it's invited for him. he will spoke, sorry, woman, a of course about his chinese counterpart. was that anything else? but you really think needs to be drawing attention to the policy. it'll be interesting, very suit any minute. now we're expecting president lied to me a poking to come out to the press to hold the press conference here in beijing. but just before that we, so of course the meeting between chinese lead a shipping and vladimir putin. she's you being open with very warm welcome saying that this is the 42nd meeting to get them like to be approved. and so you said the over the many years that they've known each other they've, they've built a very fun friendship. and then nations, bosher and china have built a very strong relationship. we have doubts at least see since the break with, with the west as a result of the sections and disagreements to accomplish

a new credit brochure. pivoting towards asia and these pivots is being realized here and it is very evident here. changing ping also said the child in the stands with russia in building a just and fair a will flatten me approval of course, read with him on friendship and said the relations between the 2 countries have never been better and will get better. yes, of the actually g. i know the essence of your one road concept as you know to yourself is a single destiny for all humanity. and we sincerely wish you good luck and this noble cause the difficult conditions at present call for close coordination of foreign policy. and this is exactly what we're doing. and today we will discuss all of this and everything, including our bilateral relations. you've just mentioned where we have set the bar . our task is to reach 200000000000 and trade turn over this year. and if we look

at it, year by year, we analyzed it last night from a year ago today, we have already reached 200 billions. and in terms of the calendar year, we will definitely pass over this far. we said, we're moving forward very confidently bilaterally. this or of course, on the sidelines of the both and road initiative, the competitive us we have which is, is now. but the belgian road initiative, we something akin to ask you to the great point of trying to accept the equivalent and in modern times, acute mega project that is expected and intended to unite confidence by trade, the movements of capital investment as well as a labor and the removal of political barriers which as present egypt pin set and it said for many is, will bring prosperity to all involved. the sums of money involved that in all of this constructing new ports, new railway lines linking again, confidence, shipping,

the shipping routes, it is all astounding, which is what there awesome. $114.00 nations represented here, either by the leaders or by, by delegations the, the buffering roads initiative is steaming, of course had we, we had the opening statements at the form itself for the platinum improvement coming out and saying that the economic growth a, you raising union that has been built across the former soviet union states, the vast, the racing union could be a line at integrated with the uh, belt and road initiative, which is again a 2 boom to china and the populace. russia included, let's plan on doing business and development and along with tried it is absolutely a pretty stock rank project and like you said, it seems that the has no plan to slow down any time soon. um nikki, nikki, are,

and i also who's up about on road for him in beijing. nicky presidency obviously very proud. he's room all these people together and it seems like such a positive celebration that when one puts one mind to something, you can actually change knives. is that the volume that you have that absolutely is ask you. and i could talk some hours about everything that she said, everything develops what it needs to be done school, but i got a better idea because i have a guest for you. now it's just like use ask you, we've been trying to speak to as many people as possible to get a 360 perspective on the balance and what initiative from the professional as a personal point of view. and i now doing fine long e ways, who is the director of the school of international studies in redmond university of china. so let's get his take on board. this own means mr. wong. thank you so much for joining us today. now, it seems to me like

a very exciting time for china. it seems like if you go over these take care of a full 1000 years and now trying to find itself with a school for leading this new mostly polar. well, with a set just a common prosperity agenda is that how twenties people associate pretty thank you for having me help. before honestly, your cousin, i show you my freshman experience. we just attended the opening ceremony and division, the people to hold off of the presidency to do that can as fees the time to check hands. the 1st service, the present, included in the present, put in stand up and then hold on. hold for the tendency, of course, the seconds of dependency. he's a 1st, the 49. the head of the states duty with the speech also rakes. i gave them the phone, advise the old audience, so i think that's means this up in the west space international though, it's another of the to you in order. so that from this time not to support this

strong process would need to fuel to the model. so you hit this space also the fact that the eyes are seen, new to connected. you know, the 1st one to mention that the, the applause fulton, as he went up, do you think that this is going to be reported on in the west? so to think it's going to be misconstrued by the mainstream wisdom media somehow or you know, the best and you don't always seem to select the most of that quote for us in the report these you know, a lot of this, what a lot of skepticism towards china is a strong relationship with russia off the base for and do you think it's going to become most of this is not because of use of pro i think this because say, so let me use the most of the rest and attention. so now the thing about some know somebody school on problems that were supposed to your grand event because of the key event for the president election seems with somebody maybe in the next

a male or to the super focus. so not i think that the i under turned on the rush and co producing some more i heard the president also mention about to go talk to you just an activity on his own, all the survey story. and then i'm gonna send you some strategies for me. so you are a so you can be unit and event felt. so the more expensive and now coming to use more for the, for results. you know, the full 140 tons pretty well. so the 400 it yeah, well 140 countries of the past the study i use nothing organization or this spend basis for as a means for study. they also need to modernization. the 2nd time is more than a vision of the countries jointly. so become a positive, important investment more than that, they say. so at the cost of all the contracts can nothing more than that. the weather cold. i need to know if it's monday because you know you've been calling the firefighter systems secondary cover, like

