now they believe that harsh criticism from the u.s. would ensure a healthy human rights ad most fear in the country but the response from one of the top ranking u.s. security officials who spoke to the opposition leaders was that it shows the incompetence of the current opposition in the country and that they have to learn to negotiate with their thirty's on their own in achieving their goals and that even though during the bush administration the us has shown support to the countries opposition the situation has changed nowadays it is up to russian activists to build up their relations with their administration with very true larding on america so much has changed in the relation between russia and the united states since the bush administration of especially after the so-called resets of the relations between russia and the united states but at how do the presidential election in two thousand and twelve russia's opposition wants the

8:05 am
research center forty seven percent of americans think china is the world's leading economic power only thirty one percent think america. that's certainly the opinion among students at millinocket school in maine which will welcome paying chinese students to close its budget gap next year i think the chinese are going to be total shock i think about high tech in a way more advanced than us but ten times more money in like in a better society and then you look at eisenhower like whore and nothing as hu jintao towards the u.s. capitol american officials are eager to quell fears about what a rising china could mean for the world's only superpower still some analysts say that the united states should be focusing on what it can learn from china rather than merely containing it china knows how to develop they're doing it we are expanding boring and consuming rather than say begin testing for the future a sentiment echoed by many we spoke to a lot to learn terms of productivity organizational resources and also having
8:06 am
a culture that values hard work. i think they're trying to develop their economy and share some of the wealth with the folks economically politically militarily china is on the rise and while the u.s. put education on the chopping block this year china invested four percent of its g.d.p. in primary and secondary schools in poor rural area chinese universities are mushroom in all across the country and increasingly attracting prestigious foreign professors and even american students like philadelphia native zachary franklin seemed. just a better decision to be in the country learning about economics where so much is happening economically getting a master's in shanghai doesn't mean crippling student loans chinese students themselves you know not plane absorbing amounts of money for an education in this country. china is also speeding ahead on high speed rail lines in massive
8:07 am
infrastructure chinese officials say they will complete the first eco city by two thousand and twenty which will be home to three hundred fifty thousand as u.s. lawmakers squabble for years over who will fit the bill for every high speed rail link bridge or metro expansion rather just adds stream so we've got to hold interstate highway system where you gigantic infrastructure projects in u.s. history city more unified as a people are moving in a positive direction that i wish we could say this president obama has plenty to put on the table as he hosts his chinese counterpart at the first u.s. china state dinner but will the white house be equally eager to learn from its gas and ford r t washington d.c. . well analyst down the muscle believes the u.s. and china are all codependent but have chosen a to compete for global leadership the rising china is not against the prevailing edgemont in the world america but the rise of china is weak in the hedge
8:08 am
market system itself and what i mean by that is that globalization which is a western driven reach driven project. has facilitated the rise of china so china rises so much as the west allows it to rise but now that china is stronger and feels more secure they're starting to weaken issued its on the oh they're starting to try to create a consumption class within china itself become more self-sustaining. so american china have a very codependent relationship in which china finances america's debt allowing america to be militaristic around the world controlling resources america consumes chinese products which are developed cheaply benefiting both china and america so they're incredibly dependent and in terms of finance and banking they're heavily heavily integrated but there's also it's a schizo phrenic relationship in a sense because they're also each other's greatest competitors and this is mostly seen in the competition for global resources and this has been outlined in strategy
8:09 am
papers in america since the early ninety's where the aim is to prevent the rise of the power by controlling world resources. and won't sign of the west vibe for the world from schools whose wall street isn't sitting idle kinds and i think they have it explained how those behind the u.s. financial crash of two thousand and nine to at it again and this time with government help the kinds of important coming your way later today. this psychological profile of jamie dimon lloyd blankfein goal as morgan this guy daily is that of the arsonist the arsonist likes to burn things down their pyromaniacs here on wall street you've got debt maniacs they like to destroy things with debt and they like the price of debt to be as cheap as a pack of matches if the price of dead is a cheap as a pack of matches as it is now they can continue to burn things down to destroy the
8:10 am
economy like they're doing at this very moment and what is the obama administration doing they are giving the pyromaniacs and the arsonist more starting fluid more lighter fluid more matches whatever they need to destroy the economy so you have to ask the question is obama in the pocket of the financial terrorists yes he says don't know. now it's one of the biggest of its kind but still on intelligence countering fightin an israeli death it went unnoticed for decades out until an investment agenda sponsored it on a fuck light image also has put a full story. many israelis have probably driven past year and not cast a second glance a few satellite dishes outside a little known town in the may give desert but this is no ordinary military base
