race parallel to the current trade war and might regional militarization endangered decades of peace in southeast asia and all else conflict between beijing and washington be avoided. scenario no as you go well come to the show it's really great to have you with us. so colonel according to the. spokesperson for the national people's congress china's growing military spending is necessary to ensure the country's security does this mean that china is facing security threats today and if so who or which country. such a threat. thank you sophie since he's right china won't take any country as a strat but china does have a threat because china is still a country that is not really unified and china does have a land border dispute with. one and 2 countries china also have time to speak use with some countries besides since the world has changed.

is faced with was way cold nontraditional threats which is a common thread to all people therefore we have to spend more money on military spending but having said that the traditional speaking we would cut the money into 3 potions one focus and no one for equipment and a while for training now because of china's ever growing overseas interest and its increasing international responsibility will have the new missions therefore we have to expend having said that. we still would conclude that logically that china's rise has been so peaceful so in the last 40 years china's rise has been peaceful this is recognised by the world so i know we have manage our best to keep our ministry at a low level which is always

a slight to 1.5 percent so you have you have mentioned expenditure and it's true that the worldwide stefanski ending is growing china is 2nd only to the united states and you spend more and more money every year so if i may i would like to ask you a question in more narrow sense would you say that the arms race is a debtor and against an all out conflict with another major power well i hope not but. first of all off the cold war we do not have made just threats around the world for example and more than 20 navies come by to. piracy the gulf of aden that shows actually there was no major threat from another point of view but as sam time we do have some. inconvenient a situation or difficult time in that for example the united states has of taken china and russia as a primary competitors as this was released. 2 major documents one is

a security strategy another defense strategy so therefore we are i believe we have entered a new situation where people feel more nervous about comparable situation so the shock i call peroration organization is going to hold major anti-terrorism drills this error would that be fair to say that this trail is helped to create a russian chinese military or alliance. i don't think so because i'm happy you mention about shanghai cooperation organization actually in a chart of shanghai cooperation organization is made quite clear that this kind of cooperation is not a dire record against any parties china and russia doing joy very good a relationship which was described as a comprehensive a strategic partnership of condemnation and as well reflected in exercises with

shanghai cooperation organization or even by natural exercises over years we have a saying the exercise is expanding i think in terms of subjects or in terms of scope with faraday the un they made it to raining in the baltic sea in the south china sea and the sea of japan which really reflects the good relationship between the 2 countries so one of the latest pentagon reports refers to china's military forces as the quote china's military threat does beijing perceive this report as a provocation what is the united states trying to achieve here. well that is a good question sophie because we are wondering why the u.s. would take china as a 1st original country and then as a primary competitor if you look at the china policy we would conclude the launch

claims that chinese policy has been fairly consistent either towards the united states or the rest of the world i think this question is good but should be a good question for america to answer because my question is the united states doesn't seem to be as confident as before because of the relative decline in the. last decades because by the end of the 2nd world war americans g.d.p. share in the world is 50 percent nowadays is only 5015 percent and it will further reduce therefore the united states taking china as a strategic competitor is not a reorientation but i believe it's a loss of direction. and agony this should not be the case because china always asking for a relationship of no confrontation and

a low conflict my best hope for this relationship however sophisticated is that this is a manageable relationship let's look at the south china sea where the u.s. navy would conduct a so-called fun up or operation regularly and yes both the chinese military and the u.s. military's do not want conflicts but is a question is could always a tactical arrangements as a rule of behavior. counter to see. be able to prevent accidents from happening again so the kernel it for us to avoid accidents or incidents. good that you mentioned the south china sea sorry for interrupting because starting from 2014 china has been building artificial islands in the south china sea and according to your foreign ministry spokeswoman who actually in china has the right to deployed military bases on these islands over security concerns you know the

states and other regional powers are accusing china of militarizing south china sea is chrism justify didn't why are you doing this. first of all those are not justified because we do not consider. to be artificial islands and if we do not consider what we're doing. kind of the media has ation on the other hand the rigor rise the fall of all ration in the south china sea and the violation of americans own positions as they would not take sides and that they do not have a position on the sovereignty of south china sea to be a kind of a b. to rise ation china is not the 1st country to claim land in the south china sea and china is not as the 1st country to put the proly weapons. is to fold necessary defense this is our land and we've got to defend them so china's military has been

