the first day by the report and reached a set of important agreements on an issue prices. the engineers during closed culture of china remain a mystery to much of the outside world are you so sure now the speaks with dorie snags but author and director of the names but china institute intend to find out what lies behind the enigmatic facade. doris nesbitt thank you very much for being with us today thank you very much for having me so in your opinion why has china and still remains to greatest mystery for thinkers and scholars because there's too little interest to get to get behind the mystery and how something stays a mystery if you don't have enough interest to to open the curtain. there's also

you know somebody said that a philosopher sherman for the also first said that most people do not want to learn something new but what took at confirmation of something they already believe in and i think that's very much the case in china we have a certain picture of china and i wouldn't think exclude myself ten years ago levin years ago before i went to china for the first time i had a certain picture of china which was not really matching reality but then it depends on your willing to change the picture or do you stick with what you think how is it changed ten years on for you well. i was thinking the chinese a mr mysterious people you know you can't really trust them and you never know what they think i thought that the country was much more backwards than it turned out to be. the fact is that the chinese have have still have and still today

have kind of an innocence and openness once they trust you they embrace you and they really become friends with you and you can criticize a lot you know you can also was chinese politicians we talk a lot of. things in china that are not as they should be. you can be very open but it has to come out of a positive spirit. and not of just looking for the negative spots well you talk about innocence where does that come from your theory and does it have anything to do with the fact that china's been communist for so long. and no no i think it has to do with the with the structure of having the community first and then the individual that meant you were always part of something you were part of a family a part of a community part of the city part of a province and the country and helping each other being together was part of

survival and that's that's when they when you get to know the chinese and when they embrace ok i'm not ashamed of having all we love you and we admire you and and it's so sweet that openness i'm not saying that every chinese is sweet there is a lot of competition that can be very very. fierce fighting but in general they are willing to embrace you and talk about their feelings so is china socialist or capitalist. fight king or. making their dreams come true and the fight is something sometimes a little fierce because for a long time they couldn't make their dreams come true they couldn't lift the life they wanted and now specially for the generation that's one in the ninety's ninety's who has not to live through all the hard shift and the changes you know

they they really demand that they can do whatever they want to do and that's going to be a new situation in china with a china ration that has grown up with communication systems with western. with information about everything that you can achieve in life and they're going to fight for achieving that they have goals they want to they want to be the best your husband john and i state argues that china is a country without ideology do you agree with that it doesn't have any it's in search for an i be all that she and i would replace the word there's a lot of search for meaning because. when you are starving making an income that's enough you know you don't need any other goals but once you have your basic income once you make a economic dreams come true to

a certain degree. then you realize that's not everything in life and i have a column in china you stated the second largest newspaper and i get a lot of emails in reaction to the column and many of the questions are. you know what is really the sense of what's really the meaning of life what can i do with my life and how can i serve my country that's something that you wouldn't hear from the rest so much you know how could i serve my country it's much more how can i so how can the country serve me and that search for meaning for spirit. that that we can increasingly feel could be that they're searching for self identification in twenty first century. there are quite communists but now there are so strong economically they are searching for acknowledgement for

a position in the world they do not have enough self-confidence including the china as a as a country they have achieved so much but but they don't really. to look at themselves and say well what we did why is there a i don't know maybe because they are attacked. much more than then. and it's not that everything is great in china lots of things that we don't agree with that we need to be in but the west is very much focusing on the radios and on the flaws. and i think we should have a fallon's that. there is a lot of good things and of course they have to work on the not so things do you think china is striving to be number one country in the world to be this huge superpower or is it just happening. i i hesitate because deep

inside i think china wants to be the middle kingdom and once you have to pull station had it once head that's in the in the in the you know the history of china has really an empire is not out of the chinese head but they are not fighting to dominate the world but they they they want to play their role in the world that they are slowly growing into simply. kaname the growing size of the economy and by the number of people say i asked your husband whether china was trying to read because an empire and b. emerge into an imperialist state because if they're not fighting for it but they're fighting for it economically because they're building ties with weaker countries. could it be that they will be become an empire that dominates the world by growing economic ties with other countries i don't know whether we're live in the world

where you really have well really one nation can become a. dominant empire like the roman empire and and all the other and pious and fall of. i don't think it's in this way and also i think that there's quite a ways to go and you know america is a fourteen trillion economy and. only once or one fourth of it so they have a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. plays culturally i mean the influence that this has in the culture of the globe is a much higher one and i think that's one of the things that china is really really has to establish what is its cultural identity in the twenty first century and when we have a chinese armani when they do not call peak. you

know the. when they have only people who stand for and then what they own. which let's say and i'm not very good on the band so but you know what i mean they they have to create the chinese brand the cultural leadership that still is in the hand of the u.s. in many ways but right now in china is about one third of the u.s. for in depth and the dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people are even talking that you could devalue the future. what is the smartest way out of this impasse for china i think you know economists are correlated or are having different opinions so i really would not claim that i have the answer to that it will also have found a solid ground and then rise because it's not that the capacity of the u.s.

