what is the chinese mind set. understand how we view it, but what do you think they long-term, how are they trying to position themselves and why? >> the chinese want to express themselves as a major global power and have done that economically so far. i think that remains a lower priority on their list after securing communist power and party stability. after domestic economic development. i think a lot of world trends are working in their direction and time for them to enjoy some of the largest that they and the benefits of being a world power that they were not able to do for the last couple of centuries. >> one other question being in a different direction would be a great limitation towards china in the ability to continue in the economic expansion. wonder what your thoughts are and how that figures in and how much it figures in and what it might mean long-term. >> with conservative economic growth, there is potential that the resource allocation of precious liquids like oil and water will become an item that

the chinese state will feel. at the time he said that, most people didn't think very hard about what he means. looking back today, i think he was right. this summer i was [inaudible] i will mention in my reading this afternoon. i was there on july feared and the riots broke out on july 5th. and it struck me to see 50,000 people came out with big knives and axes and began to kill people. i never thought china had an ethnic problem like that. and i thought a lot afterwards. i don't think that is an ethnic problem. it is a classic clash, and most people said is in the people who were trying to kill the high chinese and the height chinese tried to kill the ethnic? it's not fair -- not that simple. this area is the region where the war leaves. there are 13 minority people. they were the biggest. in the old days when the enterprises were owned by the state in china we call all people china ownership. when the state around the enterprises, they made sure that these people were treated equally. they get equal employment

what is the mindset of the chinese? >> we're familiar with your view of chinese history.from our historical spirit as my experience, we see rising powers as a potential challenge. to the international community. we hope to avoid that in china's case by engaging intensively -- >> i don't mean to interrupt, but what is the chinese mindset? i understand that we do it, but what do you think they, long-term, how are they trying to position themselves and why? >> i think the chinese want to express themselves as a major global power. i think they've done that mostly economically so far. i think that remains a lower priority on their list after securing communist power, communist party stability. and after domestic economic element. >> i would concur with that. might add that i think a lot of chinese attitude consists of the fact that world trends are working in their direction now, and that it's time for them to enjoy some of the largest and the benefits of being a world power that they were not able to do for the last couple of centuries your. >> one of the question going in a

the chinese, his party was not like that. the chinese communist party was based in the countryside. it had much more popular routes. and this is what you could have the history it's happened. much more flexible, pragmatic, able to reinvent itself, etc. the thing is what maoism did, i mean, he blew away some of the worst aspects of the hierarchical and inegalitarian nature of the imperial confucian tradition. for example, women were really subjugated, and if you look at now, you can see extraordinary prominence of women i think in china given a relatively developing country. this is a legacy with the 1949 revolution. so there were certain fundamental things that mao did to change china, which created the possibilities of what's happened, especially since 1978. so i do regard, i think there's a direct line of continuity to what mao did and what's happened since 1970, even central central planning and all that has gone up in smoke. the other point i was going to make in this context was i think ultimately to succeed, the congress regime has had to align itself with a lot of confucian

we didn't win korea because of the chinese, and we lost in vietnam -- the chinese.brother was in vietnam. the chinese ran out of there. host: robert, thank you for the call. albuquerque, new mexico, john on the independent's line. caller: thank you to the korean veteran. guys like that -- we would not be freed. what does this have to do with them being able to ship goods in here? i know the state department got involved with the nike situation. shoe sellers were selling shoes made in the nike factories but they did not get their licenses through beaverton, oregon, and the golf manufacturers -- they would come out with an expensive set of clubs and they would produce the same, like coming from the same factory with a generic name and sell cheaply on ebay or on other sites that come out of china on the internet. free trade of to be for everybody, not just these big corporations. guest: i think the caller is right, there is something related to these issues. this is, at heart, separate from the center should issue, the intellectual property -- censorship issue, intelle

but contrary to chinese law. so right now there's a discussion going on privately between google and the chinese government as to whether or not they will be able to maintain that site and maintain any presence in china at all, since they are unwilling to filter their search results in a bunker. that's the next play for google in china. >> host: in terms government response, this article from saturday's newspaper about comments late issue official protest to china over the attack on google. in the article, they read that the state department planned action coincides with the speech on internet freedom that secretary of state hilary rodham clinton is to deliver on thursday. and she's expected to allude to the incident. quote, which he talks about this issue, china will be one of the countries she points to on an administration official said. how important is the speech and the administration's action going to be? >> host: >> guest: . i think there two issues here. the google china chose this one is the censorship