a little bit of the thing is that you read the trans, i think is notes up because of the present. so you declare the end up with nope, and furnace volts. 10 to the last stuff. so that be i think for ease, ease to raise. that means high quality throughout the states speaking earlier. and these cute are speech teacher paying set the china jocelyn suppose below politics. it doesn't support unilateral sanctions the what's gonna take on that? yes. uh any of them seems to be paid because the vehicle is value in our customers degree console. which of course, the time on the p 5. so that'd be the always the $5.00 costs of that and then go to the gym. if somebody consult so essentially, so you know, lots of 5 of us or the rest of them is i'm not at the tool.

and of course the russian preston on b tony's pressed into holding close to 12 right. now what do you expect to come out of these tools? i think of it is a high quantity of 10 investment corporation. and also let me do this more. we can always send instructions to be content of course appraised to be built some good initiative as a noble course, but the challenges and the road ahead of the environmental impacts of such developments as the criticism of it being a debt. trump, for some countries of these valid criticisms and can they be overcome? you know, the quickness are that you guys get trouble with that top, but why the us or the, your p, you and you also have a lot of f or any properties because he's a new dog. let me,

so i'm writing is always the american get us of american domain. so that's asking for basically the chinese, i'm not a member of the whole you see the modem in the other part of the class. so traditional global financials, architecture is designing or money to or control defies the rest. yes. so it doesn't even i think the plan. so that's the way many thanks for joining us today. it's been an absolute pleasure. thank you. as us. yeah, we're going to be trying to get plenty more guests to to get that perspective on the balance and but initiative, i'm is lots more to come today. we've got press conferences to cover, so we'll keep you covered. one full. okay. that was nic aaron hunting down guest for us at the form, but audio and broadcast it, but i suspect that he's run off to catch the upcoming press. of course team, the chinese and russian president, we will be reaching out for that. so do not worry. we've got you covered this make you said in the meantime, what was interesting as one you way was just saying the debt track missed that people have set against china is claiborne initiative. just one of many criticisms

. so i decided sort of a deep dive into how the west is dealing with the chinese vision for a multi part of wild with a bit of a competitive edge. it does what a politician says, and that's what a politician means. our commitment to a stronger partnership with africa is not about trying to out. do anyone else? we've all heard that narrative that south africa and the continent as a whole, are the last playing fields in the competition between great powers. that is fundamentally not how we see it. no, not sort of cool smart. it's just coincidence that to bring can and co have moving through that shoes running around the world, trying to woo nations away from patients. belton road with watts, while back in 2018. the us a straight on japan, new interesting new pond to rebuild the in the pacific. have you heard of the blue dot net walk initiative? no on. that's the point. then that was the g seven's baby bill back. that's a wild which was just job items 2020 campaign. so i'm going to build back better

with well, i don't, they didn't budget for marketing. clearly, they will so quite stingy with the actual financing to now just for comparison over 4 years, china just one nation punched 800000000000. so the project hasn't really taken off, but not for the reasons you think of some expense. regret that the build bag batch of world slogan these notes catch enough to secure a successful branding for the initiative. some experts have the full of with cautionary tales about the high expectations linked to the built back back to world initiative filled bob's best. well, those are described itself as an inside use drip, and all you need to mock receive need a pie, which i think we can all agree is very compassionately sustainable. but you also try to branch out on its own in 2021. i talked to the stage announcing the global gateway, it will say values driven and democratic, of course, 2 years, all have any freedom loving highways and hospitals being built. uh no bought us. no,

that's fine. you go around to a pointing the project business advisory board. so, well, that's something brussels had promised 300000000000, but no one's had a waste of it yet. and then it turned out that those funds had already been in marks the project. awesome. that done was taken not say money, and we packaged it under a new name, selling it as historic and innovative. there's no new money. this is the communications exercise. it's a strategy to put together what was already going to happen and presented as something new. and if our partners are tricked by these, then more full them. so and off the floor, what to do when it's up to us, if you can come up with a viable alternative, you need to bring down the competition. we don't together literally billions of dollars in the g 7 nations to provide for alternatives to china is what they called built in broad initiative, which is basically a death in news agreement that they have with p r. c has been criticized for loading poor countries up with debt refusing to renegotiate terms,

and then taking control of the infrastructure itself. this is little more than a form of modern day colonialism. take, for example, russia the price to pay for oil and gas. it is lhasa silver energy and the loss of independence. they don't want partners, they want vessels. and it's not just the kremlin tens of countries on the brink of default because they cannot pay that dept with china. the midst of a predatory china weighing down, pull nations with adapt until that box break has spread far and wide, but it is a mess. the bunks now even by people within the us, just 12 percent of africa's external debt is low to beijing. so to 5 percent to west and london who is 3 times as much. plus the west charges double the entrust,

