access denied, beijing's ministry of defense has given the pentagon, the cold shoulder denying a request to hold a private meeting on the sidelines of an upcoming security for him in singapore. here's the statement given by the us defense department to the wall street journal . overnight. the p r c informed us that they have declined. our early may invitation for secretary austin to meet with p r. c. administer of national defense, leasing food and singapore. this week, the department believe strongly in the importance of maintaining open lines of military to military communication between washington and beijing to ensure the competition does not fear into conflict. a little background on beijing's decision, the binding administration last week. upheld sanctions on the chinese defense minister himself lee shang food. donald trump had initially put those in place for the officials. role in china, person purchasing russian missiles and jets back in 2018.

now the rejection comes at a time when us lawmakers have published a controversial list of actions to be taken to prepare taiwan for so called peace by arming the nation. us congressional committee focused on the chinese communist parties release of 10 recommendations aimed to preserve peace and stability in the taiwan strait. the number one is the manufacturer and supply of more long range missiles to the in the pacific region. and this comes as us stinger missiles have also arrived in taiwan as part of an aide package promised by washington chinese for an ministry spokes person now being condemned to the move saying it's extremely wrong and dangerous. a negligence on the us provision of weapons to taiwan gravely violates the free china us joint communiques, especially the august 17 communicate it interferes in china is internal affairs harms china's sovereignty and security interests and undermines peace and stability

across the street. this is extremely wrong and dangerous. china strongly deplores and firmly rejects this and has made serious they marches to the us. we discussed the situation with ein our tank, getting a senior fellow at the tie. he institute the think tank who agrees that washington is playing a dangerous game. this is uh, political posturing um, in but the binding administration knew that they needed to remove that sanction that the sanction was actually meaningless. there was no reason to do that other than they did not want the meeting to occur. so it, it's clearly pastoring this trying to put this case forward that to us is somehow being reasonable and then it's china being unreasonable when it's the exact reverse . this is a common play by the us currently to accuse others of what they're doing themselves . you know, at this juncture, you know, there's not much china can do if they don't feel that there's any point to these

meetings, or that the u. s. as in being sincere that, but that is a problem you have to nuclear nations at loggerheads and you know, this is adding to the uncertainty in the world. so at this juncture, i wish the white house was going for with some effort. instead of trying to cause more uncertainty to create more trust, you know, there's this effort to use proxies and obviously enticing a more or basing knowing that going into ukraine would cause russia to react. they notice the same thing with taiwan. if they go into taiwan. obviously china will react, so this is the real danger. how far do they want to go? the american billionaire and tech entrepreneur you on mosque has met with china's foreign minister in beijing. musk emphasized that healthy and stable relations between china and the us are beneficial for the whole world. they also stress the that the interest so the 2 superpowers are virtually inseparable. a visit to the

tesla plant and shanghai is also on the agenda as muskets considering future business expansion there. it's the head of twitters 1st visit to china in 3 years, and it also comes that made increase tensions between washington and beijing. but to get more insight into the story we're going across live now, how to send to all show a political analyst and senior fellow at the pango institution in beijing. thanks a lot for joining us, sir. why do you think a lot of musk uh. busy and for quote, healthy and stable relations between china in the us what, what's his angle here? uh, well, he's a c o. mean we relationship a between chandra, the us, i think the that from the perspective of tweeting an investment, you know, based on the fact that the visa mac, the factory is on i, the lot is lot is the city china has a lot about tremendous success. the full uh, elaine moss,

so i'm old to say eli mosque being the number one, which is a person in the world. probably because of the next 68 success, decent time. and of course the, you know, it's the, the factory as the contributed to the rapid development to overturn us the electric vehicle. so this case, i'll just say it is a tissue point of how cooperation can be we, we, how the us and china kind of work together, you know, on demand based off of both of you. in the, i was a tweak relationship. what is it example? i think that that's what in moscow talking about. well, considering america's history of provocations in china's back yard. and of course, what i mean here is, uh, everything connected to taiwan. do you think that the us leadership is going to heat muskets, advice here? you know, as alternately out because the us leadership washington right now. what did the,

i think he just bought a sort of the deal political competition. all in plain board is really to 10 minutes policy. i think china, you have per, per say, it's a very clear that he's to slow down the thomas economic development, the technological development and you know, whatever they want to slow down the chance they be the big role of china. so they come into the, i will become a, this is the deal ways to go in order to achieve that. so you can see the intel, you squeaky a band, all limits of expos dot keeps all keep making tools in into china. these are from us companies all from allies like the japan deadlines, a soft drip up sample. assume that's, that's my policy. so basically the, i've seen this relationship as a 0 sum east that, oh yeah. and that increase a lot of the problems. you know, you can only play, there's a tweak,

bulk isn't taxable. and you look at the other sectors of this message. for example, people and people exchange event. it's usually of this package. and you can look at this, the, the types of each one of us over of examples about trying to see all i want the us, the, you know, they have, but this bands that they cause they lost the ear, the speaker of the house. so you know, to pro, hold the tyson a promo for the chinese side over type one. they are constantly sending off the table. and when they talked about a piece is always about to send more weapons. all awesome, how want to purchase small weapons? so you can see the, the us, the goal, i'll just say it's a cute, a will be a he and expressed of the channels economic development. it will be achieved at the expense of the global peace and the state disability. i mean,

