But, will Beijing really invade Taiwan? Astutely, Corbin interviews Frank Huang of Powerchip Technology Corp, one of the many Taiwanese companies that makes the island the world centre for computer chips. Of the world’s advanced superconductors, 90% are made here. “Your car, your refrigerator, your PC – without Taiwan, it won’t work,” says Huang. Huang’s corollary? China dare not invade, since any war would threaten to destroy this most valuable of industries, whose lucrative secrets Beijing covets. She motivates and manages teams in many countries and complex logistical situations.er work means she has consistently delivered in the most difficult and dangerous of circumstances while upholding the highest journalistic and ethical standards. She has reported and written for more than 100 documentaries for Panorama and the BBC However, according to Roberta Corbin, Jane “was at time about five years of age, winning in her ways, and the pet and darling of the whole [Second Corps] staff. Indeed, she was beloved by all our army friends.”

Jane is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society; a four-time winner of the Royal Television Society Award and Emmy nominee. The implication is clear: the rest of the world would do well to keep out of this domestic affair. Happily, history tells us, if nothing else, the world won’t listen to his advice.In 1999 she worked on three programmes about the war in Kosovo and carried out the first in-depth investigation into the atrocities in the villages of western Kosovo. Jane is regarded as one of the foremost commentators on al-Qaeda. Since 1998 she has made many films on al-Qaeda - investigating their activities from the Sudan to the US, the Philippines and Bali. In 2002 her book The Base: In search of al-Qaeda was published. Reporter Jane Corbin takes viewers inside Taiwan, the small island state just off the coast of China, which is at the heart of a struggle between two nuclear powers – China and the United States. A struggle which some experts believe could make it the most dangerous place on earth. It showed men herded into houses...bags and belongings in piles - but the following pictures were edited out. It showed women and children on buses and the famous shots of the Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic patting children on the head and smiling while his soldiers gave the kids sweets. Jane joined the BBC in 1988 as a reporter on Panorama. She was the first UK journalist to film widely in Cambodia and she reported on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the break up of the Soviet Union.

In the months and years that followed I followed Karadzic's path of destruction as Serbian paramilitaries began a reign of terror across Bosnia and then the Bosnian Serb army surrounded the town of Srebrenica, home to many thousands of Muslims. I got into Srebrenica for a few days by sweet talking a local Serb general at the time when it was designated a UN safe haven. I saw and heard from the terrified inhabitants awaiting their fate as the Bosnian Serb army surrounded and shelled the town. I could leave my Bosnian translator told me - he and his family could not. liberal Iran - 60% of the population is under the age of 30 - that I found a rapper named 'Nobody' and a blogger named Asieh.

Taiwan is responsible for the production of 90% of the worlds most advanced chips, the ones that power all our digital devices, and any conflict or disruption in Taiwan could cause widespread global shortfalls and economic disaster. Some experts have predicted losses of over a Trillion US dollars if China was to invade Taiwan. And they don’t expect America to standby and do nothing. Taiwan looks to the US for military aid, though it remains careful and measured in its relations with its communist neighbour. Sadly, Corbin couldn’t get face time with president Xi to set out his Taiwanese policy. Instead, she has the wonderful Victor Gao, fluent yet chilling media spokesperson for the Chinese Communist party. Gao only needs a stroked cat on his lap to truly perfect his Bond villain aura, as he tells Corbin: “The future of Taiwan will never be decided by the 23 million people of Taiwan themselves. The future of Taiwan will be decided by the more than 1.4 billion on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.” Jane Phillipa Corbin, Lady Maples (born 16 July 1954) is a British journalist and film-maker who has made over a hundred documentaries mainly for the BBC and its current affairs programme Panorama.
