bam. bull fighting nationwide. it brings to an, in the centuries old tradition, brought by spanish colonizers. this victory, reevaluate the culture. we inherited the culture of violence of torture that does not deserve to be called culture. the law proposes binding all bull fighting within 3 years to give time to the industry to adapt and transform bull rings like this one into cultural centers. this old tradition which used to thrill the masses in famous intellectuals the like, has reached its final thrust. a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. china is playing a bigger role in the middle east than ever, but can't compete with the united states to be a peace maker between the palestinians and israelis. let's get to the bottom line. the last year, after years of possibility between iran and saudi arabia, china was able to get both sides to agree to
7:34 pm
a detox. something that the united states was either unable or unwilling to do. now with the war on gaza and its 9th month, china has presented itself as a major power. it's less biased towards israel than the west. beijing is criticized israel for going well beyond self defense and argued before the world court that the palestinian use of force to resist oppression is there right and cannot be equated with terrorism. for years, china has been expanding its economic footprint and criticizing the world order run by washington. but will that translate to a bigger diplomatic and military role for beijing in the palestine is real conflict . today we're talking with one who jo, president of the non governmental think tank, the center for china and globalization. and he's former advisor to the china state council, which is china cabinet. that's the one. thank you so much for joining us today. i know this can be an unusual show because, you know, typically we're talking about what washington thinks about the world. now i'm really interested in what beijing is thinking about the israel gas, a conflict other conflicts and you know,
7:35 pm
really china's role in the world. and so i'd love to get your take on these real guys, a conflict. how is easing pain? and the chinese leadership in the chinese population is looking at this conflict right now from your point of view, i guess, i guess dave, uh for the, for this uh show, actually uh uh, i think that the wall this wall has been dragged on for quite some time now is more than a half year and uh, it's really bad est into see, uh, people suffer there. and also that, uh, you know, the whole world is watching these and they're leaving the on a daily basis yet. and we cannot solve that to this crisis. i think the chinese positions gotten the position of cause uh is, is very clear john, i the very beginning come damsel kind of uh, you know, uh, violence. so uh, attacks on civilians. i mean, that's very clear for, for china, but china, i actually would like to see, uh, you know, this is not really
7:36 pm
a goal will be on the, uh, you know, the, the, the, the toner is, of the, of the human. uh, you know, the security because we see a lot of the casualties of the civilians. we see a, there is a committed, tiring crisis happening. and then we see there's so much international effort. so international consensus is un resolutions wants to bring this in, want to, to uh, you know, say as far yet we still have not seen that happening. that's really, really, i just bought it to i, i think, to, to, to manage fridays. and i really, uh, this made to, to read it to the want to see this was through continues. so we're hoping that we're going to really see a ceasefire. we're going to see some kids make things going on. and we see that to, you know, the whole world community and of course china can work with them to really stop is a crisis that they're really happening. uh, all right. is for too long to, to, to lot of schools are beyond the imagination. you know,
7:37 pm
i was interested in the various chinese liter statements that from their perspective, that is really actions right now and gaza have gone beyond the rationale of self defense. and i think that's a pretty bold statement from, you know, compared to others that china has made. and i've been to be honest, i think there, there are americans that may, rightly or wrongly they think they're fair to both sides. they think they're fair to palestinians and that they want, you know, to protect the palestinians. but they have this relationship with this real that seem to have no boundaries. and i'm interested in how you see this and whether you see america in sort of a hypocritical moment. and whether or not um china is willing to weigh in more greatly to basically to say, to israel back off what it's called possible. i think that the, that exactly happen to us used to be the, the, the replacement of cause. they are trying to maintain the, the sort of
7:38 pm
