of what even some friend split titian's referred to as a presidential property. nobody has found to the law. so far, gap bone has only been able to remove a presidential topic through military to mac cronk and again jeopardize france by promising to assist the unsupported until the bitter end. africans are turning over a new leaf. the cool may bring cosmetic changes to the button, but the historical channels to which the country as well is transferred to france is unlikely to be disturbed. the same could be said, the phone is a way cool spot concerns over frances uranium dependency. the country supplies 15 percent, or frances uranium needs and accounts for a foot of the use uranium imports. the majority influence a frogs to freak in these african states ensures that they remain an indispensable part of french interest on the continent. proof off batch is the more than 100

french companies present in this, the whole region, the most which each one of those companies, it's play as such as elements which mines processes and exports manganese to talk introduce. another french giant, within lots footprints in africa, faces criminal charges over human rights violations added some big projects across the continent. the total energies has consistently fail to respect local customs and for the ships related to the treatment of grapes. in addition, the company did not follow international best practices related to identifying grave sides, developing plans to relocate affected graves, providing compensation for impacted families and respecting the spiritual and really just need self affected family and community members. like dominos, african states, all one by one or dropping the shackles of neo colonial tad. my leads that's, you know, fossil gaming z and the bar and all say no to france as long time domination of

african financial political economy. and security of phase from, sees the importance of points, interests of stopping these nations from using their resources to grow their own economies. but finally, the applicant domino's saying, all revolve from the game is over. well, those are the headlines. this i'll will bring you more updates in about 15 minutes to sit on the rick sanchez. i've been doing news now for 30 years and 2 languages all over the world right here in the united states interviewed for different us. presidents work good at least 4 or 5 different us major television networks and i believe after. busy of that there should be honest, direct, and impactful, and just by golly,

is direct impact the all right, so here we go. the u. s. political season has begun the horse races on and here are the entrance. this is the 1st debate for those buying to become the next republican presidential candidate of the united states. and what did most of these tough guys spend their time doing? of taking on china, of course, because according to them, say, what, according to them, once we separate ourselves from china and end our relationship with said, country, all our problems will simply fade away. here's a taste, subsidizing china, china, china, china, china. but here's the memo that every one of these political actors

apparently failed to read. there is no separating us from china because our economies are debt our consumption base. there were workforce, our appetite for the technology that we need. all of these things are inexorably tied. in fact, if any one of these presidential aspirants that you are just seeing on the screen, i bothered to read the papers around the same time that they were doing this debate just opened up a newspaper. they want to see this check out this headline, but it is tesla relies on china for 40 percent of its batteries supplies. so let's just use this article as, as, as an example of the present us and china inter dependence. where 1st we learned that 40 percent of the companies, the manufacturer, battery storage capabilities for tesla. our chinese. wow. cool. no, right. wait, there's more 40 percent of the test. most aluminum smelters are also,

chinese companies. 40 percent. wait, there's more 33 percent of all of the test plus in organic chemical partners, chinese companies. and that's just the tesla. we can probably go right down the list of all the us corporations. we could name, many of whom are donors of the same men and women now running for president. and we would find out that the vast majority of those companies have financial ties in one way or another to china. now, does that mean that these politicians are taking money from people who are making money from china while they are also attacking china? mm. yeah, that's exactly what i me. and by the way, with that make them hypocrites. you judge for yourself. so look.

politics is that the fact is that as much as china needs the us, especially because we buy everything they make, the u. s. needs china just as much as and here here's how that has actually come to be when our hands met, one year ended and another began a few hours later, the president met with german match. i don't. the 79 year old leader wasn't afraid of health, but the lively, our long meeting included philosophy, history, and banter. the roots of the us and chinese intern dependents can be traced back to president richard nixon's, landmark visit the beijing in 1972. who can forget that was around back then? it was a fish eric overture, that in the fall relations between the 2 cold war adversaries. and again,

