a welcome saying that this is the 42nd meeting to give them like to me a booth. and so you said that 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 gone down to the machine since the break with, with the west as a result of the sanctions and disagreements. the confidence in the right measure, pivoting towards asia and these pivots is being realized here and it is very evident here. changing people so said the china stands with russia in building a just and sarah will plotted 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, i'm afraid you 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 200000000000. and in terms of the calendar year, we will definitely pass over this far. we said we are moving forward very confidently, bilaterally. these or, of course, on the sidelines of the both and rude initiative, the competitive us we have which is, is now huge mega project that is expected and intended to unite confidence by trade, the movements of capital investment as well as the labor and the removal of political barriers, which as presents agent, ping said,

and then said for many years would bring prosperity to all involved, the sums of money involved in a lot 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 lead is, well, bye bye delegations the buffering roads and they should see is, is steaming. of course ahead we, we have the opening statements to perform itself for the black map, hooton's coming out and saying that the economic growth a you raise in union that is being built across the former soviet union states, the vast, the raising union. uh, quote via line and integrated with the uh, built in road initiative, which is again to boom, to china and the populace. russia included, let's plan on doing business and developing along with tried to keep present. and

she obviously very proud to used to all these people together. and it seems like such a positive celebration that when one puts one mind to something you can actually change lives, is that the volume that you have that area. i was off to some of the boats and what initiative it was. and i chose cooperation express really at the heart of everything to do with the felt invert initiative in earlier listening to the keynote speech at the opening ceremony by presidency. jim think he said that right now cooperation that would be more pressing as we were in a mid stead unstable. and in certain times with the conflict and ukraine, the situation we're seeing on the phone between israel and palestine. and he said, what now you know, countries should be coming together to talk to work things out to cooperate, to find an understanding. and he said that china oppose is below complex takes you

to lose this unit. last will sanctions what it stands for, all the bells and what initiative in particular is development is it respects, is it supports and he used a chinese 12 up. he said, you know, when you give someone roses, his sense of language when he gets it gets an example is what he's doing. the cubic tongue demick. he said, the china so natured, more than a 100000000 faced mosques to countries in need. and in to 70 countries, we're also helping and supporting china. it's a win win mentality. know, focusing on at the belt and broad initiative on this slide days. it seems like it's one that many countries wants to be a pause, doesn't always also have a common vision cars over a $140.00 countries in attendance in badging for the bell, to invite for many entrepreneurs also ahead. taking costs in, for instance, well enough because you know, the success of the bells. what initiative over the past 10 years has been for you. but i mean, it's just turning infrastructure projects from vision into reality. we're talking

about life changing structures like highway schools, of towers stations, sports stadiums, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs listing, 40000000 people out of poverty. of course that's being criticism and when is a massive project such as the 1000 but initiative that hasn't been challenges along the way of presidency speaking earlier, lays out in 80 points action plan, looking ahead. it's to have become these challenges and that space the next 10 years if a 1000 but initially if that's tied to this, please let me go phone 5, you will hold and see international cooperation for him on calgary always between china and all the countries together with our partners will work on you logistic colorado's. it was the origin continental line on direct railway and highway transpose. i spoke to nomics that pulls up the drug project, the china development bank, and the expert team for the bank of china. look right,

credit lines, 350000000000 chinese you on the saw across foundation will be increased by a to bit in humans. ever see us conference of the bells and rolled initiative, the agreement signed to touching the wrong 97 feet and you as the oldest child will be working on sauls and small smaller projects to improve the well being of the people. it seems to me that the bells from voters initiative is really the unfolding months of this traditional chinese custom, which in china we call the one sheet which means relationships. it's like you scratch my back by scratch yours, creating a win win on the fountain word initiative as a found, creating these kinds of a win win relationships that create a move. so i move just the world of common prosperity as agent thinks that himself trying to can only do well when the rest of the world is also doing well. well, it's got more insight. i'm not keeping joined now by benjamin child professor at the power school of technology. i'm business. welcome to us. do you do your hair?

