thing that he cares about a xi jinping. he needs to be atop the ccp and the ccp needs to be central, needs to be in charge of china. so if we talk about primacy of china and indo pacific region being one of those goals if it comes into direct conflict potentially play a xi jinping being the number one paramount leader i know which one will win out. we have to create the situation where the cost benefit for him as such that he recognizes he can't have both and he should probably opt for one. that would be the one that is the peace. >> 100%. number one the communist party needs to be a vanguard leading the country and third how do i achieve that? or objective is to create a ability to achieve that is consistent with ours. >> i think everybody agrees even the people the regional vision is one in which they are the suns and everything orbits around them whereas we would like to see a situation which in jupiter is very big but not the center of gravity. i'm increasingly persuaded that that's not only the regional vision of the g

january 6, 2021 when xi jinping's best day in office. when the united states degrades its own democracy on the world stage for people all over to it as it undermines our ability to lead and the power of our example. what kind of example are we setting when former administrations take the side of dictators? what can of example are resetting your former boss, the likely presidential dominate of your party is promising to be a dictator? mr. pompeo, , you write regimesn moscow tehran pyongyang all owe their continued existence of chinese communist party. uams that prior to the invasion of screen picky descriptiveness quote very capable end quote and said you quote the enormous respect for him. also missing from your marks these regimes have an ally in donald trump. just this month donald trump praised kim jong-un's at about the natural for them to misquote a tough, smart guy. while in office he considered meeting with moderna and second-guess his own administrations recognition of venezuelan legitimate president. you reject its own intellige

what we talk about constantly is we can't get into the mind of xi jinping, although xi jinping we believe based on his writings and speeches which we have become very familiar with is a committed ideolog, his hero, he wants to be a mao. so the question that i'm constantly asking, will he change course and what would it take to change his course? and so, what are the-- the combination of carrots and sticks that might alter a course of going from economic aggression to something different, going from technological aggression to something different? going from military aggression to something different? and so, i think conducting high level diplomacy is essential. i think that doing what we have talked about and that got incorporated into our national defense authorization act, which is policy to increase deterrents is essential. however, we've got to hedge our bets and what i mean by that is, you know, if some day, if some day there's a way that xi jinping decides he is going to move more aggressively than he is right now, how would we handle that? and what would we do? and how would we wor

and how much can we say this is xi jinping's fault personally?problems with the chinese economy also sit with the lack of confidence, growing lack of confidence, in china's economy. and a lot of that falls right at the feet of xi jinping because a lot of that sits with, for example, the disappearance of chinese billionaires. a few years ago we sanack ma, who was china's richest man, disappear for a few months into chinese detention. he's since basically withdrawn from most parts of the chinese business sector. most recently, we've seen that with the chinese billionaire banker bao fan. he disappeared a year ago without much warning at all. just a week or so ago, we heard reports, his official announcement that he's also withdrawn from all of his business positions, citing health reasons, which most people doubt! you know, when you're an investor, either a chinese investor or a foreign investor, and you're seeing billionaire bankers, the big deal—makers in china, disappear, you can understand that it's the party that's in charge, it's not the entre

so perhaps more telling is what xi jinping and senor play have to say. they are often harshly critical. they publicly the entire play for not being good enough for suffering from disease, for not conducting realistic and rigorous enough training. they keep emphasize saying that the objective is not simply to fight the objective it is to fight and win. keep in mind talking about a party navy strictly speaking this is not a national navy. the pla navy is an element of the armed wing of the chinese communist party and xi jinping never them forget that he and senior uniformed leaders never fail to mention that loyalty to the party is paramount. officers and sailors alike are required to study be tested on xi jinping. in short the pla. navy is expected to completely in reliability role reliably red as well as proficient in combat at sea. the final point i would make is the shared command between the ship the warships captain and the ship's political is a potential wicked one that is foreign to the western tradition of naval command. and because in this case t

