a new monarch after months of succession disputes. missus zulu, the son of the late king goodwives or the tv has been recognized as the leader of the country's largest ethnic group. the ceremony took place in spite of fierce opposition from some members of the royal family. those are the headlines. the bottom line is next. ah hi, i'm steve clemens and i have a question or relations between the 2 biggest powers in the world, china, in the united states, on an unstoppable collision course. let's get to the bottom line. ah, despite their differences the u. s. in china have gotten by for decades. up until recently, american manufacturers love moving their operations at china on human rights.

questions like concerns about repression of muslim sense and john, or suppression of rights in hong kong. the nations are passionately divided in washington. their fears at china is astounding economic growth and it's attainment of technological and scientific parity in many key industries of the future, threatened america's lead position in the world. and they see china as working hard to situate itself as the most powerful nation on earth. and if that's not enough of a hot mess of challenges, a bipartisan group of us senators and house members have now followed on the trip to taiwan by house speaker, nancy pelosi, who defied both the white house and china in urging her not to take that trip. china seas. taiwan is part of it, sovereign territory, but the deal has been that china won't take the island by force while the u. s. promise is not to recognize, ty, one's independence. that ambiguity has kept the regent stable for decades in protest. the policies visit china has halted numerous bilateral talks and collaboration on everything from climate change to drug trafficking, to regional security and military coordination. and president joe biden has stalled

any action on lifting trade sanctions imposed by his predecessor, donald trump on chinese imports. but despite the downward spiral, the 2 nations are really joined at the hip doing more than $700000000000.00 a year in trade with each other. so what are they strategic partners, strategic competitors or strategic enemies? and what does it mean to you to me and the rest of the world? joining me today is china's ambassador to the united states chin gong. prior to this post, he served as the deputy minister of foreign affairs in beijing. and bastard's great to be with you today and talk to you and i really want our audience to understand the chinese dashboard when it comes to taiwan. we've seen the trip of of speaker how speaker nancy pelosi. you warned her not to go and said there would be consequences, widest high one matter. so significantly to you strategically. thank you, steve, for having me. nancy pelosi, his visit to taiwan, was reckless and the provocative. because it

upgraded the substantive relations between united states and a tie one and it valets the u. s. commitments in the 3 joint communiques of china and the united states that there is only one china and the government of the people's republic of china is the so legal government representing the whole and the same tyna and united states well will not develop an official links with taiwan and nancy pelosi visit to taiwan. we have her and we have seeing what she did and what he said is not at our official with he said very clearly, you know,

her statement a power rival in taiwan that her visit is official at she herself is not a person in the strait. his number 3 in the u. s. government. and she carries great political sensitivities. so by going to taiwan, declaring that the united states size with this high winds are sovereignty. who, which low put the taiwan independence on which political agenda in the parties, the party is democratic, a progressive party's constitution is

a show of the united states, emboldening type, any independent forces. know the consequences of error as seriously as we have warned that the us side repeatedly. now, we are dealing with the fall out of her visit. one of the things that i have been surprised by after her visit was that while president biden did not ask her not to go the national security bureaucracy, the pentagon, various national security officials that work for president biden were very concerned about her, her visit and thought that it would be a trigger when you hardened in any way to see that divide in the government. that there were a lot of people in the u. s. government who did not support her trip. well, we only pay attention to the and the result

the congress is a part of a u. s. government and the congress is obliged to respect and follow the american foreign policy in adding country. there's only one foreign policy. so you can say that the executive branch has of one, and the congress has another one. and we are dissatisfied with what has happened already. and we don't believe that the executive branch of the united states have done enough to stop her going. what is trying to trying to achieve in the world? so 1st of all, china as walking for delivering a better life to his own people. this is at the centerpiece of

the mission of the commissioner party of china and the government of china. so what we are doing is to, you know, make our self a stronger and prosperous so that we can satisfy all our people's desire for a better life. and at the same time, you know, china can have many more to deliver for work, peace, security, and common development. and china is a force for peace and stability. but regrettably, my country is being misperceived and miscalculated. some people see china as a challenge or even a threat trying to replace united states. these are the or not,

