stability. she is widely expected to win a 3rd 5 year term in office. ah, seemingly at ease she ging ping strides in with the air of a man who knows what's about to happen over the next few days. he's expected to cement his place as the country's most powerful leader since chairman now, by being handed a 3rd term. and as he opened china's communist party congress, he may clear that his resolve and ambition to main as firm as ever mentioning safety and security more than 70 times. he hale, china's rise the global power. and for those looking for any shift in china's for an agenda or approach came this pointed and to rec, message on beijing's claim to taiwan. she is youth, ireland. the resolution of the taiwan issue is a matter for the chinese themselves to decide what we insist on striving for the

prospect of peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and with the greatest efforts family. however, we are not committed to abandoning the use of force and we reserve the option of taking all necessary measures fung she. she would congress party delegates will in all likelihood, rubber stamp sheeting pings vision for the next 5 years. and strengthen his grip on this global superpower of more. let's bring in alley wine, his the author of a book called america's great power opportunity. revitalizing u. s. foreign policy to meet the challenges of strategic competition. good debbie with us alley. what you think was the message in she's address? what message did he send the rest of the world? well, thank you so much for having me on your program. she didn't think wants to send 2

messages. the 1st message is that china is confident despite macroeconomic headwinds at home, despite and increasingly contested a strategic environment abroad. the china is confident that it's multi faceted resurgence is proceeding with clear momentum. that's message number one and method number 2 directly related to the 1st message is the despite growing efforts by the west, but also by advanced industrial democracies to constrict china technological development . to push back against china's going influence, the china will persist in succeed. she's remarks regarding taiwan, reserving the right to the use of force. d, the take any change he or any hardening from she or is this still posturing? i would say the messaging on taiwan is it is largely more of the same, perhaps a little bit more interference or perhaps a little bit more emphasis rather on cautioning against foreign interference in cross street issues. but i think that the, the bottom line read, or if the bottom line messaging, i would, i don't detect any significant shift. i,

importantly, and i think this would be my most important takeaway. it's not clear from she didn't ping's remarks that china is betraying any significantly greater sense of urgency around resolving, crossed retentions. i think if you look at high level chinese speeches and pronouncements, there still is a sense the time is on china side. momentum is on a china side and a china on balance is considering cross street issues, not so much as a short term exiting issue, but as a more long term festering issue, soto, another came relationship. i leave the us and china a such great and significant trading partners. what do you think she wants to take bilateral relations with washington? so like the united states, china wants to impose guardrails on its relationship with the united states. china recognizes that the only country, the only country that can unilaterally present significant challenges to china's are further resurgence is the united states. so china wants a baseline of stability and its relationship with the united states. it recognizes

that it can't forcibly decouple itself from the united states any more than washington can do. so from beijing. so she will want to impose a stable, a baseline of stability in relationships with, in relation to the united states. but looking past the 20 party congress, the wish on relationship is going to be strained on a multi faceted basis militarily, diplomatically economically and technologically. the hope though is that the sooner that the united states and china recognize that neither will be able to relegate the other to a marginal position in world affairs. the more the, the sooner that they'll be able to stabilize their interactions and avoid any cold war. quite to get your thoughts on the one. thanks so much. my pleasure. thank you for having me. rochester sport. down at the women's ponders like a blind meaning to faded cologne for nil to move within striking distance of table . it is false burger ahead of their clash. next weekend. bye and linda. down at nathan in the 29th. we need to set