i think to some extent the fact i lot of this crime was chinese on chinese and the law enforcement wasmaybe a little slow to pick up on the. to give you an example does a big episode in the story in the store.hich is a shoot out in a a lot of beepers in this book. in a beeper store on allen street where basically it was -- it was his fight with the fuk ching gain. someone walked in this beeper store at 3 p.m. and killed three guys. when i first started reporting on this, the start in the new york magazine years ago. i did the first thing you do which is you go back and look for the old press clippings. double homicide and a business on a weekday. on allen street. there was not a single line in the daily news, the new york post, the "new york times," anything which goes to show you how bad it was that given that we had that shooting up on 120 history, about six month ago where no one was killed. the front page of the times the next day. times have changed. so i think it did come in and there was this threat of violence. but also played out in weird ways that i think made difficult for l

now most experts pointed directly at the chinese government or chinese-supported entities. is that the way the u.s. sees it in. >> well, i think what we see is that there is a broad pattern of restriction of information ina. certainly the government is involved in that. we're also concerned about personal privacy and protection of privacy. and so there are two issues here. one ask making sure that the internet is free and open, across borders so the people can participate in the global discussion of ideas. but the other is the people who engage in internet discussion have their personal privacy protected. >> are we in essence asking them to investigate themselves in the case like this? >> well, i think we've always said that there are constraints ina and other place its on these freedoms. and we are-- this is merely the latest chapter in a longer discussion about how we encourage the development of real democracy and free society and empowering the media to have these issues discussed openly withina, by chinese people. this is to the about us. it's about the desire of peopl

, your keyboard is laid out for korean or chinese. when you do your word processing, you would write in korean or chinese on your keyboard and then to go to a domain name you would have to flip your keyboard mode and work in a second language. that's quite an inconvenience for people and it makes it nonintuitive and just a little bit of a barrier. the other thing that we've learned some of the testing, chris, is that the biggest uptake of the international domain names as small local businesses. so it's not the big global brands, you know, that's everyone knows and latin characters. if the local restaurant or the park or the police station that has a local identity that people think of in chinese characters, for example, that they would never think of a police station or local restaurant and a latin character. so, we'll see. chris, i would expect to see more proliferation there initially and the smaller businesses and groups around the world. but ultimately will see whether this is just a psychic issue, you know, in a pride issue or w

the chinese government can run what they call the chinter-net. i think ultimately, chinter-net will lose. >> brown: thank you very much. >> the >> ifill: again, the major developments of the day: haiti lay stricken after its worst earthquake in more than 200 years. estimates of the dead ranged from 50,000 to 500,000. and the u.s. and other nations launched an all-out relief effort. aid officials warned three million haitians could need food, medical supply and shelter. the newshour is always online. hari sreenivasan in our newsroom previews what's there. hari. >> sreenivasan: we have much more on haiti, including interviews with two people who visited there recently. trinity university professor robert maguire explains why the quake was particularly devastating to the fragile nation. and father gerry creedon urged the world community not to abandon the island country. if you want to help haitians, find a listing of organizations responding to the crisis. and of course, we'll continue to post updates, photos and interviews as we get them. also on

it was a choice the chinese government made, but there is no economic reason for the chinese. on the contrary what you see in china are great mistakes that have been made. a lot of people have a very heavy price for the development in china. a lot of people continue to pay a heavy price and these are people who are living in rural

if he only speak korean or chinese, your kia in europe -- your keyboard is laid out for korean or chinese. to go to look domain and, you would have to flip your keyboard and work in a second language. the other thing we have learned is that the biggest uptick of the national domain names is the smaller businesses. it is not the global brands that everyone knows in latin characters. it is the local restaurant or the park are the police station that has a local identity that people think of in chinese characters. they would never think of that police station or that local restaurant in a latin character. we can expect to see more proliferation there in the smaller businesses and groups around the world. we will see if this is just a pet psychic issue and a private issue or if it opens up the floodgates for domain names. >> is there a security issue or concern involved with opening this up? >> there are. anytime you do anything on the internet, we tend to use open standards and opening it up. most people will use it for good purposes. some people are very bad, and will try to take any new te

