chinese -- nobody, no american could buy chinese goods anywhere. so, we lifted that restriction so that as a tourist you could buy $100 worth of chinese goods. the chinese in turn released some people that had -- there was a yacht that had strayed into chinese waters and the occupants -- anyway, had been captured and they were released. so we had these signals, but we found it hard to establish contact because, for example, we sent it message through romania, or rather we told the romanians what they might tell the chinese. we chose the romanian channel because nixon had been in romania, and the romanians had been the most independent of the european communist countries. so, we thought they might have most ability in beijing. the problem was that the chinese communists didn't trust any one, so they were reluctant to be very specific through romania. and finally again on a trip around the world, nixon talked to the pakistan president, and that established a contact which we then used. >> host: let me ask you about the immediate backdrop to what you

as a chinese. americans thought of the world as composed more or less equal societies than it had a concept of sovereignty to go with it. the chinese until the end of the 90's solvable thus tributaries to what they call the entire. tributaries didn't mean that they had to pay tribute, they had to bring come it was expected they would bring some gifts, but they were also given gifts in deterrent but what it did mean is it became the respect for the chinese society and chinese supremacy in its region so chinese relations are placed more on mutual respect than a concept of equality. but the chinese, as we do, believe the values are unique to and makes them even more sensitive than we would be to outside treasures telling them how to redo their society. >> is it a superiority? >> host: you also write winter at entered the modern age, it had a tremendous experience with diversity by the end and the accounts you had cities that govern themselves and an entire political philosophy built on that concept. y

we can get improvement in chinese behavior -- not perfect chinese behavior, but improvement in chinese behavior that i think one would want to see, and we can enrich the chinese relationship using u.s. access. first i want to give you some facts. heritage has a china global investment tracker. it goes back to 2005. it does not just focus on the u.s. the advantage it has over the research dan and his colleagues have done is it is global, the same database and same methods applied to all countries so you can make comparisons. it goes back, you know, farther than some current work outside of dan's that's being done in new york. the disadvantage is it's shallow. it's $100 million only. so dan's stake in the u.s. is deeper. he can draw more conclusions. the other important difference is we include portfolio investment outside bonds. so, for example, there is a $5 billion stake that tic bought in morgan stanley. we include that. it's not direct investment but we include it, anyway. why? because they are one block from the u.s. congress. there are differences in our data. there are instructiv

we can get improvement in chinese behavior, not perfect chinese behavior but improvement in chinese behavior and think not putting words in his mouth including dan would want to see. we could win some of that in bargaining and solidify the u.s.-chinese investment. i'm going to outline where my position fits in versus some others. but first i want to give you some facts. heritage has a china global tracker it goes back to 2005. it is not just focusing on the u.s. the advantage that it has over the research dan and his colleagues has done it is global. it's the same database and the same methods apply to all the countries so you can make comparisons. it goes back, you know, farther than some current work outside of dan that's being done in new york. the disadvantage is, it's shallow. it's $100 million only. so dan is deeper. he can draw more nuanced conclusions. another important difference is we include portfolio investment of outside bonds. so, for example, there's a $5 billion stake that cic bought in morgue stanley. we include that. it's not direct investment. we include it honestly why be

give bigger gifts but it indicated the nature of chinese society some of its chinese relations lowered based on mutual respect then the concept of the quality but the chinese, as we do believe the values are unique and it makes them even more sensitive to the outside pressures telling them how to deal with the society. . . >> guest: they became themselves, so china expanded sometimes by the opposite of western ways, not by conquest, but by being conquered and then signifying the conquers. there's one occasion, and the man choose from the north. >> host: it's a much more efficient way, isn't it? >> guest: a thankful way. >> host: you said because china was never forced to engage with larger civilizations in the world, it remained basically -- but because of that, it considered itself the center of the world, does that still hold true? >> guest: in a way it still held true with china with the revolutionary leaders in china. they were influenced by the chinese. for example, you never had an appointment. you were summoned, and that was also the same of any foreign enjoy that came from the

have the chinese are tiny in proportion to that.and certainly you don't see the scale of of s.u.v.s or four wheel drives and so on that you that you see in the cities of of africa which are all western in fact. you could see them sort of nature of what is what is happening in africa everyone says that you know it's open for business. but if it's open for business who benefits from that most of the profits made by these companies who are investing in africa are are exported many of these companies and there's been recent reports by the tax justice network which have demonstrated that that huge of molds even the un d p talks about twenty three billion dollars over the last year being being siphoned out illegally from from africa from all kinds of tax evasion schemes like offshore banks and so on i mean the scale of that is going on is unprecedented touted as a lot of theft going on but you seem to be under the illusion that the the most important thing that a business does for a country is to do to make profits there and leave them th

as we know, chinese new year is the longest and most important celebration in the chinese calendar. it is a time for family reunion, a time to reaffirm the value of friendship. it is also a time to reflect on the past, while looking forward with renewed hope, to the fresh start of a new year. the year 2010 is very important to remember. last year, the relationship between china and the united states of america has achieved new progress. people to people contacts and exchanges between our two countries grow rapidly. last year, 3 million visited each other. 1 million from china, 2 million from the united states of america. we see our mutual friendship enhanced, our cooperation consolidated and expanded. especially, our bilateral trade reached a new record of $385.3 billion. 29.3% more than the previous year. that is 150 times more than 32 years ago, when china and america established diplomatic relations. and the state of california maintains its leading position in exports to china. in the fourth quarter of last year, california exported x 0.8 billion u.s. dollars to china, which is