i mean, the be all right, such a wonderful and expensive project and rushed as president putin said that these products projects and other organizations like the shanghai corporation organization will really help with your ration. c development, how do you see this economic and social corporation had to as well. china has become the major trading partner for more than 140 countries just between the participating countries of the family and wrote initiative in the last 10 years to trade for them is not what 1.9 treated in us dollars with an annual growth rate of 6 percent is a lot of money and we've bits of the participating countries o china has help butte, a lot of uh, rose rose ports and penalties and, and that's just the a p r i alone,

which is more about trade for the shanghai cooperation organization besides trade, it is also about safety and also a mutual respect all of the sovereignty, which is increasingly important for the international politics today. uh, well with the washington i'm chinese need is also they pointed to the need to establish new routes, especially via railways. you know, russians a huge country, china is a huge country as well. um, what pro, the prospect's would that entail for those who are involved? so we already have a little bit of a connection right now. those are the high speed train from china, a full europe, and also full central asia, all the way to europe. you know, by train. it is only one 5th of the cost by a $2.00 foot off the cost of bye bye, buy land, buy out the bypass seat. so he's a lot of money saved. and for example, i went up the day. a great example is caustic us time, which uh,

the infrastructure of transportation alone is i thought it was all but the annual growth rate for the economy. it's about 6 to 6 percent. it is about 50 percent for an increase in the connectivity and also lower towers. yeah, i know, so it's a, it's a often much more fun to look out of train window, but then a pain window. i mean, we've also of the multitude of wilds this is uh, i think, and i did that now. we've accepted, has arrived in the b. all right. for decades has been walking on this. um, would you say that this flagship policy or president changing paying brings the idea and this vision from multi poet a firewall into reality? it is already a re, i'd say we have still over results. in the last 10 years, china, a low has invested a $240.00 feeling us dollars. um, so it is about 4 feet dollar invested by the touch screen country. china wouldn't

match $2.00. so then besides the china helped by not just investment also by that and also $58.00. so. so for the, there is a report fight a website. uh that says uh for the tray alone, it is an increase of between about one percent, 2 percent. now what country and for the, for the uh to the growth is also approximately 80 percent of the trait growth to so it's, it is a lot of money a month we heard in the speech by price of shooting paying and that was reiterated by president per ton about how the b r i really is about cooperation and respect. c and i mean, this is obviously a project that brings together and bring so many benefits to people that they treat as 8 quotes. is it 5 to say that those who are assigned up to the be all right, but the average pos and far away in indonesia or any other country that signed on

really feels the benefits of that the or the feeling it uh, it is very important to get onto this possibly train of china, so to participate 100, already enjoying a 6 percent growth of the trade in the last 10 years. for example, the cost kind of fine we, we have some years of 90 percent of growth in which its largest country in central east asia. so for the largest country in africa, nature its area of trying to do a ports. we do another investment, which is about $360000000000.00 us dollars off economic value. so that's what we also have ports of fuel by china. and so you would like to impact start increase at that is about a lifting property of about a half a 1000000 of people and also creating 500000 jobs. you know, i mean, you can see that it has a real impact on people's lives. and that's probably one of the greatest estimates to the project that you can travel to any of these countries. and someone say that

right away gave me a job and gave me the skills to walk. i'm, i do want to. 5 the oversee critics of the be all right, so that that trap mist is something that the west loves to bring up. but how fat is that criticism? i wouldn't get as about this question. if the, if you look at that, i do look at countries. i see what i can pack is done and so on. 80 percent of that that is actually of from the west. china only response to pop up about less than 20 percent. some of them are 10 percent of the data. and more than that, the dates are new that's from china, which helps them ease the pressure of the o. that's that they need to pay for the, for the west and with the news of financing and also cheaper price and, but the inputs are the, these are developing countries are able to have more input to support the economy to get some state level growth on the same and ask for car, new 12 percent of africa's down to so to china thought you 5 percent to the west

and they charged double the interest rates time you know, to, to, to look at do the fundamental reason why there was a trip. there was a that's in the 1st place. right. so there was this uh, weston late monday to ruse. and what the uh, the motor industrial companies and one applies the industrial stuff capacity and notice system and so on. so we need not only monday for sure, but also rules, a new rules of games to, to help to remove the expectation of the developing countries. well, it's really interesting. i think that's probably the greatest message that's come out. i mean, everyone criticizes not everyone, of course, but many in the west criticize to be all right, but not today at the 4 and basing and how many people have turned up. and these are people who are very clearly happy with what the initiative has both them. thank you so much for joining us. failed to do that. was benjamin child professor at the power school of technology and business. thank you. in the meantime,

just as benjamin and i were talking about sites and politicians and the west have taken a ha stones on china is global initiative. so i had a new look at what the west has come up with to try and deal with china is vision from multi point of wild. it says 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 continental as a whole, or the last playing field in the competition between great powers. that is fundamentally not how we see it. no, not the soul. of course not. it's just coincidence that have been cut and co have moving through that shoes running around the world, trying to woo nations away from beijing spelt improved with water while back in 2018. the us a straight to and japan new interesting new pond to rebuild the in the pacific. have you heard of the blue dot net walk initiative?