after the zero covid policy which was an utter disaster, xi jinping changed course. i think it's time for him to change course again right now because right now he's seeing his economy kind of enter a stage where they've got to be concerned about the stability of their political regime and i don't know how he's going to react. >> what do you make of his trip to the u.s. last year and just the way that he, you know, met with --. >> it was all about this, morgan. it was all about calming nerves. i'm not -- i don't have illusions that they've suddenly changed their strategic goals with regard to taiwan or with regard to any of their ideological goals, but tactically they wanted to calm investors nerves. that's why this meeting with joe biden was so important to them and he needed to look like he was stabilizing the relationship, okay? and i think that's also why they've entered into the mill military to military communications channel and why they're entering into the sentinel working group. that's why they are entering into that ai working group with regard to the mili

guy, i want to start with this mortal plane joe biden is made about the 17000 miles xi jin jinping. exactly critical of the biden administration has faxed checked this and said try as they might, they found it impossible to possibly out of 17000 miles joe biden could have traveled with xi jinping. >> is like a made up claim and biden makes several of those but it does seemed like there certain laws that get stuck in his head that he really won't let go of, this seems to be one, he can't quit this light apparently, for whatever reason. >> what is your big picture analysis, does he stay, does he go? >> i was wondering if i caught gavin newsom measuring the drapes. i said this before but i think the d.o.j. reports the most damaging for biden in that it muddies the watters on the indictments and direct democracy narrative when joe biden mishandled documents since the 1970s and you have the money of the walrus in fulton county as well and that is the biggest attack the democrats have against donald trump and now it's not as solid anymore if you look at joe biden, he copy age thing, he sa

because it makes it less likely that xi jinping uses forces when it comes to taiwan but also spending a fraction of the budget together with european allies we have enabled ukraine to destroy substantial parts of russian fighting power. it is in our interest to ensure putin does not win and what china may learn if he wins in ukraine. it's important the u.s. take a position on supporting ukraine. [applause] >> do you want to elaborate? >> i would agree with the secretary-general. i think the world is polarizing between these authority and dictators -- authoritative in dictators, they are the ones trying to up and the system we created since world war ii which led to this piece and prosperity. they are trying to change that and that's where it's up to us in the world that we see these values that are so important we have these democracies that allow people to get that peace and prosperity to work together to oppose that. the rule -- the world has changed. the piece we've had since the soviet union collapsed in the 1990's, that's gone. it's good to be a very dangerous world for the next

xi-jinping's claims over taiwan. >> but all come soon. i'm not sure it is recent >> softball interview with tucker carlson carlson, putin justified his brutal war in ukraine, invoking historical grievances and nationalism. >> suddenly the ukrainian soldiers were screaming it from bear in russian, perfect russian saying to the russians, do not surrender and all of them perished because they use, they still identify themselves as russian >> putin, glossing over the facts, thousands of ukrainians have died defending their democratic homeland from putin, his army, which is also suffered huge losses for tiny territorial gains xi jinping echoes putin's narrative, consistently framing china's claim over taiwan through a lens of historical entitlement, national rejuvenation through whelan, people on both sides of the taiwan strait, a chinese and share a natural affinity and national identity built upon kinship and mutual assistance. this is a fact that can never be changed by anyone or any force with hawkeye been >> here in taiwan poll after poll

one china policy they will use statements including from xi jinping. making these statements that it used washington as provoking and they say using taiwan as a cart to contain china and suppress. that's beijing's perspective. there have been two major flash patriots that have really created -- i think a deterioration in cost relaxation. the first one is the august 222 visit. and then speaker policy. much more strongly than they anticipated me. they held the largest military experiences in decade and significantly closer to taiwan, they took great moves. to send a signal of beijing's displeasure with that. diplomatically beijing also canceled or suspended key areas of dialogue and relations were only revived in the last couple of months after the biting chief summit in san francisco so there was over one year where tensions were still really high between the u.s. and china because of the taiwan issue. the second flashpoint i would highlight is last april taiwan's president with speaker mccarthy, held military exercises, took less provocative steps, did