the dead kind of in the cold war between these 2. until now, have you seen what's being said lately? more on that later. and so the nixon in china story set the stage for diplomatic ties. but see what it really did was lay the groundwork for an expanded economic relationship between these 2 countries. it says that. busy something something like this very from now on, chinese workers will make the stuff that we americans consume simple. and here's how it happened. in the 19 seventy's under daysia in pain, china is reform and opening up a policies converted the country from a closed, centrally planned economy right to one that is now market oriented. so as china offered a mass of labor pool and lower production costs, american businesses said yeah, and they began shifting all of their manage all of their manufacturing over there

to, to china. can you say out sourcing? that's how it began. and really, it's never stopped. and yeah, it makes american workers angry, but it is what it is. us companies all got a competitive edge through cheaper production, while china benefited from for an investment, technological advances and job creation for their people. in fact, china benefit is so much that it ended up loaning us money. i mean, amassing a significant amount of the us debt. in other words, try as we may or might to this day, we can't quit china just like a line in the movie. we can't quote them because among other things we owe too much money. so there's some symbiotic economic relationship cemented by intertwined supply chains. profound bilateral trade dynamics, political and economic ramifications,

extending far beyond the respective borders of both countries, is now one that can not easily be taken apart. as many would try to suggest at least not without a lot of pain on both sides and especially in the american consumer and the tax payer. who benefits from this? see, that is the reality that you won't hear about off and on the news and that you're sell them here from this crap. those have the rush you're trying to alliance is the single greatest threat we face . joining us now to talk about this is none other than those who rob goop to. he's a senior asia pacific specialist based in the washington dc and to say that he knows china would be an understatement. so realty, how are we going to be a issue? there is no one i thought of more recently than you. i was watching the g o. p debates. and i was watching all of these guy, just angry and explaining why the biggest problem in the united states and the

world is china and what they're going to do to deal with that. of course they gave no concrete examples and no clarity of what they were going to do. but i don't know . did you get a chance to see that it was? it was like a bunch of a i didn't, i didn't get it. i didn't give the chance to see it and i was frankly not surprised of the all kind of beating up, but reading each of up and then trying to be the channel on top of that. and i mean, this is just a prelude. we're going to see a lot more of this in the next few months. why, why, why, what, what, what is with the? if, if somehow, if i bashed china loud enough, more people will vote for me. are america not slightly wizard going ad altura is trying to show that they have formed policy. create that a lot of them. some of them do have foreign policy. great. others don't. and it's always good to have an enemy, someone who can beat up on someone who use the,

although she is the other in fremont that way. so you have a target and it's always, once you have a target, it's fun talking practice. it's all based on this. yeah, i'm glad you said that because it was a hailey nikki haley who turns in the middle of the debate to mimic rama swanny and says you have no foreign policy experience as if you had no right to be here on this stage after a key had said that we're actually making a mistake and our policies with both russia and china because what we're doing, his words was bringing them together. and that's when she attacked them and says, your problem is you have no foreign policy experience. maybe we need more people with less spark plugs, the inside, see what i taught at that point of time. let's let me give you. let me like to point out to plus nikki haley is saying the exact things that lists trust in the united kingdom says and list trust was the sharpest united kingdom prime minister. and i think 300 years. i mean, she did, she needs to figure that out. like she's her her day as possible. i the and you all

or do you want she thinks about in terms of international relations. it's all a sorry, i mean, unfortunately she was born 30 or what anyway. so that's one thing about what, what she, what she needs to understand now too. but, you know, it's all, just i, by the way, what you're saying with that is she thinks like a cold war hawk she thinks like, we're still in the 1950s. and the jupiter on the, on those terms and then she, you know, then rigging came in the 1980s of them all and flipped light is on water. you can do it. and so everybody wants to be oregon and everybody wants to be attach it on the consumer side, on the republican side. and that's what it was mind the has passed. and i mean, donald trump's coming itself is the signature of that, that the has austin, terms of where the republicans used to be on certain policies. and so they need to, to let me make up and move on. like also, you know, the 2nd point i'll make is, you know, by didn't actually play the sub,

