7:16 pm
simply aiming to reduce the trade deficit to stop china for moving up the economic ladder. joining us from hong kong is alicia garcia, a chief asia-pacific economist. i have raised this two other guests, it is an ideological fight. particularly when you look at targeting chinese tech. it seems clear it is an attempt to suppress chinese -- rebalancing global power. alicia: absolutely. that is the end goal for the u.s. clumsily,tarted very the 22nd of january. certainly not washing machines. they realize that was not the target. as they moved on, china has realized what they are after. that is why china has reacted so massively. frankly, to its detriment.
7:17 pm
china cannot retaliate because it does not have enough to retaliate about, it does not import as much from the u.s.. it can't stop importing what it needs to move up the ladder. that is china's problem today. to be fair, if you look at the way that it has diversified, from the perspective of the food security trying tona has been diversify its food sources of from places like africa, do you think they have done enough to w frome -- diversify a key markets like the u.s.ay? -- like the u.s.? alicia: i'm not worried about food security. i think the problem is semiconductor security. that is much more important for china. if you look at what china has been trying to stop -- stock from the u.s., at least more

7:19 pm
shows you how much they import in u.s. goods which is still below. this red line represents how much in tariffs that president trump is threatening on chinese goods. this is how much the chinese import in u.s. goods. there is still a big gap there in between. do you believe it is true from what president trump said over the weekend? that the chinese will came in first, they will blink first because they do not have as much leverage? alicia: i would argue they are already blanking. they overreacted. although the u.s. announced a 60 billion package, we actually calculated the amount of those products at that very detail level that the u.s. announced. it was much less than that. it was barely half. a 50 billion,with real 50 billion package.
7:20 pm
it was too big for what china can do. china can do many things, but not on trade. which worries me even more. we will see how the market reacts. it will be worse if it reacts differently than trade. betty: the jets -- it's interesting you say that why do you think the chinese scramble together a package like that? alicia: four populist reasons. populist reasons. for both, it is nice to show they are reacting to their "strategic enemy." that is what we have seen. i don't think china benefits from this package, frankly. they will have to backdrop to what they will do is do it through announcements of reforms . i think that is what they are going to do. to show that they will open their market. that is the best-selling point, offering the u.s. market access.
7:21 pm
everyone has been asking for market access in china for ages. if china can show that, i think the u.s. may backdrop. i think that is the only way for china, in my opinion, to stop the bullying from the u.s.. if they wanted to up the ante, sure, they are running out of space when it comes to the trade side, but what about the treasury side? the nuclear option? would they ever threaten or attempt to do that? if push comes to shove, i think they will. the only way they can do that without incurring massive losses is to do it aggressively and quickly so they can sell before others realize. that would indeed be -- in other words, in order to not hurt themselves, they would be forced to play aggressively which beat be a massive event for the rest of the market. they also have -- their
7:22 pm
experience in 2015 was not as successful. the chinese regime controls capital outflows a much better than they did then. there is a lot of ways for china to receive inflows that they did not have at the time in terms of direct access to the bond market. it might not be as painful as it was in 2015. i would consider, of course, first of all, reform. market access. second, perhaps, what you just mentioned comey u.s. treasuries. a wayrhaps diversifying into other dollar assets if they don't want to use their dollar they would incur additional losses. and of course, last but not depreciation. manage depreciation and another way or another. haidi: so many of the issues
7:23 pm
associated with china opening liberalization and reforms, long-term structural reforms need to happen but they will take time if they will happen at all. trump is looking for a quick fix. to appease to his electorate. how does this end? how do you reconcile these two? alicia: there is a number of reforms that are good for china in terms of its potential growth in the future, i don't think that is what trump is after. i don't think he cares how much china will grow in the future at this point in time. what he cares for is that china opens market to pharmaceutical industries, lots of announcements that they were. they were not really as immediate if you think about what happened with the insurance sector. they would have to wait three years. they could say we open now. that are clears to the market in terms of actual
7:24 pm
fair market access. i think what trump needs is not reforms for china, but reforms -- but chinese reform for the rest of the world. reciprocity and market access good that can be done pretty quickly. the question is, will china do that? they really are not wanting to do that for so long. in china's dna to keep its markets closed to the rest of the world and avoid foreign competition. it is going to be a tough one. i think that is the only one they can offer to the u.s. at this point. not only to the u.s., but also to europe. if europe allies of the u.s. in against trade war china, that would be so much harder for china because there would be so fewer other places to go to access technology. particularly technology. haidi: great to have those insights.

we saw jobs growth weaker in march but it is wages that piqued our interest. both of those things happened, you are right. winter weather, people still see a report that to a certain extent could have been impacted. the federal reserve will put that to one side as jay powell signals more rate hikes. let's look at some of the details of the report. the nonparstart with zeros. they rose 300,000. bad weather, construction workers, all kinds of things can hurt that. february we had unseasonably warm february whether. then you got the job report of a surge of over 300,000 workers. unemployment steady at 4.1%, howard -- average hourly earnings were up. pretty good number except production workers who make up 80% of that pool. 2.4% their wages stuck at