as for russia -china, as xi jinping said during the meeting in spokane with the prime minister of russia, mishustin, to support, i quote, and to develop sino-russian relations well is a strategic choice made by both sides on the basis of fundamentals. interests of the two peoples, our strategic partnership with china has a history dating back to the summer of 2011, when it was the last visit of the president of the people's republic of china to ukraine, and when the declaration on its strategic relations was signed partnership, followed by the visit of the president of ukraine. and there the relevant document was signed regarding the development of these relations, until in the 13th year the president of ukraine went again, then yanukovych was in beijing and signed, as we call it in diplomacy, a big agreement, this is an agreement on friendship and cooperation, which concerns these relations , which have now developed between russia and china, in principle there is nothing for ukraine, in my opinion. to be very worried, because despite all the current information flows, china is not a th

that's what you would tell xi jinping.es, you know, that's kind of bland, freedom, something that china doesn't know anything about. or doesn't want to trample. >> oh, yeah, you know, china is the enemy of freedom around the world. not just in china. but is trying to stifle freedom in our country and elsewhere. you know, and biden, he brags about he spent more time with xi jinping than any other american. if that's the case, why are our relations with china so tense? why is china acting so belligerently? i think it's because they have seen biden and they realize that, first of all, they own him. that's what the chinese think. and, also, i think that they believe that he just does not have the right attitudes towards defending america. he just doesn't care about defending our country. look at the migrants surging across our borders from china, including the soldiers. biden couldn't care less. >> laura: so 20,000 chinese come across the border, why would xi take biden seriously? can you imagine 20,000 americans crossing into

xi jinping thinks it is speculators.superstitious going into the year of the dragon. sentiment is not very good. business people who are not affected will be like ok, my business would not be good. at some point he has to be very concerned. fairly stabilization and then perhaps up or range bound. haidi: even the year of the dragon may not help. shuli ren is our bloomberg opinion columnist. looking at political headlines, xi jinping told vladimir putin that they need to work together to oppose foreign interference. the leaders said they would promote joint energy projects despite sanctions led by the u.s.. relations between them have grown in the two years that russia launched its invasion of ukraine. the u.s. supreme court is poised to keep donald trump on election ballots. justices have questioned whether the colorado supreme court has the power to exclude him on the grounds of insurrection. he is seeking a ruling that would and the push to keep him off the ballot. sticking to politics, indonesians head to the polls cho

they have increasingly used statements including from xi jinping the taiwan is in the core of china'score interests. making these statements that used washington, provoking, using taiwan as a card to contain china and press china. that's beijing's perspective. i think there been two major flash points in the last year and 1/2 that have really created a deterioration in relations and us/china relations as well and the first as many of you are familiar the august 2022 visit to taiwan by nancy pelosi. china responded much more strongly than i think many anticipated. they provoked the largest, held the largest military exercises in decades significantly closer to taiwan, flying ballistic missiles over taiwan, very provocative, moves by the chinese liberation army to send a signal of beijing's displeasure with that, diplomatically beijing also canceled or suspended 8 key areas of dialogue including cooperation and other areas and some of those relations were only revived or restarted in the last couple months after the november 2023 biden and xi summit in san francisco. there was long peri

maria: do you think xi jinping is directing them to come to become saboteurs at some point?feels like it that is the case it could be creating a mini army. >> certainly they are being welcomed at the southern border by the biden administration and by president biden. i cannot imagine she's jinping is sending them over here to work in restaurants or flower shops. they have got something else in mind. i don't think it's going to be good for america. maria: wow, this is something we are going to keep a spotlight on meanwhile house republicans are pushing for the biden impeachment inquiry set to question the president's son, hunter biden a closed-door deposition this upcoming wednesday. with the rearrest of the x fbi informant men calling out and stop the impeachment to say there is no evidence. >> of course they are but they did not call for the same thing when the fbi did not arrest christopher steele and the false information he allegedly got from russian intelligence. i find it striking and curious that one of the highest paid app not the highest paid informant for the fbi s