but i think the republicans would be completely on board in terms of he has a stomach and camp david, wake up the koreans and the japanese together. and look at a go, i'll take the are and link, you know, alliances, etc, etc. and you don't let us news coming up is, uh, let's get north korea into our exercises. the russians are saying to a chinese, so you're going to be russian, upgrade china, south korea, japan, the united states. how much fun is it going to be? and using this, the end to chamber, to one more, one into your computer. and that's what good to have, folks who don't have that much room see experience ranking are so deep. so you think it's funny, what you just said about north korea using north korea sen suddenly going to be and, and the reason i'm asking this question is this recently i've watched emerging between india saudi arabia, iran of some other south pacific countries. russia parts of the middle east even is real,

is reaching out to these groups and creating a sort of a, a bastion of, of thought process. if not unity, at least. so it wouldn't have surprised me tomorrow in this bizarre we were living in to me or to most americans in north korea, jumped into the fray and said, you know, what was the president would want to do that. and others would not on well come back, because if the south koreans up thinking of assisting the united states in a, any time on straight contingency, maybe they might be kept a little busy on their border on this side by the north koreans and the russians. and i mean, that's what the japanese lead to think, what they've had this kind of defense foster, which is moving away from the defense of northern japan from what was the soviets and the russian do moving towards the southern japan and just watch when i mean, when the russians start putting a little pressure out there on the north and thought suddenly, you think maybe it wasn't such a good idea to get into a lot and try to do what defense posture. because we need to resolve on macros with the russians, which i am and then to the resolve of both and, and, and,

and rather than and so say that again say that again that we, we have to resolve our issues with the rushes because they have the usually resolvable and, and i, and you and you, you became passionate when you start them and what's the result will do because, you know, the previous one of the previous i was a long, long standing problem. this will all be. he was in long standing the negotiations with a, with mr. fulton and they did was to make progress in those negotiations. and what they're trying to essentially will call this is all been are trying to work a retreat for one side of the day seats all the other sites. because frankly, japan's a position with regard to word calls of northern territories and the curios, there's actually a very, very weak one, legally, very weak one, legally. there on the russian side. no, the sovereignty essentially belongs to them, but they don't have the title in terms of the signature on the title document. and so they're willing to make compromises and concessions to walk around to find a,

a solution to that. and think about it for, for a country like japan, which feels threatened by china. would you not want to have a little more separation between china and russian? lucky, but you know, they're all, let's get linked up and locked in with the us and try to whether the us wants to fight legal. gwen fight on. i'm of the bringing greater problems upon themselves. and that's the problem. thanks so much to rob. stay right there, we've got more questions for you. okay. by the way, i'd like to continue this conversation with you. what do you say we do some conversing on twitter, my handlers, rick sanchez, tv. that's rick sanchez, tv. i'll be looking for you there. when we come back, what are the us leaders actually say publicly about china? the china would never say about us. how share some examples with you when we come back? the

19 sixty's, we're a training point advocate, struggle for liberation. however, in the south of the continental european races decided for a long the agony of colonialism. give 1965, the white minority unilaterally declared the state of rhodesia states authorities pursued the policy of racial segregation. the indigenous population was deprived of real political rights and subject and merciless economic exploitation average in bait variance with the support of the soviet union and china oppose the splinter of the colonial system coalition of pro western countries took the side of rhodesia, the gorillas carried out bold raids from the territory of zambia in mozambique and

inflicted painful blows on the races. as the situation worse than the ro dejan army turned to chemical and biological websites. the races boys in the water and food and planted contaminated medicines on the gorillas. these caused an epidemic of cholera and anthrax and led to masturbate to ality. however, the attempts to break down the africans resistance were futile. the white minority relief was due in 1979. it could be delayed a year later, free elections warehouse, instead of a racist road. the just, the state of zimbabwe appeared on the world map and became a true vast yes. of the ideas of man african is a of the, the watching is why is why in this control if i give but loony of the store in this, this is chad and i showed order for not imagine just the last time scale. you know,

