the mind we are here on please find your mind. so all of the topics i'm much up to you from couple fixed a new culture. and in 15 minutes, let's say together, parts of our community life on the surface of this research is now on the top. you're watching your data point, your new size coming up to die, a chance to ease frosty relation spot. we'll do it by the end and shooting pink tank it. the leaders of the to rival superpowers are expected to steal the spotlight during talks. i think it takes so much in san francisco. you will find out what's on their agenda. plus some positively good news from the philippines. these feisty little field lines being recruited as security guards and they doing a perfect job. the

welcome to dw, and you guys honoured rate, it's great to have your company today. it's one of the world's most important relationships. the one between economic superpower is the us and china. but that relationship hasn't been going well for some time now mocked by suspicion, distrust, competition, and hostility. so could there be a chance to reset things? well, thank you with some chinese presidents, joy bite, and then shooting, paying a jury to hold highly anticipated talks at the summit to all of the asia pacific economic cooperation for a pick. that summit begins this weekend in san francisco. she hasn't been to the us since 2017 on the to latest. haven't seen each other in person. for here. in a moment i'll be speaking with a g or political strategist about that talks. but 1st, he's a quick reminder of where things stand right now. and this was the last time the

leaders of the 2 rivals, superpowers met a year ago at the g. 20 meeting involved the much has changed since that as the white house prepares for this long awaited summit between presidents abiding and she, it knows that it will be taking place against a geo political backdrop that has shifted significantly since the last time the 2 men met the u. s. is now dealing with 2 wars, not just one. and it has every interest in preventing its most adversarial relationship from getting any more hostile. this includes tackling hold overs from past diplomatic disputes by say, resuming military to military dialogue that was suspended after a visit from then us house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan, angered china. another low point in relations for us. take down of a chinese bible luna earlier this year, following months of diplomatic fire fighting. analysts say the current climate has made it even more important for the us to minimize the chances of mishaps leading

to more attention saved and paying will undoubtedly want to talk about taiwan. president biden remains firmly committed to defending taiwan and he wants to strengthen deterrence to make sure that system ping doesn't miscalculate and that he understands if he tries to use force against taiwan. there will be a great cost for china, but at the same time, i think that he wants to convey the siege and paying that the united states supports peaceful resolution of the differences between the $2.00 sides of the straight through dialogue that it does not envision that the outcome of this is necessarily going to be an independent taiwan, but stabilizing communication won't be biden's only aim in san francisco. it's also expected that he will ask she to use his influence on iran to help prevent an expansion of the conflict in the middle east. something both washington and aging

are keen to avoid. the china would not want to see a widening of this conflict. it depends on the middle east for about 50 percent of its energy and would not want to put that in jeopardy. and so they actually have an interest in preventing that water from widening if they think that that's unlikely, then they probably will not act. but if they see that risk is growing, then perhaps paging will at 8 back whatever she invite in achieve or don't achieve with the talks, it's the talking itself that both sides want to use to project a concerted effort to manage the world the most difficult. but arguably, most important bilateral relationship felina check a right is a geo political strategist and found the consultancy for a consist experience. welcome to the w, use eyes that piece we just saw. discussed really how important it was for the us

to minimize bilateral tensions with china. and certainly not let them get any worse . do you think that is as important to see doing things as well? oh, absolutely. of course, the bilateral relationship between united states and china, especially when it comes to trades and economic ties is at the core of disability over the career and global economic system. so obviously both sides have a very strong interest in start the lising, the ties, and actually providing for internal validity. it's cold, of course, both actors, united states in china have a different agenda right now with the us preparing for the election year. but uh, on the sides of china, we of course have a very strong interest which is to stabilize the economy and tools tier, the economic and chain at home. a given the rather dire situation, which of course,

from the perspective of decision pink is the most important. if we stay on these economic ties, how does sees desire to kick start time is economy square off against the fact that us strategy really isn't focused on economic cooperation with the china, but rather competition yes, of course we know for a fact that the binding ministration has introduced this kind of tree see approach, which you said to the wrong competition, confrontation and collaboration. uh and obviously the collaboration part is the scarce one, mostly focusing on climate issues and global health problems. but let's take a look at the china, china's priorities, and here what we may expect is actually a focus on the terrorists on chinese quotes and which were in post under section 3

. 0, one of us trade low. we have also the semi conductor band, i mean, 2nd semi conductors are going to be a big, big issue in the light to roll. and also in the multi electoral track, the total weight investment of restrictions and discrete minute 3 subsidies that are put under us leg station. i think that these are actually main priorities next to of course the sanctions against chinese companies. so this would be probably the package that china is going to touch upon in the bilateral conversations with the us counterparts. and what about military to military cooperation? of course, this is the 2nd to most important track could next to the track on economic and trade ties. we've seen a lot of activities in the last months when it comes to a high ranking, bilateral meeting so covering the economic and the trade dies. but let's not forget

that we have a very dire situation when it comes to the lack of military to military communications . and i think that these specific uh, meeting between uh, by the next season being we'll actually seek to restore the maybe to re communication channels. why? because we see that the, there is a rise of mandatory escalation and so i was trying to see in the straight to die one. and of course, both the sites one to prevent any miscalculation and want to also decrease the risk of uh, lets say um a certain behavior that may result in uh for your escalation and the reach that would, that leads me to my next question. how much time and focus do you expect bite, and then she to spend talking about tie one as well. of course. uh, type one is uh, um, from,

from us perspective tie one is so very, very picky show and it will very much depend also on who's going to win the presidential election. because we know for a fact that even though there is a quite a bipartisan support for tie, one coming from both parties, we have very different views on the matter when it comes to the us approach to tie one. and of course, there is also a very split to view on whether china may monitor the attack type one or not in the next few years. so here i think that the tie one itself is that you should will not be really on the agenda because of the sensitivity when it comes to, uh, you know, the china, us reaction and i think that the bite and then the restriction will be really eager to restore as much of the bilateral dialogue as possible in various domains as a set. so i do not expect to tie one will be really big issue in the conversations

to political strategist, felina tech a river. thank you so much for your insights. we really appreciate it. thank you very much. now it's well known how dogs often play a key role in policing and security worldwide. just think of the last time you were at an airport and may be sore, a sniff, a dog. but what about all the animals like cats? well, and you and very cubes approach to the idea of poor patrol is happening in the philippines . he is more on the prowse and ready to spring into action. this is cody, on the latest member of the security team, at the worldwide corporate center in manila, rescued from the buildings. cobb park when just a few weeks old. now it's 6 months old. he's proving to be perfect recruits from helping to keep his human colleagues in line demonstrating his lightning
