as china's rampant economic growth and political influence continues we take a look at how big a challenge this is for the world next is our special interview with john this bit an expert on the country. john i say thank you very much for being with us today it's a pleasure sir thank you for having me to china has been a mystery for scholars throughout centuries why is it such a challenge for thinkers these days up till these days everything is revealed now it's now it's a good challenge they were still in charge and so i was still in charge of well. you know first thousands of years there was such an insulated isolated place that others didn't come in and it's only been relatively in recent years there were

a lot of people tried to i myself have been going there for forty four years since nine hundred sixty seven but that's new for westerners to spend so much time there were two did before but now they're all over the place although i think the western report is not very good about china but there are a lot of people there and my wife and i have been. going there for the last ten years and but it's still kind of a mystery it's because of their language it's because it's a country now with no ideology and someone said there david history was their religion in china and i think that's true in a sense that that's the only thing that really holds everything together now and not the only thing but you know. they have that kind of reverence for their history which they know so well through through all of the dynasties and so on and which the west has a was a zero information about and that's why it's

a big mystery you touched upon the ideology and the side effect china has no ideology but how good is it to be a country without an ideology when you're striving to be a superpower isn't just enough to. sir send a message only about economic prosperity without any other ideology well there's some concern about that but china didn't have an ideology before communism really. they venerate confucius but that's that's the only religion it's kind of a code of living so there are people searching in different directions the united states for example doesn't have a ideology i mean very little i mean you know there's the american dream and so on but you know the people have all kinds of ideologies all kinds of religious face and so and they're all over the place and i guess the only thing that reveals everyone together is the very idea that there is freedom in the united states and

you can make yourself or you can and so forth and a little of that is involved now in china to was not a question everyone asks themselves is china socialism or is it a car at all isn't it i'm not even talking in terms of ideology but in terms of the regime it's not socialism but it's socialism and chinese characters now if you can figure out what that means that would be that would help a lot because no one knows what it means it's not a socialist country it's not a communist country but you know here we're sitting in russia i think about this at the end of the last century two great countries gave up communism russia and china and what's happened china is number number two in the world economically russia's rule stuck in the mud by day and energy too much energy in their economy and too little energy in the people to be there they'd like way behind of these two countries to gave up congress a very interesting study i don't think it's been done but it's certainly an

interesting question. how did china do it and and why is russia couldn't do it why do russia's not done so to speak but we just brought up an interesting point asked for the bric countries killed it. kept up with china's growth can that be a problem for countries that china is developing so rapidly let's put this in context china has gone from one hundred forty seventh in the world to number two in the economy the role in the last thirty three years but u.s. economy is still four times spigot the u.s. economy is way of here and there clustered together are china germany and japan way down here and in. only one fourth or one third the size of the u.s. so the u.s. only has to get a couple of percentage points or three percentage for that in china you can still call it eight or nine which are probably won't but for for for that for it to be

a long time arithmetic way you can figure it out before china catches up if it ever does you know regardless all the credit with china does face some major problems like gender inequality income inequality corruption and by mental issues could that undermine the growth well you know all of these problems and these these are the problems of china are talked about and written about in newspapers and magazines and speeches all over china all the time this is totally open china says that their biggest problem is the growing inequality the growing income gap between urban and rural. and the answer your question is no because it's so so openly talked about and we monitor it with our institute in india we monitor all of the provinces in the newspapers and all the problems with the two biggest issues that are in the story of pages and the news pages are corruption and the environment and dealing

dealing with both of those these are issues that are not hidden these are the most talked about facing china and the leadership the broad china this. or is there leadership that you have to imagine here and you can continue to deal with those problems or you can. do a little better job as it goes along now let's talk and paralyse as china is slowing growing ties with weaker asia and african countries the kind of aid the chinese are giving to africa and to some other countries differs very greatly from what the west when the west was giving it was it was a government to government you know who knows what happened in the money the chinese make a deal they say here's the deal we will build you an airport we will be jewish sports stadiums and so forth and you agree to sell us or oil and energy we need at

market price. and it's the africans many africans describe it as a win win. range meant versus what the west has been doing with their aid programs all these years so china is absolutely connected with africa as well as as well as asia because of how smart they've been in the arrangements they have to to create win win situations for those countries so it's economy only and not their will to evolve into or encourage states building them part you know their china china it's never been. acquisitional country to begin with but they're making their arrangements are very deals not to acquire anyone or to build an empire but to it's mostly on an economic basis to to to assure themselves of the resources that they

need for the rapid growth they are experiencing and they are in our view will continue to experience so here's what also many people think that with this economic and military press china is poised to become the center of the new mobile . it's a lot of money all the world and by the way there they have been building their military but it's still you know the u.s. has a military that's equal to all the other militaries of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about multi i over world but last century it was in soviet union and us this century to be very simple minded about it this century is the us and china that bipolar that world is going to be dominated by the bipolar connection of china and us and people will make countries will make decisions and calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the response of the u.s.

