show on you c-span today. you go to our website, you can find out more about when, not only in shanksvie, pennsylvania, where the vice president will participate, but new york city and the pentagon, too. so as we show you that, we will go to o next call. this is mary jane. she's in massachusetts, ndependent line. caller: i am really concerned abt the attitude of the woman fr michigan, here on the day , 9/11 and the horror, storms storms in florida and texas. she has no feeling in her hea affe thishe's just going on who's rich and who's not rich. when i was a child, i heard a story about a group of people with ex

the analogy is like taiwan and mainland china. taiwan is obviously something that beijing talks about all the time, they aspire to reunify the country, but they are not willing to take steps to do it, and that gives the u.s. reason to do with china. the same question applies to north korea. if kim jong-un is in the broader sense committed to unification, that is ok. the south koreans want unification ultimately as well. but the u.s. will not relinquish its support for south korea by removing troops. or by removing itself from that alliance. so they have to be absolutely sure before they begin to make concessions to north korea that they are not setting themselves up for the day when they discover north korea has sought to invade south korea. i will tell you right now, i think that the view broadly felt is that he is most likely looking for self-defense. he is not looking for the conditions by which he could re-invade south korea immediately. and that means there may be opportunity to come up with a combination. charlie: you say in