no, and 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 going to build back back to with world added on. they didn't budget for marketing clarity. they were also quite stingy with the actual financing to not just the 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. some expense regret that the build bag badge of world slogan does not sketch enough to secure a successful branding for the interest of some experts have the full of with caution details about the high expectations linked to the built back back to world initiative filled thoughts about 12, those are described itself as value scripts, and all you need to more christy's need a pie, which i think we can all agree is start re capacity sustainable. but you also try to branch out on its own in 2021, ask you to talk to the stage announcing the global gateway. also values driven and

democratic of course, to use all have any freedom loving highways and hospitals being built. uh no bought us enough. that's fine. you go around to a pointing the project business advisory board so. well, that's something brussels have promised 300000000000, but no one's had a waste of it yet. and then it turned out that those funds had already been m ox. the project awesome had done was taken that same money and repackaged 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 this, if you can come up with a 5, little tentative. you need to bring down the competition. we don't together latree billions of dollars in the g 7 nations to provide for alternatives to china is what they called belts and broad initiative, which is basically

a death in news agreement that they have with the r c has been criticized for loading poor countries up with debt refusing to re negotiate 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 packers, they want vessels. and it's not just the kremlin tens of countries on the brink of default. because they cannot pay the depth 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 that is owed to beijing, so to 5 percent to west and then does was 3 times as much. plus the west charges

doubled the interest, 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 and a 150 countries. the g 7 and a you have brought empty was empty pockets and political pump to the podium. that focus has been on competing with china and 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 enrichment. it's a formula that walked 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 short as well. joining me again in the state, you all to contribute. i'm for this call us call us off. i'm call. i was looking as we're waiting for about press conference from parents and just to entertain myself in between our bulletins. i media headlines and their response to the bell to murder mysteries and generally periods and coming to china. the going to and reported that before the parents and spoke this morning. a few a delegates left the room which i think we can agree is very mitchell. i mean, what does that accomplish? she's impinging, his opening speech actually said right now where, you know, very unstable geopolitical times. this is a time for people to come together to set down and work out their differences and to concentrate on development. and you is taking that complete opposite stands. and the issue that's actually occurred in the europe itself, because europe let's face,

are you up, cannot live without russia, without the russian energy. and, and following the suicide o policy set out by washington, it's only going to her europe even further. that will also things like, well, she's gamble, and putin payoff how this is a symbolic boost for peer to in or how the be all right. and she took saw one trillion dollar project as it loses steam. i'm looking, i'm, i'm, i'm looking for it losing steam, but all i say and not the direction of very well built bridge that are i see 3000 your will. so the chinese know how to build on the running between beijing and here was just submitted the so fantastic. it was fantastic. i thought it was driving in california, except when that's a great wall, certainly burst into the view over the mountains. and you know, it is china, it has always been for peace for development, which is something that the west is trying to detract from because you still want to really focus on what

b r i is. it makes the west looks bad because it is new for what all us can offer today is military basis unless military intervention, well, you know, it's and so i'm glad that you mentioned ministry basis because obviously one of the main critiques of the b. all right, is that this is a like a trojan who's put chinese minute trip and i thought, okay, so i counted how many foreign ministry bases that china has about 8 russia 20 also . i us 750. i mean, it's, is it to lucian who and where is that stay? i don't even know what to name it if this is a 100 percent projection, the only way they can conceive of a world relation is one through dominance. dominance by the u. s. unipolar world, but that world is no longer exists, the poly multi polar war has completely replaced. that, as we can see, is our 150 countries attending the ballad and roll for them. and all the important

leaders are present. the all the west is, has dung is isolating itself along the rest of the world. and i mean it, would that talking about the unit po to, well do, you know, part of, well, just one that also uh, so uh, colonialism. and i think that the west has probably undermined itself move than anyone else could undermine it. because of its colonial acceptance and the way that it has treated nations way around the world. and how's the claim, your west run out of chances when it comes to the global south today, just want to try out new partners. well i, i, you know, it's never too late to modify your changes, but i don't think the, the western leaders even realize are on the wrong path. and yes, we've seen there, they're fully stand behind israel with the treatment of the policy and people, the rest of the world is not with that yet. you know, it's us send are huge. natal armada park right next to palestine. the west has