7:38 pm
charlie evans of chicago who has been dovish, he is saying he will be on board with another rate hike. he is referring to june. if inflation is that 2%, getting close to 2%, the board, the core opinion in the fed is move ahead and figure inflation will catch up. and everything in terms of weakness will dissipate. what about conversations of trade? could that put a stop to rate hikes? kathleen: most officials have not gone out of their way, but they did questions when they are asked. jay powell was speaking, he got questioned about this. he is not ready to make up his mind. he says it is too early. let's listen to the answer he gave. >> the discussion on tariffs is at a relatively early stage, and we talked about this at the fomc meeting a couple of weeks ago

now. people really don't see yet any implications in the near term for the outlook because we don't know the extent to which the tariffs will come into effect. how big will that affect be in the timing? kathleen: the tariffs impact is easy to shrug off. a full-blown trade war is something that would maybe be stronger. charlie evans said the impact is relatively small for the u.s. economy. neel kashkari said on saturday on fox news, yes, the fed is paying attention to trade, but it could be chest pounding. it could lead to a trade war. we have to wait and see. a former economist, the head of monetary board of governors, now at another company, he said it is hard to think we get more bad news on tariffs. this will slow down the fed's

7:49 pm
strong tendency that this mail -- this will backfire. the thing they are worried about, china producing in the future, china does not export yet. those are aspirational goods. they are hitting goods that are being used as input through either our own operations are those of our allies. were just speaking with their previous guest about where the medivation for this trade war or tussle billy comes from. there has been a lot of talk about ideological sides between the u.s. and china and coming from a need to want to suppress china moving up when it comes to global power and the economic side. do you agree? i would. i fear there is no show of understanding on the part of the united states china wants to develop, has an aspiration to
7:50 pm
develop an needs to. at -- at thee the expense of corporations or intellectual property. it has to be consistent with market-based growth and the respect to intellectual property. say witha lot of conjunction with our allies to make sure the growth path is consistent with the goals i have outlined. haidi: are the grievances president trump has put forward, some of them see fairly historical and others current. are there others shared by allies? mary: japan has asked the united with, together with them in confronting china over the issues of high tech transfer. they are shared. as china becomes more of a
7:51 pm
primary innovative nation, there are issues china also shares. this is embodied in its exports. yes, we do have allies with these concerns now. we should be joining with them and discussing with china a world in which this is not consistent with global trading growth is good for china in the long run as well as us. complicating factor is spillover to regional economies, these trade exposed ? onomies particularly in asia taiwan to south korea and australia potentially being exposed, what do you think the fallout could be? mary: it would be tariffs around $50 million of goods, so the spillover is barely contained. everyone seems to think it doesn't go any further, it is not disruptive. it could get much worse.
7:52 pm
enough risk for parts of east asia and even wider. there is opportunity. go out, you can see territories -- companies moving offshore from china and other parts of east asia. there is opportunity. but overall, this is a move that will raise costs. it will lower quality, and they will have a higher rate of default. it will increase costs on the supply chain. betty: all right, thank you so much, mary lovely, the peterson institute for international economics nonresident senior fellow. numbers crossing our terminal on the bloomberg, just ran -- japan's current account balance just missing at ¥0.76 trillion

8:10 pm
war could have ripple effect in their own economies, in the global economy, that both sides want to avert this is the question is, how do they do it? how do they get to the table? how much is china willing to give up? how much is the u.s. willing to concede to china to get a deal done? we are a long way from that. trump'st sounds like may be more in step now with his team that have been trying to downplay the idea of a trade worker but did we hear over the weekend? kathleen: it started with larry kudlow, the new economic council director. he has been in front of these trade questions because they have been saying -- i think they are trying to put more of a factual surrounding to what trump has been saying. said, hey kudlow has pounds the table, this is not a trade war. he says on friday -- said on friday that there are back channel talks going on. he said the u.s. trade rep and the president will be huddling

8:13 pm
is playing to a domestic audience. what balancing act is as likely to be? tom: you are right to point that out. he is quite possibly the most powerful later on the planet right now. but he does have a constituency here in china that he has to appeal to. it is a challenge, a tight rope challenge for president xi. he has to show he is prepared to retaliate. that he is prepared to stand up against the tariffs from president trump. equally, he doesn't want to see this trade relationship deteriorate to the point where china's economy is thrown off the track. what we may here at the speech tomorrow is not -- is an articulation of the premises that cheney policymakers have already made to further open up their markets. this year is the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening. bank. -- opening period. we make it more details around that.

8:15 pm
tom: certainly there is a view tensionsrade continue and become more sustained, then we may not see this regular tick up. if you put the month of february a side here in china, for the month of march, what we saw is the fx reserves taking up by 8 billion u.s. dollars to a total of $3.14 trillion. i mention february because it was the first month we have seen a dip for 13 months per we saw a take-up. then we saw february where we saw a dip. march has rallied. because of the strength of the u.n.. turn among, pull that up, and you can see the reserves in china from about the end of 2010 to now. the fx reserves are marked in those blue bars. 2014, but is013, when we were topping about 4 trillion u.s. dollars. you saw this gradual reduction in those fx reserves for 2015 and 2016.