western leaders, blaine, china for debt crises in africa. but this is a distraction. the truth is their own banks, asset managers and oil traders are far more responsible. but the g 7 are letting them off the hook. the b r i has brought infrastructure investment, an opportunity to move in a 150 countries. the g 7 and a you have brought empty was empty pockets and political pump to the podium. that's focus has been i'm competing with china on limiting its influence. not on building something great, just as it has for hundreds of years. the west to set out to use people as pools and it's 2 political games and for its own exclusive in richmond, it's a formula that was for centuries. but the world has changed on people on so tolerance of being taken advantage of. especially when you woke up a day late and a dollar schultz as well by my side, right?

hey, on the great will, is onyx or pulled 5 low ground political unless i'm mean flossing, we can just quickly tool because obviously president preaching present. she all set to meet. we're expecting press conference really any minute now, but probably to have a tendency to be late. so i doubt that, but i mean, would you expect? i think we're going to see more trade deals. we're going to see deeper relationships between these 2 nations. clearly as trade exceeds 200000000000 dollars this year. and we're going to see, i think, a diplomacy level here with these 2 gentlemen will lead by example here. china is definitely lead by example. the last 12 months and of course, over the last decade by bringing this group together here with the belgian road. but moving forward, i think we're going to see trade deals and of course, deepen relationships. i mean, we will send out that they have to shed fission of a fat multiplayer and a wild. i'm, can we get sort of how they fall through? we can expect the 2 countries deposit implemented that policy and not vision. yeah, that's very important question. you have to understand that china is the warehouse

of the world. and we saw that during the pandemic times where they kept treat going . doesn't that prove that they can be relied on, doesn't that prove to other nations. i've met these people that have benefited through this belt and rude initiative. i've gone to these places. i was in thailand, hearing the story of a lady who sold during into the markets. she was saying that, thank god, that to the chinese it was easier to get her product to the market. and another thing that i think most people are missing in this whole calculation here is when you used to ship goods used to put it on a container, it would go across the seas in the oceans for 45 days. well now trade has accelerated and also the custom agreements between these nations have taken down these heavy duty heavy tear ups, which the americans liked to throw on some of the cargo coming from china. and that's where i think we're gonna see the momentum focused on in the next year here . of course, this is actually something that people don't think about. they just explained that

they owe to something online, and it just turns out they look out the window and expect it to be delivered for then helping out. i'm exactly the same, but like you said with um, the slipping down uh, shipping times by up to 4 days with boosting freight service, recreating move connectivity. so why don't you, what we're doing is we're avoiding the cove and situation where we saw all those ports you're one, but it was so much talk about how these pool. so just chuckle block and nothing could, could get through to actually make some people's lives easier. it is really when you think about it and you add up all the countries 15352 or maybe 150. now, depending on who you're reading this article from, but we're going to see that even grow even more. and it is important. this really does change people's lives and i'm going to go back to that thing once again where time is everything if you're selling during and if you're selling fruit or vegetables, you need to get it to the market as quickly as possible. and i've seen it with my own eyes, i've been to these factories. i've been to these plantations and i've talked to

these people. generally, there is nothing but excitement in their eyes when you hear them talk about these 3 quarters. very exciting time for china and definitely for us you know, so cool, so well it's very important is that. c a lot of the deals that are being made, they will be trading notes in us dollars, but in the run must be the chinese one. so the thought currency is really going to grow in terms of importance. okay. it's fall too early, talk about it overtaking the toner. but this tendency of doing the rise ation. it seems to be in full swing here. yeah, i agree with you and it's about time the bully had some competition and it's coming in, but it's not coming in to say, hey, get out of the way. i'm here. it's making friends along these, these routes here. we call it the belt road initiative, but really it's a lot more than that. it's diplomacy, it's companies, it's countries. it's the end of it tools that either you see selling goods on this done streets, i mean, it affects everybody. and the beautiful thing is,

is that over a 150 some nations here have understood and they got it. they understand what's going on here. now we, we also got, and we were talking about the media and i said we don't pay weston headlines, relax. um, well, she's gamble on pretend payoff. i mean, they always frame at someone having to be sort of dominant to mail to pass and being police who brought the during the day. yeah. and really you're going to continue to see that we saw, of course, the collapse of the built back bankrupt by call it program. and so do you now, it's going to phrase, but we're going to see that happen with more. i think if you're looking from the collective west here, you have astray a on the defensive to saying that, you know, we have to protect our trade routes yet. there may trade ro is china. so we're trying to see more of this happen throughout the year here. more hit piece is more negative articles, more fake news coming towards china unfortunately. but you know what?