what about the chinese government? caller: the chinese government has yet to comment. as quite a surprise to the chinese government and everyone else, google issued this statement late on tuesday, u.s. time. saying that the country had moved not only against google, but many other foreign companies. they had decided not to center their chinese search results, as they have done since 2006, a condition of entering the market. they acknowledge that this may result in their meeting to shut down their chinese operations. host: how important is their work to china? how important are they to the chinese? >> quite important. they are a distant second in the search market here, a distant second to a chinese company. their market share has been growing quickly and it is well known and respected. particularly by people who have traveled abroad or work for other companies. many people recognize as a company that offers the -- recognize as a company that offers -- recognize it as a company that offers greater freedoms. host: "the company said they found evidence to suggest that the

we have taken note of the chinese statement. it was a written statement put out by the foreign ministry. in fact, we have had conversations over the past 24 hours with the ambassador here in washington regarding the speech. regarding the issue of the goal -- google situation and broader aspects of our relationship. i would anticipate we would have ongoing meetings in washington and in beijing on all these subjects. i know you are asking about this. we have a wide ranging and deep relationship with china. the number one and number two economies in the world are going to need to consult on a regular basis tand we have a number of shared interests. that does not mean that we look at situations, whether they are north korea, where there is a convergence of views on the current situation or iran where there's not convergence of views at the present time. >> you said yesterday you were unified on iran. >> there is a recognition that the implications of a nuclear power in the middle east will affect not only the immediate countries, bu

but you're right in suggesting, by the way, that this crisis has changed asian and chinese attitudes toward america and the west, because until now, the general feeling was that when it came to economic management, when it came to financial management, the west knew best what to do. this is how you manage the world's financial situation. this crash, you have no idea the impact it's had psychologically. it's like scales falling from the eyes and people saying, how come? these guys were telling us how to run the world in the financial sector. and look how they screwed up. and believe me, i mean this is something that's so hard to put across to a western audience how aet tuttitudes have changed. the counterpart to that, incidentally, is there is rising confidence in asia that we know now how to manage things better. we know how to get the right balance with an invisible hand of free markets and the visible hand of good governance. and you need both. all those who are saying deregulate, privatize, open up, gee, they were wrong. so in that sense i would say there has been a sea change of

we had a disagreement with the chinese government.n open internet. people should be able to express their views in the most free terms. this will be a continued diplomatic discussion. it is also part of the responsibilities of companies. they are acting collectively to figure out what their role is. we need to be working with companies. we also need to be promote the free internet in china. >> the secretary announced that there will be high-level meetings that will be cochaired by the undersecretary. >> can we ask you to speak directly to the written statement in response to secretary clinton's speech? they said that her insinuation that china restricts access or restrict the internet runs contrary to the facts. they asked not to make such groundless accusations. they said flatly that it is harmful to china-u.s. relations. do you believe that this has been harmful? do you have any intentions of tempering your criticism even in public over this matter given the chinese and happiness? >> i think as the secretary said yesterday, there ar

we shared some of our thoughts with their chinese counterparts -- with our chinese counterparts. we set up additional opportunities for expert consultations. we made it clear to everyone with whom i spoke today and yesterday that our efforts to apply pressure on iran are not meant to punish the iranian people. they are meant to change the approach that the iranian government has taken toward its nuclear program. we made that clear up when they p5 +1 agreed on a common plan to offer a ran the opportunity to ship out its leu and have a process for its nuclear reactor in a run which they so far have refused to accept. china is very much engaged. they are an active member of the p5 +1 and we are continuing to work together. i will not preview what our plans are. i think we have a very constructive conversation. i raised the issue, as you would have expected, on the google and internet freedom front. china has its approach. they feel strongly that they are much more open than perhaps they are getting credit for. i expressed my concern that we do not want to create a series of actions

during ekimov years the chinese government in power chinese farmers to set up their own schools. if the chinese today are telling the chinese people, telling the world the cultural revolution was natural disaster. at which time suffered tremendously. it was actually the cultural revolution educational reach to the countryside. and i did like research mostly in my own county. before the cultural years there was only one high school in my county, there are 750,000 people in my county at the time. and the high school only have two classes each year. each class had 30 students so each year only 60 students from the county were able to go to high school. 17 years of the cultural revolution their high school only produced graduated 1500 high school students. 800 of them left the village, left the countryside to go to college and 700 others mostly go to work in urban areas. so there were 1,015 villages in my county most having one high school student at the time. during the cultural years covering during that ten years, so-called natural disaster, mike county built 89 high schools. from

