wang yi spoke out against the american strategy to contain china, in which the u.s. surrounds the prct these days, together with the philippines, they are conducting exercises near the disputed territories in the south china sea. beijing called such provocations dangerous, adding that the conflict between the united states and china will inevitably lead to loss, moreover. ksenia nekrasova anastasia, especially for ntv. at these moments in new york , the un security council is discussing the explosions of russian gas pipelines and nord stream in the baltic sea. the meeting was convened on the initiative of our diplomats, who have been trying to get western allies to leading investigations into these terrorist attacks, at least some intermediate conclusions about who is behind the explosions. joining us now from new york. alexey veselovsky, lyosh, have you managed to achieve anything at this meeting so far? well, colleagues, we don’t have to expect any sensations today, this is because, as russian permanent representative to the un vasily nebendya noted, precisely because the investigat

yes, ideally the u.s. and the prc would be, at a government to government level, participating constructively in that. trump kind of accelerates the degree to which we have to take more agency. >> thank you, ben, for that. we are going to move to questions. veronica, this may be useful for you, but for anyone, please, chime in. the first question, from one of our students here, is a majority of americans, especially young people, currently oppose u.s. foreign policy on gaza. but it remains unchanged. how can we make our foreign policy making process more democratic? veronica: i think it is very important, the politics from below, to change also foreign policy to open up spaces of change. for example, i want to make an example, a couple of weeks ago, milei was here with elon musk. the part of the conversation was about the concern from elon musk about the declining population and the threat of abortion politics. we can see how our struggles for abortion rights nowadays come from part of the patriarchal reac

haidi: u.s.reasury secretary janet yellen wrapping up four days of talks in china with a warning against any moves to bolster russia's military capacity. our chief north asia correspondent stephen engle joins us for more. i think janet yellen got across the points she wanted to make. arguably we not have seen much of a reaction in terms of progress being made from the chinese side. but how do you rate the impact fullness of this trip, i guess? stephen: by the way, this is her second trip to china in the past nine months, so that is a good sign that they are talking. but deliverables are hard to measure obviously when you are trying to build up trust between two, i would say, competitive adversaries in the global space in many different realms. so, janet yellen was there, and we already kind of knew that she would go to beijing in her four day visit and talk about excess capacity, particularly in new industrial efforts by xi jinping. i will get to that any minute. she capped off the trip yesterday

that's why it was so weird to have u.s.ss leaders in china applauding the leadership of the prc, having all had their -- i can't tell you as chief of staff how many of those individuals were talking about trade secrets being stolen or being forced to hand over all the family jewels so they can get access to the market. and yet, china is discovered and by our own fbi and intelligence agencies, actually spreading misinformation in the united states. >> you're making the argument against doing business with china. >> i'm making the argument that you're very clear with china. and the fact is that you'll continue down that road, here are going to be the consequences. this is what you do before you take this next step. >> i agree with you 100%. >> number two, let me just ask, what does that mean for american businesses. american businesses can't go and do that. a ceo can't go and say, the administration has to do that. >> that's right. and the united states has to be clear with u.s. businesses. we understand, that's a market. the

haslinda: that was u.s.ury secretary janet yellen wrapping up her talks in china with a warning against any moves to boost russia's military capacity. stephen engle joins us now for more right now. how receptive was beijing to janet yellen's criticism of excessive industrial capacity? stephen: there were a couple of prickly issues janet yellen brought up. and that quote about russia's letteri capacity and the potential aiding of that from beijing. there are no allegations but just a warning. the treasury department telegraphed both for janet yellen went for this visit to beijing and that was the concern that subsidies from the government in two priority industries essentially new energy vehicles, high-capacity batteries and solar equipment will eventually flood the world with cheaper products as china works off its excess capacity and excess inventories at a time when the chinese domestic economy is sputtering and not soaking up that mistake manned. xi jinping highlighted at the national people's congress pu

tiktok officials like to insist that u.s. users' personal information, browsing histories, keys keystrokes, and other sensitive data are kept out of the reach of the prc's teams of sensors -- sensors and prop -- censors and propag propagandists. they claim what it shows young americans is what they want to see, not what the prc wants them to think. but the company's own words sha shatter this fantasy -- quote, everything is seen in china. that's the truth tiktok officials are willing to admit in a leaked recording from behind closed doors, doors, and it shouldn't be all that surprising anyway. chinese law requires that t tiktok's beijing-based parent company coordinate closely where the prc. all sorts of social media platforms can be fountains of disinformation and propaganda. just look at last week's news about the prc's efforts to manipulate taiwan's elections, with twitter accounts driven by a.i. but with tiktok, we're not talking about meddling or h hijacking an american platform. in this case, prc influence and control h

haidi: u.s.ury secretary janet yellen wrapping up for days of talks with a warning against moves to bolster russia's military capacity. stephen engle joins us for more. modestly set expectations, how would you assess whether it was a successful trip? stephen: success is a difficult one to measure in this case. janet yellen had an agenda to bring up issues about overcapacity in green industries and threat of dumping by chinese global markets and distortions. we'll talk about that in a minute, but wrapping up this trip, talking about china's cozy relationship with moscow as it relates to supporting or whether it is supporting the war in ukraine. janet yellen said most increased trade that we have seen between china and russia has been nonproblematic. her threat or her warning to beijing is that they will be on increased watch for aiding of the war machine in ukraine and warning banks that facilitate significant transactions that military goods -- that channel military goods expose themselves to the
