ah, welcome to take talk with him about hackers, paralyzed entire societies. computers. they know some are you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain outings technologies work, how they can infer and that's how they can also go terribly. what new to this is the governor near is asia coming up to date, how the us china rivalry is impacting countries in asia. europe sanitize have been fraught for years and joe biden, and she, jim, being our meeting today to discuss the way forward. we look at what countries in the region want from the 2 leaders, plus aging has eased some 0 covert measures for the 1st time in nearly 3 years. is

this the start of china opening up to the world? ah, i british man, you're welcome to did up the news asia that you could join us. the holiday island of bali in indonesia is playing host to a series of important 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 warden 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 counterparts 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 as jordan neither. know she's here spend more time with than any other rural leader. i know him well, he knows me. there's no, well we have very little misunderstanding. we just gotta figure out where the red lines are and we're, when we're in most important the features what a difference 11 years makes relations have knows dives. since the 2 men spent days travelling together through such on 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. will 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 it considers part of its territory. the us, china relationship has really rapidly deteriorated and recent years, due to disagreements over trade taiwan policy, human rights. and she was just to name a few. and so this really is an opportunity for the 2 leaders to get together in person 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 its influence to rein in north korea after

a space of massage tests and fear soaring, the pyongyang is stepping up its 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, professor 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 cooperation as 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 this calculation 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 party 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 that has more restraint on executive power. that is worrisome and it is, 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 powers to get along mean to say that there's no escalation, that they don't get into some sort of conflict of prolong tension. but i think to avoid friction. 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 realism to recognize that those sorts of possibilities may be dema 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. one thinks of 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 and the u. s. is about 10 percent for bilateral trade with the region. so it's not that much more in terms of trade in services. the region actually trades more and services with other actors, japan,

the european union, and also the u. s. t. and trying to in terms of investment that built in 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 capture part of the picture. what does the entire picture, i mean, the united states as a president biden today announce investment in indonesia, for instance, in climate and food security. and last year, the u. s. 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 realize 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, a few $100000000.00. 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 leave it for the timing to thank you. so much for joining us to professor you shawn 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, it's left open. the question of how authorities intend to deal with this lead to search cure up to get go with tests is out of dean for

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

one of the whole bunch. the prevention measures are gradually east than in short time. there will be a significant change in our lives. so many restrictions will be easy, and he will return to the pre coven 19 situation. that was 3 years ago. my physical, you know, this will be much better for me. 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 whales and yada authorities fee. the new rules are a way of optimizing china's compet response and the theda corporate policy that aims to isolate every infected person. it's not changing watch auto. he'll hold on yama, google glass corner went hugh, funky billy, and will ensure that our prevention and control efforts are more targeted and science missed. she will to maximize the protection of people's lives and home

yanking 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 closing of tourist attractions in beaching. and people sneaked into youth for tests. and i mean, i've been doing or with more is correspondence arbion crutch. my problem is, is 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 chaotic. so on the one hand of we have a key, a 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 recorded woods, for example, to shorten current in time to

a fife, they centralized quarantine and today's home isolation to also reduce a mass tests, et cetera. but on the ground, he and beijing, the situation has become actually much stricter. so since today the m q in front of the m test centers have become longer at the requirements to get tests. it has also increased. now a lot of am 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 eci without any big m announcement. but in that place, other 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 em, slowly and control in a controlling way, open up and without, you know, i'm having a lot of

a corporate death. 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 lever burr for the time being, progress. crunch more in be doing. thank you so much for joining us today. and that's it for to very is more stories from the region on our website. you double dot com forward, slash a share of a back again tomorrow. so you them for what people have to say it matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on