>> the one child family has had a revolutionary impact on chinese culture in the sense that chinese society was based on large families and of large family groups taking care of the older generation. now the grandparents are competing for the attention of a single child. at the same time, the responsibility for taking care of the older generation is leading to a shrinking of the base that can do that. in 2005, nine plays to work in -- 9.2 working people took care of our retired person. this will shrink at some point in the next 30 years to two. something -- two point something taking care of people, so in the resources and the attention that is paid to all the people, there is enormous change in chinese tradition. it originated because the growth of the population seemed to be unmanageable, but it has had consequences out of proportion to any of the original intentions. tavis: what you say about the control the chinese government maintains so aggressively over social media? how much longer can the government control social media for this generation of young people in china? >> i have taken

then from the west because of the baggage well i do think that the chinese have made a focused effortto invest in africa to increase their trade with africa mainly because they need to natural resources a fuel growth back home that has given african countries more options because they don't simply have to rely on the west and the conditionality that often comes with western assistance and with western loans and so i do think that there is in that sense it's a better environment for africa in terms of the choices that they have but i would also say that there i do agree that there is a bit of a values gap in that somewhat as whether china you know there's a policy of not interference in the affairs of african countries some would say that that's not an interest in the welfare of african people and i don't want to make it seem like the west is great and china as you know doing bad things in africa that's not true it's more complex you know the west the united states and western european countries have a terrible history in africa in terms of some of the cold war policies and certainly t

companies both western governments and the chinese government competing for influence in africa that puts power with the african government because they can play the two off against each other and they can say to western firms if you don't offer better deals maybe the chinese will and they can do the same to the chinese and that's what they're doing you see them doing it in a number of countries in angola and sometimes you see you know the chinese think that they've got something sewn up like they will back a dictator like basheer in sudan and i think that will give them permanent access to the oil wealth there and then suddenly some violence and arms splits in half and they're finding they very rapidly having to make friends with the enemies of the guy they've been propping up so they're running into the same kinds of problems that that western government because it's interesting to me going back to point you made earlier maybe we can all agree with robert that it's the people on the ground that suffer the most. well in indeed and what i was saying about the uprisings that have been

there are certain issues the chinese want to discuss. but they do not want to discuss things like human rights. the economic ties are more important for the chinese as they know that there is still a lot of economic development to continue with the growth of china, which they need, more less, to pacify the masses and take part in the successes of china. >> germany and china enjoys strong economic relations. the two countries have trade relations with billions of heroes, and the chinese government wants them to see it extend beyond the export of goods. they want to see do element in the high-tech sector. of one such successful chinese company is a solar cell manufacturer that has seen its profits sky-high debt -- sort sky high since it began 11 years ago. they credit discipline at the core of their success. >> this may look like training for police or military special unit. it is not exactly that, but something similar. under the watchful eye of the training leader, these young men are preparing for their mission. making their company the

first about the chinese. the fellow on the far left, kang yu-wei was one of the principal advisers to the emperor of china in the 1890s. and kang yu-wei convinced or helped convince the emperor to institute western reforms. and at that time one of the reforms that instituted in the late 1890s was doing away with print binding. is a great concern, backlash against these reforms, and the empress launched a palace coup against the emperor and he was placed under virtual house arrest. well, kang yu-wei fled china with a price on his head for his affiliation with the emperor. and he left china in 1898 and 1899 he established a not so secret chinese society called -- to restore the empress decided to garner support to try to get the emperor restored back into power. and originally this society which had members all over the world was raising funds for military operations to restore the emperor to power. well, homer lea whose photo you just saw, homer lea was a five-foot 3'" hunchback and his attending stanford univ

look at chinese diplomacy. if you met chinese diplomats 20 years ago, they couldn't speak english, they were pretty hapless. now they have extraordinarily sharp diplomats at every level. most of them are deployed to the west speak english very well. so you're beginning to see everywhere a desire for the chinese to have a footprint on the world. now will they have the same kind of desires that we have? no. i think there are huge cultural preferences here. america believes that it fulfills its historical role by converting the world to our ideas. i mean, this is a... >> rose: it's not a religious thing but more in terms of ideas of freedom and transparency and democracy. >> it probably stems from a kind of high protestant sense of universalism. because britain had it before as we did. the chinese really view their world historical mission as making china great. and, by the way, if you're not chinese, don't apply. you can't be great. it's a very culturally parochial sense. and as a result it's possible they won't

jaime, what is the chinese premier having to achieve with this trip?r wen's visit is one of the series of high-level visits by chinese officials to europe. this is their way of moving on to a broader stage and project itself as an outward looking and responsible country. china after all is its number-two biggest economy in the world, and china has some $3 trillion worth of foreign exchange reserve and about 1/3 of them is believed to be invested in euro-denominated assets. china's staying the course in europe is very important in propping up europe's faltering economy. china also wants to develop more trade with europe. its number-one trading partner. its trade last year is something like $580 billion, and china want to promote more trade with europe. in fact it's even promising to open part of its market beyond beijing and shanghai to second and third-tier cities. they hope to sign more deals in the three european countries its visiting and hopes to buy more sovereign debts like in hungary as he did in greece. >> thank you very much for that. reportin