or it's not our intention. so we want to have a stable carpeted relations with united states because we do believe that china, united states have a massive share responsibilities and common interests. you know, we have our challenges at home. i think the 1st thing to do, but each of us to manage our own affairs well and a good relationship between china, united states, well serve the interest of our 2 countries. and we also side to meet the desire of the international community for piece security and the for joint efforts

to tackle the common challenges or the international community is facing and saturday the status co all for china, us relations is very worrisome is going down here. this is because, as i mentioned, that china is being misperceived and calculated. and china us relations now is being driven by fear not by the common interest and by the common responsibilities of countries. you know, people forget that, you know, the bilateral trade volume annually between the 2 countries and have exceeded the, you know, $750.00 the bid us dollars. people forget that the before call it,

you know, 5000000 mutual visits to, to not to countries. and people forget that in china, united states, one of the most important, the trading partners to each other. and the people forget there are, there are hundreds of thousands of chinese students, you know, starting in the united states. and the more and more american young people, they truth china to study. so i think it's time to bring back common sense common interest and common responsibility. back to the center stage of for us, china, relation on our differences and disagreements, cannot justify confrontation, why i've heard you recently use the term threat phobia and using the escalation of

rhetoric over taiwan in the united states. as part of that, what do you think is driving american worries and concerns about chinese behavior? from your perspective? i think there is indeed a fear or kind of phobia in the united states and it's spreading. is that racism, i well, maybe you can make judgments, but i do feel that, you know, in this country, asian hate is on the rice. and the chinese scientist, chinese students feel more and more unsafe in the country and our normal interactions, corporations in various fuse. now being affected negatively by fear. i think

a lot of americans look at what they see in china and taiwan and high hong kong. and some of what they see are say, the 0 coven policy, where many people are locked in their residence for very long period of time. and we've seen the youtube videos, etc, people and their frustration. or in hong kong, we saw massive protests that were, were put down and a lot of americans because they believe that that was a democracy movement, or they see taiwanese, that worry about, you know, their future autonomy and, and even some of them, if you said, want independence, there is a sort of affinity that, that in many americans feel for that. and i guess i'm interested when it comes to triggering this crisis again in the future. what is your response? and they're saying, how can china either respond on those situations to alleviate americans concerns that china is trying to squelch autonomy and, you know,

basically basic freedoms in human rights to have a more trusted relationship there. i mean, i'm just sort of interested in why taiwan is so such an exploitable situation that, that it can lead to a quick escalation like it did. and i think in part of it is because so many americans basically have empathy for freedom. well, the classroom of taiwan fundamentally speaking is not about democracy. our freedom is about china's national sovereignty. and tara, tara integrity, is about the national dignity of chinese people. the historical fact is that china has been pop. taiwan has been part of china since ancient times. and in the history taiwan has

been, was separated from its motherland by that colonial and the japanese invaders. but the chinese people, we've worked so hard at the, a huge cost to get tab and back to the motherland. so people need to understand history and need to know the international law. so what is the international law one, china principal, kurt campbell, who is president biden's coordinator for indo pacific affairs. he's a long time asia hand has actually said, don't believe the chinese on this, that they, that peaceful unification is not the agenda that they are seeking. that they use nancy pelosi strip as a pretext to position itself better to and to end,

to take advantage of this moment a fairly straightened plane from, from kurt campbell. i just be interested in how you see that moment what, what, what were you doing to send the signals that this would be troublesome? i don't know. based on what this american senior official open, he said that don't believe china will practice our our will work for peace for re unification. as i mentioned earlier, know, people on both sides of the taiwan street, all our competitors, you know, and we will do our best to achieve feel free to cation, but we will not renounce the on piece for ms. this is not targeting ad chinese people in taiwan.

