the future is being determined. now, our documentary theory will show you how people, companies and countries rethinking anything, i'm making make changes. your revealed this week on d. w. with a safety, dr. nearest asia, coming up today, how the us china rivalry is impacting countries in asia. europe, china ties have been fraught for years and joe biden, and she jumping on 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 covered measures for the 1st time in nearly 3 years. is this the star of china opening up to the world?

ah, i british man, you're welcome to did up the news asia dedrick would join us the holiday island of bali in indonesia is playing host to a series of import meetings. over the next couple of days. there is the 2 day meeting of the g. 20 group of nations starting tuesday, climate change recovery from the pandemic inflation. the war in 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 is joe, rather than navy. i know she spent more time in the other world leader. i knew him well, he knows me. there's no, we have very little misunderstanding. we just got to figure out what the red lines are and where we were in most importantly, what a difference. 11 years makes relations that knows dives since the 2 men spent days travelling together through such a i'm 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, a china's tacit support for russia's invasion of ukraine. russian president vladimir putin

a close ally of she would be notably absent from the g. 20 meeting to go. 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 that 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 it's implements to rein in north korea. after spate of missile tests and fear soaring, the pyongyang is stepping up its nuclear ambitions. all right to left gets more on

this from ian drawing. he teaches 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 coach the struggle. peter 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 my participation to has more restraint on executive power. that is worrisome and i think creating for us in 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 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 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. when things have cambodia and lois, for instance, and then there's 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 trade in services. the region actually trades more in services with other actors, japan, the group in union, and also the u. s. t. and trying to in terms of investment in road,

notwithstanding. actually the u. s. japan and 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 the u. s. and i was more than $250000000.00 in new initiatives with all see on 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. investment will come and the big ticket items like the chinese pharmacists do. what happens, individual companies will invest a few, a few 100000000, maybe 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 timing the thank you so much for joining us today, 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 florentine 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 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 tracing many will be the leave of daily gulf with death and of being thrown into strict got into louis contact with infected people would still mean going to a current team. but now for 5 days, instead of 7, people fed up with almost 3 years of flogged downs testing. and gordon teens feel comforted by the new relaxed roots over content. my husband went to a 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. doherty, i think the regulations are good 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. yeah, man, man, one of the awards going through the prevention measures are gradually eased than in

short time. there would be a significant change in our lives so many restrictions will be easily and he will return to the greek over 19 situation that was 3 years ago. this is, well, you know, this will be much better. for mcconnell 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 griffith. your job whales and yada authorities see the new rules. either way of optimizing china's corporate response and a veto corporate policy that aims to isolate every infected person. it's not changing what your call you told on jamar gordon klein corner went here. funky, hopefully, it will ensure that our prevention and control efforts are more targeted and science based. sure will to maximize the protection of people's lives and help me. okay. and minimize the epidemic impact on socio economic development. pardon the

injure. 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 i mean, i've been doing or with more is corresponding fabian 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 per 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 karen teen time to a fife, they centralized karen teen in 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 at the requirements to get tests, it has also increased. now a lot of em office spaces. 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, 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 cool 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 lever burr for the time being frogger encroachment in be doing. thank you so much for joining us today. and that's it for today. there's more stories in the region on our website did i will dot com forward slash a share back again tomorrow. see you then me . this is where the rainbow shines. the brightest home to queen people from around the world. none path with trauma. history was written more than 100 years ago. dive into queen culture. out and proud,