really sho, is hypocrisy and, and the b r i is completely opposite of that. it's about development like president changing paints and development. so what we need right now in this world, following up when you said the protestant, his radio issue, one of the headlines was how boots she on poor to criticize israel, creating even bigger divisions with the wes, i'm, i mean i've been following it. i don't see them criticizing as well. i sold them both cooling for a ceasefire. i'm both saying that enough is enough created. we need a long time salute since this. it just seemed that i mean the last thing that, that conflict needs. if someone creates a motivations and hostile rhetoric and tiny people against it, and yet thoughts create, it won't be intention, was by exactly, i mean, is you russia in china? i have already called for the ceasefire through united nations. yet it was veto by united states. and it's about so states and what united, what use we oh,

is able to do what is able to do because it has a, he knows he has a full backing of washington because washington is supply israel with the munition in these with a weapon in needs again, it only benefits a weapon manufacturers back in united states. it is what seemed to detriment not to just people of palestine by even to the people of the united states because they are not getting much needed infrastructure in united states to be part of the building wrote initiative. i think maybe americans with fine, you realize that they've been cheated out of good pull some good power plot, some good internet fiber optic cable for so long. i'm a lot of this was still the seat was china is obviously fair by this economic rise . but there is also the whole tie one issue, but i think don't so you cannot make as well. i mean, those mike cruise ships the us like always wants to have a 100 percent control over everything. and i was so shocked when not us official

said that they would be willing to bomb carpet bomb taiwan just to stop page and getting that hands on those t s m. c. factories. i mean that really, for me, show you the extent of the depravity of that kind of foreign policy thinking. exactly. it's all based on us dominance. us had gemini and they would do anything to preserve that us at gemini, at any cost, at the cost of people in taiwan, at cost of people who many in china, a cost of people around the world offices, something i think the present preaching will touch upon in his press conference that was called job joining made or where he will be back in his wonderful shot, which i will still of later. a thought is at the sun is beginning to sat here, but there worry we will be here. even also is while waiting for about press conference with president putin off the, his talks with the chinese delegation on president she. so stay tuned.

the, with the end of world war one, the move in for an indian independence from the british empire flared up with renewed vigor. the british responded to the growth of the national liberation movement with arrest and brutal, violent repression cause active resistance. in march 1919 at the call of mahatma gandhi, a peaceful strike began in the country. but the british responded with a new round of violence and far bade the indians to gather more than 4 people. on the day of the sea bass at t festivals. by a huge crowd of civilians gathered in the center of the city of i'm gonna start in

northern india, seeing these as outright defiance. general reginald dyer gave the order to open fire on the on arms peoples. the barbaric execution claimed the lives of at least 379 indians, including 40 children, the youngest of who was 6 weeks old. the indian national congress considered the official figures to be underestimated and announced the death of more than $1000.00 civilians. the well known greatest newspaper, the morning post galled dyer, the man who saved india gave him a sword and 26000 pounds sterling as a token of gratitude for the massacre. the amorous star massacre wind down in history as one of the most brutal crimes of the british invaders and only escalated the affair. struggle of the indians for liberation from the colonial yoke.

the known in vietnam american war, the vietnam war, lost it for almost 2 decades. and dragged in numerous countries nor does he have a grip now, and then you don't see it. now. what is all on the empty hundreds of thousands of american troops who was sent to the country to bag the south vietnamese on me. and on top of that, not with the american soldiers limited resistors, most solicitation down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals and lee by all right, did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did on the vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yeah, yeah, yeah,

that's that way. it's too late, but yes, the mortgage goes, this was for the in law. right. it says the brother printer was are up at one of the sounds of this. so basically of course we need, the last name was needed, read it was can, when we used to live, imagine we have some of which was this, we would show new people to the the the

beginning with disturbing images. this our analogy is an optional and outage is really a strike devastates a hospital in guys that reportedly killing at least 800 civilians among the casualties. women, children, and bills of the israeli defense forces denial responsibility for the hospital strike saying it was a rocket launch. twice i'll make sure you had minutes ends that managed to somehow level the facilitate.
