army corps of engineers.y corps faced a lot of challenges in the wake of hurricane katrina. what they are saying now is the levee system seems to be holding well but the concerns are for the west bank of the city where the biggest pumping station in the world is. that could be a problem because you can see all of this standing water where i am. it's really in the last couple of hours grown a lot because the rain comes in and it's hard to get the water, not just here but in intersections as well. he has said he's concerned. that's where the pump system is going to be put to the test because the debris is what affects the drainage we see in this little square. you can imagine what it's like for the rest of the city. so we're monitoring all of that this morning as well. we want to check in with folks who have decided to ride out the storm. we want to take you to orleans parish, a woman who decided to hunker down -- why don't you first -- karen smothers, can you hear me? i'm not sure that karen smothers -- i thin

corp. is no zero sum game. rather, it is always win win and win win always prevails. as the two countries are at development level, the two countries have a divergent history and political system, it is natural and normal that we can encounter some difficulties in disagreement and frictions during the course of our cooperation. that we should make a greater endeavour to expand our common interests and to properly deal with these differences. the chinese government will make rigorous efforts to create a more leveling -- a more level playing ground for investors in china. we will step up our ipr protection and further open up our market. at the same time, we also strongly urge the u.s. side to loosen its export controls to china and also urged the u.s. government to treat the chinese enterprises working in the united states in a fair manner. i think as long as we were close together -- work close together, we will find more and more opportunities and we will find more and more when-when results. -- win-win results. i hope that the seminar could be a catalyst to boosting
