Nancy Pelosi meets with Taiwanese President

U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi meets with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen

U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s meets with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-web as tensions with China soar.

Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan has created a storm of controversy, and captivated the world’s attention.

The third highest-ranking American official is leading a Congressional delegation on a tour of the Indo-Pacific.

Pelosi has scheduled stops in Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan.

But it’s the unannounced visit to Taiwan— the independently governed Island—that’s stealing the spotlight.

Word of Pelosi’s trip did not sit well with China, as Beijing views Taiwan as part of its territory.

China considers any trip by a high-ranking American official as confirmation of U.S. support for the Island’s independence.

The U.S. does not have official relations with Taiwan — also known as the Republic of China — and maintains a One China Policy.

This policy recognises the People’s Republic of China as the legitimate successor nation.

However, America has been stepping up engagement with the Island as China seeks to isolate it from global institutions.

Shortly after Pelosi touched down, the Taiwan Bureau of Foreign Trade confirmed China  suspended imports from Taiwanese companies. 

The companies produce pastries, baked goods and sweets and the suspension appears to be a retaliatory policy meant to put pressure on the island.

The Chinese military posted a propaganda video of its troops launching missiles, grabbing weapons, and taking off in fighter jets ahead of the Speaker’s visit to the region.

Back in Washington, the Pentagon’s John Kirby said Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan doesn’t violate any sovereignty issues.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