but i learned from one very well informed chinese person that the chinese party came very close to droppingthe name communist earlier this century. and in the end they didn't drop the name communist, not for ideological reasons, but because they were afraid that some members of the party, possibly many members would say this was not the party they joint and would start another communist party. so ended virtually they would be creating party competition but, you know, ideologically they moved. i see six defining characteristics. to our political. that still exists in china. democratic centralism has embraced a much wider diversity within limits, but a wide diversity of your then you got. economically, in this system, state ownership, and private ownership. china's new to market economy. the state sector and the private sector produces. economically it is not a communist system. i see to the ideological defining characteristics. a sense of belonging to a movement. and finally the aim of building communism. well, it will take many generations to build the first stage of socialism. so in other

chinese are crying out about internet freedom. 76% of chinese are saying they want freedom on the interneto the internet and china and where human rights are concerned, how much control do you have in regards to technology in china? most technology companies are in china. how much control do you have? >> it is important to view the human rights issue in china in a broad -- in the broadest frame. we have a very long agenda which is ongoing and these are issues we continue to discuss. the internet, cell phones are a means of expressing those issues by chinese citizens within that country. gathering information about those issues by people in the country and a way for them to express themselves to the rest of the world. we support their efforts. we clearly did not have the control over how that happens. the chinese government is very involved in overseeing that. that is a challenge we face. it is where we disagree with the chinese government. we believe there ought to be a global, open internet that people ought to be able to express their views in the freest terms. this is going to be a cont

the russians and the chinese need to be looked at through their national self-interest. one fundamental major challenge in the administration, and i think it is a challenge that the administration can be judged, is whether or not to get russian and chinese cooperation in terms of bringing additional pressure on iran. there is also the possibility of a naval blockade. there is no real chance of a military attack from the united states or israel. there are real possibilities of altering iranian policy. those possibilities will reveal how adept at the united states is with dealing in check -- with china and russia if we are thinking -- with china and russia. if we are thinking about judging obama, i would focus on other areas where he is stuck, regardless of if he continues to embrace the general orientation he has displayed in his first year. i would focus on iran. i am hoping that steve clemens will take up his remarks. thanks.

it was so far away and took many weeks to get on the plane to russia and really knew that chinese people ate with chopsticks and my father sort of disappeared. i thought he was gone for many years and has installed and tested he was caught only 19 months but as a child i thought he was gone for ever and this is a picture because u.s. adventuress. when he probably borrowed a costume to look to bentsen and he met the dalai lama who was 19 years old. in that way i lost to a great friend and supporter and somebody who was making fun so that as a pitcher with my sister. i drew maps, this is not imad, this is a map of my daughter. one and i wanted to discover the world and i think my father with his trip to tibet was important because he is directly told me when he came with it was much bigger than i was told as school. this is a picture when i went to school, the middle of the last century. for the first time. this is when the problem started because of a sudden we were expoto the political side and school, we were told this than at home and the was wondering how it was that the parents w

the chinese are insulted as the meetings he scheduled with the chinese prime minister. the prime minister doesn't show up. he sends a deputy to the first meeting. then an even lower level associate to a second. same with iran, where obama is rebuffed again and again and again with the russians. he got nothing in return. you wonder how long this process -- and the promise always is well, we are planning to seeds, it takes a while. we have to relax america's image. when the world loves us again we get cooperation. it hasn't happened and you wonder how long he will wait. >> bret: a.b., his critics say he was naive on a number of decisions and a number of actions. do you think that the president has really grown or changed in his first year in office? >> the most interesting question as we head to next year is whether or not we will see heads roll, new chief of staff. new team. critics say that the his inner sanctum are too insular, and they've made mistake, with the bruising battles and it's time for change. it will be interesting to see if we see any change in the white h