a hostile war order. but they are really looks very, very uncomfortable now. and then particularly all these cries that we see the double standard, probably a pi, the to, to the situation a southerly. uh, there's others, other logic. uh, yeah. and friends of course, of the user in, in the united states. but, but that way you may see about them for the diminishing and but, but did but, but go to particular apartment's about that yahoo actually still hang on the pilot there. and, and, you know, the boy is really a, be on the, the, the, you know, the, what the, what the necessary up goal is to, to, to retaliate. i think there's over 10 times more, probably attach, reduce, or even 20 times more, which is which is, which is a word beyond the imagination, the sampling of the, of what human is hiring people the way location of the one problem 5 told me in the pot of standing on the god that street and the particularly we have seen these cries is going on the under the, the,
7:39 pm
the do you know the casualties of the children, the woman i know there's a sufferings about that displayed on a daily basis and you're leaving room this is really beyond the people's imagination. so i think the china actually of calls us that probably its, uh, its average china has been uh, talking to uh, old bodies. my big originally john as the minister of some utah, the up arrow. but minister meeting with the chinese leaders. i think john, as uh, you know, really, hopefully that, you know, we should really solve is fundamentally, was, was to stay solutions, ways to ways really stop the fight and the advocacy inspire, you know, let's gather you in resolution uh you, in place and the really to put this uh uh, to the end up being the basis really uh, you know, really law, me and i thing unbearable poverty. we've such a kaiser's going always such a large attach a deal, the civilians, which is a really
7:40 pm
a totally beyond the, you know, control. i think that that is really very unfortunate, very tragic. i think chinese government and john is people is really getting more and more uh, you know, really attended much attention on his, on his cries in law and wants to get involved and wants to help. absolutely. this is a, there's a great desire on, on the chinese side to, to really want to see a piece for making going on as a result of the chinese government as a announcement good to donate the 500000000. i'm be a full team anytime aid to the people in gauze. ok. i would really calling for open know the china is open all the rest of june packages and really said the situation improve and, and the state of crisis stop. we all woke up in washington dc, one day to the news that china had had play this key role in normalizing relations
7:41 pm
between saudi arabia and the wrong. and i tell you if there was a whiplash effect, people said, my goodness, that was sort of america's terrain. and that sort of what we did and, and china in a way, jumped into a role that we hadn't seen before. i'd love to get your insights and not only with israel, gaza, but china is, you know, kind of new diplomatic mission around the world. the role in, in, in surprising ways and, and what is driving that right now. actually i think china know how does actually increase the it says a soft bar, but in the salt spit using the joseph nice term to because of china. i, you know, know as the open bob and, and the last for the 5 year john and growing to the 2nd largest economy and trying to become the largest trade image. it was over $120.00 countries. so the worst the ad plus bird is vital to china's grows and, and prosperity as well. so, so what has happened these, that china, of course, for example, you imagine about,
7:42 pm
in those made a piece do, forest, rudy, that any ron is, which is great because china is the largest the trading nation was both countries. china buys a logic older and i'm 90 percent, probably be out there aspect of it and it just to china and to the war probably. and then that's really a big good influence. so i think that the, the, the information but particularly in off from some of these and probably if i'm either use stuff on the iran impala view and they also had the loan to see the nice and positions they want to have a ladder to come. dawn and then they don't want to do is sort of the us. so you because you know, they were involved in the us was involved in the was and either in a many conflicts in the me, there is the saw there. maybe somebody nice on the clean me some but incredible. i like somebody never had to evade it or never have altered by the any of the territories. and that china is the largest treated nation with all of them. and it's very natural for them to come to china and china is willing to engage more to,
7:43 pm
to make the peace. but it's, it's to the chinese interest and also to the warm pulse markets. so i think that's where, what has happened for making this to between a user and the bidding that you're on. and, and so what it is because of china is really wants to show who down to, you know, the friend who is both countries, a one jonathan priest, don't do it, please let stop, give me a face, stop it. and then they probably will don't, because they, they respect china as the 2 largest trait, invasion of, of both of their contracts. so it's about happening actually in a be those, even for the, for the, for the god, the conflict. china is the largest strange. the result are but nations chinese, the 2nd largest trading asian was the israel. i think china used to maintain both as good relays with both arable and a 0 above and a time will come for china interest. that being said, look. busy you know, let's, let's really come to the end and that's really solve this issue. and the find a solution to that. and probably china, but think of now is global solves,
