here's by what's called the chinese economic miracle just days ago beijing claimed it had overtaken japan to become the world's second largest economy after the u.s. but overwhelming growth bring some serious challenges environmental financial social and political discuss where they're going to handle them i'm joined now here by the vice chancellor for research and international relations at the russian

foreign ministry's diplomatic academy in getty by jennifer thank you very much again for your time thank you for inviting me to the program well some experts say chinese over hating all those that it's already over hate it what do you think i think trainers economists over and over he did all the time because they have for a disproportionate between sectors of the economy which grow very fast for example industry the same time the don't have enough resources how dangerous is that for the economy when cheney started reforms experts in russia or in other countries there you do used to say that the economy will be a transit call it will be in trouble in a few years and it will go down but somehow every time they manage to improve the situation and move further i think they still have potential one of the chinese yuan stron says of becoming the world's. reserve currency t. asked or talk to train news and this question the a lot of some of them smile when they say because of course it's

a long way to go as far as the neighbors of china are concerned some of them already use some of them already use this currency in some cases like one bowler like laos cambodia cetera but to say that it can replace american dollars i don't think it's possible in the forseeable future and chinese even don't do them because they don't try to destroy a dollar because they understand that the put happens the whole world the color of rule will go to pieces how big is china's role in global politics today and what are the major political challenges the country is now facing china as a permanent member of the u.n. security council and. it is one of the greatest economy companies in the world china has a very active foreign policy and as a result china plays a very important role in the world and no i wouldn't say you have you can find even one problem in the world which can be solved with the without participation of china and i stress the chinese role in most cases very positive they try to bring

peace and stability in the world they need it because the preoccupied with the internal problems with their internal development and they need peaceful environment let's not talk about china's relations with another superpower america how they develop and at the moment well you know china had a leader who used to say about soviet american relations soviet union in the united states the two superpowers collude and polite they try to work together with the same time they do have problems so i would describe it in the same way now relations between china and the united states they depend on each other they understand it very well they depend their canonically their they depend politically both countries understand that every issue in the world has to be handled. on the basis of cooperation between them but the same time they they are competitors america wants to be number one it tries to be number one it's been trying to be number one for many years and china is

a challenge the challenge is growing asia in the pacific japan and south korea which elyse of the united states but they already have more trade with china than within ited states recently i talked to one diplomat from thailand in moscow and i said to him what is china's role in your foreign policy and he said you know our prime minister he used to start his day by reading new york times now she starts his day by hearing what is what is said in her miserable in the chinese newspaper china is becoming more important for many countries so it's become more. puled and more dangerous for america it will it becomes more important and more dangerous china doesn't want to be in the american camp has different interests and on many issues and they do have issues on where they collide it's taiwan issue japan submitted to roll and there are some other issues and in addition to the chinese feel that americans not only challenge their positions in the world but they're not

interested interested in the growth of the chinese economy in the modernization of china and they suspect that americans interfere with internal affairs of china we have the bit we have the issues of we have other problems inside china and chinese feel that americans are behind it as they say it's not only hollywood actors who support people into bills and protests but it's also american special services it's american government as you mentioned that another sensitive issue with fresh air on china from natasha community is there any way we could see them doing if you talk about in the national community you talk mostly about the worst russia is not part of the west we don't put any pressure on china on this issue to build is a part of china has been with china for centuries and to britain they live ten times better than you used to live. last century even thirty years ago and they have more freedom than biggest at the same time we don't know they have separatists

and those subvert is sometimes a very warlike and they cause trouble for the chinese government so chinese has no choice but to try to stop them this tradition on the korean peninsula it's hot in up just a while ago that your ass in south korea had joint military exercises in the pacific something north korea was strongly opposed to was china stance on north korea is the only official ally of china trained you support and korea in the korean war imagine if you consider the last one million people and of course they treasure those relations they want to you know to stay alive so. most korea at the same time they do understand that north korean economy doesn't work well they encourage north koreans to promote reforms to make the continent more market oriented they try to encourage north korea to be more open to the world and they're very much against north korea having nuclear weapons but they do say chinese that the reason most

korea wants to have nuclear weapons is because america doesn't preclude most most korea puts pressure on north korea and the bush for example was very warlike against north korea the chinese way or dealing with this issue is to see to the table and try to solve issues in a peaceful way and chinese say that america should recognize north korea as a independent country they don't have diplomatic relations so far and america should start political economic relations with north korea and as a result most korea will stop change and this is the basic position of china in the basic position of the purpose of both china and russia now to bring those parties at the table and continue negotiations it's not talking about russia and china other two countries called for a saying or rather competing today i would say that corporate and work are pretty much better than we called paraded ever before even when we were allies in the

fifty's negativities we didn't have such a corporation as we have now and i think over and over because our relations are based on the very solid basis first of all we have the same outlook as far as the international system is concerned we wanted to be multiple they wanted to do multiple not controlled by the united states or the west but based on the united nations on international law and on collective decisions of all countries of the world and it's very important this all to look at the world because it's the. security of the country that's the way we feel but feel that our security can be guaranteed only if such a system is established and changes have the same plane as number two on most international issues most come create international issues we have similar positions it's career. it's expensive enough nate it's middle east.

in addition to this we did have problems from history it's the border question and the military. gauge once you have the border i mean. troops on the both sides all this issues were solved another factor is that we don't have ideological differences which existed in the soviet times as i said we were allies but then because of their ideological differences and geopolitical differences and the board they should cetera et cetera we became less and another factor which helps to improve relations and to promote relations between russia and china is a kind of x. factor we have economic dependence some people in russia say that china's growing to fester and it's becoming stronger than russia so the balance of power is changing and the chinese favor so china can become a threat but i replied to those people that back in the beginning of the twentieth century there were people in russia quite

a few by the way politicians draw on the lists writers who used to say that china is going to be threat number one to russia in the twentieth century instead of this we did have two wars against our christian brothers in the west and we didn't fight chinese we didn't have a of world war with china that big war china's impressive economic growth has that to environmental concerns across the country dealing with it and it's a table today with that call would trickle in china i would even say it's maybe a threat number one it's awful what's happened china you know you have some. city switch because of cold light of the whole cities and. not enough water. not enough for many of the things which are available to the normal developed countries so it's extremely difficult issue and i don't know how the chinese are going to cope with it because if they put too much emphasis on

a college or the economy gross will go down and chinese cannot afford the the gross is not like it is now unemployment will go up dramatically and it's already very very large in china and other social problems will. pile up so it's a big issue and i don't know if anybody has a positive sort of saying that while we're going to use everything it's going to be . china today is among the world's most unequal societies there are many poor people living in china today how is the country doing with that while this is again the very big problem they are trying to lead to say that. much more this is on the social situation on this social different situation. but again as i said the they do have to develop their economy so. it's also the.
