the united states and china are jus to resume trade talks this weekend 8 months after agreeing to phase one of a trade deal the contentions couldn't be any more tense the world is in the grips of a pandemic which u.s. president donald trump blames on beijing and washington is in the middle of a crackdown on chinese tech giants. the popular video service to talk is facing a battle in the u.s. 8 that's what president donald trump wants citing concerns over the chinese state's potential access to the user data that take top collects then tick-tock happens to be very successful in the u.s. it may yet avoid a ban if an american company takes over the video platform and its 100000000 american users until september 15th. both microsoft and twitter have registered interest and negotiations are ongoing. is already banned the

messaging app is a must have in china and most chinese smartphone users have it installed on their phones phones they take with them when they move to the us to work or study but the number of we users is far behind that of tick-tock these are only the latest battleground in the fight protect supremacy between the u.s. and china but it takes 2 to play the game american social media platforms like facebook and twitter have been banned for years and chinese tech conglomerate while way has been a bone of contention for the u.s. despite washington sanctions however while way still manage to sell more smartphones than any other company. but whether that success will hold is another question while ways struggling with challenges to its smartphone production mostly due to u.s. trade restrictions against china that prevent american a chip producers like qualcomm from providing wall way with processors their supply

is only enough for a few more weeks even while wave might have to stop producing phones as early as september. let's bring in james andrew knew as he's the director of the technology policy program at the center for strategic and international studies in washington d.c. james welcome to the show how big a role will chinese tanks play in this next round of talks. i think it will overshadow. surprising us all making any progress there's areas like a cultural products where there's still room for the president we welcome progress on agriculture but tech overshadows everything. ok now washington is threatening to take talk on national security grants now the way to look at this is that america is simply threatened by at chinese success story what do you think about. no it's not a threat of the chinese success story it's the threat of chinese espionage and of

chinese censorship and of chinese influence operations and fortunately there's good evidence that china is doing this we know they're censoring things and to talk there's a deep concern in the government that they will use to talk as a platform just spread chinese propaganda they've done it the other areas and finally there's the whole question of what happens to the personal data could be collected over by defense it's best to see to talk not as an individual case that part of a larger pattern of groups and health care companies and insurance companies china's vacuuming up u.s. person data to populate a surveillance database and that's the primary grounds for concern on that question of data about u.s. president donald trump is accusing chinese companies of mining you as a state as you say i'm the likes of facebook and google doing exactly the same thing. they are but they don't have prison camps and they don't violate their
1:39 am
agreements and hong kong they're not a state and so china is the world's largest surveillance state it's the world's largest police state it's not a democracy it doesn't respect human rights or the rule of law that makes it fundamentally different facebook and google can't throw people in jail china can and what do you think beijing strategy will be then in the next round of talks. oh i think i'll look for retaliation i mean as you mentioned going into this of course us social media platforms are banned in china so even some chinese are told me we understand why you're doing this you're just using a page from our playbook but china will look for other areas where they can retaliate and whether that's in silm soren in investments or something else we're showing it will be careful to do this in a way that doesn't hurt their own economy but they're looking for ways to retaliate and we'll probably see that relatively soon now these negotiations come out an

incredibly volatile time for the global economy what i the chances of a breakthrough. i would say a major breakthrough it's close to 0 progress in some areas the trump administration would like to see some progress because of the election i hope the chinese don't overestimate that the chinese keep saying well he's also doing this because in the election it won't help him that much you know will hurt him that much i mean americans do vote their pocket book but the trade talks won't really change a lot of the fundamental issues so minor progress the best thing would be no rupture at all because a rupture would send a very bad signal to markets and so if we can just keep kicking the ball down the road a little bit might be best for now i'll keep that ball rolling james andrew lewis thanks so much thank you and finally we'd like to take you to the wine growing