7:44 pm
would have more influence on china. originally, it is something ways, the 0 a 6 point piece of time for a for ukranian and, and the a roger and conflict and the i, the turkish for a minister common to assist you do a few days ago. imagine and the saying that the talk is, is also would like to what was trying to help on those conflict in, in a me that is the only in uh, you know, russian on your credit. so. so i think there's a lot of things that to china can play a more active uh, uh, you know, piece me making and peace. me the agent role. no, i then used to be so, so i think it's also because china has a vested interest to see a more prosper and more stable book just for work that is really binding site and both drawn on the war. do you think there's a pathway with the international institutions to be more effective in these complexes? i have to tell you my, my view is sector in general once it can't do it. what, what are the, is there
7:45 pm
a resolution besides just having constant paralysis in some of these, you know, horrible bleeding ulcers in the world that involve real people's lives? absolutely. i, i think that, uh, you know, organization like you and, and, you know, also the security council could do much more. absolutely. the problem i see that now is that we're having all those problem in the world. so much conflict and on top of that climate change, you know, yeah, i saw a secretary good or is was mentioned today, you know, we should stop using all those up for you and the gasoline advertisements and things like that. so there's more challenges, a phase and given the eyes to be combined, uncertain emmanuel, a spec. so i think the big, big power, major power should really gather back together and work together. for example, at the, you show the gods, i will do it really is it said that why can't we send the un peacekeeping force to the station there and actually separate the uh, the, the, the, the conflict,
7:46 pm
the parties. i'm not making sure that there's a still space solution be implemented because it also. and so the, the fundamental china is that the, those baird power sometimes with different views. but you know, they actually have a, you know, company come on them solve the sanctions, the trade was and all those things going on. you so, so that the difficult to reach consensus, but even general, even though united nation rates are constant as national security risk because as, as you, it says it doesn't have a binding power sometimes. so it's really absurd to say don't happen. you don't. i mean, for the secular cause of the what is really the bad wrong of the war piece and that is really the, the things we, we, we stop it up to the 2nd world war. i know such a powerful country is formed the united nations security council task of a small regional you know, you know, cause i, that's really absurd. i, i really think united nation should be, should just standing. it's a,
7:47 pm
a implementing a power actually, you know, like you wouldn't peacekeeping for, should be actively employed, use the in stop the guys outside and the, that's really, i think what we can do and also be able to just stay solution. you know, proposed by, of the, you know, your getting congress recognized by it, but it's also proposed by china and given us the objective that present by doing those us as post a solution. why can't we implement that? i mean, there's a concerns of what's to stay solutions and let's start, let's, let's you know, get the resolution on that to do it so, so this is really, fundamentally we have to solve that problem. otherwise, it's really incompetent. not only for the domestic politics but international politics, we're part of our lives and that we go to the, those, not the officers. i'm new challenges on a new cartridge that, that are going to happen more so we have to really put all acts together and to stop these war and, and making peace immediately. such
7:48 pm
a powerful comment. let me ask you a question. more about a geostrategic picture in economics, you know, is real view a, the india in united states have announced a new effort to open a cord or from asia to europe. maybe it's a different form of a belt and wrote initiative. japan is announced a new global partnership with united states and looking at is china feeling any of that pressure or you feeling very comfortable with what you've got? you know, i think you actually will, i me with is a, is a positively, you know, 10 years ago, 10 to 15 years ago. nobody is the think about the global solves oh, initiate in a go. but the bottom project on china been down, you know, or 11 years of china proposed about enrolling initiative, which is great and all i think it's really, i agree it's, it's a god that chad never reactions. all of that, all the congress got into really looking for this infrastructure deficit, the global you structure deficit. so united states football is a big bug, whether war bass or w and you propose you goble gateway. i know we have an indian you where you and