on high alert to us mysel destroyer sails near china's artificial islands in the south china sea united states say the operation was just a freedom of navigation patrol but beijing says it as a violation of china's sovereignty and stability in the region why is that where the thoughts. well china and the united states certainly have a different opinion is regarding this kind of rationed the use a u.s. believes that as a challenge in china as the so-called excessive claims in the south china sea by china believes that china is defending its sovereign rights so we are. not talking about the same saying in different lights i personally headed charges delegations that itoshi shion with american counterparts on this very important issue what i can say is that. this very core concept

oh you and conversational lova see that is freedom navigation both china and the united staes agree to it but if they disagree as to what the the means because a china has a 99 hate has actually issued a domestic law. foreign ships freedom navigation over flight in chinese water so long as they are you line with china's national and international law so we think about this over 20 years ago china actually had to put through this very important concept in china's the mystical oh so we are not against freedom of navigation we are against the abuse of the freedom of an act of navigation for other purposes another important topic is that us have pulled out of the i am after hill and present trump offer to replace it with another agreement

that would include china and other countries to china's foreign ministry spokesman once again has already excluded any possibility of china being part of an extended version of i enough but if we're talking about a brand new arms control deal not enough something new what china joining if yes then on what conditions. well the 1st question is a water kind of a new arms control treaty because people have been talking about here for a while but it nobody has made it very clear as to what kind of a treaty it won't be my 1st is a question why would the us a poor out from i.n.f. treaty a talk because this definitely. european countries. america . in the asia pacific and the u.s. is the strongest power in the world and the u.s. either owning countries that has used nuclear weapons in the history so. the

impression is that the u.s. looks like a victim but how kind us to be a victim being the strongest contrary with the largest nuclear arsenal as far as the chinese asked. and china has made it a clear that china won't achieve joining any trying to negotiation over nuclear disarmament. because allah nuclear weapons cannot be compared to the. u.s. or russia in terms of quality or quantity and a we 1st country. no 1st use of nuclear weapons or use of nuclear weapons against a nuclear free country is all region so therefore we do not believe that or we should have such a row in such a scenario all right colonel we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to her discussing

china's military relations with the rest of the world stay with us. there's an international economic forum is a unique in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key economic issues facing russia emerging markets the world of business community members attend the forum to

address today's vital issues. forum coverage. i'm max kaiser one more of my guide to financial survival this is a hedge fund it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to them. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for god's guys were. in the lake says and see if forms part of a high altitude nature reserve. it's one of the famous to tell room into an easy is principle in which

a way starts its journey. but it can be summed up at the top to bottom i've got a septic tank top. it runs 300 kilometers from civil system out there on over $200.00 industrial facilities ranged along its banks. i'm out on your muscle. to do 3 things. i might get out of the mind of the. room here again screw the 4000 rice fields and supplies drinking water to 25000000 people. that can move when yes i. want to so many of us about us from have to pop over people.

thank. god. that we're back what siniora colonel grupo talking about china's military strategy or colonel china is believed to hold the keys to denuclearization of north korea is

that so and if yes what concrete steps is china taking to push north korea's nuclear ization forward. i don't think china holds a key to the new correlation in the korean peninsula i believe the director. that is the us. they have the case because everybody knows that china has made. as to what denuclearization on a korean peninsula china is a country is that has actually proposed the 6 party talks and china always chaired the 6 party talks and china has put forward. i believe a good proposal of a suspension for suspension or freeze for freeze if you look at is the current situation or the factors that. actually he has talked to naturally don't you believe that this is very much on or is a realisation of china's proposal because china proposed that to the united states

suspend its exercises then they might be willing to have a moratorium and this happened so we also encourage them to talk about naturally and this has happened so china does have a great row in. the new cars ation but china would. also continue in this regard about china doesn't have such a key in china so the general thinking is that it's nuclear weapons for insurance against a regime change if china ready to guarantee a north korea's international security. china cannot guarantee north korea about the security i believe the security of north korea is even. hand over the people of the d.p. r. k.

because it is the in the only interest to denuclearize to have. a secure and a safe korean peninsula because having all this nuclear weapons may be useful media terribly but how about economic development and how about the stress to the whole region including the neighboring countries so nuclear weapons now days are not exactly really useful. as this is my opinion so they should not take hold of nuclear weapons rather they would continue by natural talks with the united states to seek a final solution as far as solution is concerned that china has a propose to start from something easy and simple and then consolidate the results had every stage and eventually hopefully they can find a solution. i want to talk about another neighbor of yours china and south korea

are at loggerheads over their thought anti-ballistic missile system which china says is a threat to the regional security balance now beijing has many times asked to remove the system but was refused can this leap to a wider rift between south korea and china. well we don't believe. such a system issue to be deployed at all because 1st of all it is not to use force secondly it is harmful to the interest of other countries let me talk about a 1st point of assad says the sas system not to be useful because a korean peninsula is just about 1100 kilometers in terms of lens and does this so-called threat from the case to the south is actually to come the from the fire. cannons and hope is a shows because the d.p. r. k. has a certain time again to so for example into a c.