business to deter a handful all for time i in dependence, separate forces and to deter the foreign innovation so that we can best protect the prospect of peers for re unification. is there any way to get back to a healthy relationship from your perspective? ah, 50 china doesn't believe that the coupling as in the interest of either china or united states and it will hurt both of us and it will hurt the whole work giving you know, the weight and the the influence and the responsibilities of china and the us and secondly,

we do not want that. the couple know we want more exchanges and the more cooperation to get this relationship. all of the current difficulties we need to ah, take some very important ah, principles to hock that if you know this relationship should be built on the principle all for mutual respect, mutual trough ah, peaceful coexistence. and we, when corporation, as proposed by president she,

i remember when ben vice president biden helped arrange the sunny land summit with using ping and brock obama. and i was with vice president biden in china when he met seizing, paying the 1st time. and there seemed to be a very good relationship, a relationship of mutual respect and vice president by now, president biden told me that he respected vision pink and thought that he was a forward think. or do you think there's a level of trust still in that relationship and mutual respect or do you think it has been now spoiled so badly by the events that you've been concerned about? well, i'm very concerned about the level of trust between china and the us simply because that china is being seeing as a 10 inch and simply because that the china phobia is why to be

spread in the us. so if you see somebody as a friend or partner, if something, but if you see somebody as as a threat, our challenge. no, it's a totally different story. so how to restore trust. we need to back to the very basics. that is to have a fair and objective of china's intention of development and the berry in mind. our common interests and common responsibility, which believe we believe that the fall all the way are differences and disagreements. we should not let differences or disagreements, disagreements in the way all fall, the development of our relations and our differences,

and that this and the disagreements should not justify no confrontation and the hosted hostilities and bastard years ago when then premier who gene towel was visiting washington i was seated next to a guy who was the equivalent of the director of the policy planning staff of your ministry of foreign affairs. so i said, oh, this is a great opportunity. tell me, what's china's grand strategy in the world. and his response to me kind of joking was how to keep you americans distracted in small middle eastern countries, which had a ring of truth in it, in that era. what is china's grand strategy today? so china, the grand strategy is to save god work, peace security and the joining hands with people of o l. a. countries for common development and shared prosperity. and we want

to have a piece for and friendly international environment too far as to concentrate on laura domestic development, which will deliver a better lives for chinese people. nothing more, nothing else. and i want, i made them better. my role is trying to distract united states from a fear of china and the from china phobia. and the word is big enough to accommodate china and united states. let me give you a story. the 1st secretary of treasury hamilton. and there is a musical code and no hamilton,

and he had a political enemy that is elenbird. at that time he was a widespread them in the united states. yes. and the, and the result was not happy to man. just say the lead had to do and at the end of the do vice president but lamented that the word is big enough for me and the mr. help me at that. so let's look at the work today and let's look at china us relation. i want to borrow mr. birth remarks that the word is big enough for china and united states. and we don't need to have

the tragic incident more than 200 years to repeat herself today. will ambassador chin gong, chinese ambassador united states. i really appreciate your candor and for your joining us today and talking us through these issues. thank you so much. thank you . so what's the bottom line today? we talked about the future of us china relations. my quick bottom line is that the 2 top global powers will always struggle for dominance. bring the ship and rivalry are really baked into this relationship forever. but the cataclysm that would come if the u. s. and trying to work harder to separate than to cooperate would probably do most all. so another way must be found to avoid a catastrophic collision. but this week were also marking the killing of one of our dearest colleague sharika our who aqua by his really forces in janine last may. sharina was a phenomenal journalist and objective witness to events that she reported on so

that all of us would have insights into what's happening. she was killed for doing her job. analysis has shown that in israeli bullet ended her life. and yet no one has been held accountable. impunity is incredibly dangerous and the death of sharina is a placeholder for the harassment, the detention to torture, and sometimes murder of journalists around the world. i hope you will think of her today, as we call for authorities to bring her killers the justice that she and we deserve . and that's the bottom line. ah, on kindly the costs, rivers drawing up and crops parched could drown worse than europe's cost of living crisis. walter, delaying the global recovery in youth employment. plus can the taliban think that got his dad's economic crisis a year after they took power? counting the cost on al jazeera, for half a century. indigo,

die is all my multiple. what can i still? what did the law stick? yeah. and others in northern nigeria have watched helplessly as a business struggle and being cups. dissipated cloth, making technology has changed over time, but look at this dyed piece here income. and it's the sate that's met some of the products and competed the dumping of chemically treated fabrics. yeah. like in most african markets is a major source of concern for local producers. there is widespread concern, but so even the few kids that remain will also have to close bringing an end more than 500 years history. ah, clara again, i'm surely back to belinda. how with the headlines on al jazeera hotel, see jean smalley as capital mogadishu has.
