could be slowing now it started discovers more about china's role in the new world order. the world has been desoldering recent years 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 off to the u.s. but overwhelming growth bring some serious challenges environmental financial social and political just call us where they can 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 guinea 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 here in the spin over he did all the time because they have for

a disproportionate between sectors of the economy which grow very fast for example in the street 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 they 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 go further i think they still have potential one of the chinese yuan strong becoming the world's. reserve currency to yes to or talk to train news and ask this question 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 the some of them already use this currency in some cases like mongolia like laos cambodia cetera but to say that it can replace american dollar i think it's possible in the forseeable future and chinese even a billion dollars they don't try to destroy dollars because they understand that

they put happens the whole world the column will go to pieces how big is china's role in global politics today. one of the major political challenges the country is now facing china is a permanent member of the u.n. security council and china is one of the greatest economy in congress 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 and 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 the child they understand it very well they depend the konami the 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 a look at asia and the pacific japan and south korea which elyse of the united states but they already have more trade with china than with the night is this 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 the new york times now he starts his day by here. what is what is said in a miserable in the chinese newspaper china is becoming more important for many countries to become more important or more dangerous for america or it will it becomes more important and more dangerous china doesn't want to be in the american campaign and has different interests and on many issues and they do have issues on where they collide it's taiwan issue japan's militar role and there are some other issues and in addition to the chinese field americans not only challenge their positions in the world but they're not interested interested in the growth of the chinese economy in the modern musician of china and the suspect that americans interfere with internal affairs of china we have the issue of bit we have the issues of injun 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 and to build and since their own separate use but it's also american special services it's american government as you mentioned about another sensitive issue with pressure on china from the national community is there any way we could see the hill doing if you talk about international community you talk mostly about the west russia is not part of the west we don't put any pressure on china on this issue to be it is a part of china is being with china for centuries and to britain they live ten times better than used to live. let's say the last century even thirty years ago and they have more freedom than they used to have at the same time we don't know they have separatists and those subvert the sometimes a very warlike and they cause trouble for the chinese government so chin is has no choice but to try to stop them this tradition on the korean peninsula is hotting up just a while ago the yassin south korea had joint military exercises in the pacific something north korea was strongly opposed to was china's stance on north korea is the only

official ally of china chinese porton korea in the korean. war in one hundred fifty fiftieth's or the last one million people and of course they treasure those relations they want to you know to stay allies of 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 economy 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 profit most most korea puts pressure on north korea and the bush for example was very warlike against north korea the chinese way of 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 as an 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 russia so the purpose of both china and russia now to bring those part this again at the table and continue negotiations it's not talking about russia and china other two countries called for racing or rather competing today i would say that where corporate and work are pretty much better than we corporation ever before even when they were allies in the fifty's imagine fifty's we didn't have such a corporation as we have now and i think only because our relations have based on the very soul that basis first of all we would have the same outlook as far as the international system is concerned we wanted to be multiple they wanted

to be 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 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 chinese have the same plane as number two on most international issues most come create international issues we have similar positions it's korea it's a run its expansion of nato its middle east. in addition to this we did have problems left from history it's the border question and the military. engagements near 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 settle said where we became us and at another factor which helps to improve relations and to promote relations between russia and china is the economic factor we have economic dependence some people in russia say that china is growing too fast and it's becoming stronger than russia so the balance of power is changing in 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 journalists writers who used to say that china is going to be spread number one through 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 world war with china that big war china's impressive economic growth has that to

environmental concerns has a country dealing with it and is a table today with a. a threat in china i would even say it's maybe a threat number one it's awful what's happening in china where you have some. cities which would because of call my son of them the whole cities and is awful not enough for what. not enough for many other things which are available to 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 as gross will go down and chinese cannot afford if the the gross is is not like it is now then 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 answer to that saying that while in twenty years everything's going to be over much china today is among the world's most unequal societies there are many poor people living in china today how is the country to do with that while this is again the very big problem they're trying their leaders say that we should put much emphasis on the social situation on this social different situation. but again as i said the do have to develop their problems so. that it's also the least it's very difficult situation we can see china is now facing many challenges they will be able to deal with them and. i would i would say there is a big chance they can do it but nobody can be certain that will happen life is that you know struggle who expected the collapse of the soviet union where

a superpower one of the strongest so. countries in the world that cetera et cetera we had the developed economies to do cation etc and then. with a lapse. of course there is a chance china could collapse like this but. it myself used to predict that it would happen twenty years ago fifteen years ago ten years ago we didn't have them so they they do have a chance to continue going like this thank you and i see you getting for your time . soon which brightened a few songs from funds to. these

a rather new johnno in the world of skydiving however remember the name of the sixteen and was grown discipline of parachuting canopy piloting entails a pilot turning his parachute into a routine dive dramatically increasing its speed this is then glide downward like birds of prey it taking their victims as they fly less than a metre off the ground and in speeds of more than one hundred kilometers per hour. but this is one of the most dangerous forms of parachuting speed is very high and every mistake in biology and can result in serious injury that's why only very experienced skydivers take part inside competitions and the safety requirements increase every year so a competitor can be disqualified for performance and aggressive dangerous drink. there are always lots of spectators at these events as the action happens not up high in the sky but right in front of them more graciously of an artificial pond

all the tricks are often stream difficulty and the performed over the water to make it safe for the world championship and canopy piloting takes account of three criteria accuracy speed and distance this year's competition had its challenges as the weather conditions were poor because of smoke from the fires in russia and some flights were canceled however the didn't stop the biggest of swooping jason moleski becoming the overall champion for me it was really nice to come back here again i have won gold medals here twice in the past and i always held an affection for this drop song for the people here are buddies very friendly and they did a great job organizing it just makes it really nice to be here and be able to compete here russians kind o. is are always among the hope for a writ but not in swooping however alexander go. often has made history becoming the first ever russian to claim a medal in canopy piloting going to finish first of all this discipline is new in parachuting it started in the u.s.