when i am what i could catch at your desktop session on shawnee or just in the funds you bought this one you said almost in the the near the the hey, what about gum? rick sanchez. although the chinese government always takes a diplomatic path. it's part of their culture and their nature when it comes to the united states or talking about the united states. american leaders have taken almost pleasure in attacking china. i'll give you some examples. president barton recently accused the president of china, president j. he said, he said he's

a dictator. strong words, not exactly diplomatic, right. president trump said chinese thieves have stolen from the united states. and then there's hillary clinton, who said that china is a doomed country. doomed. interesting word, joyce insinuating, i guess it doesn't have much time left me and were backed out with that. so i've got uh uh he is a senior asia pacific specialist and we're talking all things china. i don't know if you had a chance to see this report. so rob, i, i wish the guys had seen those who were in that g o. p debate because it came out just before they came on. and if they'd read this report, maybe they would've re, saw their points about how we need to, i don't know, bottom china guild china and our relations with china, china, china, china, here it is. tesla is reporting 40 percent of its batteries, 40 percent of its aluminum manufacturing,

40 percent of 33 percent of all the chemicals they used to make their cars come from companies based in china. so the tesla, which is the car that all americans seem to want to drive these days and will be the car of the future. most of it is being made by companies in china. so that's exactly china inside has the most competitive e v market electric vehicle market in the world. and if a tesla gets this, that's if you want to be competitive in china, a competitor globally, you need to have a china strategy and compete and win and china. because if you win and china, you will win anywhere else and goes to the problem that comes to some of those inflation reduction. tax subsidies which are, which was the vitamin is putting all failed to ease ease of cost, trying to, to invigorate the any industrial to a battery sector and cetera. and true, fair enough. i mean, you want to be a competitor in this place in the space, but before you are going to block chinese competition,

all of which is the built most efficient come competitor out. you are going to create a marketplace which is not cutting edge. and if you're going to create a marketplace which is not cutting edge, you are not going to be able to compete and international markets. so you may not have chinese production chinese cars in this market and you never know, even with all those the, the subsidies on the preferences, given chinese cost might still be be competitive as selling a lot. and you're probably gone tilting in terms of ease. but anyway, the point being that if you want to be work class, you want to be work competitive, you need to compete with the best. and then doing in the inflation reduction that ensures that you're not competing with the best, which will not make you the best and will not make you competitive at the end of the day. they're trying to throw manufacturing employment in michigan and other places, georgia, etc. but they're not trying to create and manufacturing competitiveness, which is look what you should be aiming at long term, which is where china is going. and with tesla is going in terms of the sector. so

it all sounds nice of this so much happening right in the space in the us. but mark my words, this, they will not be bored compared to if we go with the argument that like china makes our stuff and they did it better than we could at cheaper. so that's why americans, in many cases, lost some of their jobs because us manufacturers decided we're just going to let the chinese make our stuff walmart case study. right. and that's, that's really still going on, right? that really hasn't changed. jobs have not really come back to the jobs, have not come back to america. what. what, what has happened is america has maintained, it's become, is the hub of r n d. and it has just been kicked up and off of the value chain. and so, i mean, it is super innovative, it can be competitive, but much of the manufacturing happens. those i think in terms actually the idea of such a thinking. so this is something conduct of the us. so i mean, dominant, i mean the most muscular force in electronic design automation,

in terms of how you do something conductor design in terms of innovation, new techniques, in terms of sending 100 of manufacturing tools. but what is kind of deemed to be more blue color? it's not really blue color blue color because it's such sophisticated production is produced elsewhere. and right. i mean it's tons of it happening. it's all right, so yeah, and, and, and so, and, and so i want, i know there's a point to bring some all set back because you need a basic fabrication capacity in this country. you can be 0. but so there is a certain logic to get even some production back out to. but the point is you have to compete by trying to buy, buy, buy, be going up the value chain and trying to be much as competitive. and that's based on the huge, enormous profits we do in us get a apple, what the sort of the value added in terms of as i phone comes from and much of it comes from non issue sources because less but much of the value is created. and