the key question is the maturation of chinese foreign policy.t threats to their own power in asia and more responsible in dealing with some of these very important international threats? here is one example. in the run-up to the beijing olympics, the chinese were worried about terrorist attacks to disrupt the games being a black mark on china's reputation. we worked very hard with them and disrupted a few attacks. one attack would have occurred on an airplane heading to china. those came out of western pakistan. they were tied to al qaeda and an islamic movement that we consider a terrorist organization. that said, china continues to see the threat of terrorism through their local landscape. they have yet to engage fully as a global partner on how these national threats affect global security. this also goes beyond the terrorist, -- terrorist context. their willingness to oppose sanctions to iran, to hurt their own commercial interests and to meet international security considerations. there is a full plate of international issues were chinese i

credit for is working with the chinese.he chinese stimulus package was enormously significant, and we work together in a lot of keyways, and i think we ensured the economic system we were not going to divorce each other in that process. that was the stabilization mechanism. if you achieve that mutually -- if iran is what matters, north korea is what matters, are you able to have other kinds of leverage were china is actually doing anything to help achieve your top priorities? i think obama and his team are siloing off too many problems from each other and are not playing well enough to demonstrate a facility to move simultaneously as they need to do, and i do think it is possible. i think george bush's father fought on these terms. i think george bush was trying to do that at the end of his administration. to some degree i am synthetic of this notion i hear from our readers -- you're not giving obama a enough time. that is kind of baloney. if you look at the first year of every president since dwight eisenhower, each either

chinese exports were worth 1.07 trillion dollars. german data showed that exports from europe were $20 billion less. this is likely to cause ripples. japan's position as the second- largest economy is also under threat. china is expected to overtake it this year. with more on the story is our correspondent in shanghai. >> it has not been an easy year for chinese exporters. the slowdown cut demand for their goods. this latest data shows despite this, china still sent mo abroad than in europe's largest exporter, germany. more than anyone else in the world, in fact. china's competitors complain its currency is undervalued and and that helps it outperform them. they say it is unfair to the economy has recovered earlier and stronger than anywhere else has made its goods seem cheaper by keeping its currency week. china's prime minister has refused to about to pressure from other economies. the country will not yield, he said. >> china is due to publish figures for december in the next few days. the date that is expected to show exports ros

where are these areas of convergence with the chinese?if there's one beyond afghanistan, i would be very interested in knowing what it is. >> there's a range of economic relationships that are important. there is a range of strategic and security conversations that are important. these are two very big important countries in the world. we talk about a wide range of things. there are some areas where we are working together. the strategic and economic dialogue is about trying to strengthen those parts of the relationship. part of it is also to be sure we're talking about things >> it is not about china. although china could be involved in it. someone pointed out to me that singling out the egyptian b logger who has been in prison is significant. he is apparently going to go back to egypt. the question in a person's mind was whether this was a way of signaling that the u.s. would treat dissident bloggers with the same kind of diplomatic status that they treat those of other kinds for purposes of bilateral talks. was that also important in s

i am not sure the chinese would do that. it is not in their self interest.t it would be catastrophic for the chinese becausexd if they sent the dollar into the spiral, they're holding a lot of dollars. we will follow, float our way out of our debt, gradually. that is why in the long run, they will try to diversify the dollar and other currencies. but to not show up, i am not sure it is a mutually assured destruction. the chinese are very rational people who have a long-range view of history. for the next election cycle for us, the chinese look for the next century. >> thank you. we will be publishing charles' speech in the matter of a couple days. thank you very much for being here. we hope to hear your strong voice for many years to come, and i would like to think all of you, as well, for coming here today. i hope to be able to see you again. thank you very much.

the chinese transparency on defense matters is still limited. and questions remain regarding china's strategy -- strategic intentions. this was highlighted days ago following china's concerning missile intercept event. at the same time the reduction of tensions across the taiwan strait is a positive development and i hope to see for the progress in the area including meaningful action by china to reduce its military presence directly opposite taiwan. i am also encouraged by china's recent involvement in counter piracy operations in the gulf of aden. this demonstrates responsible use of chinese military power in line with its international responsibilities of which i hope to see more. i continue to believe china is not necessarily destined to be a threat to the u.s. but there are trends and ambiguities that concern us. i continue to believe that the u.s. must not bashed demonstrate our own interests in the asia-pacific region including ability to project power and i believe there. at the same time we must also acknowledge china's limitations and