and or china that there will be a bipolar world replace thing they soviet you know to us but on a very different basis so no not for not yes a cold war but sort of a cold war but with the soviet union on an ideological basis with china on economic what do you think china's strategy is in relations to russia china well here's the i'll summarize the strategy russia is the biggest producer of oil in the world china is the biggest consumer consumer of energy in the world that's that dictates the strategy john i speak thank you very much for this interview thank you very much. mission free cretaceous free in-store chargers free. range month

head the visitors on the attack first this is only three minutes in the game kevin karami makes one nil. but after that this is. two minutes of the second often money will be fines brazilian ari how after a little bit of messing around in the box he finally finds the next one that one would end in seventy points that's one point. you haven't won one of the last three games. then the champions themselves were an auction. is it meets but it was routine and read here scoring the games for. seventy minutes one window here surface a mock five minutes after the break. saying no no we're going to get back into this game blistering shell two on routine but then andrea shaaban was having a stormer since return from arsenal he scored sixty eight minutes in to two meetings in each on beaten run stretches back to september from last year thirteen

a three year deal with me. brooklyn nets this fiasco moscow forward who is currently preparing for the euro league final four tournaments. standing relationship with the nets owner is expected to join the newly created club at the end of the european season for lincoln signed with the army man as a free agent during the n.b.a. lockout and he decided to play the season in russian spy making it offers from the us a thirty one year old hotshot a superb sixty percent average from the field just cus. i the american football world has been rocked with the news that one of the n.f.l.'s best linebackers of the one nine hundred ninety s. has passed away former chargers dolphins on patriots star junior see how dying in his california home aged just forty three from what's appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his chest see out started his career nine hundred ninety and paid for sunday a go through to two thousand and two he led the chargers to the team's only super bowl appearance in one thousand nine hundred four losing to the san francisco forty

nine er's c.l. tragically becoming the member of thought your squad to die prematurely he would make the n.f.l. all decade time of the ninety's before retiring for a period in two thousand and nine years. so this was his home this is worse routes were. any couldn't do enough off the field for the youth than anybody could help he helped and i think people remember him for that and they should. and finally ice hockey where russia has not finished their preparations ahead of the world championships which face off tomorrow the red machine boosted with a strong reinforcement from the n.h.l. including if giving malkin on public doubts meaning gold is very much the ng. zito i believe deal of has not been in charge of the russian mission or skokie team for almost a year and the world championship will be the biggest test for the coach so for now

despite the fact that russia's mean a nice building a team for their home olympics and twenty fourteen winning the world title will. i act as a huge confidence boost ahead of those searching games if the team plays like i want them to play hell be satisfied we should see the tech six were supposed to be applying however the result is very important as well if we have a soul it team ready to battle we will achieve a good result the red machine has already received reinforcements from the n.h.l. the color of the avalanche simone bar llama seems to be the first choice between the pipes while the n.h.l. is best forward you game that is worth being wins will surely add more goals to the team staley and the detroit red wings sans are bottled up soup will join the side in sweden but neither model can not at soup has yet to leave to the world championship trophy but we're good friends with zuckerman it's good that detroit were knocked out of the stanley cup and he can join the team he's one of the best

players in the world it's a pleasure to play alongside him and hopefully we'll get a positive result this time millie dean of still hasn't named his final roster and has reserved three places for players from north america whose teams will be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs however nothing can stop russia's youngest forward t.v. from going to his first ever world championship. in one thousand year old is often compared with malkan and the pair were playing in the same line at the training camp. but malkin is a great player and of course a bluff to play with him and that would be an on or for me to be in the same line as him but it's up to the coaches to decide the red machine face is allowed to be in the open on saturday day two of the world championships and as usual russia are among the favorites with a new ish coach behind the bench and a solid rooster on the ice and say about half of our t.v. . that's where we leave the sport for this hour i'll be back in just two hours time