us have decent. i can make it to you that respects it. uh, probably. yep. into to see um is it conflict or you mean oh the asia so that's, that's heavy as far as the world has to pay, we cannot stop the longer the bosses, the sticker. so to achieve their goal, all right, well it's clear, i mean we're talking about tensions between china and the united states. us provocations, but what's the point of all of it? what, why is the vitamin ministration pursuing an antique china policy? which is saying, as well, i think, you know, previously know people to fund the finger at the top of all taking some of the traffic in my managers again. so the chinese that create a, i splinters against the chance companies. but tech companies like a hallway, for example, about, you know, people have the, some expect isn't back, you know, with the new government invited and to deal with the 1st of all of the 2 countries

that could return to normal relationship. but then what we ask is that the us has change. these kind of policy from a wind up in gigabytes to wind up to 10 minutes are all in plain words. people to say that the new cold war was 70 for long, cheap against the rate. do and you know, i'm going to play every county every weekend in the world. do we have to suffer to us that indeed we because of us at all state simply for each, for each on each face. that's the, that's that you just mentioned the us, the primacy to mentioned to us as you've already mentioned, the us of global hegemony at the non color. it is another country which is developed you boss, which is catching up quickly, which could it be on our with us in a sense, it's almost like the, you know, the risk as a, uh like a oh, we cannot allow, somehow like, uh, you know,

people in color to be as uh, as successful as we, uh, the white people you repeat, you know, this kind of 5 year is then as not be covered to that. all i think is 21 date. we'll come back and take a closer look at this kind of psychology from washington. all right, political analysts then senior fellow at the pango institution send all sure, thank you very much for joining us on the program. once again. if you have any now on to other news, kenya is presidente seeking to establish a pan african payment system to help ditch the bullets us dollar from global commerce. we are all struggling to make payments for goods and services from one country to another because of differences in currencies. and in the middle of all of these, we are all subjected to a dollar environment. 10 years president has urged his african counterparts to mobilize central and commercial banks to join the system. launched last january,

the so called pen african cit, payments and settlement system eases in for african trade and was backed by the african union and central banks. the president argues that african business men should concentrate on moving goods and services and leave the currency activities. so the applicant export import bank according to an associate professor at the university of south africa forming one currency for all of africa, is not an impossible task. it's the idea behind the resolution of carving c, r j team that can often guardians status format back on the policy. so i want to evaluate this phone car is in by the by tuesday nights turn you on. who is that also can take care of these as well. have income as a 20 minute says the guy get to find 14153, w dot gov probably be used by the same but i've been sick just not me for the past

. i remember them i've, yeah, they are some of the reasons why honestly the good news on housing or that, you know, as far as the, the, the issue is quite upset at all. i've easy to oppose the magazine, the united states of america. i've done a lot as it would be done with exchange and got you, terry pointed pricing. all fold in other commodities, as it is, as it's very important, i 5 feet tall, 4 feet contribution called knives as you were calling me and as well. and president nicholas madura was back in brazil and the country's leader lou at the silver welcomes him ahead of the summit of latin american countries. is the 1st visit by event as well and leader and 8 years after the country is cut off relations back in 2019. but to get more on this now we're going across live to our to corresponding in new york, caleb mauppin taylor event as well. and leader said,

this meeting mark's a new era for the countries relations. what, what's the story behind that? while the president of brazil said that he was harshly critical of the sanctions imposed on that as well by the united states. i spoke out against them in the devastating role they've had on the venezuelan people and their population. he also emphasized that this seems to be a blow to the strategy. the united states has been having with venezuela, usa is doing everything you can to isolate venezuela, to prevent that as well from having relations with different countries that we've seen, the various cru attempts that have been revealed. we recall that for quite some time the usa was recognizing one way though, this individual is somehow being the legitimate president of venezuela. but now the leader of brazil is at this point, embracing mid euro and making clear that he feels the fact that it's been so long since the girl visited brazil to that was actually

a mistake. and this is what we heard from the brazilian president lula. about the recent visit from the bureau, these are his comments. he met as well as safety for your 1st day to ship to visit other has always been an exception of a partner for brazil because of political contingencies. and mistakes. versus madura has not been in brazil for 8 years, and brazil has been with val. it's been is the other for a long time. now this, you know, follows what was recently said by the mexican later. he also criticized how the united states excluded venezuela from the summit of the americas. and mexico is also spoken out against us policies and attempts to isolate venezuela as a country. that's part of the american hemisphere. well, what message to use would you say, are both the leaders sending by saying that they're supporting breaks or breaks is emerging role on international trade and a shift away from the dollar as well. we heard with durham speak up about the

optimism venezuela has about the new emerging bricks alliance, the possibility of a new emerging economy. this is what the dural had to say regarding bricks when he was in brazil. if we were asked whether venezuela wants to be part of brakes in the future, yes, we want to be a humble part of breaks and keep pace with the change in the political situation. and the echoes words that had been said by the brazilian present little about moving the world away from the dominance of the united states and its currency use . what he said, my dream is that we have a common currency so that our countries can do business without being dependent on the us dollar. this follows a global trend in response to the increasing turbulence of the western financial system in the last few years. we've seen a number of countries speak up about optimistically considering joining on with the

bricks of this talk of japan. signing onto the bricks. we understand saudi arabia is in negotiations about possibly joining the bricks as well. and it seems like, as the western financial system has increased difficulties and the united states continues to try and isolate a number of countries that don't follow its orders and don't play balls. we have a situation where many countries are ready to explore economic options beyond the dollar.
