10:17 am
chinese government, the chinese government has maintained close ties with the bundle family. former deputies president o my bone go deemed by visited china 11 times during his 41 year tenure and his son in success early bungle, has made 5 visits to china. seems taking office in 2009. joining us mount when i was a 0 is victor gal who is vice president of the center for china and globalization. that's the leading chinese. think tank is joining us from badging. thank you very much, victor, for being with us. so by doing, expressing strong concern about the cooling, gabon, does china view this cool and the other is recently on the african continent as a major threat to its interest. the 1st of all, china's foreign policy is based on respect to each of those internal affairs. and in this case involving a bulk i seen china will continue with this very from an impostor and foreign policy, meaning china will not ease of yeah. being the internal affairs of this particular
10:18 am
important african country. on the other hand, china is doing the rising to call all the kudos to respect their life and take care of the life of the president of government is given. came all the mandatory and treatment that the deserves and try. it's best to restore all of them and go through the due process inside the country to restore all the and the stability, all the benefits of the people. this is a fine line, but i think china's foreign policy based on not into field losing each of those internal affair, is a very uncomfortable one and will be fully observed in this particular place. as coming back to my initial question is china concerned about its interest in this region of costs? from the chinese perspective, the greatest ability there is any country or any region on the african continent as
10:19 am
a whole, the fence, it is for the people that as well as for the chinese people. whenever you want to do business with jobs with each other, stability is a key foundation, and therefore, we do not want to see any surprises, all could a talk more far into evasion of threats. for example. however, each country has its own internal dynamics and to the extent possible, everyone need to fully respect the internal dynamics of internal affairs. yeah, every country you say china is policies not to interfere in the internal affairs of countries. and it's so that china has not opened the taking sides on these numerous schools across the west africa. so have region. but if there's growing political instability, as we've seen in recent months and years, isn't this strategy going to have to change? how is badging going to cope going forward with this growing political instability?
10:20 am
a festival? i personally don't say china will lead to change its foreign policy. bobby mine to funeral is each of those in canada. so i can play purely from the chinese perspective, or it is specially from my personal perspective, when never there is a complete time period of leading stability any of the african countries to see some west and country is all the former colonial power to right to take really 3 actions against this particular african country is not only pre ponds for us, but also very briefly to the situation involving these countries. because advertising countries of become independent, they have full rights, full sovereignty, and their total. it's hardly tech, would you need to be for the respective therefore i think it is time for your pin countries. what particular european country in particular to this,
10:21 am
it was such threats. i get free samples to gotten to is with just briefly mr. gary, if i can ask you a, you know, if, as you say, china is not interfering and that european countries shouldn't either, once you respond to those will say that china is in fact taking advantage of this going on tie french sentiment, for example, in some of the former french colonies to push this interest forward and exploit further these african countries. what do you respond to that? and i've seen such accusation as god bless a 1st of all, try not. and friends relations are in very good shape. fronds is actually one of the important european countries, which i've been saying the rising walk in the right walk in dealing with china, especially during this very peak of difficult periods of time. therefore, purely from the chinese perspective, there is no reason at all to do anything which may at home visited with interest off for us either in europe or you africa. second to the channel values,
10:22 am
channels relations with each other every of these applicant countries. we want to convey the validity is the key and solve the problem internally in due process. ok, thank you so much for talking to us. thank you for giving us a view there from badging. victor, go from the center for china and globalization. thank you. it's now 3 israeli soldiers have been injured and a policy and drive a killed and a suspected ramming incident. according to eye witnesses, a small congo vehicle run over 3 soldiers near a check point, just outside the city of ramallah and the occupied westbank. is there any forces then chase to drive it down and killed? and let's get the latest from nita e frame who is in ramallah and you all can find westbank. you know, what more do you know about what happened? as you say, folly, what we know is from i with this is that the small car, the car has a potentially at least we believe it's an operation,
10:23 am
has rammed into soldiers, who it has a check points near at. i'm a law here in the occupies west bag according to channel 14 and this way the channel, they say that's one of the soldiers who it hits has been killed. we're still waiting for the official confirmation. now we're also hearing that the driver is a 41 year old. we haven't confirmed his name yet, but we believe that he has been killed after these with the forces chased him towards another is really check point at fields him there know this comes after also a difficult night that's so an explosion in nablus with by is really forced as a storm the city along side settlers who wanted to visit a religious side they are. we believe that for is really so we'll just have been injured as a result of that explosion. so it's remains to be an escalating situation here in