that is where you have a bell. let me let, let me, let me check. let me push back as an american on this. okay, and i'm going to now agree with some of these guys who are the big blow hards on the g o. p. debate, i get the resentment i. we weren't once it right. we were the big fish, right. the mountain states of america. and there is an argument to be made. i believe. so rob, you're the expert that the united states came up with this idea of high tech and much of the stuff the china now excels in, originally came from here and we shared it with them. and they took it over and they've kind of kicked our butts with it and in many ways maybe even manipulated their way into getting good at it. and that's why americans, at least are american leaders feel like, you know, what we, we, we, we, we held out i had, we gave you everything we had and you've taken and now you're beating us with it. and we don't like that. yeah. right. but 2 points, so to 1st of all, where are you going to go? because you'll beating us with it. so, i mean, you can go down,

don't value in terms of your production in terms of you opened up to you can, as i said, you can get a little production at your end. but you're going to be going back to doing the ball bearings and all because you know, you're going to compete with china and all, but you're going to compete with much will average middle income countries who can, who can do that. and so that's going to be that's, that's going to be one of those issues up. but the 2nd point is, i mean, creator, investments need to be made in society, out your much create the investments in education, etc, etc. you look at, in terms of mathematics scores and all those things, i mean, hong kong, single portion. i paging the students all from there. why should it be? i read a report, i read a report the other day where in china, children in 4th and 5th grade are now being taught to program computers using a i i heard about a guy 3 months ago. i mean, not about a i,

but it's, you know, like just to be the 1st time i ever started using, it was like 2 or 3 months ago and i'm a full blown adult. and children are up, had been program. i literally kind of know the 4 year olds and all that i'm telling you they have the most, the, the for you or the exec. it's that the 60, you know, they have also some of the most competitive educational marketplaces in the world out there. it's, i mean very few sort of competition and it's not usually i mean at best and they don't complain that this was just too much of putting too much pressure on the to turn off. but at this, at the end of the day, they know that there's a box to upward mobility to hardware, trying dedication to a vacation of these things and they beat that. yeah. and they've done that in july that's it's not easy to make wild human, but oh, we should put them. and so now that you've had took it from us, you know that what the sharing that was that happened was sharing off 2nd po, intellectual property. but then the top notch,

intellectual property is never shared. it's maintained at home on the basis of which you kind of keep on multiplying and, and, and, and, and, you know, waiting at your end. and you share that, that sort of thing to the next generation intellectual property, because you can make tons of money out of that, frankly, a bit. but what these smaller 100 poor countries of bedtime, that they don't fit into let your technology and the weight of the present, they move forward with that. and i think that's what america needs to stay competitive also and not. and this is the real danger of tube with regard to this protect creeping protectionism that's coming in is that it will not be protection isn't with regard to preserving chips and also think it will be production isn't going to like a person living very mundane things because production is, is something we can all kind of support at the end of the day, because if you're a politician and that can be in the longer term of things dangerous and that's what is happening on capital. if frankie and flushing bankers who rob,

you're always go to conversations like this, what i really appreciate it. all right, so before we go, i want to remind you of our mission. it's simple, really. we want to the silo the world. we've got to stop living in these little boxes. troops don't live in boxes too, cuz everywhere or i'm rick sanchez. i'll be looking for you again right here, where i hope to provide some direct impact the society of the credit accounts offensively, you know, it was a fine you that arises serious of lucian's on the, on the west and ukrainian side issues about their own strength illusions about strength for the russian opponents. basically, the, you know, that didn't take care to rush or, and you crying was a door that just had to be kicked in, and the whole structure would come, come some, come into those looseness. i've been shopping with the

have mazda believe this, and now the group of hostages, including 13, is really easy. they've already arrived in these well, over a while in the west bank. the kitchen on palestinians were freedom of these rarely prison on the 2nd day of the 5 out for any further negotiations will be done on the fire. that is, if they want to continue discussing the next time, it will be when the bombs are falling. and the forces are fighting israel's defense minutes, the ones that after the car insurance expires in the coming days have passed beyond the heavy bombardment.