so, and and also in the last ten years under xi jinping's rule, a lot of people feel very repressed.o the number of people fleeing china has increased dauntically -- dramatically. in 2013 when xi jinping first come to power, people in china applying for political asylum in the united states was 24, 25,000. ten years to today, that number quadrupled, so there's a push factor inside china. but also the pull factor, that is united states is by par the most generous -- by far the most generous country accepting immigrants. and, of course, there's also opportunity; that is, our borders are porous, our politicians are basically in paralysis state ors, didn't know what to do, so that create a lot of opportunity for the chinese that want to get out of china. and china's also a. communist country, don't forget. it has massive security and intelligence apparatus, so this is opportunity for them to also, to exploit this open border and to getit their infiltration into the united states. so it's really a combination of many factors and also from the central american countries, most prominently e

trump yesterday and met with him for an hour and a half and he said during his term he spoke with xi jinpingis fentanyl and he said it stopped it was not flowing to the border. it was secure at the border and it wasn't the issue it is today and we see that to be true with 100,000 people dead from the poisoning in the last two years. is there anything that this administration can do to make a difference to stop it or this china believe this is weak leadership and they will roll over joe biden and his minions and not to anything to keep the promise? i'm really not optimistic about the ccp keeping promises here. >> obviously i'd be very desperate to find optimism in this. unfortunately i think the chinese communist party sees all kinds of signals that say they can get away with this and act with impunity, there are reasons why xi jinping and others thought they could get away with it with donald trump in it would be good for the rest of the country if people get aside their personal weirdness about dealing with that time in our country and say they believe they would face a penalty the matter t

xi jinping's china is a change the status quo china. that is radically different. therefore when you apply that to taiwan, the south china sea, east china sea and more broadly it brings into immediate focus the question of how do you sustain strategic stability under the circumstances, for which there are only one conceptual answer and that is what my colleagues have just said, deterrence. war fighting capability. the chinese communist party are not dumb. we can talk about deterrence as a concept, but unless they form a material conclusion that it is real, that it has got teeth, that there is substance, it has got flesh and blood attached to it, then they will not believe it. from its core in the middle of it, what do you get as americans? number one, we australians coinvest with you in your submarine industrial base. there will be a combined investment, additional investment of some $65 billion u.s. in the immediate years ahead. i've been down to groton, newport, i know what the base looks like. i know the needs in this are not just casual. the second thing you ge

. >> first about creating chaos xi jinping has taken a page out of the movement playbook and that's toese rule not domination but chinese rule of the entire world so is trying to destabilize american society and we see this not only with what they do but what they say about the united states. the trying to break up the u.s. into separate parts in trying to create the chaos in trying to interfere in our election and we know it's going on and we have a government not doing much about it. this is just wrong. maria: there are so many companies that trade in the capital market and private equity market and are tied to the military there was a piece in the ft and this is exactly what you just said chinese companies are reviving the militias. now it's going to be mandatory for chinese owned enterprises to establish people's armed forces departments therefore militarizing the companies in china, what does that mean. >> it means china is going to work, xi jinping has been mobilizing the civilians for three years and this is in preparation for war. in the article is said the experts said this is

what is present xi jinping discussing.it be more regulations on the short side braided will or be real stimulus in the right places. they haven't been successful yet. it's sort of a precursor it took them a long time to right the ship and even when equities did peak in 2020 it was far from the peak of 2015. i'm terribly not optimistic but -- jonathan: can you tell us why they've been reluctant to do that. very different approach through the pandemic, why have they been so reluctant? damian: the greatest 15 year build in leverage and debt in world history preceded what we've just witnessed. prison xi jinping is trying to do the right thing but it's become so very big. you can just think you will put on the brakes and things are knocking a break. it's the same thing with the pandemic. we never really saw that. if you look at energy demand, oil demand. china is going to be a third of new oil demand this year. they are redoing their refining industry, margins are improving. there's a lot of reasons to be bold about what's goin
