this the start of china opening up to the world? ah, i british man, you're welcome to did up your news asia that you could join us. the holiday island of bali in indonesia is playing host to a series of import meetings. over the next couple of days. phase the 2 day meeting of the g. 20 group of nations starting tuesday, climate change recovery from the pandemic inflation. the war and ukraine are all set to be discussed. but a meeting between the leaders of the united states and china is drawing particular attention. it has the potential to shape how countries in the region react to the us china rivalry. president biden has said he and his chinese counterpart have a responsibility to show that their 2 countries can manage their differences. and

of these, there are many both leaders head into their talks and politically robust positions . she emboldened after naming himself communist party boss for an historic 3rd term, and biden boosted by a strong performance in mid term elections. i know i'm coming this job rather than nina. i know she's here spend more time with any other rural leader. i knew him well, he knows me. there's no, we have very little misunderstanding. we just gotta figure out where the red lines are and we're, we're, we're the most important things, each of us. what a difference 11 years makes relations have knows dives. since the 2 men spent days travelling together through such one province as vice presidents over a decade ago, and biden spoke of welcoming a rising china. these days the pentagon describes china's rise as the most comprehensive and serious challenge faced by u. s. national security. u. s. is angry at china's tacit support for russia's

invasion of ukraine. russian president vladimir putin a close ally of she will be notably absent from the g 20 meeting. she goes, biden has raised chinese hackles by saying the u. s. would be ready to defend self rule to taiwan militarily. the u. s. has been briefing its allies on the massive economic fallout. beijing invades taiwan, which is considered part of its territory. the us china relationship has really rapidly deteriorated and recent years due to disagreements over trade taiwan policy, human rights that she was just to name a few. and so this really is an opportunity for the 2 leaders to get together in person. busy and to talk about these tasking issues as well as areas or cooperation . growing nuclear tensions in the region will be high on the agenda and bali by he will push china to use it's implements to rein in north korea after

a space of missile tests and fear soaring, the pyongyang is stepping up. it's nuclear ambitions. all right to left gets more on this from ian drawing. he teachers international relations with a focus on the issue of pacific and china, of the national university of singapore, profess strong welcome. now whatever the outcome of the she by the meeting today, are you at all optimistic that the u. s. and china can actually cooperate on major issues such as climate change and food security. i think corporation is a bridge to fall at this point, but what can happen is that the 2 sites might have some sort of mutual understanding about ways to move forward. but more importantly, that the 2 sides figure out a way to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation that can lead to unintended escalation, are spiraling out of control. you're talking about these unintended, the s commission and this is something that countries in the region will definitely be looking at. now the us has been framing, it's rivalry with china as

a struggle between democracy and autocracy. but that hasn't really gone down well in the region. why is that? so to be honest, both sides have been framing the competition in ideological terms. if you look at the 20th body congress, that's how she has couch the struggle to struggle several times. now for countries in the region, part of the reasons because of their own political systems, not all of them are democracy or consolidated democracy for that matter. so to talk about a system that's more open, that allows more participation to has more restraint on executive power. that is worrisome, and i think creating for some regimes in the region. so what 2 countries in the region, one from the u. s. and china relationship. so the primary thing that they want is for the 2 major parties to get along mean to say that there's no escalation, that they don't get into some sort of conflict or prolong tension. but i think to avoid fiction. the countries are realistic enough to realize that they can't affect

that by this point. if there is some ability to cooperate on the economy, to make sure that china and the u. s. going to shut each other off. i think that's a plus, but it needs to be a certain realism to recognize that those sorts of possibilities, maybe dimmer today than before. let's talk about realism and this is something that maybe people give china credit for, because china has grown to become one of the key trading partners for many southeast asian nations. when things have cambodia and lois, for instance. and then of course the japan and indonesia, the trade with these countries as well. how does the u. s. counter this influence? so that's a little bit misleading because trade in goods, definitely china, i think is bigger than, than the u. s. i think it's 10 to 14 percent of the u. s. is about 10 percent for bilateral trade with the region. so it's not that much more in terms of creating services. the region actually traits more services with other actors, japan,