let's move forward on to a brighter future here. then that was also get ready for move on to west and messaging from the 2 on its own way. so i've noticed she raised so boots and rambles. i mean, these are actually 2 needs. as we touched upon those who never say what more or less than is necessary, that's already helpful with that was very well, very mature. i mean, uh, they're not to, you know, that the difference here is, these are 2 government heads that are very responsible and understanding, you know, what needs to be, you know, decisions that need to be make to help their nations go forward. i think russia is a very good example of what has happened here, and who they know who their friends are over the last 18 months, maybe 20 months here. they found out very quickly that they need to shift. they've done it. they've managed to survive and move on, and that gives confidence to all these other nations in africa that had been just pushed down, treated with so much disrespect,

0 finance going into him. and the only time we ever hear out of these countries is from the western media. now blaming china for investing in these countries go figure, i just don't get it. now on the final thing, i want to ask you of us here because we are still covering, obviously what's going on. so and as. 5 as a very difficult topic, we discussed this because it's tragic on so many levels. brewton and she criticized as ro. i mean, i posted me to remember that and i've been following this papers came out and said, we need to stop the blood stead. and we think that that should be a safe spot, and we think that writes on all sides should be should be recognized. it was almost as if the, i mean, this headline searching, but it's still king division and to finish it division is just the last thing. but especially this conflict needs. that's a very interesting analogy of what the westwood, you know, project itself on somewhere someone else. here's what we know,

right now we have over 120 to 130 nations here in china. i can bet you that there are going to sit down somewhere. some of the delicates are going to sit down and say, we need to come with a solution, or at least find out how we can move forward of this. well, what's happening with mr. biden? he's on an airplane to the middle east and pretty much all his his meetings have been cancelled. yeah. that'll tell you the pharmacy from america standpoint. now it's definitely something i think that as well. palestine issue will be, is one of the things that will be talked about in the process because it keeps trying to trying to shape itself is a prayer for me to, to todd success. why not be african union to uh, russia you know what kind of unexpected pleasure stepping up. uh, alex, that has been an absolute pleasure to have you. uh, the last couple of days here. uh, alex reports by logan and political on us right here from the hills on. the great will. well, i'll correspondent and nicky aaron. uh like she said, she's been hunting down. people to speak to just like we have she spoke with says

switch to on this and call him this guy. i'm a ton. he says that the belgian rode initiative targets shot prosperity, like alex will say, with no limits, comments, re live, no limits to, in countries around the pipe. trying to solve somebody's being criticized by some european countries. i accuse china of creating a debt tron for some countries. they say that that exists and gets influence on other countries that those that are concerns about the, the environmental impact on this project. all these solids you don't feel like you don't have this feeling go when i am here, since not one week. i probably super to too many meetings. media forms are things going on about the best and or the initiative. and i did not get into streaming because lot of people 0 and lot of the more than 100 countries, 100. so the $155.00 countries participate in the home the world.

so i think there is no 6 hour ration. the problem is that the west, the west of the counselors all now sit there waiting for them to go on. but what china, because, for instance, you could wish on for a shell was buried allowance last week by president susan. that's to come on board is a shell post barely to source points presented uh 5 years to assist you. all right, so it's up to every country to participate north lake parkway. sufficient as well. i have from law sweet spot with a view that i really call it and get used to. it is good by small, special covers to day. but of course,

we will be waiting for present periods and present shape to give that press conference, and we'll be coming to as soon as that happens. se, se, the the west is all in on the side of israel. it is essentially forbidden to speak of the escalation and negotiations. at this point, israel's war aims are on clear. however, if we use history as a guide, there is no military solution to this conflict. it could only be a political resolution the,

the, the, the new port on the, on, uh, getting back to the stuff. yeah. i'm either going to use the motor x to take your set month at $100.00 level. that's in toronto, hunger. i lied to you on this, this time suddenly. ok, now i need the news. we need to get decide what's best for us to do sizes that

stick them on, on the left. she's on by. that'd be a lot more younger now. i'm on the schedule. ok. now send, they're not going to still equal to what are you guys? who do i equal to the show, the customer orders to go with us in order to do for me to know who she will handle so. alrighty. still go since your 1st and the kind of thing to go. i let jim bye the inside the

yes the, the, the, you know, to the controls for the to pick to pick for the teach care. can i michigan so, so in the show of interest to ship the move, i usually get in the loop and quote, economic this or that is simple. well, the believe we just thought you was up with, i need to see we have the seats and if they're only getting put that stuff to you. so when the, when you told me when you want the

the disturbing images on off the international alleged is really strikes devastates a hospital and gossip supposedly kidding. at least 800 civilians. a warning, the following images are distress the among the dead and wounded children, women, the elderly, most advisors of the time to take into other nearby hosp the .