o. fire so no if missile defense system can't shoot over the shower of a conventional a weapon shows so there is that is why we believe such kind of system was only in 2 batteries would not be useful and 2nd to what if it is not useful why would you deploy it do you have some other purposes do you want to look deep into other countries territory defined as a military activities do you want to intercept the missiles launched by other countries during test or even in a real situation so we do not abide siri that assad a system is for self-defense. so the chinese fleet is getting more active then counter paris the operations near the gulf of aden and the indian ocean demonstrating the cap abilities of a potential blue water navy our us blue water navy as one of key pillars of

america's power protect projection across the globe china planning to eventually develop the same capacity. absolutely yes because. we are not shy to talk about our ambition to turn chinese navy into a blue water navy actually we have but it clear that by mid a century. we'll be developed fully into a world class military that of course would include a 1st class the chinese navy. where. zia well actually i was thinking maybe 5 years 100 years ago during mean dynasty china did have a blue water navy so this is the 2nd time that the world building ourselves into a blue water navy and a kind of parity in the gulf of aden is certainly a big boost in that regard because ever since then we have been sending. our

stopped to the gulf of aden we make sure that each time we always have a story to 4 ships compare compare with other countries for a single country to send us 3 or 4 ships that it definitely is a large task force compare to say of meth or land or ocean shield of nato or we like russia independent deploys in the gulf of aden. so it china's ministry of foreign affairs has more than once refer to taiwan as one of the most sensitive issues in a bilateral china united states relations now the chinese government has protested against us selling weapons to the island of taiwan on multiple occasions what is the ultimate goal the united states is pursuing by continuing to make passes at taiwan what's your take. well certainly the good question because china's

repeated protests. oh by the united states to taiwan always fall on the deaf ear but the point is. what is a real use of office so to taiwan the men of china is becoming stronger and stronger no matter how many weapons to taiwan with by their would not be useful. was the scenario i believe the taiwanese. is not to really buy weapons they're trying to buy you sure it's. sure is that could be filled with american blood. sure it's not a could not to really guard he's a safety so what. is the safety of the taiwanese people their safety and security come from good relationship with them and then china that is where the security lie and even economically dependent so heavily upon men and

china i know we have extended the good will time and again if you compare the previous. and the current to us r.t. you would find the difference so there are security and it won't be. across a straight utilizing. the trust that china taiwan. now at the moscow conference on international security minister of 80 said that china is strongly against the taiwan travel act that the united states adopt it is a blatant interference in china's domestic affairs that undermines the peace and stability in the taiwan strait that's a quote what could potentially lead to an open confrontation in the taiwan strait. well. situation across trade is not so favorable and indeed being

capitol hill a number of bills passed by the congress by the we have also taken notice that. some of those who were ratified about american president. they are not necessarily implementing it. to date. taiwan issue is a core issue over china's national interest and we've made it a very clear and very much a resolute to safeguard. because of the mainland china and specially music capability. days grow you know. we are very much on this issue and i think it's good for the united states to consider what is a pro and what is a corner is it important for them to make use of taiwan arkansas and china made china isn't easy is it becoming more and more important it is such

a huge influential power in the world so what is the purpose of us doing this to china. china and pakistan and other big topic there traditionally and very good relations and vice chairman of the center and military commission general john. said that pakistan china military elations is an important pillar of strategic tie does it mean that china is on pakistan side when it comes to tensions between india and pakistan like the recent ones. no i don't think so and china as you rightly said. is a very good friend pakistan. but china doesn't have to choose sides between india and pakistan i'll give you an example china except pakistan. with the other member countries and the china's relationship with india.

is actually. very good because the way you will have a joint exercise of terrorism during holidays the soldiers across the border could even be cigarettes so we do not believe that black and white picture so we sincerely hope both pakistan and india could have co-existed they were once one country now they should be brothers. colonel it's been such a pleasure talking to you thank you very much for this insight full interview will wish you all the best of luck but we're talking to. director of security cooperation for the military office of china's national defense ministry discussing china's increasing military strength and its implications for the world that's it for this edition of the next time.