is gone the capacity is still there and the chinese are very smart to get to the situation and invest with the let's say we can in dollar or not so i think they they are going to work it out in the smart enough to do so also one more question china is more and more assertive in the south china sea do you think china is a. country that actually could envisage a conflict now. but it wouldn't i mean it's too smart to you can't win wars anymore so why would china really start a war which would be destructive for china itself so while there's a lot of posturing on the political side economically you know it's it's much too much integrated to really start a war on either side so you know there's posturing there's a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strength to its people but but you know we don't we don't think this is what i think china strategies for

russia they've been very good friends and they've been not so good friends i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking trade but now they are very close neighbor us so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe doris nice pick thank you very much for this interview. i am nature and discover its buzy many. legs a communicate with the wild. test yourself and become three. zero and see what nature can give you

hello good morning good to have you company and these are the headlines six of the best russia qualify for next summer's european championships for the six no thrashing of one dollar. wall from scrape past bosnia to reach the finals as denmark stunned portugal to book their place. and gearing up late call up jose did and stephen don't pump on with the new zealand squad ahead of their current semifinal with rival to strike the rugby world cup. now russia have booked their place in the euro two thousand and twelve championships after a thumping six know when the over and door in moscow the host of the damage in the first half as they scored four with alan does a grabbing a brace and then they added two more in the second forty five minutes watching it was rich poor thing. russia only knew the points coming into van clash

van dora for the whole country was expecting much much more from dick advocaat side spatial call in what is officially the world's joint worst side. under fifty thousand fans who turned out to watch than didn't have to wait long for the first goals of the child's avoid making his second goal in as many games for the national side after only five minutes to the hosts or a class about their opponents some would double barely midway through the home of a ciggy not shave each of the slightest of touches to undo a shopping spree cake where the russians won finished but only one ones by more than a single goal in this qualification campaign but they were determined when that run against van doren is and little man probably change limited free only thirty minutes or so ago if continued his rich vein of form holding the twenty one year old scoring a fine goal on the stroke of half trying to take his tally to four for the national scene which in the unsurprisingly the hosts eased off in the second half however

diesel should call find time to score his first ever goal for his country to make the score five nil from substitute junior billiard deneuve was making a rare appearance she competes of the randall perhaps for goal of the night here it's on the field or picking the ball up and for a run twenty meters on it well time left foot seans which gave the visitors keeper no chance jubilation for the russians and for denise too should call for thank you crown this wayne with his first ever goal and he was happy to give the fans a performance to savor. since everyone is over the moon at the moment we played really well today and it's nice to give the fans something to cheer about a lot of supporters came out to cheer us on today and the coach said it was time we started scoring more goals for them russia had dominated every man played in this qualification campaign and igor some show of was delighted that his side managed to win for only the second time one more home. one goal in their qualifying group but

after that it was nice to start finding the back of the net we've played well throughout the group like when we drew here with garlands nil nil when we lost against slovakia but we weren't able to score but luck was on our side tonight. we got the cats first campaign as england as russia managed to win a qualification read for the first time in a decade but man the hard work starts with dutch men that's around eight months to prepare his side of euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland and ukraine if you don't r.t. moscow. well afterwards take out the car said he was relieved russia did not have to enter the playoffs and reveal the team we're not prepared for a friendly but he criticized some clubs for being reluctant and letting their place turn out for the national side. is that. so hopefully the club's owners are happy as well sometimes i have some doubts about it because we can play two front images next game in the world already some

protests from some owners so i don't understand that was the way they think because i think they have to think about well because the so important so we are willing to think about the gloves as well so we only play one one game and hopefully don't they are happy for him to be against his office he wanted to play much tougher opposition from the french have been playing recently against the likes of iran qatar no disrespect of m. but the opposition with a savior is going to much tougher so you know in prison we know. it already but we still get must get the goal from asian to morrow so i can and so forth the medicine is no zero point. you still can say richard. this is how great be finished russia it's all followed by all and you go into the playoffs of expensive amini after beating them seeing one. i see the ice so many games he's won the best in the group it was sort of. the.

first in the put us he said it is a great resource. blows the. we believe. only fifty fifty percent because no. since you do as you forgot to qualify as well elsewhere france top their group after a draw against bosnia who needed victory in paris to qualify automatically adding jacko had given it even of his is the lead there was a great strike in the first half but the late sam announcing penalty in france a point to send them to the european championships for bosnia he never qualified for a major tournament and the playoffs so let's have a look at all the teams that have qualified joining hoshi crane i'm told and all russia and france england denmark have made it after beating portugal two one in