7:49 pm
your boss say ok, the indian uh your economic cars. oh, great. if all the countries wants to put more investment, you know, put more projects into this, we'd be very good on the paper. now when we say a lot of times being pub. busy but not really saying much actions, for example, but don't really need to for the last decade, the back to the don't over one trillion us dollars. i bill to 3000 project, but it'll rask developing countries. so what are the other countries of the concrete, the, the 3 adults will you have to be seen? but i would like to see the concept is on the global universe, dr. deposition. let's work together. you know, b, i bits or www. a global gate doing india, you me to use the your because on the card. well, that's all combine that. hold to come by. let's use one back. let's use the age of info starting to mess one back agent the bottom back asking to develop me back. you know, you open to them back. let's go though the follow backs. they share
7:50 pm
a similar charters and the white kindly worked together. so. so i really see that the climate change is one of the big concerns is infrastructure deficit repairs. i'm not a conservative, but let's work together. uh, you know, robert, that we all going to different directions on quality and they did a lot of redundancy and waste. so i would really like to see how we can work together and try to walk comes the form is the one you said b r i is walk up the ser wu, a global gateway, a lot of the similar initiative to join hands that to work together so that will be a china's book approach. henry, let me ask you a question about russia, china, a, say, russia, ukraine, since you mentioned that, do you suspect there are more things that china can do in terms of putting mediator of nudging it's friend without boundaries? russia and ukraine into an arrangement that would end the war and conflict between russia and ukraine. we're weird or raise your thinking in that as well. actually,
7:51 pm
i'm in china as a, as a gradually filed a, this is a, this is ready to go all the about a and about post tunnel, a set of right beginning, you know, i wonder what bo called the sovereignty charge. i enjoyed, it should be respected, but while and i shall come to page and present, she said no nuclear weapon should before you. great, and should be utilized there. i'm evelyn, present. my com can present, she called the presence allows you to ride off of that. so china is really a, be a substantial, a play or no, uh into this, trying to have a stops. i am one brass of the way it was a traveling, the business related to countries and always say, you know, if it was a sub this made to and the west beloved. uh, you know, uh, coalition is really not able to really put the angel this war vendors. there's a global solid is really getting very annoyed into account is like brazil, like turkey, india, and saw separately they will want the media. i want to do something,
7:52 pm
i think china is, is actually play more role now to you and you have a great terms with those. uh, uh, you know, long non comm sleeping countries. right. you know, russia is, by the way, with the, with the waves and they told you, but the child and all the, all the gold, most others not in the frightened bodies. so they could be really, really in a good position to be a mediator, to be a peacemaker. and as i say that happened in china, just so you should have statement was a brazilian and told you the form is things in page in the grid on those many of those points. so i say more and more about john a couldn't be a more, a peacemaker and mediator for these guys, of course would want to work with you as an you to work together. but, but the, the, the position of a child is clear. you know, if it's piece making that's got all the complex parties to the piece making please talking ok some it rather than just wasn't excited, let's get both sides to call them to talk to all do. and this was a through dialogue. so the goes uses through uh,
7:53 pm
communication and i think that is really the john his point. one of the questions is, is the brits itself paralyzed in its efforts of the tensions between india and china within bricks keeping it from playing in the role? do you take the bricks, notion seriously as an alternative way to think about how you know power and frankly, global problem solving gets done and we'll, we'll make this for our last question, but i would love to hear your thoughts or yeah, yeah, thank you. if that gets there, but i think this is a great question actually. you, you said that the bridge suite of us are but then so you can now me go, but i vision, you know that that's actually the, the attraction. we see the base country dog over the last year. i know we've seen the purchasing power to power of the brakes is already larger than g 7. and the adults cause also uh the, uh, the brakes. uh, there's another ton is on the calendar lined up to john briggs. i know that the you need to talk is it for me? just a told me i'd susie jean that he's going to attend briggs plus assignment and that
