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 in all 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 german philosopher 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 you 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 felt 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 in your opinion does it have anything to

do with the fact that china has 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 a 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 so they are not ashamed of having you or 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 there can be very very. fierce fighting but in general they are willing to embrace you and talk about their feelings china

socialist or capitalist they are fighting for. 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 and the nine hundred 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 spared argues that china is

a country without ideology do you agree with that it doesn't have any it's in search for and i 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 west so bachna 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 there are searching for acknowledged land for a position in the world they do not have enough self-confidence including the china 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 the right i don't know maybe because they are attacked. much more than then like nada 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 fadia 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 wants to have to pull session 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 the role in the world that they slowly growing into simply. kaname the growing size of the economy and by the number of people so i asked your husband

whether china was trying to read become an empire and be emergent to 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 all the other empires that followed. 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 has a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. plays culture of it i mean the influence that the louis 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. or are you know the. when they have their own people who stand for and then what they own. which let's say and i'm not very good on the pop bands 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 dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people are even talking they 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 so when the u.s. will hit rock bottom 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 gap to the situation and invest with the let's say we can in dollar or not so i think they they're going to work it out in the smart enough to do so also one more question china is more and more a search. south china sea do you think china is a country that actually could envisage a conflict well it's a but but it wouldn't i mean it's too smart to you can't win wars anymore so why

would trying to 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 release start a war on on either side so no the ass posturing there's a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strength to its people but you know we don't we don't think this thing china strategies for russia they've been very good friends some they've been not so good friends so i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking trade but they are very close neighbors so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe doris nies pick thank you very much for this and to make you.

a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street they have. a decent chance. to try to get the status of the human spirit it's good to. see this run. was literally trying to send some really clear to me and it's all came. to me to you don't put into markets and.

a dream season for. kontinental hockey league is busy continuing its expansion across europe slovakian side lead where the leave aside to join the kitchell ranks this season on the league isn't finished yet as robert for tonya reports. these game moments are twenty years old the goal scored with no wind of skill in essence the game was hokey played at a high level the surprising part it's not canada. or russia it's italy. it's the players claiming one of their numerous domestic titles in style from the early ninety's. always famous as a bit i mean we have a very long history about hockey and in milan or in milan or in a very very long because we started. nineteen twenty three the first

being there was three of the milanov and one we were one of the first in europe the hockey fans here in milan love the game so are excited by this game and probably there's some people being fired a bit sick of football for other reasons saw there some kind of research for new motions and i believe i saw case is perfect for that nevertheless ice hockey still some distance from topping fill both in terms of popularity here a sentiment echoed by a person from the moment of the game canada now calls me on the phone it's play would love but it because it's it's still very underappreciated you don't get the same emotion you know and so you can be mad for a minute but it passes very quickly as opposed to a canadian hockey match it's talked about for you know for months if not for the whole season and so it's that is a huge difference in watching

a comedian game versus an italian game this is the stand to reason one of the main venues for the two thousand and six weeks or olympic program five years own and there is barely a reminder. of the epic hockey battles that took place here the ice rink was removed soon after the games finished allowing the stadium to become the new home for the event those and three enough food book clubs one hundred miles east however things brighter local outfit no longer salute are set to join the kontinental hockey league in twenty twelfth finally they move that we have been agreed that we have a couple minutes in terms of the organization to join the league of course is not going to be a very good for five feet but. we have time to to develop the company sequel to two thousand and six winter olympics didn't affect the popularity of hockey in

a country at all of course the games were a great event for the telling people stadiums are renovated and a lot of infrastructure developed so some local clubs did get a lot then but not the telling game as a whole in this respect the kitchen is another chance for us not only for milan but for the entire country to take a significant step forward you know they don't appear to buckle much more than the addition of versa blue may seem like a small step for the kid but for the club itself it is quite simply and massively. robert gordon r.t. italy. part two of robert's report on the club coming up in a couple of hours time now finally in the boxing ring dewey bozella has proved that it's never too late to land a few solid punches and make one's dreams come true the fifty two year old winning his first professional bites after being wrongfully imprisoned for half his life his opponents laurie hopkins a full twenty two years younger started gamely but was unable to end his own three