the group in union, and also the u. s. t. and trying to in terms of investment the bell road, notwithstanding. actually the u. s. japan and the you invest far more in the region than china. so sometimes there's a big focus on the trade, and that i think only captures part of the picture. what is the entire picture? i'm in the united states as a president biden today announced investment in indonesia, for instance, in climate and food security. and last year of the us and i was more than $250000000.00 in new initiatives with us here. is that what you are going to try and do so the us will try to invest more than that to be sure. but the nature of the u. s. and chinese investments are bit different for us. there's a difference between real life investments and promise investments. the u. s. tend to be better in terms of realized, investment and the u. s. investors don't come in the big ticket items like the chinese pharmacists do. what happens individual companies will invest a few 1000000 here a few 100000000. there may be a 1000000000, and then they add up. right. but it's very different from the big ticket stuff that

the p r c brings along. so with the biting numbers, they seem somewhat small, but they add up because companies, us companies and others will follow we'll have to even for the time being the thank you so much for joining us to professor you and john from the national university of singapore. thank you so much. i thank you. the china has ease some of its tightest covert restrictions to do with warranty durations and conditions for airlines. the relaxation and rules comes as light relief for many chinese citizens. tired of nearly 3 years of a 0 covert policy that seen impromptu lock towns and regular mandatory testing. but it's not all good news yet. on monday, paging and other major cities reported a record increase in infections. if left open the question of how authorities intend to deal with this later, savage cure up to get go with tests. is that again for

millions of chinese. but now, as the government limits context tracing many will be the leave of daily corporate death and of being thrown into strict got into louis contact with infected people would still mean going to god and team. but now for 5 days, instead of 7, people fed up with almost 3 years of log dance testing and gordon, teens feel comforted by the new, relaxed truths over content. my husband went to supermarket and was identified as a close contact for my dad. he was transported to a centralized florentine center. let him come home on the 5th day when the new regulations were announced. ha ha ha. i think the regulations are good out. and as you can see, there aren't many infected people. oh yeah. i think the regulations are good for people's lives. older kyshay may make

a whole bunch of the prevention measures are gradually east than in short time. there will be a significant change in our lives so many restrictions will be easter and he will return to the peak over 19 situation that was 3 years ago. this is all, you know, this will be much better for me to tell you the quarantine duration for people entering china has also been reduced and the airlines will now not be punished for bringing in dominique or with gifts. is your job or you can? yeah. the authorities see the new rules are a way of optimizing china's corporate response and the 0 corporate policy that aims to isolate every infected person. it's not changing, wash your car, you told on jamar gordon wind corner went, hew funky coffee and will ensure that our prevention and control efforts are montague added and science mist sheila to maximize the protection of people's lives

and home laundry and minimize the epidemic impact on socio economic development bodily injury. the new rules were announced. ethical with gifts stopped at $10000.00 mark for the 1st time since april. the increasing number of infections led to the temporary clothing of tourist attractions in beaching. and people sneaked in cues for tests. and on may not be doing or with more is corresponding fabia encroachment. fabi. i'm is this the start of china opening up to the world? it's a very big question and to be honest, it's too early to tell because the situation is very ambiguous right now. even co arctic. so on the one hand of we have a kia political assigned to open up. i mean there were those new 20 rules by the central government to adjust and optimize and basically relax the recovered rules. for example, to shorten current in time 2 or 5,

they centralized current teen and today's home isolation to also reduce mass tests, et cetera. but on the ground, he and beijing, the situation has become actually much stricter. so since today the m q's in front of the test centers have become longer ada requirements to get tests, it has also increased now a lot of em office basis. they require daily negative testing. and also the lock downs continue. so it's really a very ambiguous, but i know at least one city am the provincial capital of how they province. it is not far away from badging. they've re open schools, safe suspended, or mass testing actually have without any big m announcement. but in that place or the new rules have been implemented. so it's really hard to see a logic behind this. but my interpretation is that the m, the local governments, they are experimenting how to slowly and control in a controlling way, open up and without, you know, i'm having a lot of

a call with that. so right now it's still in an early stage and we don't know how it will play out, but in the long run, i would say that, yes, it is a start of opening up, roared were lieber or for the time being frogger encroachment in be doing. thank you so much for joining us today. and that's it for to very, there's more stories from the region on our website did. dot com forward slash a share back again tomorrow. see you then people in trucks injured one trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. families, please see the reason for these correct only thing is we loaded demonstrate people's lean,

extreme dreams. ross getting 200 people from the june around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines. ah, ah, to economic superpower is at loggerheads to leaders in the spotlight. yes, president biden is meeting china's leader jim king in indonesia to discuss issues ranging from beijing's aggression towards taiwan to bilateral trade of the coming up with russia's warren, ukraine, sparking and energy crisis. global demand for coal is rising again. take