7:54 pm
next next week or sometime so. so i think, you know, this is really important that even though there's ideologically, or maybe, uh, the governing style may be different, but breaks country all favor economic go, but i vision in favor that you cannot mean a development. i'm not subtraction of a big countries where are the other, you know, all the, all the other lies. 1 security or security of his eyes. oh, well, made it to realize, we see the nato expanded. we see 5 lives. we see all colors. we see quad that we see comp, david, the, those are your name and view all the lives by the way to produce a lot of the brother product, but really the increases the mandatory budget of all the country. so. so i think that the final really uh, solution to that is we still have to keep the pos biology and the hidden band to the possibilities of the biggest risk. and we cannot really, uh, take the,
7:55 pm
you know, we have to avoid that risk. so, so the risk that the best part is really the biggest risk we're having though. so i think we have to really push continuously holding economic go, but i vision prosperity. i think about exactly what john is doing, trying to do with the bill photo really in this day of john as a a, i be a much running investment bank trying to join the c b b. b wants to job that on china is a part of the us impede the largest free trade agreement award. and john wants to have a, you know, all the economic, the cobra just saw. i mean, it was african, not the american oscio, central asia and gulf countries. china is the big country personally because i think over others actually i see the brakes are too large that you know, they want to be the bottom is a good nomic organization continue. so, so i see the difference of these are, you know, uh, brakes is not even though they are not really a so established, so they're still needs all the room to improve. not perfect, but that thing be, but by the end of the ride trend i'll be can on the go. but i vision continue. and
7:56 pm
of course that is word oh, those brakes country, global sizes that are fine all from the global knowledge because then the don't care the you cannot develop and that much not. and then the current more problems with, you know, oh the security issue. all those, uh oh, those increase me that or a budget. i know those issues and that's where squeeze the saws go besides. now there's, there's multiple back to anger, to the property. and that's where i think breaks represents a new alternative. i'll be can nominate governance issue where if we're not working together, that alternative will become one more attractive. fascinating one who yeah, founder and president the center for china and globalization really appreciate you for joining us today. thank you for your candor back to sleep. so what's the bottom line? everybody hates the enforcer of the rules. but the hard truth is that the world needs enforcers, whether we like it or not. why? because some conflicts cut so deep that the warning antagonist just can't find the balance that delivers safety and justice from each other. so the enforcers may
7:57 pm
global rules, which of course tilt in their favor for almost a century the u. s. is believe it, it alone is the premier diplomatic, economic and security for solving global disputes. and of course it resolves things its way. but more recently, other countries are entering the field. china is reasons are clear. geo political competition with the united states. i don't think china has deep roots and concerns about either palestine or is real. but on the other hand, if it can get some credit with air of states, india, ron, by playing a balancing role in the crisis, then all the better. and that's the bottom line, the a working class community driven simple club with some remarkable funds left leaning socialist politics. what you see on the says those are the police of the funds to pay for
7:58 pm
phones and discrimination. watch focused, bringing people together. it's quite unlike anywhere else on my lot white folks football office on out of there and he says he went to more towards here yet to provide aids. are you looking back? are you excited for? no, no file, but not in the eyes of his government to my life as being us. can you just me, my i just because of these really toast. in the 2nd part of the series, we follow a british age work or as he prepares to contest his citizenship revocation less than that of the tenants increase. so you're only as good as your possible state list in syria and i'll just 0. 1 day i might be covering politics, the post office think from serbia is a hungry. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they are going through so that i can convey the headlines from the most human way
8:00 pm
united nation singles, at least for any minute. truthful grave and unprecedented violations against the children in its global report. the on the bulk of this is just a reluctant though, also coming up as well. a launch is one of us largest rugged attacks. yes, it can know what that is around the g. 7 leaders agreed to lend ukraine. $50000000000.00 and assistance. that means again,
